Species doodles

Well like you may have seen on DA, I'm planning to do a little serie of doodles pages about little known species of Felarya.
First were the mantoids. I'm curious to know if there is some races or sub-species of Felarya that you would like to see in particular in those doodles in the future

I hesitate between Chlaenas, gyspa, miaxis, sphinx, centaurs or elves. But I will vote more Chlaenas they have no illustrations and they hava great varieties of subspecies.

elementals, Ariformids, rarely mentioned harpy sub species^^

Casey says harpies.


The obscure races like chalaenas, gyspas, miaxi, centaurs, etc.... those don't have many representatives. There wouldn't be much to draw, and not much to hook people into learning more.
I think as the series goes on, more people will be interested in the obscure races and want to create more characters of them, but right now I think it'd be best to get through the more "mainstream" races first. Besides, it gives folks time to create characters based on other races.

Besides, there was a time when harpies were as obscure as any of the others. That changed quickly.

Alternatively, dridders or dryads might be a good idea.

Being the Human guy, I'll list off a few prey societies for consideration.

Firstly, the Akaraptor Nomads. Those guys are just awesome. Arabian Nights: On Stilts

Second, A look at the Deluran base with their rusting steel.

Third fourth and fifth, Rosic Nekos. That will be an adorable picture and you know it. Alternatively Vithe nekos, or the Scorching Claws and their harpy allies.

Sixth, The Lit Ciggy. On second thought, while that would be cool, we already have a picture of Negav, and while a bar scene in Felarya would be an interesting twist, we want things that will engender interest in lesser known quantities in Felarya.

Seventh, Arale. Poor Arale. It's been so long since she's been drawn.

Eighth, Sphinxes, either in their rivalry with Harpies, or in their capacity as guardians of some dungeon or another. Milkadis temple or Lataran temple.

Ninth, A Tiny society. Perhaps a city or a village.

And Finally, Tenth. Now that Heaven and Hell are more fleshed out, perhaps some sort of image of that. Maybe an Angel Oth and her attendents.

I know it isn't a species, but could you draw that ever so mysterious Ur-Sagol Portal? I've always wanted to know what it looked like in person.

Also, maybe a few slug girls. Everyone else here basically said the rest of the species I was hoping to see. ^^

What he said.

I haven't seen anyone else do something with the titans like Alcazath and his Tedrek Titan pals.

As much of a giantess fan and a voraphile I am, I think it would be more interesting to see more fuana art looking at creatures like Titan Chameleons, some more Tonorions, Flying Squids, Negative Hydras, and others.

I would also like to see more of General Angashrak "The Annihilator"! He has this cool shinigami warrior vibe to him!

I'm a huge fan of Felarya, and I like the girls, but I stayed for the creative potential this world has, and thats why I enjoy partaking in it.If it was nothing but nude, nude, nude, vore, vore, vore, I would have left real quickly.

I think it would show what a great range of things you can draw up.

I've talked to some third party individuals and they have questioned the creativity here (of course, some of this was stirred up in defense of my work, and I have had to calm them down numerous times).

we have very limited visual confirmation of "Kensha Beasts" too.

I have an elven Archmage I would LOVE to see drawn.

I'd love to see more slug girls. Other than that:

I fully support those suggestions.

Call me biased, but seeing a society of tomthumbs (or other tinies) in Negav, or in the forest, would be fantastic.

Let's see. Squamataurs, slug-girls and chlaena come to mind the most. Some of the more variating sub-species, such as the dridder argyrones and maybe some harpy sub-species as well.

why would subspecies count? I would think you'd want to have the general species down first. for the most part a dridder is still a dridder.

So many choices...hmm but if I were to have to choose it'd be something in the ballpark of chilotaurs, dridders (ok maybe not technically a minor race but the doodles could do work towards making them seem like less 'bad guys' on first glance!), and I guess sphynx/pantuars. I'm sure we will enjoy whatever comes up next- oh and the Akaraptor nomads one sounds like it could be fun too.

Hows about a River harpy or a Terra elf?

Sorry for the shameless plug, I know they aren't canon. Yet.

I like the harpies idea, but general harpies just seem too obvious. we need some of the minor breeds of harpies from the wiki like Rock harpies or banshees or Trochili

I wouldn't mind seeing animals in general - from tiny starkala bugs to enormous flying squid - basically anything listed in the fauna sections of the wiki. You could do a doodle sheet for each specific area or break it down by sizes.

I definately would like to see more Chilotaurs and maybe the Groomers. Harpys too.

Arale also gets my vote as does Lily to be included in a sketch someday should it be appropiate. We hardly see them.

Animals in general is another idea I can agree with. And plants! I'd love to see the Podmaw again. Or the Sackvine.

Leppy-"Why don't you just say "EVERYTHING" and be done with it?"

vote for what?

GENIUS! Why didn't I think of that? But nevermind the podmaw and all the other carniverous plants. Everyone knows the least used thing of all are the flora. I dare you, no, I defy you to find a single instance of a flora being used in a story. One of the named ones, not just trees or bushes or some scenery like that. I mean Chritu Ivy, or Alondra, or Carinra or Clampet Plants... I could go on and on. As Felarya's leading botanist I say let's go plant life!

Actually I made a quick reference to a group of explorers spending the night in a clampet plant in one of my stories (I also made a reference to a rain willow as well in a different one, and a couple of the named minerals lol). I'm fairly sure I've read other stories including the Podmaw before, but not often as well. Busted!

Thank you very much for your suggestions everybody ^_^
I admit there is many things I didn't thought off here. Well more things to put on my list

I agree with Slient Eric, I'd love to see some Deluran pics, a bit of knoledge on their exact tech level would be nice, I am having a little trouble pinning it down exactly so far

I think elementals and slimoids would be fun to see.

also it depends on how known/unknown something really is. some species would be classified in a different order that way. species/civilization whatever...

i think more people actually know about chlaena and kensha than people think. thats how it seems to me though. probably mistaken though, it wouldnt be the first.
