Description //all outdated ///


//Ahhh my gosh after literally months of not fully clicking with her design, and constantly sketching and resketching ideas over and over, I finally strayed away from the idea of forcing her to be what my original refs were showing. What finally pushed me over the edge of creativity was the huge inspiration I found in 5019 's Sphinx designs. They are STUNNING and you must go check them out too. They inspired me to think outside the box, and I hit on a design that really feels perfect <3 They also helped me a great deal with how to learn how to draw the paws how I wanted. They reccomended civet paws, which are awesome, I ended up going for a larger/fatter style, a bit more like a bear but kind of different too? IDK LOL <3 //

IF YOU DID ART OF JAE BEFORE;
I will not be removing or hiding or changing any of it! Please don't feel like you need to change anything! All the art i've gotten of her is amazing, and its a huge part of who she is now, thank you so much <3


JAE on TOYHOU.SE
Name: Apricity Jae
Gender: Female
Species: Sphinx (shapeshifter)

Physical Information
- She is generally strong, but strongest in her dragon form.
- Her antlers and bones are made from a heavy, hard bark-like substance that she controls at will, this helps her with her shape-shifting as well, because of having such strong bones she can manage longer limbs/neck, and can also change the length of her antlers at will.

Form Info
- She can shapeshift into any 'physically possible' creature, meaning any creature feasible without the use of magic. (So no extra heads, floating limbs, sprouting angel wings, ect.)
- She can shift into any form AT WILL, meaning she does not have to be sad to shift into deer form, or angry to shift into dragon form.
- She strongly dislikes aquatic anatomy and will not shift into aquatic forms.
- Because of her bone weight, even if she shifts into a avian/flying form she CANNOT FLY
-Dragon form is very strong, it is most often used during times of high emotion, anger or stress, this is the form she usually would fight in during disputes. Very strong and powerful both physically and mentally, being able to make her antlers and bone growth most extreme in this form.
-Deer form is weaker than her main form, but much faster. It is often used during times of fear, sadness or peace. For running, resting, recuperating can be easier in this form, as her muscles are thinner.
- Tiny form is a very small, almost impossible form that she uses just whenever she wants to be freaking adorable. It is very fast, and hops. She cannot physically speak in this form because her vocal cords are so tiny.
-Other favored forms are Bear and Wolf, I just didn't have enough room for all of them. XD

Things that are true for any form
- Always has a lighter underbelly, and lighter spots on hip/rump, shoulder and cheek.
- Always has small amount of gold fleck spots on tops of ears and under eye.
- Inside of mouth is always similar to canine/ursine mouth, teeth size changing with the form of course. Always omnivore.
- Always has two, 3-pronged antler-style horns. They can change shape and size but always will have 3 prongs each.

Size She can change the sizes too as she wants, but generally the sizes are what you see on that little height chart.
Wolf form is a bit larger than actual wolves. Bear form is about the size of black bears.

Personality
She is very kind and caring, sweet but strong. She takes care of all my other characters (in basic world), a mother figure for them. She's basically my sonna, and represents me <3
Any clothing she makes and wears would be hand-made by herself, shawls, cloaks, hats, scarves, tail wraps, ect. The scarf she's wearing in the ref is the same pattern she gave to my smok Lilac .

DRAWING NOTES;
-Never draw her in a sexual or provocative position without asking me first.
-Do not ship her with ANYONE/THING without getting permission from me.
-Do not draw her injuring/destroying anything without asking me first.
-You can draw her in different forms other than I mentioned, just base her markings loosely off of what you can see on here :3

I feel like I am forgetting something, but I've literally been talking about updating her ref for MONTHS and so HERE YOU GO <3 I'll update it again if I had forgotten something. Feel free to ask questions though <3333

Just noticed the "does not like aquatics" and "cannot fly"

that suuuuuuucks...but then again, by preventing flight and swimming, you keep her from being OP :3

Haha Well that is mostly to keep her design from going mighty-morphin-power-rangers on me. On my side of things, I can't swim very WELL but I LOVE THE WATER. lol I just don't want a dolphin Jae or eagle Jae or anything XD Thats taking it too far XD

ahh gosh :333 Ty so much!
Fun fact, I can only stand sketching in those shades of brown and red. I have had them on my palette save on Sai for like 2 years (sometimes blue but meh) and i finally decided that I really needed to realize to use the colors I actually liked XD

haha funny, I only sketch in tones of brown too x'D or grey at most. Any other color doesn't seem as pleasant to me.
pfft sorry for the late reply |'D

Β Ahh, she's gorgeous!! I really really love this new design, and how you included so much information about her alts as well, tell me, is it that the alts affect what emotions she feels, or she prefers to take those forms when she feels that way, or a bit of both?
Sorry if I'm being annoying

tayleaf In reply to Yo-dra [2015-01-19 01:35:34 +0000 UTC]

Ah my gosh! Thank you so much!! It is more that she prefers to take those alt forms during certain emotions. For example if she got very angry and wanted to protect someone, she would probably decide to shift into dragon form so she'd be more effective.
No not annoying at all! I love it that you're that interested! <3
