Dear Nevrean fans,
Thank you very much for your patience. The penultimate guide to Nevrean anatomy is finally available!
Because the original file is simply too large to post on FA, this is a reduced-size version. You can get the original size version on Mick's Patreon public entry, for free.
As with many other Vilous-related contents, Nevreans also have been updated, improved, and have evolved over time regarding both lore and anatomy. This new reference reflects several minor but noticeable updates.
This is the same as what male Nevreans originally had at first. However, it was once changed to allow three fingers and one thumb to have consistency with the hand structure of female Nevreans. Many official materials began depicting male Nevreans with the three-finger convention.
However, Mick — the lead design creator — had noticed it was really not what He was originally intending for their anatomical design. Due to this, the male hand and finger layout has been reverted back into their original design in this new reference, in order to give the hands a more anatomically plausible wing-like appearance. This makes this the latest and current anatomy version for Nevreans.
As a note: the previous male Nevrean materials with the older hand and finger anatomy design are still available as an older "legacy" version in the Vilous official wiki. If you have a Nevrean character of your own and prefer the "legacy" version style, feel free to remain with the classic style! This change does NOT make your favored style or existing artwork obsolete!
Previous iterations of Nevrean lore showed that they had very little differences as children regardless of gender. Both females and males had gray feathers covering their entire bodies, and had long wings that granted them the ability of limited flight. When they matured and became adults, males got colorful feathers, while the females would have more muted colors and would lose their wings.
However, in the latest version of the lore, the gender differences in children have become a bit more pronounced. They both still begin life with the grayish feathers as young children, but gradually the colors of their feathers shift from gray to their final adult coloration as they grow and mature. The anatomy shape of their feet also helps to distinguish their gender. Like before, Nevrean children of both genders have wings capable of limited flight, but females lose them gradually as they transition into adulthood.
The previous lore had indicated that Nevreans get partial white feathers during their elderly years, similar to how humans often get white hair as they age. However, after careful observation of real birds, Mick has noticed this is really not found in nature as real-life birds age, and thus wasn’t very applicable for a bird-based species.
Because of this, in the latest version of lore and design, elder Nevreans now show their age by developing some rough-looking pin feathers, rather than “going gray” with white feathers.
To avoid confusion, we'd like to make this as clear as possible: these design changes were made under the personal direction of Mick himself. Mick decided to implement these changes in order to be more true and pure to his core inspiration and goals for the design of the species in his universe.
If you have questions and opinions about these changes, please take them to Mick directly. He appreciates and welcomes any feedback related to his creation.
You can reach out to Mick via his personal Twitter
Finally: while earlier we called this the "penultimate" version, we are also preparing the actual ultimate "Deluxe" high-resolution version of the Nevrean anatomy guide, similar to what was offered for Sergals. It will be accompanied with full descriptions that explain the anatomical information on Nevreans, and will also include the adult or "NSFW" anatomy.
We hope you enjoy it. Thank you so much!

1. Male Nevreans now have two fingers and one thumb

2. How Nevrean children grow
Previous iterations of Nevrean lore showed that they had very little differences as children regardless of gender. Both females and males had gray feathers covering their entire bodies, and had long wings that granted them the ability of limited flight. When they matured and became adults, males got colorful feathers, while the females would have more muted colors and would lose their wings.

The anatomy shape of their feet also helps to distinguish their gender.

3. Rough pin feathers for aged Nevreans instead of white feathers
The previous lore had indicated that Nevreans get partial white feathers during their elderly years, similar to how humans often get white hair as they age. However, after careful observation of real birds, Mick has noticed this is really not found in nature as real-life birds age, and thus wasn’t very applicable for a bird-based species.

I can't speak for Mick, but I would guess it's to add some more real-life bird anatomy into the mix. Agudners have this too, with them having different horn styles borrowed from various different real-life mammals. They can also have different animal-style tails. So I'm thinking Mick wanted to add some chicken and turkey features just because she thought it would be fun and cool to have a bit more variety to Nevreans.
If you prefer not to have a character with wattles, that's totally cool. And who knows, some may find them awkward and have them removed as a form of cosmetic surgery. The concepts and connotations this could have for the world's lore is interesting!

I'm so happy to see this finally get released! Way to go Mick for pushing through it all and giving us this gift! It's so cool to see it all come together and give artists a lovely reference to go off of.
I also want to echo the part about the updates/changes: to everyone reading this, if you prefer the older/legacy style of anatomy, it is TOTALLY okay for you to stick with it! It does NOT make your character inferior or obsolete! So keep your art and your EVERYTHING the way that you already have it, and love it ANY WAY YOU WANT!!

oh my gosh! this is so amazing~ love how all the details and seeing how cool the designs can be so unique! the hairstyles are so cool too, my favorite is to see images of them flying, my first time seeing in a flying pose ^w^ i don't think i ever seen them fly, haven't bin around as much lately but recently came back, so if there was other art showing them fly then i probably missed it >//< either way, this is an amazing reference mick!~ <3
