Raskeva creation guidelines
16 years ago
Okay, so I'll do this in more detail some time, with diagrams and such.
Original Description is here, make sure you read this first!! - http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1806431/
In short:
- Raskeva are demons from Eastern Europe. (Yes, plural is Raskeva and not Raskevas)
- They feed on medium to small creatures. They especially love children, but often are forced to hide in ally ways munching on stray dogs and other animals.
- They will not touch anything already dead, including cooked meat, roadkill etc. They need to eat living prey (and yes, they eat it while it's still alive) in order to stay alive themselves.
- They sometimes can take the form of a human, some perfectly, some not. They cannot speak in human form at all. They can recognise others of their species in human form, too.
- The primary reason for human form is to lure children. Indeed.
- Raskeva need to eat about once a week. Any less than that, and they start to deterioate. This may result in losing limbs, which may just drop off.
- They are what lives in the shadows, basically.
Biology and Behaviour
- Raskeva resemble some strange reptilian-mammal hybrid, which can walk either like a cross between a raptor and a human, on all fours, or even like a reptile. They are rather flexible.
- They are able to see in the dark, but their vision becomes blurred in daylight, and bright light temporarily blinds them.
- They are incapable of speech, but are very intelligent, communicating with ultrasonic and audable hisses, growls and throaty calls. They also rely on facial expression, but not so much body language because of the dark conditions they live in.
- They are not at all sexual beings. They possess no sexual organs, or gender. I am not sure about how they therefore exist, I'll work it out.
- Hierachy is decided through violence. Raskeva often aim to remove each others limbs, and eat each other as signs of dominance.
- Anything they eat becomes pure energy, even waste products. This energy is mostly used in their constant fighting, but also hunting, if need be.
- They have two sets of teeth. The first are on the 'skull' part of the head. If a Raskeva opens its mouth, you would then see a second set of dark red, needle-like teeth on the inside.
- The tongue is split in two quite high up (not like a reptile).
- Their saliva is acidic.
- Their skin is mostly scaly, and on top of this grows a soft down. This is more close to feathers than fur.
- Being demons, they are not like physical beings in terms of biology. Having their skull exposed on their face does not restrict their breathing at all.
- It is unknown whether or not the creatures feel pain. Some violently injured Raskeva actually seem to enjoy having limbs torn off.
- Their skulls are usually rather long and thin, with canid-type teeth.
- Their blood is dark red
Rough guidelines for making your own
Primary reference - http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1806431/
Though your character may end up like this a lot - http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1901517/
Accurate headshape for a standard Raskeva - http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2588683/
Colours - Your Raskeva can have whatever colours you want it to. Usually they have two main colours, and a pattern colour over those.
Eyes - Any eye colour, any pupil type. Pupil is coloured, white of eye is black.
Teeth - Can resemble any mammal. Please try and keep the head shape the same, though.
Tail - Can be scaled or furred. More/less fur is fine, too.
Limbs - As Raskeva can regenerate limbs after eating prey, your character can be drawn limbless/normal, whenever you like. Sometimes Raskeva are unable to regenerate limbs, and therefore become prey to others of their species.
Skulls - The skin and down on the face of the Raskeva can be full, half, or not at all covering the face. If the skin moves past over the eye, the eyes are usually 'dead' looking, and the Raskeva becomes blind.
WOW that was tl;dr, but yes.
If you would actually like me to draw you a Raskeva for your own use (on your own guidelines) or draw your character as one, I might consider opening for cheap commissions in a month or so. (After my hiatus)
