NEW SERIES IDEA, BUT I NEED YOUR HELP! CLOSED, SEE EDIT!

9 years ago General

Artists I have the pleasure of currently working with.  Go check them all out and give them a watch!

After my last journal, I've gone ahead and decided to start a new series for your viewing pleasure.  And thanks to the one suggesting it, I know it's general theme.  Let me take you all on a short ride, shall I?



"After working his ass to the bone and not taking a vacation on his own, Josie has more or less kicked him out of his own club and forced him to go take care of himself.  So, after a day or so of milling around, Skylor thinks of a short list of things he hasn't done in a long time.  Things he misses doing.  And the only thing on that very short list that he really wanted to do was go camping.  Life off the land a bit for a few days.



After packing his belongings and kissing his dear sister goodbye, he heads off to his favorite place at the foot of a nearby mountain, deep in the woods.  After setting up camp and relaxing for a few hours, he hears a rustle in the woods.  No time to get up and see what it was, though, as he's attacked by some of the local wildlife!"



That's a general brief for the idea, but it all boils down to Skylor out in the wooded areas of North America, and having a series of North American native species visiting him for some fun.  This series will be sketched only, cause I really like the idea of it being on the "rougher" side, drive point the roughing it nature of camping.  Sounds like a fun idea with a few moments for humor mixed in (Particularly the end, which I already have thought up), but I still have a problem...



I love so many of the species native to the wooded places in the US, Canada, and some of Mexico, that I can't decide which I would want featured!  That's where you guys come in!



What species would YOU like to see in this new series?



I'm planning on this series being about ten pages.  An intro page with Skylor saying his goodbyes, one of him relaxing at his set up camp, and the planned on at the end.  Everything else in the middle will feature a different female creature from the area.



So, I need seven species, but there are some rules to follow.





1.  You can suggest/vote on as many species as you would like, but please don't get carried away and list out the encyclopedia of NA species or something.

2.  Please list each species in a separate comment.  Newly added rule in a logical place, cause I'm a dummy that didn't think about it. *laughs*

3.  All species MUST be North American natives.  No Salt Water Crocodiles, Tigers, etc..  Perhaps another series sometime later.

4.  If you would like to suggest a species, but it's already been suggested, just reply to the original comment.  That'll be our voting system.

5.  If you ARE a member of one of those species, feel free to drop a ref if you'd like to be included.  I may ask you to cover the "Add a character" price, depending on the overall price of the piece.

6.  If there are multiple refs offered for a single species, I'll host a tie breaker sort of thing in a journal, again allowing the watchers to decide.

7.  All characters must be female this time around.  Might do one later for the femboys out there.

8.  No insects or spiders.  Sorry, but I'm trying to keep this mammals, reptiles/amphibians, and avians for now.

9.  Lastly, all species should be wild animals.  Nothing against domestics or anything (I am one, for the most part), but I'd like this to be a "Welcome to Nature" sort of thing.



That's it!  I'll leave this going for a week or two, so as long as the journal doesn't say "Closed", it's still open for voting or suggestions!

What would a visit involving the ladies of North America be without at least a little bit of Cougar Hunting, eh?

If this one makes it, she'd HAVE to be an older lady too.

I'm voting for Moose.

Because a long time ago, before Camp Feral! I went camping with some other furs in Algonquin park. We canoed from Butte to Queer Lake (their real names). At one point we passed a moose, which was half submerged and 50' away, and it was still bigger than all of us in the Canoe.

"Don't get any closer, it might charge" was sound advice! We didn't, and it didn't, but I did not want to find out exactly how fast a moose could more through water.
