I have a question!
So I have this species now, the Pliggles (( link in Sig )) and I just got an idea for them

Code: Select all

[b]What would you think of a closed species where in order to obtain one, it has to be gifted to you by another user?[/b]

I just think its a cute idea x3
Like I could put out a batch adopt and people could claim one to gift to another user, and maybe have a chat for people to talk and even just say "I really like this one so I'll gift you whichever you want if you gift me this one" or something like that?

I'm trying out for this absolutely adorable JBD and I'm looking for some help, it's the second time I've ever applied for a JBD and winning would be the best birthday present I could ask for [it ends two days before my birthday xD] so I'm looking for:

• Art of her [I can pay in pets, characters and DA points]
• Relationships for her [friends/enemies/ etc.]
• Coding help [idk how to code]

Please pm me if you can draw her, have a been you'd like to be her friend, or can help me code a form, thank you <3

What is your opinion of closed species?

I personally dislike them a lot of the time, most closed species are very little different from normal canines/dragons etc. and people charge ridiculos prices for them, I occassionally grow fond of free closed species such as JBDs because its more about the community than the cost. I see a lot of people who say they are looking to buy 'popular closed species' all the time and this bugs me, because it basically tells me you're only after the species not the design and will sell it on pretty quickly for a profit, and then there are those who hoard closed species to sell them on later which also bugs me.

What would you think of a closed species where in order to obtain one, it has to be gifted to you by another user?
I dislike the idea, as I literally have no friends, and some people don't like gifting stuff- so I don't know if everyone would be happy in that situation. And its already hard enough to get a closed species character, so this would make it even harder u.u

[~Butterfly Bones~]

I bought another character yet again xD
i thought this one was very interesting and had some potential it reminds me of Prince Ashitaka's deer companion from princess mononoke

design by : Sly.Blue
Also good morning everyone owo

[CSMintCat]

Aaa I'm taking commissions for CS list pets.
;w;/
Examples here.
Mostly looking for list pets or the UR Tiger (!!!)
Can offer stuff like animations, dress-up games (below) and stickers/phone charms (need to be discussed on DA or something.) for it.
Thread is here, if you're interested.

Chara belongs to Kessler.

@~Butterfly Bones~:

Cute character, I like the markings and horns!
I can see why you would make that connection haha.

What would you think of a closed species where in order to obtain one, it has to be gifted to you by another user?
Aaaa it's a cute idea but imo it could cause problems.
Like what if people don't have many friends who are interested in CSes or in general?
And with the 'gifting' thing, people could possibly bribe others into giving them one or something...?

What is your opinion of closed species?
I've always had mixed feelings about this. ;u; I see a lot of my opinions echoed by other users,
but I figured I'd throw my two cents in as well.
Honestly I love the idea of them. I think challenging ourselves to think up something new and
different is a beautiful thing. It encourages some artists to branch out and try new drawing
techniques/anatomy they may have otherwise ignored. That being said, I do think that a
lot of closed species are too similar. Which is aprtially the fault of those who want the species,
since nearly every 'Species wanted' contest I see is based on a feline, canine or dragon type standard.
Like you can vary body structure and all, but they're still going to look fairly similar. My FAVORITE thing
about closed species is artist style. Ospreybutt on here has a super cool unique style and they're honestly
so talented.
But I digress. I've always wanted to be a part of a community, like many of those that closed species have,
but I never felt accepted. The competition, though sometimes fun, seemed to get out of hand really fast.
I love the idea of big fun groups but I feel that with some closed species it's all about profit. And I think that
bothers me the most, because I'd rather have fun that profit. Plus the level of greed I've seen can get waaaayyy
out of hand. To see how much some go for while I'm struggling to try to find money for college is like... did we
lose sight of what really matters in life?
I fully support closed species regardless of the cons. I think that it can really make an artists career and
help with a lot of artist blocks. Everything has it's downsides, but I don't think they should stop you from enjoying
something you like. If you want to make 10000s of cat species, go ahead! They're fun! Just don't get huffy at someone
who's concept looks similar, since cats/dogs/wolves etc are all common. I think we all just need to love each
other a little more and bridge differences in a respectful manner.

I have an art/character related question, also! ;u;

Code: Select all

Any advice for drawing cute characters?

I CANNNOOOOTTTT for the life of me make cute things. I wouldn't call myself a realistic artist as my
style is really sketchy and cartoony, but I can't seem to make anything come out looking cute and soft,
or even smooth. And I feel like my problem lies with the eyes.. But I'd reallly love some input. Which would
lead me to another question because it's a fun one. X3

Do you have any 'cutesy' characters? Show 1 or 2 off, with artist credit!

wanted to show off my new chara from wes! designed by oaqqley c:
i want a boyish kind of name for her and i'm currently caught between kai, callum, and finn. thoughts?


also looking for relationships/friendships/enemies for my characters here!
i can't rp much but i'd love to doodle them and make headcanons!

selling/trading charas here!
you may offer art, other characters, da points, and cs pets!

Any advice for drawing cute characters?
yes yes yes okay! this is my feral advice here!!
small nubby paws without too much detail in them - especially claws; if you wanna do claws make them lil almost oval bits inside the perimeter of the paw, so the character looks soft and harmless.
big eyes, small nose and mouth. make the eyes all doe-y while the mouth (for me, anyway) works best with a pout. a tiny upside-down v is okay! if i want to make them happy i do a small normal v haha
you can make the head bigger if you like i guess but that's basically what a chibi comes from.
and last of all i like to make the fur soft and fluffy - no straight edges for me, but that's just my style.
