In time Volatikai will be completely open
10 years ago
General
I've made comment of this a few times and said so to a few people, but I don't think I made an actual journal about it.
My species has been steadily growing in popularity, and with that comes more and more stress. If it comes to hundreds of people interested in them, I just won't be able to keep up. It will be unneeded stress.
Right now they are closed because I still don't have all the info out for them. There's so much confusing info going on that of course people are making a bunch of mistakes. I don't have a clear guide to go off of yet and so much needs to be updated, it's nuts!
But when I DO get all of the info done and on the site, I plan to make them "completely open".
What does that mean?
That means you won't even have to get an approval from me. Of course you're still free to get my crit if you want, but it won't be required.
On the site the rules will just change to "heavy suggestions" to let people know what I feel is best.
The "fan made" page will be converted to "Volatikai that are correct" because I am guessing there will be a bunch of people who will fuck up the species even when it will be all clear out, because they feel they have the right to do whatever they want with them. >.> Truthfully you CAN, but if you change anatomy they will not be a Volatikai anymore and I'll have a negative view on you if you continue to call the character a Volatikai.
I also expect someone to take the concept of Volatikai and just twist it and make their own lore or stuff for them, even when there's already a backstory to them.
I expect a lot of negative things, honestly. But when something like a species becomes popular enough, you just can't control it anymore.
What I have been doing is slowly becoming okay with all of these thoughts, so I can just shrug it off when it happens. My main thing is I want people to know that /I/ am the creator of the species. I'll mainly just wanna focus on my own characters and their stories, and continue working on the species as a whole.
BUT ANYWAYS, yeah, this is what I plan to have happen.
-selfish moment-
You guys are lucky that I love my species so much that I wanna keep them growing. xD This is one thing I'll take some pride in, since I see SO many "adoptable" artists that have species that don't have much back story to them or the creators rarely ever draw out their own characters of that species. >3> It makes me sad, but it then also makes me feel "unique" in a way since fans of them can see them change and grow and see how they can be through my own characters. It makes me feel good to make others happy with my own creation. @3@
-selfish moment over-
There is no estimated time for when this will all happen, however. There is a LOT left to do and not enough time. They will still open on their mating seasons as well as hopefully the end of this month, BUT STILL HAVE TO FINISH SOME THINGS. BAH;
SO PLEASE DON'T THINK THEY ARE "COMPLETELY OPEN" /NOW/. This is just a heads up journal!
And lastly, a huge thank you to everyone who enjoys my species and has even made the characters they created a large part of their gallery. ;w; That makes me so damn happy you have no idea. AHHHH.

My humanoid anatomy is not great and it takes a long time to even do them in boring poses.
But I've decided to try and do them in ZBrush so maybe I'll have some pics of my males in wereform soon^^
