Mothelines {Species Competition Entry}

Postby Asa Willow » Sun Dec 02, 2012 11:38 am

It took me a very very long time just to think of a species that I thought was worthy of this competition, and I had several linearts that I trashed before I created one that I was content with. I really hope you like it, because for the most part, the timer is correct.

Gosh I love these, if I win I would very much like to be an artist, because I don't think I can separate myself from them ;-;


A Bit About the Species:
Mothelines are a strange species of big-cat, not closely related to any previously known species. These elusive creatures only come out at night, and have diets similar to hummingbirds or fruit bats, consisting of fruits and nectar, although they will occasionally lap the sap off of trees. Little is known about the species, but they are about the size of a draft horse, but weigh much less due to their bone structure. Their fur it extremely fine and can tangle easily, which is why Mothelines spend the day in burrows or dens grooming as well as sleeping. Their tongues, like a regular house cat's, have many small bristles, almost like a brush. The furry feather-like antennae are like extra ears, they pick up even the slightest vibrations in the air, like soundwaves, including the high-pitched chirp-like noises of other Mothelines. Although a Motheline's eyesight is brilliant, due to their reflective eyes even more powerful than a common house cat's, these felines echo locate. The reason being that this is also their communication. A Motheline's extremely high-pitched "chirps" can travel over a mile, and although they're too high for a human to hear, someone nearby an actively chirping Motheline would experience a high buzzing noise in their head, like the kind you get when you get close enough to a television. The whiskers on the Mothelines are also a sign that they are nocturnal, they are extremely sensitive. A Motheline's hind legs are very powerful and long, Mothlines are usually very shy and peaceful creatures but when cornered, they can lash out with their extremely sharp hind claws and jump to above your head, making them a very serious threat to an ignorant human or animal.


Just a little overview.... ;3;
You don't absolutely have to use this information/guidelines, but I would be elated (very happy) if you did :3
