Drew these forever ago.
Just now uploading. I thought managing entries would be a lot easier over Spring Break, so that's why I waited. c: Sorryyyy
And yes, they're draw (and develop) to adopt. The friend I wanted to raise money for refused to give me her Paypal, so lucky-butt you. Anyways, here goes.
Please read all below information before applying for a Nympka.
About Nympkas
• They do not live on Earth. They live in the Xyran world (parallel universe) along with Xyri [link] and Fanears [link] . Please do not draw them with Earth animals/humans or develop a backstory including them.
• This variety lives in semi-tropical forests.
• Hands of all four front feet are fully dexterous and thickly padded with hard callused skin.
• They live on both the forest floor and in the trees, though their food is mostly found above ground (gifted climbers).
• Diet consists of soft, easily digested leaves (keep in mind most Xyran trees are red-leafed) and occasional small insectoids.
• Their teeth look like this: [link]
• They are wild animals and do not have human personalities/intelligence. They're very cat and lemur-like in behavior.
• They are about a foot and a half at the shoulder.
• Tails are partially dexterous and can do some gripping, but they are mostly used for balance.
• Nympkas live in small packs of about 6-10 members. It is lead by a dominant male.
• In the wild they live about 6-8 years at maximum.
You may:
• Make minor design changes.
• Add/remove scars.
You may not:
• Sell the design if won. Please tell me if you don't want the character anymore.
• Change the species. The point of making the adoptables a unique and original was to allow people to posses a member of the species, not the colors.
• Take credit for the design. I'm not asking you to put my name in the description every time you draw the character, just try to refer people to me if they compliment you on the design.
• Take credit for the species. I worked hard to make these cool and original for you guys. Give me credit for my efforts. :u
• Make your own Nympka. I want to make these guys an open species, I just need to develop them a bit more and get some references and guidelines set before I let you loose onto them.
How to Apply:
• Draw a fullbody, prefereably colored picture of your Nympka of choice (You can apply for both, but it's only possible to win one). This can be a normal picture or a reference sheet.
• Post it to deviantART. This is very important. It's extremely hard to keep track of entries with off-site links.
• Give it a name, gender, and personality (minimally) in the description or on the picture. Background story is optional.
• Submit it to me via comment by March 29, 11:59 pm (Central Time Zone). Winners will be announce in a journal.
Woo! Okay! Wall of text!
If you have questions about anything, feel free to ask me. Have fun! ♥

👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They don't get to keep the actual /picture/. The picture belongs to me, as I'm the one who drew it. The winners were people who developed a character with the physical design of one of these two here. I determine who gets to keep their character, and they are free to draw it as they please.

I'm all done but i'm still having problems. My old computer crashed and my laptop isn't connected to my printer. I'll give you his name . It's Bloodshot and he is male. He is mischievous, sly, igornant but, very protective of his loved ones. He is albino so he mostly sleeps during the day under the shade of the trees. The sun is too strong for him, if under the sun's rays to long he gets a serious case of sunstroke. He does all his hunting or exploring at night.

hey, i have a few questions about the species itself, it helps me get down and dirty when i actually draw creatures.... odd to say since i specialize in critters and monsters/aliens HAHAHAHA anyways
ive drawn the creature itself a few times already to get the basic shape and movement down and a general idea of how it would interact with its environment. there is only so much that i can make out when doing these though, with a lot of assumptions.
um so i guess i should just ask you some questions then haha
i noticed that they are somewhat mammalian in structure, i just wanted to double check that this was the case haha seeing as they are alien for all i know they could be plant matter. ( i come accross this unique situation in the creatures i design myself rofl )
how intelligent are they and can they problemsolve?? basic social stuff like that im interested in knowing so i can flesh this out hahaha
umm i had more questions but got sidetracked and realize my inquiries so far have been a bit more detailed than average questions hahahahaha um i guess ill leave it at that for now??
so far its been fun to draw! cant wait to start a final drawing for number 2 hehehe
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, they are mammals. They have red blood and flesh.
They are relatively intelligent. Maybe the intelligence of a dog, with a bit more cat behavior (retaining aptitude for pack mentality).
They are extremely good with problem solving, which is even easier as they have hands. c:

haha thanks for putting up with all my questions!! it helps me get down and dirty with a critter and draw it way more accurately to the species
its very rare that i see a species on dA that i really like but i just admit you did a great job on nyphkas!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Awe, thank you very much. c: ♥
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
np!! i always try to complement the creators of awesome species. i love it when people post other creatures like this, i just have a special place in my heart for critters hehe
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
oooo this just makes them even more fun to playwith!!! i had a strong feeling htey were mammals but when one is dealing with aliens,you cant be too sure haha
thats a good level of intelligence!! makes it for more interesting characters when they can problemsolve : B
