Description I might actually keep this one   8U


What do you guys think?  Have you seen a species yet that looks just like them?

If they look like another species, please tell me in a civil manor,  chances are I either did not see the species, or didn't see any creatures from any species that looked close enough to these ones.  I WILL alter the design if they are -too- close to the species.






Btw, their cheeks glow,  so do the things they hand on their tails   >o>   those tail accessories would come in all kinds of shapes and sizes too.

The spines along their back and at the base of their tail are actually feathers  (would depend on the type of critter),  and the wings on their head are literally attached where the cheeks are,  it's kind of a part of their cheeks.


.....I really want to fix the back legs so bad, they look horrid in these drawings for some reason   o_O


Ah, oh and the only teeth they have are the two lower teeth in their mouths, they are herbivores.




Tell me, if I made these things a species (And gave them other traits to choose from), would you guys actually want -and use- these?

asdfghjkl THIS SPECIES IS SO CUTE!!!
I don't think I ever saw something similar to these cuties (but then again, I'm not that active when it comes to seek art xP), and as soon as I read their cheeks glow I started squealing, that's adorable!
Can't wait to see how you develop it, and the designs you'll create! c:

xD  Yeah I don't see glowing cheeks or appendages too often, nor do I see rodent based species often, so I wanted to give it a shot. Mice and rats and other rodents can be adorable too   >n>   They need more love.

EXTREMELY, EXTREMELY ADORABLE!! PRECIOUS!! adferdf gf I really want one sooo baaad! If I get one, I'll name him Philbert and I'll keep him forevers and evers :'DDD 
I really love the cheek, wing, feathers, lantern-tail ideas! I haven't seen any mouse-like species like this so far, these are very original. I think they'll sell very well and their design looks very flexible (to create out designs out of) and fun to draw. I can't wait to see a complete ref sheet for these. I really want one of these and the Dream dragons you've made. In fact I'm drawing one right now
I wouldn't worry about any of the pony-species mentioned in the comments below looking too 'similar'.  Honestly, I don't think they look alike at all. Those are equines, not rodents. Plus, those pony species are just only mere fan species. I don't think people can truly say they "own" a mlp pony species, they're a concept that is already copyrighted/trademarked by Hasbro in the first place. xC
Also, are these little guys small (like mice) or large like a rabbit? :3 Just curious

I think they were joking about the plant pony thing  xD   I do know there's lots of other ponies out there that may hold similarities, like some tree ponies that have lanterns hanging in their trees.  I happen to own 2 plant ponies and one Lilicilian plant pony so I know they don't look alike  xD

I admit I made the face on this critter similar to how I draw ponies, but that's just because it makes the face look rounder and appealing.

Ahhh the size, I have not settled on that yet.  I think the young ones will probably be mouse size, where as full growns will be that of a rabbit or chinchilla
(Speaking of chinchilla's, I wanna cuddle one)

While it may be a joke or not, I think plant ponies sound really cool ! I've seen those lantern-tailed tree ponies, they don't look anywhere near like these rabbunnichillares other than the fact that they have latern tails.

That's okay x3 When I first started drawing ponies, everything I drew started to look pony-esque (especially the head shapes) and I didn't noticed until my Irl friend pointed it out to me in a class I had with her. Using Rounder features and rounded edges when designing creatures helps make the creature look more cuter and innocent.  

Oooh that sounds so cuddly! I love chinchillas. xD

I haven't seen anything like this before, and this species.. I don't know how to explain the cutness.
The adorable cheeks *-*
The feathers ;o
The tail ;x
Everything..
Me gusta!

I don't know if this will be an open or closed species, but I hope it will be an open cuz I would love to have one

Crystal-Comb In reply to huzkieee [2014-09-13 06:09:01 +0000 UTC]

They'll end up a closed species, but for the first while of creating them, I plan to make them fairly easy to snag until they get a little more attention. 

As I mentioned to someone else, I'll probably start them off at 500 points a pop,  or 5 dollars for those who prefer paypal.  Eeeeven if they have rare traits.

XxKatziixX [2014-09-13 02:45:49 +0000 UTC]

So cute! I would say they look similiar like a mix of adorableness, lanternies, and plant ponies. It's not close at all tho, just a tiny pinch~

I would totally buy them.

I've never seen a species exactly like this though I have seen some dragons that have the lanterns on their tails before and I just discovered these ones fav.me/d7ayn43 that are slightly similar but different enough that you don't have to worry ^~^

I would definitely want one

Ah yes, you mentioned not being able to pay with points and all...  *thinks*

Well, we could always do a design trade or something, I can make an exception for you since you have a legit reason and all   :3

I figured out my whole payment thing now so I actually pay with points or money now, just now I gotta keep myself budgeted because college sucks all my money away haha

Crystal-Comb In reply to Star-Wolfie [2014-09-13 03:23:12 +0000 UTC]

Oh, well.   I was planning to do batches for these critters at some point.  I wasn't planning to even make them expensive at first  xD   just like....5 dollars or 500 points. At least until they catch on -if- they do.

Star-Wolfie In reply to Crystal-Comb [2014-09-13 03:35:19 +0000 UTC]

I'm gonna save my points just for that if you ever want to do a design trade, just let me know. I literally have nothing to do every day and I've been lacking inspiration on designing stuff haha

Thank you for answering that   xD;
As for the cuteness, I blame their origins.  

I started it off as a bunny, then gave it shorter ears, and random features (including that ridiculous curly tail) and glowy cheeks, etc.
I'mmm not sure what I was really going for after the "rabbit" part.

So I guess these are pretty much rodents  xP
