āāā Skip the text and scroll to the end of this post if you want to get right to the adoption section! :) āāā ā.ļ½”.:* *:.ļ½”.ā What are they? šThe Hounds of Helheim are friendly canid creatures, created by Norse goddess Hel. They care for the dead and have different abilities to keep the underworld in order. While most of them are quirky and good-natured, there are also exceptions who tend to be aggressive and eager to fight. But no matter which personality - all of them have a very protective and caring instinct and are loyal companions. Characteristics are two hooved hind legs, a short and compact body, the tufted (and also rather short) tail, strong paws and a longer, flexible neck. They can turn their head by 180 degrees. Hounds always have two horns, which grow above their eyes and have a slight backwards curve ("devil horns"). Fun Facts: ā Hounds aren't born naturally, they are magically made out of giants' remains. ā Hounds can stay as small as a cat, or become as big as a horse. ā Hounds are genderless - they can't reproduce unless they have Hel's blessing. ā Once a Hound is 'born', it gets commited to the care of Garm, who trains and raise the pup (he doesn't like his job a lot, tho). ā Diet? Nah. Hounds don't need to eat anything to survive - which doesn't mean that they don't like to eat! Fruits and sugar are their favorites. ā Hounds have four eyes. They rarely use their second pair of eyes, tho. (It helps to see wandering souls which haven't found peace yet.) Rules Of Adoption š°ā You can adopt as many Hounds as you wish. ā You can change the appearance of your Hound, add/remove markings, give him apparel, a personality or a story - but anyway, you don't have to. Do not change mutations, if you want your Hound to stay an official Hound of Helheim! ā Auctions last for round about three days. If you want to instantly purchase a Hound, there's always a flatsale/autobuy option! Once it's yours, I send you a non-watermarked image of your Hound. ā I'm also taking SB for GB (and the other way around) at a ratio of 1:1200. ā A masterlist of all released Hounds with their respective owners is right here: Masterlist! (tba) ā I try to release up to five Hounds a week. One of them will be a special one and has at least one mutation. Important: I don't claim any of this as 'mine'. There might be tons of species which are similar to the Hounds of Helheim, they are surely not the most creative things I've brought into life. Any similarities are not intended at all. I don't want to get rich nor famous with a 'closed species'. I actually only designed them to earn some extra bugs for playing Lioden (exclusively, I don't plan to sell them elsewhere). However, please don't copy any of the text passages or images to use them for yourself - thank you! Mutations š¬Hel isn't always concentrated when creating a Hound. It happens that some of them are 'born' with different mutations. (Names will become clickable and link to an example of the specific mutations, soon!) There are three different categories for mutations. First category affects the whole body/appearance; second category affects the ears; third category affects the eyes. A Hound may have up to five category (1) mutations (only one of them 'very rare') and one mutation from each category (2) and (3). Category (1): N Abnormal Horns - Hound has bigger horns (different shapes) which grow in any direction. N Heterochromia - Hound's eyes have two different colors. N Stumpy Tail - Hound has just a stumpy tail, or no tail at all. N Winter Coat - Hound has lots of fur. N Prehistoric - Hound has longer fangs and longer claws. N Blessed - Hound has sparkly, starlike markings scattered all over its body. N Piebald - Hound has white unregular patterns on its fur. R Volcano - Hound has body openings at its neck or chest, releasing smoke. R Squeak - Hound stops growing before becoming an adolescent. It ages, but still looks like a pupper. R Undead - Hound has a naturally attached 'bone armor'. R Naturalist - Hound grows flowers over its body. R Zombie - Hound has partial decay, bones and flesh may be visible. R Crystalline - Hound has spiky crystals and shimmery gems scattered over its body. R Corvid - Hound grows feathers on the following body parts: head, neck, elbows, heels, butt OR tailtip. VR Stalker - Hound has several eyes scattered over its body. VR Dragon - Hound has scales on different parts of its body. 1% (very few scales) - 100% (nearly completely covered in scales). VR Angel - Hound has small feathered wings (but is unable to fly). Category (2): N Floppy Ears - Hound has one or two floppy ears. N Cropped Ears - Hound has one or two cropped ears. R Cursed - Hound has a smaller, second pair of ears. R Teddy - Hound has small, round ears. VR Cthulhu - Hound has no ears, but a bunch of tentacles growing out of the back of its head. Category (3): N Snake - Hound has a crossed pupil. N Goat - Hound has a horizontal pupil. N Cat - Hound has a slit pupil. R Soulless - Hound has no pupil (solid colored eye). R Amor - Hound has a heart-shaped pupil. VR Galaxy - Hound's eyes reflect the stars and depth of the universe. Extras! [N/A yet]Apparel šYou can purchase single pieces of apparel or whole outfits for your Hounds. Available items are listed below! Most of them are purchasable for a flat price. The bigger items - especially outfits - are unique pieces (only one will be sold) and going to be auctioned off. Those will be specifically drawn to match your hound! :) (Apparel will be applied to the original file of your hound/my original adoption drawing.) Nothing available yet. Check back later! Breeding ā¤ļøHounds can't breed naturally. They need Hel's Blessing to get a pup! The goddess herself takes a tiny part of the Hounds' souls and forms a pup out of it. To get a pup, you need two Hounds. They need to feel comfortable and safe in their new home to be able to let a part of their soul go. This means that they won't be able to breed until you have owned them at least for one week. Once your Hounds are ready - and Hel's Blessing is available - you can ask for a pup. Both Hounds have to be your own ones, otherwise I need a written agreement from both owners. This baby Hound will look like its parents, shares their markings and colors, OR will even show mixed variants! (Example: White Base + Black Base = Grey Base) Mutations won't be inherited, though! They occur as failed concentration (blame the goddess) and happen by accident. If you want Hel to reproduce such a mutation, you can always try to bribe her... Keep in mind that this is completely random and might end in a result you weren't looking for. If you'd rather like to get a unique and personalized Hound, consider buying a custom! Customs āØIf you're looking for a Hound with specific colors, traits or mutations, you can order a custom one right here. The rarer the Hound should be, the more expensive it gets! This is not available now, a pricelist is coming soon! :) ā.ļ½”.:* *:.ļ½”.ā Available HoundsHere you can find some adolescents who just finished their training! There are always a bunch of 'Normies' for sale, but once a week there's one special Hound that shows (multiple) rare mutations. Those don't have an autobuy! If you purchase a Hound, I'll send you a non-watermarked version of their sheet via PM. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask! Auctions end at 3rd January, 12:00am Lioden time Cryptic Words Liquid Gold Deep Blue Good Boy Ancient Stories 0 players like this post! Like? Edited on 03/01/18 @ 12:10:54 by Herzgold (#133139) |

I would definitely be interested! You could even start auctions around 400-600SB and maybe do flatsales of 1-4GB depending in complexity and/or mutations. Do you do commissions? 0 players like this post! Like? Edited on 27/12/17 @ 02:10:13 by BritishAce (#78363) |

Those are amazing. I need One. Or Ten maybe XD As BritishAce said, auctions should probably start at around 400/500sb tho. 100 seems a little too low 0 players like this post! Like? Edited on 27/12/17 @ 02:29:17 by Bonestream (#35246) |

Ohh thanks a lot for your opinions, guys! Glad to read that my quick creature concept isn't that bad. <3 I'll keep in mind to set the starting prices for auctions a bit higher! And @BritishAce, concerning commissions, it's a bit complicated! Highly depends on the character and complexity of the picture since I rarely have enough free time to work on detailed art :') Smaller things like busts or non-shaded fullbodies shouldn't be a problem tho! 0 players like this post!

I would love to buy the hound featured above if possible. <3 Around 6GB I thought would be reasonable? 0 players like this post! Like? |

@Poppy omg that was quite... unexpected! :O But sure, if you'd like this guy I will gladly reserve him for you!ā„ I think I will open a shop for these adoptables in the coming days, and I can send you the original and non-watermarked file of him once this is done! Would that be alright for you?<3 (No payment necessary until then!) 0 players like this post! Like? |
