How my April Fools joke turned on me xD
3 years ago
Every year I play an April Fools' joke on Herpy - Reptile Lovers' Community and it's always been great fun. We've done everything from selling the site to Bad Dragon to being sponsored by RAID Shadow Legends to changing into a futa fan community for gamers. This year my joke would spin full circle and come back to bite me in the ass in a rather funny way. I had decided to change the community from a reptile and dragon focus to a sergal focus. In order to do that, I of course had to pioneer the change with getting a sergal of my own.
But I was not gonna spend cash on an April Fools' joke. So instead I went around looking for a female sergal with the same colour theme as my main character Val, and lo and behold I found this 3 year old image by
vulpec and it was just perfect for my purposes. Of course, a lot of my friends on Discord instantly saw the iconic silhouette of a sergal on my profile pic and came inquiring, since I have never uttered a single word of interest towards getting a sergal character for myself. So I just played along with the joke.
"Oh this is my new form, I have a sergal now, hahah!"
... no one questioned it.
No one.
Not a single person.
Instead I got A LOT of praise for it.
Everyone loved the design.
In fact, I got an overwhelmingly positive response.
So instead of fooling some peeps, I'm now - legitimately - looking for a good artist to make a sergal sona.
You win this round! xD
But yeah, if you know any good sergal artists, especially ones who can "sergalify" a dragon, please let me know.

FA+

I've seen quick a few backfired pranks get repaired, and I feel like this one can be repaired as well.
Say you'll only get a Spergal sona if at least 100 other people get one as well and see how many actually go along with it.
Honestly if you wanted to really make some cringe, emphasize the female prehensile hood of them serg-sergs; Stay Merp my frens lol.
Also what about artist heni for sergals?
