Creating Your Plotweaver
5 years ago
Hello!
I made this journal as a sort of guide to help people with ordering/commissioning a Plotweaver design!
Plotweavers are a closed species made by myself, and I am happy to work with you to commission a design of one so you can have your own!
I'll be breaking down what to know when ordering a Plotweaver design!
T.O.S.
They can be ordered via multiple ref sheet options:
A Fullbody Front Reference ($85)- comes with a front view, filigree markings, palette, and character/owner name (optional!)
Reference Sheet Example
A Simple Reference ($170)- comes with a fullbody front and back, a headshot/outfit (choice between the two), filigree markings, palette, and character/owner name (optional!)
Reference Sheet Example
A Deluxe Reference ($240)- comes with comes with a fullbody front and back, two headshots, three outfits on a chibi model, three accessories, likes/dislikes, filigree markings, palette, and character/owner name (optional!)
Adopt Example of the general idea
What to ask for when ordering a Plotweaver design!
General color ideas! You can give me a moodboard, palettes to work with, or color descriptions! I can work with inspiration from characters (sailor moon, tokyo mew mew, etc.), but I will never directly pull all of the look from any character of any franchise!
Body type! I'm flexible on body types, and Plotweavers do not adhere to any rules regarding that. If you would like one that's slender, full figured, muscular, pear shaped, or anything else just let me know! Plotweavers can be any gender as well!
Hairstyles! I love to hear ideas that you have for hairstyles. If you have a particular look or vibe you're going for I can work with that, or I can pick one for you!
Filigree! Do you have a particular theme or color idea for the filigree? I'd love to hear about it. I can make the filigree in most shapes, colors, and textures. It tends to be the most complex part of their design!
What about traits?
This is a big one, so I'm going to sort of section itself off from what to ask for because gosh I love being flexible with what Plotweavers look like.
Originally I was going to have a rareness chart for Plotweavers, but I didn't find it very fun and enjoyable to manage. Still I decided to keep the old images from a year or two ago as a reference sheet for general ideas as to what you could order for a standard Plotweaver! I refer to the current Plotweaver as standard, because in the future I hope to expand upon their species and introduce different branches of them!
In general my art has grown since using this chart, and some of the traits (especially the ears and horns) will be drawn a little differently! Still I love using them for reference as I do love the concept and it provides a nice visual for people!
Here is the old trait list for a visual idea of what to see. Rarity is not a thing anymore ordering wise!
Ears: Plotweaver ears tend to be rabbit-like with feathered edges. They come in varying lengths and feathering edges, as well as a lop format. Full smooth ears are unlikely, but possible!
Horns: Plotweavers can have a variety of unicorn horns! Long, short, curved and angular. They can have ridges, be smooth, and have filigree patterning on their horns! In some cases Plotweaver horns are made of a different material altogether and can be crystalline, metallic, or a precious mineral. A plotweaver is not born with a broken horn. If a Plotweaver damages or shatters their horn they will struggle to create magic. Their magic is prone to failing as their horn is where the magic reaches its focusing point.
Eyes: The most common Plotweaver eyes carry a single tone, but they may be seen with iridescent eyes in up to four tones.
Fur: Plotweaver fur is commonly seen in pastel hues. They may also have warm earthy tones, as well as gray and black fur hues. For Plotweaver colors they are not seen with bright clashing neon hues.
Filigree: Plotweaver filigree comes in varying patterns. The patterns are delicate and are thematic in nature such as curling blossoms, stars, tree branches, and so on. They can be seen in gold, silver, iridescent, or made of other mineral materials.
Tail: Their tails come in a common rabbit style, a round and fluffy style, and a unicorn style tail. There have been standard Plotweavers that simply do not have a tail.
Hooves: They can sport cloven or rounded hooves, as well as rabbit feet. Some Plotweavers have hooves made entirely out of gemstones, or another mineral.
Storybook Stripe: When Plotweavers achieve a storybook ending they've been trying to help someone achieve, they are gifted a "Storybook Stripe" by the goddess. Plotweavers with multiple stripes are considered more trustworthy with the fates of others, and are likely more experienced. A storybook stripe appears as added filigree along the body of a Plotweaver, and is often a quote from the tale they helped someone achieve.
Legacy Gem: Should a Plotweaver achieve a truly legendary story, they may receive a legacy gem. Legacy gems mark a truly talented Plotweaver. They come in a variety of colors, textures, and shapes! Plotweavers that have legacy gems are considered the most trustworthy or reliable, and are often preferred or desired when someone is looking for guidance.
