Not a single idea as to the answer but this is gorgeous as hell. <3

Is it because of the novel "Rose of the Prophet?" xD Just a random guess.
Anyway goshhh this is beautiful!! ;u;

A good guess! but sadly not correct ;v;; you get a congratulatory hug anyway though

Was fun trying anyway! ovo Hugsss

Eye color = Ib character roses? Idk that's all that comes to mind hahah uwu;;;

good try haha ;U; Enjoy this complimentary drank for participating

Aww, adorable! I enjoy how you draw legs...also this appears to be almost perfectly symmetrical, were you able to do that freehand with no special tool? ._ . Because woooow

I cheated on parts haha, I'M NOT THAT GOOD B') I am a fan of symmetry, no regretssss

all is fair in love and symmetry! >BU

Well could it be rose quarts above his head there? (I dunno XD)
He is super cute and I think you did an amazing job!

alas, it's not! But that was a good guess ;u;
I am actually pretty impressed at the tries so far, it is stuff I would never even think of haha

i have no idea for the name thing, but i just wanna say im so happy you're posting again T3T///

your lines are so great as always ghhh<3333

baw, let me hug your lil face

wow i just love how you did those eyes.

all the better to look at you unblinkingly with o v o.

Rosy for blushing?

also. prolly the lamest answer ever. T^T

nope, but I will send you a brain highfive across the miles for trying ;n;

lol

He's so precious, wow ;u;
..I'd like to go down the morbid side of things and try and guess it's something to do with blood/killing?

No, but I am giving you a brofist for going there, because that is a p baller guess. But there's no brofist icon so this will have to do:

Ahh shame! I've always been interested in characters who aren't what they seem~ I'd love to see someone guess right though ;u;

Me too, the answer requires some outside knowledge that I'm interested if anyone knows ¦'> It's accessible, but a bit obscure.

Is it because rosy finches? ;w ;

Nope, but I didn't know those were a thing until now, so that is actually a pretty damn good guess otherwise haha ;U; E-highfive for tryinggg

It was worth a try lol. Yay highfivess. ou o

Is it because of his hips?Like rose hips.

No, but that is the cutest answer so far oh man :(

Awe shucks :( I was really hoping I had got it. Hes super cute and I'll try my hardest to either win/snag one when you start making adopts of them <3

Is it because he likes roses? No one has guessed that. Probs not it, but. xD I had to!
Gorgeous design, btw!

Haha X'D It's not, but at least you rounded out the rose playing field now

Lol~ Yes!

Rosy just makes me think of delicious Rose Moscato, but hahah, I doubt thats what the name refers to.
Anyway, he's so cute! :C Your designs are always so wonderful.

It's not, but we can have some of that anyway B)

It's not it, but props for a good attempt ;u;

I will cry big fat tears on you if you do. Also i saw you mention you do plush or something along the line, do you have examples posted anywhere? ;n;

is it because of the "ro" or "prophet" ? . w.`

Nope, but that's an interesting guess! ;v; consolation hug prize.

aaa yay consolation hug u wu
this is so beautiful, and i'm really interested to see the reason behind the name (given your reply to the guess below)

Hrm, welp since his original name is 'Prophet', I wondered if perhaps he did something pivotal to gain that specific name/title in the first place, esp being part of a species that is typically sought out as oracles to begin with? and when I think of prophets, for some reason that made me think of maybe dying and rising from the dead? (given the sort of role these guys play, in obtaining souls of those who seek answers from them.. idk if dying and death is something they experience themselves? so idk if maybe it'd be weird/out of place, if one did sdfbgfg )

so Rise -> Rose -> Rosy? and lmfao I read into this way too much, excuse my rambling ... in any case, aughh he's really lovely!! The snippets you've been posting about this species so far are really interesting to read, I look forward to seeing more ^q^

You're actually getting into the correct territory of the answer! So while you didn't quite get it, you're the closest so far o V o! I enjoyed your brainramble, I am giving you a double highfive.

aaaaa wow I honestly didn't expect to even come close at all, haha. :> It'll be interesting to find out what the full reasoning is, in the end! and //highfiveesback

Does it have to do with the prophet Muhammad's physical appearance? XD
Lol, my guess is so left-field. xD

Not as left-field as you think! It wasn't right, but you're actually in the correct theme territory! Props

Wow, I feel kind of proud! :D Haha. <3

Cool, someone got it! Go brainpower of the masses! xD -throws confetti-

ahh I'm so happy you're posting again! I joined after you'd left and I'd stumble upon your gallery all of the time only to find it was inactive D;
your art is hella lovely so I'm glad you're back ;v;

gonna go the weeabo route and say maybe it has something to do with "Rose of Versailles" ?

I came back just in time to drive my followers crazy with name mindgames haha ;U;

Not the correct guess, but a good one because I love the manga style of that period

I want to be very lame and guess it's because of the color of his finger pads and foot pads? xD They look pretty rosy-ish to me?

Btw he is absolutely gorgeous. ;w;

¦'> sadly no, but adorable guess nonetheless

Is he a Rosicrucian..? >.> Like his design, regardless of if I have a clue about his name heh.

DINGDINGDING

Winner! Rosy is called Rosy because his face/neck coloring mimics the Rosicrucian (aka Rosy) Cross --> http://i.imgur.com/jXSb187.jpg !
Ucchusma was in the correct territory of oracular reasoning, since he is specifically based on the backing of the Thoth cards. Ilaya was in the correct territory of religious reasoning.


As winner, do you want to redeem your free Eolai offer? Or pass and offer it to someone else? Whichever, since I don't want to push characters on anybody if they were just playing for fun haha

Whoa neat! Didn't know the cross, just the organization.

Free Eolai meaning what exactly? I'm interested, but not up on my terminology apparently!

Eolai are the species that Rosy is :> Whoever guessed the correct origin of his name had the opportunity get a free custom one.
So if you'd like to cash in on that, you can let me know and note me any color preferences etc. If you're not a character collector, then you can pass and I'll offer the custom to someone else. So it's whatever floats your boat!

Well! The sample is adorable, but now I feel the need to think of some arcane symbol to use as a color reference heh. Can I get back to you in a bit?

sure thing! Take your time :>

Ok, going to go out for a bit and see if anything occurs to me. Thanks!

So, no earth-shattering revelations, but I did happen to start thinking in terms of the floating crystals the Eloai all seem to bear. I happen to have a piece of green tourmaline sitting on my desk, so perhaps base the colors on that? It has a brown gradient as well, so maybe colors in the range from iodine to emerald? And as the Eloai seem to have portentous monikers, maybe my incidental use of 'revelation' earlier could factor into the name :)

How's that, sufficient?

Can do! I'll note you the results once it's done :>

Thanks!

Congrats dude! :D

I never would have guessed this in my entire life! That's really neat! c:

I'm probably way off but I'm gonna guess it has something to do with the crystal thing above his head o3o

Nope ;v; but good try!

rosy for 'pleasant/soft', like the saying 'everything's rosy'?;

anyhow, what a *charming* design, good golly.. i really love the hips and the long lines you use for the style of tail is something i really missed. ♥ i've missed seeing your art here

nope ;v; correct answer was achieved a few comments up, for those interested.

I am here to get in all of your faces with my derps again

o-oh that's such a cool reason so nice *v* ♥ i love it
i hope we get to see more of your derps too! ♥♥

His name is Rosy, b/c he is Rosy >BT

/sitsbackandchill

Guh I really wish I even had an idea of why he would be named that, all I can think of is angels and messiahs haha, but welcome backk ! He's a huge cutie ;v;

*rubs with tummy!!!* ^-^

Was going to guess because of Rosary, dunno if that would have been sufficient lol
Anyway, these are awesome and I hope you make more! <3
