Description Oh wow, I'm alive! And after many Β many months, I have another batch of Aequis designs for sale! These are the very first run of the "base tier" designs I will be offering. They do use bases (modified so each will be different) and feature more simplistic designs and color schemes. Base tier designs will not feature rare traits, but are lovely in their own right: or at least I think so! These also represent the very cheapest designs I will offer: They do not have a full reference sheet included, though they do include either a simplified dorsal or ventral diagram for color/pattern clarification (not shown here), as well as an eye detail (included here). These simple "ref sheets" are smaller than the higher tier designs, but they can be shipped to you if you wish! Each design is drawn using Copic multiliners and colored pencils on smooth bristol paper.

Without further ado, here they are!

1. Arctic: Cinnamon. 14 hh at withers, 27 ft wingspan. Large, with feathered feet and broad wings and tail, Arctic types are heavily feathered with a large mane/ruff of feathers about their necks. Price: $40 USD. Claimed!

2. Mountain: Steel. 14 hh at withers, 28 ft wingspan. Huge and powerfully built, mountain types have particularly deep keels and strong legs. They have a long straight single crest along the back of their necks. Price: $40 USD. Claimed!

3. Southern Island: Sunny Gold. 13 hh at withers, 25 ft wingspan. Light and sleekly built, with tapering wings and a deeply forked tail ending in flags. They have a very long single crest along their neck. Price: $45 USD. Claimed!

4. Northern/Temperate Island: Ash and Embers. 13 hh at withers, 25 ft wingspan. Built for speed, while being a little more rugged than its southern kin, with long pointed wings and a rounded tail featuring two long central feathers. Their crest is shorter and stiffer than the southern. Price: $40 USD. Claimed!

5. Tropical Arboreal: Turquoise Orange, male. 10 hh at withers, 18 ft wingspan. Small, yet swift and nimble, the tropical is at home weaving through trees with his short rounded wings and long wedge shaped tail. This design is drawn as male: The tail coverts are extended and he has rounded head plumes just above his ears. Has long sleek hackle feathers instead of the traditional Aequis crest. Price: $50 USD. Claimed!

6. Temperate Arboreal (northern): Smoky Redstart. 11 hh at withers, 20 ft wingspan. Larger than tropical kin, more heavily built, with moderate length rounded wings and a long broad tail with slight wedge shape. Has a long shaggy ruff about throat with expressive crest, longest feathers at back of head. Price: $45 USD. Claimed!

7. Grassland: Rust and Steel. 11 hh at withers, 21 ft wingspan. Built to be at home on both ground and sky, this Aequis has longer legs with compact toes well suited to running. Wings are of moderate length, tail is short. In addition to having a beard of bristly feathers under the jaw, (both sexes) this type features an expressive crest running in two rows along the back of the neck. Price: $45 USD. Claimed!

8. Desert: Bronze Sands. 13.2 hh at withers, 27 ft wingspan. A capable flier and sprinter, the desert type has wide toes to stay atop shifting sands. They also have loose feathering and areas of exposed skin, which is dark in color. Crest is extremely expressive and composed of long loose drooping feathers, and is complimented with long plumes growing off they "eyebrows." Price: $45 USD. Claimed!

Any other questions? Feel free to ask!

I do love harpy eagles, definitely thought about them while designing him!

One of my favorite birds. I have a Pathfinder garuda-blooded (bird angel) aasimar druid that I based on a harpy eagle who is pretty much an anthro-eagle. IΒ also took the feat to give him feathered wings on his back.

oh my, these are so beautiful. I sincerely hope they all go to good homes.
I have been admiring this species from afar for a very long time, since you first posted them,
and I hope that I can one day have one of my own, whether it be after I finally get a paypal, or after trading something be it art or characters for one!
Do you perchance sell/trade 'Make Your Own' slots like some species owners do?

Thank you so much!

I don't have "make your own" slots yet, since I'm not sure how I want to go about them (setting up allowed traits, etc. will take time) and it also takes a little of the fun out of it for me, since designing these are my current favorite art past time. Perhaps in the future, if the demand for these goes beyond what I can accommodate?Β

I understand, that sounds wonderful!
I have an aquatic seaclair species and I personally have them set for customs only due to both liking designing them as well as having to have color and marking restrictions, so I understand that view!
In that case then I will have to look forward to when I can get my own paypal in some months and get some money to either buy an adopt or a beautiful custom! Since I don't think you take trades at this time

Wonderful work as always

*bangs gavel* I'll allow it! I'll note you in a little bit with paypal info.

People like the arctics the most, I think. It's the floof and fluffed feets, isn't it?

I suppose selective breeding HAS shown us this is very true.

Why thank you! Here are my secrets:

1. Stare at things until eyes hurt. Drink coffee. Keep staring!
2. It's bed time! You're still staring.Β 
3. You pass out on the desk, on top of reference book. It will be absorbed during sleep.
4. Wake up! Start scribbling, ignore drool mark on book.

Repeat steps until madness sets in.

Success!

These are my methods, actual results may vary!

I see madness is crucial in this set of instructions...sounds easy enough!
