So apparently I forgot to Upload this journal to FA... Like the goldfish for brains I am.

So seeing as I'm going to be down a little bit; I'm thinking of possibly getting a head start on looking for Cruxis Guest Adoptable Artist. I had been planning for an event like this for quite some time but was holding off to keep a balance on my work load. Seeing as I won't be able to do customs like I planned this seemed to be the best time to open the Guest artist search.


My plan is Eight Artist, two for each of the Four main species,
1. Implups:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/26465746/

2. Slynix:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/18294391/

3. Lapnin:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/26523260/

4. Babbel:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/26760308/


slots:
1.) BABBEL SPECIAL SLOT
2.) TheShatteredRuby on DA Lapnin Slot


- Profits would be split 80/20 (You being the 80 and me being the 20.)
- Each artist would be also given one Super rare MYO ticket for themselves and one Rare ticket for a Friend. (These cannot be resold or traded. Only gifted to another.)
- Starting bids/price must be at least at 800 points or 8USD.
- You have two weeks to finish. Tell me immediately if something came up so I can give the slot to others.
- Digital artists only. (bases are allowed)

If you are an accepted artist, I will provide you all the information you need in order to make proper Cruxis Species Adopts.
All Adopts and MYOs are needed to be approved by before submitting here or on DA.

Name:
Which Species are you interested in?:
How many you'd make: [Maximum of 4 Adopts]
Time it will take:
Adopt/Art samples you're proud of:

And answer the following as well:


1. How would you react if Azoth the Implup dropped a Wax Bat on your head?

2. Martel's looking for a good Joke, Got one for him?

So today I woke up to find my tablet charging cord had finally given out. It was an ongoing issue that I thought I had handled over the last few weeks but apparently not. So my new charger is thankfully on overnight shipping cause, classes and all that I need it for. I should be back up and running art in two or so days now. I'm really sorry for the added wait time.

This will push back my plans though of what I will be posting and I apologize for that.

Species Guides Here:
Implups: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/26465746/
Slynix: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/18294391/
Lapnin: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/26523260/
Babbel: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/26760308/
Slynix New! and Legendary Traits are not on the Guide yet, They can be found on this Set here: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/26639718/

Banned Traits:
You cannot buy these traits:
*Legendary Lapnin Budding Bodies*

So first things first, I was asked a few times about Paid MYO Slots.

MYO slots will probably be opened next week. It will be two slots per Closed Species, First come first served maybe once a Month.

Upside: These MYO will open all year round, the same User cannot buy a slot twice in a row, and Rarities will not be limited as Harshly. This is were legendary traits are allowed

Downside: They will cost a bit more opposed to MYO events which will be unlimited slots and traits will be limited.

---

Now onto Customs:

I would be delighted to do them but It'll be opened in Batch Custom slots only. I will be post a Custom Batch sheet Info and there people can go to buy a custom Adopt.

Upside: Customs will often be on a special custom only base and quick to make.

Downside: I will only open these on a species by Species Basis. So you can't get a custom Slynix on a Lapnin Batch.

---

Finally, Bacon + Implup = Good Idea?

I'm thinking of doing a bunch of these themed adopt sets like breakfast and glass with my species, I thought it would be a fun break from the standard rarities and they would all be classified as simply Rare Themed members of the species. They would have traits not normally seen for the most part and they would be funny little fellows to play with. Does it sound like a good idea or would it be a big mistake to make?


Any feedback would be greatly appreciated as I'm still getting back into everything properly and want to know where things can be improved.

So as this is my second to last semester of Uni, I'm starting to open Commissions full time. I won't have all the types open all the time but I got my prices down and examples now in order on the commission widget. There will also be sales every now and again.

Commission Examples and TOS:
http://www.furaffinity.net/commissi.....alamanderspat/

If commissioning me please send your Form onto this journal. I actually lose notes extremely easily and if it's here I can keep them in somewhat of an order. The slots on there just mean how many of the same commission type I'll take at a time. So I won't take two full refs in a week because those are extremely time consuming and I don't want to lag far behind because of them.

Important Notes: If you are commissioning me to draw an adopt you have bought from me the price is reduced 25%.

Slots:

1. Full Ref for Slylup Adopt (Waiting for Final Approval)
2.

Testers Found and Noted! Thank you so much!
+1 Rare trait to you all!

And in other News... My university was apparently on fire again and that's why I just ran down 15 flights of stairs today. Second time in 48 hours something has caught fire in that freaking building... I'm done.

So these are my goals for the week:

---

1. Completely revamp the Lapnin species: https://sta.sh/012pxddqal5s

A. Finish new species guide for them and rewrite the lore to proper convey their new title as Carriers of Worlds. Include redesign of old Lapnin adopts.

B. If time is had after the revamp include Slynix ref and Slylup ref revamp.

C. Correct contractor information and properly include them among the group.


2. Host a Free MYO Event for next week. Need to pick the species but will probably not be Implups.

3. Build guide to make Deathkins a Open species. Therefor free to make your own finally.

4. Redraw old unsold slylups and Implups for sale at a reduced price.

So shout out to my little cousin

She's my best cousin and she just made an account so everyone send her some love! OAOb she's a pretty talented artist herself too!

It crashed during an update and now won't open the only files I needed to open today... So no more finished Charmies, The base is gone too, I can't open the sketch page's final copy either... and my two back ups for my sticker Chibis were affected as well... Like FML, This was on top of yesterday's issues with our Water Heater breaking down and flooding a portion of the basement.

Anyone know the best place to find cute things to aww at for a few hours?

This is the new info on the greatest hunter in all of the Cruxis mythos. These beings are ancient constructs that seem solely to exist in order to kill. I've been thinking about a hunter species for the ecosystem but only recently created the basic designs. The final three of my next adopt set will be these guys. I wanted to hold the info back until I released them but I was really excited to show them off in a way.
______________________________________________

Official Species Name:
These are the names they themselves recognize to mean them as the collective. The first gems name holds unknown meaning. The second Gen and Third Gen's name basically means Lawful Collector but is born from the differences in their spoken knowledge and time of creation. It is easy to identify what Gen model one is dealing with based on name alone. When in doubt about what gen you are dealing with They do go by a modern name as well.

As a Whole: Enforcers

First Gen: Halvirian Dysuis
Second Gen: Nothygais
Third Gen: Calthygais


Titles they are called:
The Hungry Ones
The Wicked Ones
The Cage Birds

Lore:
Magic constructs from the times of lore. Made back when mages wanted Cruxis Power and needed it in vast quantities. These flying cage beast live to hunt and collect prey. Most have basic Anima and can think freely for themselves. They cannot reproduce and the method to creating the original models is lost to history. While early models where extremely successful, later models found that the power needed for themselves was more then what they gathered. This was caused by a change in creators. The first models where made by a mechanical Genius known only as Almamata. These models where designed to run on a second power source of unknown origins. It is believed the cause in the second generations output lose was due to Almamata sudden early death and the execution of their students.

Many if not all the constructs fell into ruin and ceased to function about 9000 years ago.

An unknown surge in loose energy has caused the recent return of these strange constructs. However now lacking a master and no need for excessive hunting has caused many of them to be repurposed officially into policing tools. Most still have their hunting instincts intact and will capture and grab anything they can keep for themselves.

Most of the first generation holds a great deal of pride and ego. They will not serve any unworthy masters and will hunt freely.
All first Generation Models have preset personalities even when reset and a strong desire to act solo. They know a lot of technical ideology. First generations have been known to repair themselves or even build the rarely seen Third Generation. They seem to know a lot about their second energy source and some seeming unusual functions only they have, yet all attempts to know leads to the deaths of all those who inquire.

Second Generation Models do not have any preset personalities when restarted. they cannot care for themselves and grow very attached to their masters. Some will even kill a master to keep them forever. They cannot recognize the differences between dead and alive in human or non Cruxis beings as they are not equips to read that information. They are often kept in pairs to avoid over attachment issues. They will often act like children and will hoard things like food to play with. They like to mimic actions they see. Most need to enter a sleep mode once a day in order to function at max ability.

Third Generations are elusive and rarely seen. Some of the oldest First Generations are capable of making them. They are often half the size of regular generations. Some people consider them to be children of First generations but it seems more like they are experiments the First Generation are making in order to understand themselves. They run on a wind up energy source and act like small birds.

These beings are best not to be messed with and should be treated with great caution. Even an innocent Second Generation can and will unwittingly kill everything around it by playing with its surroundings. Newly awakened ones will always attack anything nearby in a bid for energy. Best to have a energy source of some form with one in case they are hungry.

Hello, I'm sorry for the extreme Delay in talking or being online at all. During the last few weeks I had a few different family related issues arise, My brother had a minor reaction to some pain medicine that needed help and a dear uncle of mine, well great uncle passed away rather suddenly. He had health problems due to Agent Orange in the past but was on the mend when a over night at the hospital caused him to catch MRSA.

He was only 63 years old and was my Grandmother's older brother. My Dad and I have been down with her for the past two weeks helping out with things and attending the funeral that was held last Friday. I honestly had felt too depressed and feared I was going to be spilling out my life troubles at everyone given that more then that happened this last month.

I finally felt functual earlier today and was able to go out and do something that didn't include Swapping Uncle stories with my dad and Grandpa.

For everyone counting on me these last few weeks I am sorry for being gone and will set to work on being more active again. I just couldn't bare coming on and pretending to be okay or happy. I also had retell the whole funeral out to my brother who got barred from going due to how overly emotional he got upon the news. Our Uncle was an awesome man who we would spend summers with as my Grandmother's family is tight knit. Actually my whole family is tight knit and even relatives not related to him in anyway where there with us so it's been stressful and hard to handle things lately.

Sorry for the lateness everyone, I actually forgot to post up the journal and got swamped with my animation finals homework. I got most of that out of the way when I realized what today's date was. //I'm incredibly sorry for not posting this on Saturday like I planned.


The MYO is for Slynix and Implups, bases you own or have rights to use are allowed.

The MYO Slynix and Implups Rules:
Only Common and up to 2 Uncommon traits allowed
Or
If the person post a journal linking back to the official post, and their favorite sets of adopts by both me and I'll allow them to instead do Common, uncommon and 1 RARE trait.

The Journal Must be done and Posted up Before you submit the Finished MYO as I might miss it if Not commented with it First.

Implup Guide:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/18003503/

Slynix Guide: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/18294391/

THE CODE WORD IS: CRANBERRIES

DUE TO MY LATENESS GETTING THIS POSTED, EVERYONE HAS A WEEK FROM TODAY TO MAKE THEIR MYO.

Once done, I'll ask for a link to see it, if it passes and obeys the rules I'll add a watermarked(my mark next to your design Copy into a Sta.sh file Master list)

ANY MYO NOT ON THAT LIST ARE NOT OFFICIAL.

The designs must be in color; fullbody or Chibi allowed.

Watchers of mine from before the event will be allowed One Rare trait on me or one One SUPER RARE (Instead of rare if they make a journal) trait, cause you all are awesome and put up with me.

If you watch me after that's great! I think I will do MYO every 3 to 4 months if this all goes over okay.

I don't imagine there will be a ton of entries given how small I am still but if there is more then ten, I'll do an Chibi gift event (Randomly selected via Random.org) and draw two of them as cheebs.

I'm thinking of hosting the first MYO event free for 24 hours only (Standard) this Saturday. I figured seeing as I will not have a MYO base prepared and that this was the first time I would allow it for free and see how it goes.

I will be taking it very seriously though and will stick to my rules. //I'm such a push over but I can't let this happen now.//

It would be for Slynix and Implups, bases you own or have rights to use are allowed.

The MYO Slynix and Implups Rules:
Only Common and up to 2 Uncommon traits allowed
Or
If the person post a journal linking back to the official post, and their favorite sets of adopts by both me and I'll allow them to instead do Common, uncommon and 1 RARE trait.

Implup Guide:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/18003503/

Slynix Guide: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/18294391/

I WILL PUT IN A CODE WORD IN WHICH YOU WILL NEED TO INCLUDE SOMEWHERE IN THE DRAWING WHEN I MAKE THE OFFICIAL POST.
The moment I post, the MYO starts but you must comment for your time to begin. You get 24 Hours from the time you comment to enter and the MYO comment period will last for 24 Hours as Well. I think we all know how to milk that system out don't we?
Once done, I'll ask for a link to see it, if it passes and obeys the rules I'll add a watermarked(my mark next to your design Copy into a Sta.sh file Master list)
ANY MYO NOT ON THAT LIST ARE NOT OFFICIAL.
The designs must be in color; fullbody or Chibi allowed.

Watchers of mine from before the event will be allowed One Rare trait on me or one One SUPER RARE (Instead of rare if they make a journal) trait, cause you all are awesome and put up with me. //My last taken down journal probably shocked or worried you all too and I don't want to make you all worry//

If you watch me after that's great! I think I will do MYO every 3 to 4 months if this all goes over okay.

I don't imagine there will be a ton of entries given how small I am still but if there is more then ten, I'll do an Chibi gift event (Randomly selected via Random.org) and draw two of them as cheebs.

Anyone think that sounds like a good idea for the first MYO event? I've been trying to figure out and have watched people host a few to work out what might be the best method to go about it.

Have I ever said I'm not good at hiding stuff?
Cause I'm not...
And I keep on telling myself to wait till December to show everyone butt It's Implup and Slynix sibling related Third species.... and I just can't...

I've been hiding them for over a month now and was starting to put info all together today to show them off next week or so...

Sorry for the super sketch drawings ahead, I've actually forbid myself from drawing them in order not to make one to post sooner...

They are called Lapnin and are like Godzilla sized with liquid tails and Tail legs due to the fact that they are ungodly heavy. They also are healing and believed to be immortal... sadly Lapnin's hate humans for good reasons.

http://sta.sh/012pxddqal5s

They sort of came to be because, I wanted to know where did cruxis come from in my world, how is Azoth 300 years old, why is gold in mountains around slynix and how come some places and worlds might or might not have the same species... also I need to figure out where the heck octobutt babies lived. OTL

_________________________________________________

If anyone came here for some other form of secrets about me, Then here's one to satisfy you:

I have legit almost hit a cookie factory driving once. Cause I forgot how to park for a moment. Same day as I almost hit my grandparents car because I forgot how to park and reverse there too... and ever since I have never driven a car again.

I'm thinking about taking a few custom slots for off or on Base Slynix Customs tonight.

I'm not sure how to price them yet though. And might do a OTA custom slot and a regular slot because I'm still practicing everything out. I'd have to let people know that the Slynix come in all sorts of styles and allow them to choose, and Really want to do mini refs like what I did for Bane maybe on these if Off base.

I mostly want to make a few of them with the new rarities and chart complete now but at the same time, sort of have too many ideas. Like I have too many potential Slynix Designs in my head and I want to step away from them because I'm getting really attached to them all at the moment.

I'll be allowing all rarities to be requested except the split tail. Due to the fact that I still need to finalize slylups. //Every time I draw one out it looks like a different species from the last at the moment.//


These would be my first customs too so I'm a bit nervous as to how I'm going to go about it. I mean, YCH's I did pay after the sketch, I'm thinking I'll do the same for the customs? Is that a good policy? To pay after the Adopt custom is approved?

So my teacher was doing meetings and I had my stuff done already today. So I let my mind wander and this lot was the result:

http://sta.sh/214a53dtedj0

The page of 8 was what I did first and then I looked them over and liked some enough too make them species.

The Slynix and Octobutts are the ones I like most, right behind them is The Headless unicorns and Conja (conjoined Nagas).

Thinking about turning the 8 sketches I did into free adopts for watchers while I work out stuff about the species I want to keep. Like I'll clean, scan and color them and whoever wants them can claim them. Though not all of them will be closed species. I probably have that happen Friday after I finish the last two Deathkin refs. //I'm so close now!

I know for a fact that Slynix belong to the same world that Implups do. Octobutts might be another story I get the feeling they got some own little place to themselves.

Slynix are not magically powerful but can talk, they have no legs, but do have main wing arms and sub arm. They also sometimes have jewels on their neck fluffs.

Octobutts are baby karkens and paint eye shapes onto the round carapace parts. They want to be scary but fail to fool anyone unless they catch people swimming early or late in the day.

Well, I was talking to an art teacher who recommend this site after we discussed future plans in the upcoming year. I create so much that it seemed weird to charge for every piece of artwork, so I'm doing this as a monthly support.

_______________________________

One Supporter will be receiving 50% off adopts for life, one Ref Sheet custom per month and More!
All supports will get sneak peaks at adopts, raffles, Freebie Gift chances and more.
They will get access to images, wips, Custom opportunities that I might not offer here.

- I will do two monthly Giveaway Adopts (ie. Posted on the first of the month and on the Last day I raffle them away to Patreon supporters only). The current set of give away adopts are a surprise Magically turned Egg pair of Implup! This will be the only time I will have scheduled Raffle Adopts that will continually happen.

Once a Month I will be doing a Free Claim.
A Patron Supporter (Of any level) will get to claim an unsold Adopt I made that is over a month old for free every month. This will be a random event.

So if any of this sounds interesting; please check me out there. I'm already posting up some of the reward opportunities I've planned and a few things are shown to the public so far.

https://www.patreon.com/SalamanderSpat


Due note: for those who I am already doing freebies for, don't worry, you're still my current priority and I will still do freebies here for those special people who I love.

Me:"Dad! I left my tablet pen at work I need it for my classes. It's On my work desk, Most likely next to my Mouse."
Dad:"I'll call in, what does it look like?"
Me:*explains it down to the exact dimensions.*
Dad:"They says it's not there... I need to go in anyways so I'll ask again."
Me:F***! *sends Picture so he can send it to the guys looking* "Looks like this, if it's not there I'll need a new one delivered next day for Class... that's $130 I don't have!"
Dad:*Two hours Later* "I went in to work, That dumb ass checked below your desk, not on it... We're safe."

_______________________________

That was my life a few hours ago... The dumb ass mentioned is my boss... My dad is my boss's Big Boss's right hand man in charge of the warehouse stuff... So my dad is pretty important and takes no shit from anyone including me... He also gets now that I cannot possibly go without my tablet as it has everything for my collage work. Including the big presentation due tomorrow that would have screwed me ten times over if I couldn't show it.

I nearly had a heart attack from being told it wasn't there.... If anyone's wondering I use this Tablet:

http://www.wacom.com/en-dk/products.....mpanion-hybrid

If the price shows up in Euros for you it's about 1033.73 USD in today's market and just under two years old. It's a super great tablet and I love it when I'm working! though I might want to save up for it's younger sibling version for when I graduate and need a new tablet with better memory and storage.

And It' really works well with the Pro pen here:
https://www.wacom.com/en-us/store/pens/grip-pen

But I use the version that comes with the attachments I need to work so that pen jumps in price plus Over night shipping would have been 130 USD... I'm so glad it didn't come to that. I'm also really glad my dad gets my work and why it's important... he used to be all "Can it wait?" with my work.

In other news, What sort of tablets do other people use? Or if not tablets I'm open to hearing about scanner/printers, I got one that 5 years old and Looking to get a bigger one for more profession printing works. //Cause printing digitally on nice paper can get expensive I print most of my good works in house for when I'm going to cons, school, or working on Maid cafe stuff.

I had some epic dreams last night about a kid who killed all with a touch in some medieval setting. He hated it and was searching for some cure. ;-; I wish I could remember how it ended but I needed to create a back story and world for that child... So I present the Deathkins and Nullifiers.

Sorry the info is a bit disorganized at the moment, I just needed to write everything down and figure it all out in my head still but I would love to make these babies. Would anyone be interested in them? If so Write a little Blurb about the type of character or personality your Ideal Deathkin or neutralizer has (Sorry none of the more interesting types are available yet). I'll pick one of the Blurbs to do a freebie Custom or maybe even two while I plan this out more. As freebies they are a gift and should not be resold later for any money value, though I am fine with future trading.

DeathKins-

Deathkins were originally Human Children born with an incredibly rare illness. The bodies began to rot from the inside out. In fear of losing them, the parents of these poor souls made a deal with the being known only as the Queen of Kin to spare their lives.

The Queen is an enigmatic magical being who can seemingly grant any wish or desire. Though she does have a preference for good old "True love conquers all" sort of spell clauses. She also seems to be a strong believer in "Every Conquest brings Destruction" as well. Most refer to them as a sort of Goddess and claim she's really the harbinger of ruin and calamity also known as the Almighty End. Others believe the Queen is only a Disguise for the Pure One, Creator of magic and is in fact truly the King/Ruler (In a genderless sense) of the OtherRelm and Twin Sibling of the End. In either case they are a powerful being.

The Queen granted that wish but at a terrible price. The children became walking death. Their bodies began to produce a poisonous fog around them. The fog is not why they where named Deathkin however as it is only slightly sickening to be around. The real danger is the child themselves. The very body and blood of the Kin is brimming with poisonous energy and forbidden magic. If one is not a Deathkin themselves or has the rare neutralizer gift they will die with the slightest touch.

The Queen laid out a few simple rules on how to break the Deathkin Curse.

1. When a kin and a Human neutralizer fall in love, true love born only in absolute care and devotion for each other can the Curse ever be broken.

2. The Human and the kin must search high and low for the four greatest poisons in the world. Delphine, Mythine, Wiltsin, and Falzine.

3. Once gathered they must prepare the poisons into a meal of their choice. Then they must eat the meal together.

4. If one of them fails to eat the meal then both shall die. But if they come together to find they shall live by the Grace of the Kin Queen.

THIS IS THE OATH OF DEATH

By finishing it the lovers are reborn as Poison Testers, beings who can together create or cure illness. They are often considered miracle workers and lesser Gods at this point as Poison Testers travel the worlds over to protect and save lives from that which feeds or grows Dark magical energy.

Kin seek a perfect partner forever more now to share in it and gain love. For them this ritual has become a romantic quest while most others look at it in terms of foolish Destruction. Most who have tried have fail to complete the last part. Those who do become Poison testers becoming more then human and tend to leave the human world behind at some point or another.

DeathKin are childlike normally and wish to seek out contact with other living things. Sadly due to their bodies that is impossible. They usually send their whole lives looking for someone to care and love.

One can tell a Deathkin by looks alone. They seem to have a fog hanging around them constantly. Physically speaking weaker Deathkins do not look all that off from normal humans. All Deathkins have oddly colored fingers and toes, have tinted lips stained with the color of their poison, and are prone to have heavy bags under the eyes. They tend to shape the fog around them into fake wings or other sorts of forms.

Powerful Deathkins seemed to have gained extra magical power and become closer in appearance to monstrous beings though this is mostly just a magical disguise created from the fog as well. Though sometimes the fog condenses enough that it can become and produce small monsters or familiars.

Some do grow wings on occasion, though this is rare and usually only found in Deathkins who have never taken a life.

Neutralizers-
A rare type of human who is immune system to a deathkin's touch. They don't usually look all that different from human except for a Glowing ring of energy around a part of their bodies that seems to make poisons and magics dissipate slightly. They also can gain the same oddly colored fingers of a Deathkin if they spent time around poisons.

If a Neutralizers heart is wicked they tend to have creaks in their rings and cause the poisons of a Deathkin to become even deadlier. The very Fog becomes a blanket of death if that was to happen. These wicked hearts are less likely to complete the Oath too.


Once they establish the pact of Death with a Deathkin they too can use the poison magic freely by becoming a Poison Tester. This has an added benefit of making that Deathkin safe to touch. To put it simply once the pact is made the two can control the poison fog together ending the Deathkin curse and saving lives from said type of poison and plagues.

Poison Testers-
Pairs of Nullifiers and Deathkin who completed the Pact of Death. They are granted Immortality and greater magic. They often both grow anywhere from 2 to 12 real wings with the fog like most coming from the wings and sometimes gain orbs of Condensed Poison or Curative energy floating around them instead of the fog. The rings of a Neutralizer seems to double and the Deathkin also becomes adorn with a matching Ring.

Plagues-
Deathkin or Neutralizers who fail the Oath. They become sickly bringers of calamity twisted into a more demon like form. They are spiteful and enraged. Endlessly hunting down for the reborn soul of the one who failed to complete the oath... And killing everyone who stands in their way.

They tend to grow wing stubs or no wings at all. They are also invisible to human eyes or take the appearances of small children. In order to directly interact with the world a plagues soul seeks out a person (again usually a small child) who has died and inhabits their body. Their fingers and toes are black and they tend to have spotted bruises up and down the body along with intricate markings. While in the host body a plague cannot talk or else the poison in them becomes a wave of Vile fog. They prefer to play games with the mortals beneath them and like to prolong the suffering as punishment to all who allowed them to suffer such a fate.

*I didn't want to use actual poisons as that might be a bit too much so let's consider the four great Poisons above to be representations of that which goes wrong in relationships: Disrespect, Jealousy, Mistrust ,and Faithlessness.

* Some worlds and countries do use Deathkins as weapons of war while others treat them like abominations to be slaughtered. A DeathKin enlisted for war is conditioned to show more skin and move quickly in order to be a better weapon. They often fill jobs as assassins or are sent out in small groups to crush armies. Those who are not war trained like to cover up their skin and are far more skittish around others.

* Deathkins can fall in love with their own kind and the same goes for Neutralizers. However they can never break the curse or stop the poison they produce if they choose each other over the chance to be freed by the Oath.

I was recently given a Code to Toyhouse.

http://toyhou.se/SalamanderLynn

I'd love to follow people and have created a World for Implup so they can be kept track of if they are on there.

So I have a quick question, do people mind if I post NSFW stuff on this account? I notice a lot of other artist keep that to other accounts so I wondered if there was a reason for that. I don't draw it that often and I put warnings on even slightly sexual things cause I'm paranoid as heck about a family member who is much younger then me who sometimes finds my art online. //She knows my style really well sadly but thankfully doesn't know about this site.

Also, For the record, This is going to become a Notice about Art trades and Gifts I do.

If at anytime someone wants to Art Trade, just note me! I love drawing characters and I try to make it my policy to finish gifts or trades same day or at least he day after. I will post a watermarked version of it upon completion. I will only give out the full sized image when the other half is complete.

As for Gifts, Comment on this journal with refs, every now and again I'll look through, respond, and draw some art. It's entirely based on how I like the character, my schedule, and mood. Gift art will be done in whatever form is pleasing to me. I do like some info to read on the character's personality and such but I would prefer not to have a pose lined out for me or request for a certain type of style. I get stressed easily if I feel I can't do a request justice and the less complex the request is, the less stress I'm under. I will keep this journal up for Being sent refs all the time, so Don't be shy if in a few months you see this and want to still throw something my way.

Do Note:
I LOVE CRAZY COOL CHARACTERS.
And If I ask to do A fan art/Gift that means I plan on doing it. I'm very shy sometimes so getting refs thrown at me works too. XD
I have a hard time with muzzles so if you don't mind those being flat every now and again that's cool too. (I usually try to keep it as close to how the character actually looks though.)

AHHH! You guys are awesome and I am saving the refs of characters I wanna draw! For the first four who commented below, look out cause I plan to do one of your awesome babies a day!

This is a New Species Info of creature I’ve been thinking about for a while. I started sketching them out on Monday and just now finished the body design style I like. I’m calling them Implups. Would people be interested in them as an Adopt Species?

I will have an example sheet of them up in a few hours including a size comparison to Hat Hoppers.

Implups

A strange little species of imp like fellows who love praise. They will do anything for a thank you and good job, Even more for gifts and prizes. They tend to settle down in homes and do household chores everyday. Cooking, Cleaning, Child Care, and any other tasks are all done with a smile and a chirp. But watch out! Forget to praise and thank Implups results in them using their magic to make you absolutely miserable. Lost a shoe? Underwear suddenly hanging from the roof? Your Shampoo dyed your hair pink? These spooky looking critters are truly playful at best and loving companions. They are only dangerous when really pushed and abused. Beware their sweet chirping voices and mystical gaze or you’ll wish you had time to say “Sorry” before they get you.

Body Shape:

Implups have long whip like tails that start off fuzzy at the base. It is at the fuzzy Base Point that Implups sprout wings. These clawed wings can hold onto things, climb, or are used to grip and keep an Implup in place while they sleep. Implups mostly cannot fly nor glide*. They tend to climb and cling to walls or ceilings and prefer places with many open levels to jump and cling in groups.

Implups have three eyes on their face. It is believed the third eye is capable of viewing souls and is needed for casting magic. Other theorize that they can see the future. Most agree that when an Implup opens its third eye at something that means there is more than meets the eye to the subject of their gaze.

They also have two horns on their heads. The left horn and the right horn grow at different rates but it’s believed and studies show that the larger the right horn is the better the implup has been treated and raised. These implups are devoted to their masters and kind hearted. While the left horned Implups are cruel and won’t hesitate to use their powers to hurt those around them. Another interesting note is that horns can shrink or grow even larger over time. Left Horned Implups are more prone to lashing out and attach others beyond their masters.

Implup Culture & Cruxis:

Implups wear corsets to hide their open lower build rib cage. This ribcage keeps a glowing flame called Cruxis that is the source of their life and magical power. Implups only open their Ribcage to share Cruxis in order to reproduce. They usually decorate or design the corsets in ways to show off their own personal likes and hide the light of their cruxis. For them a corset being forced open is like a having one’s privates photographed and can be a source of much shame… and eventual hatred from them. It is the greatest way to enrage a Implup.

Implups like to live in cities or villages with lots of people. As they can go around from home to home and work while being close to others of their species to communicate with. They have no spoken language and actually french kiss to communicate. They have long snake like tongues that are over three feet long. This kissing language has not been successfully translated to any other form and asking them to learn a spoken language is a huge mistake due to their Cruxis. It might be communicated by the movements of the tongue or by them snaking the tongue through the throat to reach the cruxis to speak in a soul to soul way. Nobody can say for sure which version is accurate.

If an Implup looks as if it is about to speak it is best to run away. Their voices are capable of causing things to explode and catch fire around them. This is due to the cruxis beginning to vibrate inside their rib cage and those vibrations being released in harmony with their soft and sweet sounding voices that cause the explosions. During this time their Cruxis begins to act like a burning fire eating through the corset and starts to eat away at the body. If left screaming for too long they can die when the Cruxis consumes the entire body.. Left Horned Implups are prone to scream loudly when even slightly provoked while right Horns are far less likely to ever show this behavior.

Implups are social creatures and need companionship of some sorts. Even if it’s just huddling with another creature Implups need some sort of contact. They usually join together late at night to sleep in massive Implup Huddles on top of roof support beams… They have also been a cause of support beam collapses in some places due to the number of Implups in there Huddles.

Mating and Child Implups:

Implups are physically genderless and only need their Cruxis to reproduce. Mating comes once every two or so months and falls on a full moon. Mating is preformed by huddling close together and holding each other hip bones with their wing hands as they kiss. The Cruxis begin to flicker and move between them. If lucky a third flame will spark and the parents bundle it tightly in a dark place and remain together until a child is formed.

The child Implups have tiny even horns, stumpy tails with minimal fluff, starts of wings, a closed third eye and no corset. The child is small and covered in what appears to be a Cruxis Repellent down fluff that starts around their neck and continues down to their legs. That fluff allows them to spend the first years of life living inside the space in a parent’s corset. They lose the fluff as they age and grown into adults. They obtain a corset their young adult years of life when they become ready to leave their parents rib cage for extended periods of time. It is at this point that their down fluff falls out and the third eye can open or shut completely.


Strange Rare Mutations:

Blind eyes- The Third eye is either missing, permanently closed, or lacks an irias. These Implups are unable to cast magic and are more likely to stumble or fumble around spaces. They are also more likely to use their Voice when provoked first without any warnings.

Odd Horns- Implups that are either missing horns or have too many horns on their head. Horn growth can be erratic and the usual left right horn rule does not apply.

Flickers- Implups with very small Cruxis. They are weaker in magic but have large wing builds and shorter stumpy tails when fully grown. They have short life spans but are desired due to the fact that their offspring can sometimes fly like them.
*Flickers and their direct offspring can fly.

Flashers- Unlike every other Implup out there Flashers Like showing off their Cruxis. Look out because they tend to wear skimpy or revealing nightgowns instead of Corsets.

SR Defiled-These Implups have past the point of no return... Using up so much of the Cruxis inside their ribcage caused them to go insane. Their bodies changed and their horns become stained with the blood of those they killed. Defiled are not like Normal Implups. Angering one does not lead to a harmless prank later. Defiled like to hurt others. and will go out of their way to harm even their own kind. Defiled are marked by Black Sclera, Unnatural Skin Pigmentation, and Broken wings or only a singular wing. They had lost almost all of their own Eye Magic and Refuel themselves by offering up their victims souls to an Unknown God...


SR EverBurns- Poor poor dear, not long for this world. Born with Too Much Cruxis Fire inside that unlike other Implups, it cannot hide. The fires always burn consuming everything around it including the poor Implup who was born with it. That might be why the Everburns keeps a relatively fluffier Fire repellent tail then other Implups. But it might also be why Everburns are considered to Be trapped in child like bodies, even more so given that unlike every other Implup known Everburns will never grow the Iconic Tail Wings. EverBurns are marked by an out of control cruxis bursting out of them, Odd shaped horns (that follow regular horn rules), A fluffy Longer tail, No Wings, and are always producing strange colored tears.






Rare Eye Powers:

Basalisk- These Implups keep their Third eye closed most of the time. When opened they can freeze people in their tracks. Some say the see visions of horrible events while trapped.

Illusionist- These Implups eyes can make whoever locks gaze with them see and hear things around them that are not really there. The effects can last for a few hours after the gaze.

Warpers- These Implups can make things teleport or even summon up oddities when they stare at the focus of their attention too long.

Things to keep away from Implups:

- Mirrors their eye powers can effect them too and lord knows what could happen if they caught sight of themselves.
- Coffee Like Hat Hoppers Implups will get sick.
- Lighters…
- Ashes and urns… Or else they will be squeaky clean when you get home...

IMPLUPS ARE A CLOSED SPECIES!

Hat Hoppers

Hat Hoppers suddenly appear out of hats. Once a Hopper has claimed a new hat good luck getting it back. These little critters love hats and hoard any they can get. The only thing better than hats is other folks to show hats off. Hat Hoppers are social creatures that love people, befriending them means gaining a life long pet and friend. If a hat hopper really loves it’s friends It might let them wear its hat or ride on their heads.
But caring for them isn’t so simple. Given that they like to sneak along and worm their way into apartments and homes long before anyone notices it might be hard to care for a sudden freeloading companion. If you find yourself wanting to own one You need to know a few simple things first.

Body Type:
Hat hoppers have six limbs. The front most paws act as fully functional hands. They can stand on two legs and walk around but it’s bothersome for them and they like standing on the back four or all six. They are about 8 to 10 inches tall (on hind legs) normally. Hat Hoppers can grow over weight and need to be taken for walks or at least played with. Both genders have fluffy manes around their neck. This is called Baby Fluff and they may or may not lose it once they grow up. Owners can also shave it given that the fluffy mane does require daily brushing.

Hat Hoppers have very sensitive ears and can hear things one hundred times better then Humans. They have evolved as such due to their ears constantly being covered or pushed into strange angles to wear their hats. Do Not under any circumstances leave them alone in a room with items that make loud consistent noise.


Hats:
Hat Hoppers claim to be born from Hats and spend their whole lives attached to one hat. Usually this hat becomes their pride and they live to make it match every aspect of their life. Be careful about this behavior though! They might start trying to make everyone around them match with their hat and style. They do not show or give the original hat to anyone unless they are very close. Not even Mates take or touch each others hats without permission.


Family Life:
Hat Hoppers mate for life and together design hats for future Hatlings. The offspring spend a few days with the parents before taking their hats and setting out. The offspring ride in hats or pockets of larger species traveling far away to new homes. There are annoying cases of Hatlings never leaving and of Parents home being over crowded. Hatlings are very clingy. Once they go off they become very close to whoever gives them a home. Unless they become strays, in which case then they will be very much guarded and jumpy.
Some Hat Hoppers Perfer to move as family units and these rare cases become known as Bonded. Parents in bonded families will welcome and willingly keep their children very close, leading to incredibly spoiled hatlings.

Social Needs:
Hat Hoppers do better in groups or family settings even if it’s with members of other species. They are very vocal about their need for companionship… and have learned stealing other’s articles of clothing is effective for attention. They tend to like cuddling so prepare to share bed space or have a place set up for them in advance.
Hat Hoppers should have a designated friend or partner to spend time with in order to keep themselves occupied. Even just giving them something to play with can keep them happy.
They tend to get lost or need to be picked out of shoes or other items they might get stuck in. If you don't want a Hat Hopper in something the best choice is to buy baby safe locks and keep electrical sockets covers.

THINGS THAT HAT HOPPERS SHOULD NOT HAVE:
Unless you want to watch them cause a lot of trouble...
- Coffee- Do not let your hat Hopper drink coffee, They will become very sick.
- Scissors- Do you really want to ask?
- Lighters- Again... I dare you to ask why...
- Gummi based Candy- hard to digest, if wishing to share a little bit it must be cut up.
- Access to your Facebook accounts...
- Socks- Unless your okay with wearing mix matched socks for the rest of your life.
- Clocks- Hat Hoppers will break them due to the noise.
- Tvs- If you wish to leave your hat hopper alone at home keep the TV off as any repetitive noises, even commercials can upset them.
- Microwaves- Hat Hoppers can crawl inside of them... and a few are not nice to others.
- Bath Tubs- When washing or caring for your Hat hopper it is best to use a Sink.
- Q Tips.... They use them as swords...
- Cleaning supplies- Hat Hoppers tend to dump out liquid cleaners in order to play and carry the bottles around.
- Open Air Vents- Hat Hoppers tend to like exploring new dark places in homes...
- Fans- Like clocks... only worse because even ceiling fans are not safe from these guys...
- Fridges- Hat hoppers should not have a way to open the fridge themselves... Or else they might accidentally get stuck inside.
- Plastic Bags- REALLY BAD IDEA!


Types of Odd Hat Hoppers:
Maxis: Hat Hoppers who grow up to 2 to 3 feet tall. These Large fellows are semi common and have longer middle limbs then front limbs.

Minis: Hat Hoppers who grow to 4 to 6 inches. They tend to have all short limbs.

Fluff Less: Hat Hoppers who are missing either their Baby Neck Fluff or their Tail Fluff.

Braid Tails: Tails shaped like a braid. Highly unusual and needs extra combing and grooming.

Glitters: Glitters are an anomaly among Hat Hoppers. They are antisocial and dislike being around others. They have black eyes and have a rare trait for have a long tongue like appendage that seems to break out of the body in either the front or back midsection normally. The rarest form of the Glitters famed slimy, glowing, and brightly colored tongue is one to two tongues that appear out of front hands.

Strays: Hat Hoppers who where abandoned at Birth. They are not blessed with a hand made hat from their parents and as such use garbage or other odd things in a hat's place. They are wild and unsocial and tend to have unkempt fur. They need extra attention and should not be kept surrounded by other hat hoppers without proper introduction and their full trust.

Bonded- Whole families of Hat Hoppers who move and stay together for life. They all usually match in hat schemes. They don't mind living between two owners but hate to be broken up. Bondings tend to be consistent of Parents and one to three kids. One being the most common version of a bonding given that it's their only child and three being the rarest due to space issues.
