Description
Thank you to Simonetry for helping set out my sheet qvq <3333
EARS - HORNS - NECKS - EYES - TAILS
Havlabeest live on their own planet (Polinnar) inhabited by other creatures - they consume plant's nectar by giving somewhat a vampire's kiss to the flower and draining the nectar, but not enough that it will die completely.
These tiny creatures are only 13cm in size, that's five inches!
Their tails hold their honey, the bigger the tail on a halvabeest, the higher the status. Their two toed feet make it easy for them to climb up the stems of plants and the pads on their hands secret the sticky honey goodness to also aid their climbing ability. There are some species of Halvabeest however that stray away from normal plant life and even go climbing the treetops for the best flavoured honey!~
Over the course of a life time, the honey tail will swell in size and at the point of their time to leave the world, a liquid honey flower blooms and drips freely into the pod they were born in and allows other creatures to harvest the honey.
Because Polinnar's atmosphere consists mainly of pollen, when the right conditions are met with rainfall, a Havlabeest's pod grows in the area it lands in, gelatenous and sticky until the pup bud is birthed! Pups are temporarily feral for at least a month while they are learning to walk, soft, round, chubby and muscular in a lot of the wrong places - but at least won't try to take your finger off.
The pod that they were born in becomes their home in which they build around and its certainly not uncommon for villages of Havlabeest to grow - even underground and in the treetops! They run their own trade with one another and each Havlabeest has a different flavour depending on the continent that they live in and the nectar that they consume!
Spicy, sweet, bitter and that one honey you wouldn't want to eat, but apparently its medicinal! The creatures and inhabitants who also harvest the honey the Havlas create use it for these purposes, but often get the worse end of the deal... For a ill Havlabeest, all it takes is one of the opposite flavour to cure them.
When they wander into human/humanoid territory, they're often the type of creature to get themselves stuck in a glass jar - which has rather humorous endings - often ending with bitten fingers. But if they fits, then they sits!
Havlabeest are a CLOSED SPECIES by SAVlOUR PLEASE DO NOT MAKE YOUR OWN UNLESS YOU HAVE AN MYO SLOT OR HAVE PURCHASED AN ADOPT!

At the moment they’re on hold to getting a rework so there’s no price until then, so they’re currently closed until I get things sorted for another time!

Looks cool, and is pretty unique, one question, why is it closed?

Thank you for the lovely compliment on the species, it is very much appreciated; I don’t get comments like this often but I shall answer this: it is a personal species of mine that resides in its own headworld, eventually they will become integrated in their own ARPG when I get the time to work more with them. It is closed to allow for the fact the game will bring new members in in limited droves to handle the game better and keep testing it through and through as well as slowly build up a community and keep the lore and anatomy in place. If people don’t want to participate in the ARPG and have them, that is fine too!
When I mention anatomy and lore, what I do notice with a lot of open species, (example vernids), people don’t seem to listen about making sure the species stays within its anatomy or breaks lore - or not making a higher class one (speaking about even semi-open species in this regard). With it being a closed species, yes it is limited, but it’s limited to its own anatomy and lore to make sure that it doesn’t cross paths with other species and end up confusing others!
Small note as well, I do not intend this to be in a mean spirited way please do not take it that way as I am simply trying to help, but I don’t think the artists work you’re reuploading are going to be too happy with you and you may end up getting your account banned if you get DMCA’d by them.
If you’re about open species, why not make some open species of your own (again not said in a mean spirited way), I’m sure you could make some gorgeous open species as well! You’ve got the right idea in the sense that there are some that may not come across as original, but this is certainly not the way to go - perhaps growing your own open species community would perhaps help in terms of understanding?
If you would like to further contact me regarding this, your opinions and everything, you’re free to note me or if you have discord that would work better than me on eclipse right now! I apologise this took me so long to write, but I hope this helps?

Thank you so much you are really nice, I'm using this account mainly just to reupload people's work as open species, I will however take my copy of your work down as you have spent a long time developing it and all you want is a little money from it just don't overcharge people for it and don't take a species someone made that has a small detail in it that can resemble your work and yell at them for it, thank you

Awww, I am glad to know I am nice, I do try and be nice to everyone I meet and it’s a pleasure to be able to have such a civilised conversation with you - I feel that some owners come off a little hard and makes it hard for everyone to communicate without the original point coming across!
On the contrary, I would never dream of yelling at anyone for taking a small detail or similar feature, of any species of mine; not only is it cruel, it limits the other artists creativity and we are all growing artists.
Thank you for being so kind and understanding in this regard and like I said, if you wish to contact me, you can note me or even have my discord to contact if you so wish!

However, I made no failure to mention you in the halvabeest drawing

Just realised you're the guy that yelled at someone for asking if they could draw a creature you made, you were claiming legal rights to something you have no patent for, my post isn't getting taken down by me
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I did not yell at them, merely explained, also please remember, that when you create something (on dA) you’re covered under a Creative Commons license, the smallest and freest form of copyright. I shall not go deeper into this however since I have no will to get into an argument over patents and licenses.
Please also remember, that I don’t tolerate people yelling at me first also; I expect to be treated the same as you have treated me in this thread. If you treat me with attacks, then I shall respond with a bit more frustration, but never yelling. Yelling has never solved a problem.
I’ve said before at the very start, instead of uploading other people’s work and forcing them to be open species when others have made them otherwise, why not make your own open species than risking yourself getting banned from dA from others DMCA’ing you (not meant as a threat but some people may not be as nice and understanding about all this)
Even so, if you want any help creating an open species, I could doodle you up some concepts based on descriptions for you to make open species out of and develop a community of your own! The whole point of species on dA is that they are community making in a massive cycle!
I hope that you take my words to heart and read them carefully, I do not mean any harm towards you, I too am trying to understand and get better in situations such as before. It helps me learn and grow from my mistakes as a species owner. I wish you luck in your species endeavours and please do not hesitate to contact me if you want me to make you some doodle concepts for you to work with!
Have a lovely day! <3

No harm taken and no harm dealt, I just don't like that they're closed species, and your species keep popping up in my recommended, I'm not marking on all of them just these two, I know I'm risking being banned I just can't stand people making all these closed species and always saying that I copied them
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh goodness, I am so sorry that people harmed you in this way to upset you like this. I know what it’s like in all honesty, I used to be really upset about certain species back around 2013-2014? And it was over the most simplest concepts and things.
But what I couldn’t stand was people getting attacked for using traits that a popular cs had etc etc (I could understand if they legit traced over a species owners art and things). I am so sorry you had to go through the same thing and that you were hurt in such a way.
In all honesty, I’d like to see the concepts you made that people accused you of copying them, I’m sure they’re not that bad and I personally would like to see your art as well, it would be nice to see the art and species work of someone so civilised. I’d really hate to see you get banned from the site like this in all honesty

I'm putting no link between this account and my main account, I don't like it don't suppress because you want money
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Please remember you are free to note me, nothing will come out of it - I am not one to send white knights screaming at people for it (in the communities I run, those that do attack will be warned against it and further continuation can get them temporarily blacklisted until they have learned to not do that to other artists.) You are ALWAYS welcome to be in my inbox, whether on this account or your main (though if something does happen to this account I would really honestly like to keep in contact with you, you have some great opinions and are very chilled which is nice)
Species aren’t just because of money, it’s the community, pays for assets such as a website, core for the group, and allows us to spend even more time on the groups to build them up into something the community wants.
Have you considered a lot of open species can also make money too, so your argument becomes a double edged blade essentially in terms of closed species can make money for their reasons, but open species can ALSO make money for their own reasons too, but like I said at the start of this; mine are closed due to them being part of a personal headworld and community that wishes to join!
Seriously thank you so much for talking to me calmly, I appreciate this a lot more than you probably think, it’s nice being able to get some insight and again I am so darn sorry you got treated so badly that people attacked you for it

How can open species make money, other than request (those are to different things) ?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
How do you mean? I’m a little tired having pretty much been awake for an hour so please explain how you mean?
There are and have been open species that can make a lotta money, for example Vernids before they were discontinued due to people continually stressing the owner out, dessert buns before they became closed, any of plushpons open species made a lotta money - even griffsnuff has their own open species (search up their open species ) and can still sell for a lotta money but they’re still open species that people can also make for themselves
Some people don’t want to do art for free, some do (why commissions and requests exist). I do free art for example for friends of mine when I get the time to or want to de stress myself, but I stick mostly to commissions or adopts either of one offs or species related. I have to take into consideration my carpal tunnel so I don’t overwork myself to the point I can’t work. But this isn’t species related.
If you wish to share in notes, I wouldn’t mind giving ya a follow and all and I really wouldn’t mind listening to your concerns and opinions, you’ve had a pretty rough time from what I’ve gathered with other species

They're selling their artwork, people are allowed to make their versions which have many differences, closed species artist aren't allowing people to make something that resembles a closed species in the slightest, do commissions or request if you want to make money, or bid off your art, just don't release art of a shrimp with long legs and force people to pay and all they did was draw shrimp. (Just an example)

Ohhhh I see what you mean now, I’m sorry I’m the big dumb tonight OTL
It kinda depends on the species, some open species may want you to keep it basic but there are some closed species that do the same! But when making something that resembles a closed species but it’s not that species, wouldn’t it be better to make a better twist on it?
Add things that you don’t see on their anatomy, put something else on it, a slime ball closed species (using as an example I don’t think it exists but if it does hooo boi).
You make a slime ball for example just like the image of the species you get inspired by. You think “What if this species had an insectoid element” so you add an insect exoskeleton, you give it an abdomen but it’s transparent with slime qualities. The more you add onto it, the more it becomes your own thing, which in turn you make something original for yourself and haven’t limited yourself!
...Wait there’s a shrimp species with long legs? Do they literally just resemble shrimp with no special quality that makes em different? As a cs I wouldn’t agree with it, I mean, I have an anthro shrimp one off from years ago RIP

What a neat species! I love how small they are~! Absolutely precious.

They look like something that would be adored by thousands, if not millions of people. THEY ARE ADORABLE!

As they get older, their tail swells and a honey flower blooms, they usually die above their pod in which the honey freely drips to be harvested or if the pod is left for a certain amount of time with the right conditions, a Havlabeest can be reborn!~
