Edit: the more I look at this and the ref the more I think I may have made it darker than it should be. :T
double edit: Woo my first gold star!! my efforts in trying a new effect paid off!!! Thank you, everyone!!
This is my entry for @BloodHybrids contest #BHcontest1
I chose to draw River. I tried to do that an effect in water, the one that, if you get further from the object, the more blurry the object gets. I think I did a pretty good job on this!
Wow, I love the #3d on this
I hope this is okay!

Re: No worries, you still did amazing!
03 Jan, 2017, 2:13 am
Re: I just felt like there should have been more blue on the purple one and white stripes on the blue one. But again, you still did really great!
03 Jan, 2017, 2:18 am
Re: Aw its okay. I understand, also, I am working on a pic with all the guardians including yours next to the Queen #ZeranaSF. :3
03 Jan, 2017, 3:04 am
Re: Okay, once you choose tell me and I will get working :3 Take as long as you need to decide. I am patient ^-^
03 Jan, 2017, 4:39 am
Re: Hmm... Would you be able to draw a #KerloteSF? I could make you a rare Solitary one :3 (Which abbility? Like what element?)
03 Jan, 2017, 4:40 am
And again, its perfectly fine with the attitude :3
03 Jan, 2017, 6:15 am
Re: Okay... Want a custom of the species? I made the ref sketch. Also XD
03 Jan, 2017, 5:02 pm
This looks really cool! You did a great job with the watery effects and the shading! Good luck in the contest. ^-^
03 Jan, 2017, 6:14 pm
Re: Okay you can have a kerlote :3 What abbility do you eant it based off of and what gender?
03 Jan, 2017, 7:51 pm

03 Jan, 2017, 7:51 pm

04 Jan, 2017, 12:13 am

04 Jan, 2017, 12:25 am
Re: Np :3 And Thanks! That is so nice! Do you mean my medical condition? (Disautonomia?) *hugz* your so kind x3
04 Jan, 2017, 1:03 am
Re: Yeah... It sucks but they might have found a cure in a certain bee. My worst nightmare of all things XD (I am weird, I am not afraid of aliens yet bees make me run for the hills XD) and yeah that would be cool! I need to start on her ref after all the other zerana adopts... But I have fun designing x3
04 Jan, 2017, 1:43 am
Re: There are different forms?! o_o
04 Jan, 2017, 1:54 am
Re: Yeah I have NCS. My faints are getting longer though so it is getting more scary...

re: oh cool! I haven't been able to get an apocalypse dragon yet :/
04 Jan, 2017, 9:44 pm
Re: Haha, don't worry if you missed the egg adopts - there will be more in the future, hopefully. ;)
04 Jan, 2017, 11:51 pm
Re: Oh, did you really? I'm sorry about that. Next time (that is, if I can do them), I won't be choosing winners randomly but rather based on how much the artist wants the egg. Friends are more likely to get one because I know it when they are being honest about their feelings, so you'd be in luck. ;)
05 Jan, 2017, 12:46 am
Re: Lol, well if I can tell that you genuinely want it, then you'll get it. I might also do DTAs so people can actually see what they're getting and can test drawing them first (and I won't be judging for skill but for the same reasons as the eggs), or maybe some other activities. I can't promise anything though, as I have a life to attend to and I am only human.

Re: I will answer each indevidual, hang on I am braindead, so might take me a sec to think of an answer...
05 Jan, 2017, 1:10 am
Re Q1: Yes, all four arms are the same, they run with all limbs, walk with back tucked in, dig with front, and when they howl by sitting on their back legs and their front limbs tucked in. When they dig in the groind and not the side of a hill to make a burrow, they use all four front limbs. (Hope that helps! And no worries :3)
05 Jan, 2017, 1:16 am
Re Q2: Yeah but pack info usually would be for the RP, since on the subject, wanna join #FuryAndFireRP? Your Lakarix could be in it and fit perfectly :3 If so, he/she can be in #AriSF's pack, GreenWillow, but alert the other packs about danger as his job. The Alpha would highly respect him/her too ^-^
05 Jan, 2017, 1:16 am
(*His/Her job)
05 Jan, 2017, 1:20 am
Re Q3: Hmmm... I'd say as for "restrictions", just dont change the design colors and how the species itself is :3 Suggestions.... Some cool ones would be, Blue and white with green eyes, Pink and purple with red eyes, Dark grey and green with yellow eyes would be cool, ummm and Red, orange and Yellow with purple eyes :3
05 Jan, 2017, 1:21 am
Basically, I just need to know two fur colors, gender and eye colors ^-^
05 Jan, 2017, 1:34 am
Re: Hmm... Okay, maybe choose one from the ideas I put and I will make it then if you don't like it, I will pit it up for adoption? I dont mind doing that :3
05 Jan, 2017, 1:36 am
Re2: Also, thats fine, it was just an offer to join the RP and yeah the lone-"wolf" sounds cool :3 Even then, after four o clock PM I can randomly RP with you, you could just post it when you want and we can do a mini FaF with the Lakarix's :3
05 Jan, 2017, 1:42 am
Re: Hmm... Yeah I could maybe make yours completely unique, maybe toxic waste dripping from the mouth, him being green and black with red and orange feathers? I can "mutate" him, that'll be fun x3
05 Jan, 2017, 1:44 am
Re: Um lets see... Six Fourty Four :3
05 Jan, 2017, 1:52 am
Re: Yup. Colorado, mountain time :3 LOVE THE PLACE hate the weather XD Also, tell meh mutation ideas 0w0
05 Jan, 2017, 2:02 am
Re: Nah, thats just a sterio type, I know how you all pretty much talk normally :3
05 Jan, 2017, 2:06 am
Congrats on gold! :D
05 Jan, 2017, 2:15 am
Re: Oh dear, you'd better go fix it then if you can! :O But yeah, I get that. My next semester just started, but since I'm sick I don't exactly have to start yet. 'XD
05 Jan, 2017, 2:18 am
Re: Yeah I can do most of that, lemme get workin on him CUZ HE SOUNDS AMZING X3
05 Jan, 2017, 2:59 am
Re: Um, okay I can do that, I will post lineart, then post colored :3
05 Jan, 2017, 3:37 am
Re: Yeah and Okay :3
05 Jan, 2017, 3:56 am
Re: Aww thanks, no rush though :D Also I uploaded line art and basic coloring of the toxic stuff :3
05 Jan, 2017, 4:11 am
Re: I tried the feather thing, it looked bleh soo... Glad you like the rest though! :D I did experiment a lot too but I felt the one I posted looks best but I will fix the markings then start the main ref :3
05 Jan, 2017, 4:12 am
But male or female?! I need to know before I finish because female have hooves.
05 Jan, 2017, 4:17 am
Re: I dont do genderless things sorry. I just cant draw that, or say that. No clue why...
05 Jan, 2017, 4:22 am
Re: thank you so much! ^-^
05 Jan, 2017, 4:49 am
Re: ? As far as I know you have not.
And I'm sorry if I may you fill that you have, I tend to be really quiet, and very busy that I don't always comment very often, or I keep it very short, but I should try and do better.
So I'm sorry if I made you think you have offended me in any way, you have not. :)
05 Jan, 2017, 5:20 am
Re:Okay male it is! :3 I shall start x3
05 Jan, 2017, 5:25 am
Haha I just realized what you missed here, River has twin sails, they connect into one on his head but split down either side of his back, I guess it was hard to notice in the reference. I should do a better pic sometime to showcase that
05 Jan, 2017, 6:38 am
Almost done! He looks AWSEOME X3
05 Jan, 2017, 4:14 pm
Re: Sweet! X3 Also I already started him but I am sure you will be happy with how he comes out.
05 Jan, 2017, 4:55 pm
Finished! :D
05 Jan, 2017, 5:06 pm
Re: Oh dear. I'm not quite sure what you're talking about, but it doesn't seem good by how bad you make it sound. :/ I hope you can fix it!
05 Jan, 2017, 6:36 pm
Re: sorry for not replying last night I was working in some stuff and then when to bed early.
thank you for the apology but I'm still not exactly sure what it for, you have never offended me by anything you have said, or done. I fine you as a very nice person. ^-^ a little shy but nothing wrong with that, I was very shy when I was younger and still am to some degree. im sure you are still young and and are growing, and it took a lot of courage to make that comments, ^-^
But you have done nothing wrong to me so don't fret about it ok. :3
05 Jan, 2017, 11:49 pm
Re: Haha glad ya like him! You don't owe me anything but I still appreciate it ^-^
06 Jan, 2017, 12:03 am
Re: Yeah go ahead! Just no fur on tail, that is part of his mutations x3
06 Jan, 2017, 12:11 am
Re: Okay, change what ya need, I'd rather you happy with him then not :3
06 Jan, 2017, 12:59 am
Re: Thank you! x)
06 Jan, 2017, 1:04 am
Re// I am someone anal about details, but I'll give you a pass, because I didn't even notice when I first saw. You can also enter two more times if you really want to ^w^ it's all up to you.
06 Jan, 2017, 2:35 am
Re: oh, I see now, and I'm guessing you have heard that not to long ago I had someone who was constantly asking for one of my species and she even got other to ask for her, at one time I was thinking about making her one but it was almost a daily thing over months time, she would ask and then post pics to Guilt Trip me and others, and then she took my concept and made her own species which really hurt me but I was to much of a coward to say anything about it, and I was going through a lot at the time I was still going though the lose of my Grandpa and one of my friend who was killed 3 days after by a hit and run, I ended up getting really sick and lost about 20 pounds and was on the verge of becoming anorexic do to all the stress, I did finally talk to her about something that she did not deserve one of mine species at the time because of her behavior but she needed to be an encouragement to others and not just a sad story because other people go though life struggles as well, after that she started to be more positive.
Thank you for your apology and your consideration but know
You have done nothing wrong to me, you where just being honest and you had no idea of my past experience, and you understandable when I told you the first time that they were for my RP friends ( for the moment at least I would still like to do some adoptions) I actually had about 4 people unfollow me because I was given them to my friends, so I'm glad you did not become I would like to be your friend, if you like that to. :)
Your a very understanding and talented person and it took a lot of courage to tell me your feeling.
