Low Gravity Creature
Name: No name, this is a species, not a character.
Species: Still unnamed :(
Animal/anthro or both: Animal or anthro, I've drawn both.
Gender: You can draw either one, there isn't any real sexual dimorphism between the males and females.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Something similar to a large, stretched out giraffe. They have very long, skinny necks and legs supporting a slightly fat, rounded body. They have large fins for communication and temperature regulation on their backs and heads, as well as their tail. They have two pairs of eyes, the back pair being larger. Their feet have changed since my first painting, they are now more like amphibian feet with long toes that splay out like those of a heron or stork.
- Eyes: Usually blue.
- Main color coat: Mostly lavender with turquoise accents.
- Hair/mane: No hair, but they have a frilly crest at the back of the head. All crests fade from blue to green to white to yellow.
- Tattoos: They are smooth skinned, so the anthros could have tattoos.
- Scars: Can be drawn with or without them.
- Physical particularities: Can be drawn with or without them.
Personality: Usually peaceful and social, they usually gather in loose herds. They are mostly vegetarians, using their long, very flexible necks to get at plants and fungi that would be hard for other animals to reach. They are fairly intelligent, and they are self aware. They communicate with complex sounds via their complicated vocal cords, and by flashing their fins. Mostly peaceful, they are more likely to run away than fight, due to their fragile bodies, although mothers are protective of their young.
Jewelry/Clothing: I don't think they wear any as ferals, but you can add some if you like. As anthros I've drawn them wearing modern clothing, but that's not really an established trait and they can be drawn any type of clothing.
Preferred Mood/Theme: Anything is fine.
Preferred Environment: A low gravity moon terraformed by humans, it is full of mutated lifeforms originally found on earth. Main flora consists of very large plants, flowers, mushrooms, and trees as big as sky scrapers. Fauna includes large, bloated floating animals, flying animals descended from manta rays and other fish, and sessile invertebrates like tunicates and coral like colonial animals. Large animal predators are rare, although many plants are carnivorous.
Reference Sheet: None yet, but I'm working on one.
Available for Mature Content: Nakedness is fine (for anthros, obviously you can draw animals naked whenever you want), violence is ok, but nothing explicit.
Anything else that should be known: Feel free to get creative and reinterpret them as much as you like.
