Description
--------------------------------------------------[All About Mox]

Elemental Affiliation - Spirit
Class - Augur/Theurgist
[About the Species]
Mox's species is a hybrid cross between any species or sub-species of the corvidae & vulpine families. Potential crosses for others of his kind are as follows:
Corvidae Species:
- Crows
- Ravens
- Rooks
- Jackdaws
- Jays
- Magpies
- Treepies
- Choughs
- Nutcrackers
Vulpine Species:
- Bengal fox
- Blanford's fox
- Cape fox
- Corsac fox
- Fennec fox
- Kit fox
- Pale fox
- Ruppell's fox
- Red fox (all color variations)
- Swift fox
- Tibetan sand fox
The corvidae are arguably the most intelligent sub-species of birds, as many have demonstrated self-awareness and tool-making abilities. Combined with the sharp, clever minds of vulpine subspecies, the hybrid mix that is Mox's species is another entity entirely.
Due to their esteemed bloodlines, they have developed a highly sophisticated form of speech, including a written language, though it is primarily symbolic. Also as a result of their avian counterparts, they possess strong, talon-like front legs and feet, allowing them to easily manipulate objects and even in some cases, various forms of magic. Despite their relations to birds, they do not possess wings and they cannot fly.
The species as a whole values knowledge over all things, and naturally the smarter an individual is, the more quickly they rise in the ranks of their chosen clan. Most have an affinity for a specific element, of which there are five in polite corvulpan society--Earth, Fire, Air, Water, and Spirit. Many aspects of their culture are governed by the elemental forces, though despite being affiliated with one branch, all forms are worshipped equally.
At the time of birth, young are gifted with their own personal sigil. These are primarily more of a superstition than anything else, though it is said certain marks mean more than others. For example, marks that appear in a circular fashion usually belong to those destined to fall under the affiliations of Spirit, however this is also true for sigils of Water.
In terms of general appearence, all individuals possess avian front legs, and feathers in their long silky tails. It is also very common to see them adorned with jewelry, though it is usually never anything extravagent. Many pieces are hand-crafted out of simple materials such as bone, clay, and silver. Bird skulls, feathers, and pieces of glass are all common adornments worn by both genders.
Their diet mostly consists of fish, though they will hunt pheasant and other small game on occasion. They are never seen as scavengers, however, despite their avian lineage.

I think I will make one It is a really awsome design! I have a griffin/Manx cat that reminds me of this but at the same time it does not. This character, a corvulpae, will be hard to do but a awesome exspirence. I think it is great that you are allowing people to make one from these species an the bio about them was fun to read plus it was done really well. Good job!

I'm sorry! They're actually a closed species ]: I believe I stated that somewhere in the artist's comment. I'm only allowing my close friends (these people - [link] ) to make them. Thank you for taking an interest in them, though [:

Thank you! [: ~TheMeekWarrior actually made that connection a few days ago, too; she tells me the medieval versions are called Enfields o: [link] There's lots of other different ones too; I had no idea they all had so much prominence in medieval culture.

Awww that's sweet ;~; You don't have to do that <3 Thank you, though! C: I worked on this off and on for about two weeks, but in total it probably took like seven or eight hours maybe o:

Sabermutt In reply to moxiv [2013-01-05 07:16:52 +0000 UTC]

moxiv In reply to Sabermutt [2013-01-05 15:23:45 +0000 UTC]
You're so sweet ;~; But, yeah, that's one thing I always kind of disliked about the more popular/talented artists on dA. I've been here a really long time; I had my first account when I was 13, I think. But I was always really afraid to talk to people, especially the talented ones, because they always seemed so...I dunno, unapproachable. I understand a lot of them are suuuper busy, what with all the comments/faves/watches etc.; I've personally though never been too busy to the point where I couldn't reply to a comment, or talk to somebody. At least I try not to be Because I really don't want people being afraid to talk to me, just because of how skilled or unskilled I might be.
I use Photoshop [: CS4 if you want to get specific. That's cool you use SAI! o: I've always wanted to try it, but I've been using Photoshop since I was 15, so to make the switch now would probably be kinda detrimental to me [x I've heard great things about it though.

Sabermutt In reply to moxiv [2013-01-05 18:08:30 +0000 UTC]
aww thank you so much!!;; your sweet and approachable yourself now! And I know thats how I felt! Like on my other account, the fact that a few of the most well-known artists thats like everyones idols watched me I was so honored lol, but then when I tried to make convo they would only reply with one word or a hehe I was like...PFFT!! WHAT THATS ALL YOU HAD TO SAY!?!? D': and the fact that I'm a socializer it was like...well that was boring hehe and I know when I get in their place someday, Im not going to do that too people!
Oh wow those photoshop editions are expensive!!! and Oh I will be getting SAI soon! Ive seen a few tutorials on how to work the brushes and I think this kids gonna go far!!! hehe!!:3 hehe and oh a switch from gimp to SAI is a perfect thing for me lols! You seem to be doing just well in photoshop!(which i had elements before my pc had a virus on it, and it was complex!)
