I'm workin on one, but school started so I am restricted to one art piece a day^^;
BUT I would not mind being a full artist if you like:D

One a week sounds reasonable<3

Artists,
It has been a while now since we have made any of these.
I am to blame also.

Please feel free to make your initial customs, but unless you have any particular desire to do so, please do not make any more adopts.

I am highly revamping the species to make it more 'original'

Here is an example of the revamp



Once the new lines are done (it will not be those above) I will contact you all to find out if you want to be artists for it or not.

Thanks.

I don't understand what made this species unoriginal. :\ It was fine the way it was, in my opinion.

Thank you.
However, it was just a dog with tentacles.
I had received some criticism about it and it made me very uncomfortable.

Based on your comment, if I get enough support, I would be happy to continue the Tentadogs as they are now.

If, however, people would prefer it to be revamped to the new version, I'll go ahead with it.

// I will ask this in a couple of other places.

You asked for a review on the character addicts thread so I thought I would drop by and give you one.

Overall, I don't feel like you could really claim this idea as yours, and that's a large part of a species. A dog with a tentacle tail/tongue has been done before by other artists, it needs something to make it more special. I tried to phrase that nicely, but I sometimes come off as rude so please don't take it that way.

Now for something a bit more constructive, how you could make it more special:
Tentacles instead of fur. So they can give you thousands of tiny hugs when you pet one.
Feet tentacles that allow them more movement. (With the same rules of extending they could make themselves very tall)
Scales?
Maybe try something more humanoid than a dog?
Six legs or eight or twelve.
Ridiculously large horns
Five eyes
Floating eyes
Feet aren't connected to the body

Those are just ideas I'm going to chuck at you, really you can take this wherever you want to go with it, but I would try to add something to them just to make them more of your own special thing.

I've never seen any official dog with tentacles, other than the one staff pet on here. o: And if that's what you, Daniel think makes this unoriginal, this concept is much more original than those fish/whale/shark/dolphin-tailed wolves/dogs/cats I see all the time, especially on here. And they're claimed of being original. And don't even get me started on kias/JBDs/plumies/whatever.

I think this is original enough the way it is. c: But this is your species, and you can do whatever you want to do with it. The possibilities are endless.
