Description
download to see it in all its glory

ALSO: THERE IS SO MUCH MORE INFORMATION THAT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS REF. THIS IS BASICALLY JUST A REF AS TO WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE xD

GO HERE FOR MORE INFO ON THEIR SOCIETY AND SUCH:





EDIT(s):

if you let me know you're making one these are things they must have:
- mane
- tail shape
- four horns (can be virtually any shape, but gotta point backwards, for example: my Ax clan, the Kaustikov's gain a point on their horns for every 400 years, so really old one's kinda look like they have elk horns :>)
- weird cheek membrane thingy

Some more color info:
-Colors can range from anything on the color scale but they tend to be dull or dark. White is acceptable as is gold, and other precious stone colors. bright colors other than that are blegh. scale markings usually contrast the main body color. wings can be different from the main body color but the top half of the wing is lighter than the flight feathers. the wing membrane generally matches the cheek membrane, but the part that connects to the arm can be different (e.g same color as belly scales, main body scales, wing color, or scale markings)

i'll add more if they come up xD if you wanna do something different than what i've listed here, please note me to see if it'd be ok~


Lines:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------



welp, upon looking at this, the revamp didn't change em that much. D: the tail, head crest, and transparency thingy was about it. xD

happy with the result though sorta, expect more of these sheets as i come up with new stuff.

i actually used colors i like for this one, unlike the old one which was a bunch (more) grays. speakin of which, the background was a PAIN. first i was gonna have clouds, but they looked like mush, so this'll have to do.

i noticed i forgot to color some stuff, but i've already merged the layers so blegh. D: why do i do this stuff to myself?

ax'ranthael 'ax' (c) to me (onyxwings)

please don't use without my permission!

(whoo, i gotz teh lady gaga!)

((i'll give you a llama if you give me one))

i would love to use your lines and make 2 if that's ok? One would be base white with bright blue or orange (still need to decide) and the other would be base black with either orange or red. I would definately credit you.

These look nothing like avians. I guess people just assume any dragon-like creature with feathers is avian...

sure :3 >3> i think i just stored the lines, but i'll get em back out~ if you have any questions about them, feel free to ask me. :3 most of the info is on the group blog but questions that haven't been answered have been known to come up xD

thank you :3 most people look for details that they can relate to avians or any other popular image without noticing the things that make every image unique.

Thank you very much!^.^ I might make my own lines later, but i'm a lazy-ass when it comes to making line art and almost never finish anything. I'd like to design the characters first before i do anything with them.

If i have any questions i'll make sure to ask!

Hm I can see all the info about their height...
But what about the weight? Cause I dunno how many should I wrte for mines. X_x They have scales so I guess they will have about 1000kg or even more...

Onyxwings In reply to Guniek-kun [2010-09-08 00:25:18 +0000 UTC]



golly, i haven't even thought about that D:

i'd say 1000kg seems about right, maybe even 3k for the heftier/bigger Ax.

good question :3 i'll add it to the information sheet

I have discussed with my best friend and I don't think, that your species looks like avian at all. Firstly I was afraid to make one character of your species, I was afraid of people walking to my proflile and blabling "OOMG you coppied avian aswell!". But now I don't really care and if you agree, I will make several characters to fit into my story, my continent and so so.

i'm glad you think so :3 having people accuse me has come to be my worst fear nowadays, just because its hard to know how to respond. though know, if someone accuses you, i'll totally have your back xD

yes, feel free to create one or many xD if you have any questions feel free to ask me and there's more info here: www.ax-sanctuary.proboards.com that's our forum/board where we rp and keep everyone updated. though its pretty slow right now

What would be the height of a runt Ax. Azurite, my one is ment to be a runt, but can use that defect to her advantage since to her size does matter, smaller places and being harder to target is her speciality, but she is full grown around mid 20 if she was a human, maybe around 750-800 years old.

uhhh D:

maybe 8 ft at the head? xD 4-5 ft at the shoulder :3

Azurite sounds absolutely adorable xD she could fit in most human houses xD

sadowzondai In reply to Onyxwings [2010-07-26 04:26:13 +0000 UTC]

lol My guess was originally 9 feet but thats not that far off.

She's like Edward Elric from Full Metal Alchemist, call her short and she'll go off at you, or trip you over with her tail.

Humans love her for that, especially the children. Her hair and horns are at the right height for pulling, or they bug her for piggybacks.

I'll go 8 foot, I'll be uploading a tempoaray ref which is just the body, cause I haven't finished the wings or work out what her tattoos are going to be.

Borrowing my boyfriend's collection edition. Fell in love with the series when I saw the first two episodes of Brotherhood at a local convention

The dragon with the most scales that I've even drawn probably had 1/4 of this and they were all uniform.

I...think I want to make one now ;w; I have about 24 total hours in the car this weekend so that would be the perfect time to do this :'D I believe I have a question or two though...
How would a child or adolescent Ax differ in appearance from an adult?
Would the wings perhaps be based on a falcon? Just out of curiosity xD
Is it possible for an Ax to be albino, leucistic, melanistic, etc.?
Any sexual dimorphism? Females have smaller horns, smaller manes, etc.
Aaaaaand does an Ax have the choice to trim its flight feathers, or it mandatory or trimmed once the individual reaches a certain age?

uhm... I think that's it...

Onyxwings In reply to ErithacusCreations [2010-06-11 00:05:35 +0000 UTC]



Sounds like fun! xD AND i love questions~ xD

1. they're shorter both in size and horn length. :3
2. iono, maybe, i've never used any reference xD cept for how many feather layers, though i do like how the falcon used their wings <33
3. i only know what albino is xD -shot- and sure why not x3
4. females tend to be more slim, horns are about the same as a males.
5.yup, its optional :3 they can trim em whenever they want xD

any more? <3

ErithacusCreations In reply to Onyxwings [2010-06-11 00:51:10 +0000 UTC]

falcon and swift wings are fast and agile for ya; they're triangle shaped! xD They looked a lot like falcon wings, lol. and knowing what bird they're based off gives me a rough idea of how many flight feathers the wing needs~

lol, well... Melanism is very common, you might see it more than you realize... Like with jaguars for example: [link] [link] [link] Leucism isn't widely known, but if you see a white animal without pink eyes, it ain't albino! [link] [link] [link] [link]

Thank you for answering so promptly! I dunno if I have more questions... D: I wish I did lol. I quite like asking them~ Uhm... I saw on Tobias's ref that he breathes fire. do all Axes do that?

Onyxwings In reply to ErithacusCreations [2010-06-11 01:45:11 +0000 UTC]



well that's what i wanted so it works xD

ohhh, melanism makes em black and leucism makes em white BUT not albino. xD i understood the roots of the word but didn't connect the dots. thank you for teaching me <3

yup, they all do and the fire color tends to match their eye color but doesn't have too. :3 and you're very welcome xD
