Hello everyone! Just giving an update on how the Faelora is coming along with their revamp. :)

We currently have all four bases lineart completed along with the shading. Next up we'll be working on getting their genes finished. There is currently no ETA that I can give when they will be fully completed, but we will make sure to keep everyone updated throughout their stage progress.

Please make sure any criticism given is constructive and keep in mind that color allocations might not be fully correct as the picture above was made as an example, thank you. :)

OMG!!! That is gorgeous!

Absolutely beautiful

AHHHHHHH I'M SO EXCITED FOR THEM TO BE DONE

I love them.

I love the shading.
If there is anything I would change, it would be the adult male's height/width ratio. He is taller than he is long (not counting antlers or tail).

Edit: The art truly is awesome. I have a new favourite species. I love how the tail is a leaf, and the thick, almost wooden looking vines have a cool vibe to them.

Even in recognizing that color allocations probably aren't finalized, I'm wondering if the vines and that jarring blue tail are intended to be the same color, or if they'll be different color slots so they won't have to match.

I love bold colors on the vines - it's a good chance for some vibrancy and contrast to set them apart which is a designer's dream - but if that means the faes will have to have a bright and bold booty as well I'm... I'm gonna have trouble liking these. Having to choose "bold booty for bold vines" or "vines must match everything else if you want to avoid a bold booty" would be very disappointing.

(IE, I would prefer the option to make the tail white like the underbelly, or yellow/orange like the chest flowers, maybe even a warm pink that works with the orange and yellow to give it a sunset vibe, while still keeping everything else the same)


Other than that little worry, they are gorgeous and I look forward to seeing how mutations will be divvied up! :D

I was a little worried because I liked the faelora the way that they are, but this is a vast improvement! I might still like the current male hatchlings a lil more, I can't pinpoint what it is, I think the eyes? But I feel like these are really cohesive designs that reflect the species so good job!!

Oh wow! I might have a new contender for favourite species!

I am puzzled about the adult male image. He appears to me to have a large hank of fluff, or fur, dangling below his right ear. I think it resembles a foxtail (outlined in green/pink below). There's no corresponding fluff/fur below his left ear. What is it?


Maybe if it looked a bit like this, the viewer could see that the animal has fluff/fur on both sides.



Side note: The adult female's neck appears to me to be a bit too sharply twisted. True, real-world deer can twist their necks ever farther, but they have proportionately longer, thinner necks.
