Smili - A species by Spotty - Posting open -

[Spotty]

Other colours would be possible as well, such as purle. But it's as unusual among them as it is in humans. Brown eyers are probably pretty common, it's like a paler orange anyway^^.

Blindness is one of the most common birth "defects" I've made up for them, I don't think I ever updated with the info on common causes of death, normal lifspan and common problems with their genetics such as blindness and dwarfism. It's not something that happend frekvently but I thought I should give them some problems.
If I happen to make more smilis for adoption later on I coule make a white eyed one for you to fight over^^. Thanks for the idea. If you have any other ideas please tell me so I can steal use them for adoptables.

Sorry to hear you might be getting rid of Izzy, Lori. I don't think I could take her though. She reminds me so much of you that it'd feel strange I think.

:3 Another birth defect could be one eye having 2 irises instead of one o 3o that would be sort of awesome XD

[Spotty]

I could never make two irises show in the lineart I'm using though, that'd need a al new template. Good for people who want to make theyr characters really stand out though.

I acctually mae a short haired version once, but it came out looking like a dobermann dog. Don't ask me how that happened... You shave a munchkin cat and get a dober? Makes no sence.
I probably won't add it to the lineart but if people want to shange the fur quality of their adopted smili that is probably fine. I should make one that is shaved like a poodle though, just for the lulz.

General height is abour a meter. Think large lion and you have it. The length is... Really long. 4 m possibly more if the tail counts. Males are both higher and longer than females, they ahve a rather diffrent bodytype. The lineart is most likely female.

[Eucliwood]

How about the defect of having a shorter/and or multiple tails?

[Eucliwood]

a bobtail sounds sooo boss that and if they had even longer teeth, or an extra pair of claws growing above their actual claws

[Spotty]

I'd love to have one as a pet too, they'd be like huge, lazy, gigant cushions I bet I could sleep on top of mine if it was tame enough.

I've thought about both bobs and multiple tails and rejected the idea before. Multiple tails don't apply to me very much. I totally loves bobtails, but I don't think a bobtailed smili would survive at all, so much of their everyday life depends on them... It would never reach adult age and would never have any offspring, so the bobtailed genes probably dyed down long ago.

Intellegencevice I think of them as a little less than the first humans. The smilis haven't got fire yet (I think, it wouldn't surprice me too much if they did though) but they have art like cave paintings, simple carvings, piercings and jewelery. And of course the featured body paintings^^.

Longer teeth and eytra claws or toes would be possibly to make though.

[Eucliwood]

If a smili were born without markings, wouldnt red markings occur seeing that their dye is most likely made of moss and berries and such, and there is red moss and red berries o 3o

[Spotty]

Oh yes, all kinds of colours would be used on markings. It depends on the smilis personal tase and what colours can be found at the moment. The patterns have some diffuse function and are important for their status in their group, so a bright, eye chatching pattern isn't necessarely a bad thing.

Well,it could loose it's tail in a accident or have it cut of by poachers or something... But then it probably wouldn't survive. A pet smili with it's tail cut of would be such a sad sigth that I could never make one like that mself. It'd be horrible.

[Eucliwood]

red white and blue, that'd be Norway XD I'd expect the females to make more soothing sounds whilst the males might have a rougher and deeper sounding roar o 3o
