Okay, so you might be asking yourselves: "Trish, why are you posting this?" Weeeelllll I'll tell you. I've been seeing a lot of people creating species of animal characters because they're trying to be 'omgwtfbbqunique'. Here's my take on it. ANYONE CAN CREATE A SPECIES OF CHARACTER...yes, even you, and you and of course YOU. The ONLY limit is your own imagination. It's That Simple. See the above example. **notes to you, this is not serious, it's all very tongue in cheek, but I've seen a lot of instances where this is allll 100% true. PPS, its only about species creation, not character creation, that's a totally different rant.**
First you need some critters. Dragons, Bunnies, Dogs, Birds, Cats, whatever you want, just grab two of them and smush them together. That will make your key species.
In the example I have taken a dragon and a bunny. I have made a Drunny.
Second, you need an adjective to best describe your new species. Do they twinkle? Are they fluffy? Do they have a particular attitude? These are all things to consider when making your species, as you need everyone in that species to portray the same sort of adjective.
In the example I have chosen Sparkle, as the adjective. So every Drunny that is created from this moment forward will be a Sparkle Drunny.
Thirdly, you need some awesome traits. SO, what makes this guy fantastic? Is it his size? His useful attributes like fluffy arms and legs? Is it his awesome tail or adorable wings? NEWP. It's his ability to sparkle like the sun. NOW you have to think of some fantastic talents for your new little monster. My Drunny is a water Drunny, which means he can swim very, very far distances without coming up for oxygen. With this ability as well, one might think that he can survive in space for long periods of time without the need for breathing...and you would be correct. See, the made up species doesn't have to hold to the laws of physics. It can be whatever you want. Which means that without gills he can survive underwater and since he's got huge lungs for such a little guy, he can live in space. Never mind the vacuum for now, like I said, they can defy nature.
Fourthly: Now that you have a ridiculous name and great characteristics, it's time to apply some color schemes and give them stupid meanings.
I've chosen the following colors because they signify purity of the heart, while the orange is boldness of spirit and the black is his hidden dark side. But you may choose any colors you want, just make sure you can make them as complicated as possible.
Fifthly: Now that we've done that, we have to give him plenty of extra crap he'd never need in real life. Spines on his tail, horns, jewelry, a marking that looks like a belt but is actually some sort of complicated magical marking to tell people he's special. THEN we add some stripes and random spots, and boom, he's complete. We finish it off by adding plenty of sparkles. This is key, because without them he's just a regular old Drunny, and how fun are they?
Sixthly: After you've created your new species, you have to show him off. So you post it to FA with some notes indicating that he's magic and don't forget to add a grotesque water mark to claim your species and a copyright notice.
I've taken the unusual step of adding a size comparison chart wherein I display Cougari and said Magical Sparkledrunny who I will now be calling Craig.
OH, it's important to give your sparkle creature a name that's normal like Josh or Marcus or Donald. Something to let everyone know that he's a completely normal freak of nature. You could also go the total opposite direction and give them a name that means something special to you, like "Mr. Fluffy Bottom" but in German or Lebanese or something. The power is all yours, since you're the God of this creation.
Last but not least, You have to limit the release of these guys. You wouldn't want them running amok and having people take ownership over something you spent 10 minutes creating while watching paint dry, would you? You put a lot of hard work into this, so make sure you limit the release to a few people you talk to online and no one else. If you didn't put restrictions on their release anyway, there would be a panic if someone else's Drunny became more popular than your own.
So there you have it. That's how you create a Species of Critter and release him to the world. I did this because I've seen a lot of this, "I created it so it's mine" kind of things where people slap together a bunch of generic looking things and call them unique. I had a bad day today and I just had to get it out. Long live originality. Long live imagination. I hope that all of you go out and make your own Drunny... Just remember...
Its copyright to me. LOL!
(end rant)
Sparkledrunnies can be made by anyone if they want to make one. Make sure you show me. I'd love to see everyone's take on it. Craig needs friends.
This post is to show how ridiculous some people on this site are. I hope people don't think I'm being a massive jerk, but all I want to say is "HAVE FUN WITH YOUR ART". Share it with people and don't take yourselves too seriously. You end up coming off like a massive a-hole and your creation ends up looking like a Pokemon.

Oh god, I love you for creating this.
I'm really getting downright annoyed at all the people throwing animals in a blender with a few random splashes of color and calling it "original" and asking everyone to worship them for it.
My fursona may be a sparkle-tard, but at least I acknowledge it. xD

Yeah, it's hard not to make peace with sparkle-critters, at least the less obnoxious ones.. because they're so fun to look at. c: lol
I still get a bit annoyed by the double-rainbow-OMG-so-unique types with all the ridiculous sparkle-accessories and whatnot.. because they hurt my eyes. D:
And yeah, the weird thing about all the new species is that they were originally intended to be "super-original", but now they're just so common they're ridiculously tired. There's a few really nice original species that stand out, like... cruxes and sergals, I suppose, but the rest are really just a dime a dozen. And at least with cruxes and sergals, the original creators of the species allow anyone to make a character of that species instead of being all like "OMGMINEDONOTSTEAL".
I much prefer seeing sparkly real animals (or mutants... I guess that's sort of a necessary disclaimer, my fursona happens to be mutant. xD) to all these new eyeraping species-collisions. :/ lol

Oooo.... Oooo... Oooo.... Can I adopt one?
I satire.
I have no clue why some people try to copyright a mix of two animals and the cause drama when they discover someone else is using the same combination. I mean, no one would ever think up a combination of a cat and a bunny... hmmm... maybe I should copyright that... >.>

I think my eyes are going to explode over how overwhelming this sparkly character is @n@
I also like it when people pick a really obscure animal JUST to be unique, I knew someone who was making a character and picked some extinct species no one had heard of. He actually went searching for an animal no one knew of. I've actually had people who make these character scoff in my face for having a dog character...I like dogs...not mthyical sparkly rainbow coatis that would make a driver crash his car |:

Totally. I love cougari because she's got a muted pallet of colors. She doesn't have any fantastic magic other than being a toon and isn't over the top in any particular way. (other than tooniness) I can't get with people who think they're special because their character is an 8 tailed mongoose with wings and Husky markings.
Congratulations, you have just won a substantial number of INTERNETS! Please send over 9000 dollars to 64512 Westgunther Strasse, Frankfurt, Germany to claim your prize! Letter must be postdated by July 4, 2011.
BTW I miss your streams! Hope life's going good and all!

If I'm being honest, I think I'm the one being a troll in this, but I'm not counting. I created a made up creature called Malarky for Cougari. Malarky started out as satire himself. I was pointing out all of the "popufur" traits at the time and compiled them into one awesome creature. Now he's Cougari's imaginary friend. I didn't make a whole species out of him though.
*bows to ur awesomeness*
i know what u mean...i see all these pics that people do, with "original" characters, and u can adopt them, but u have to give copyright to the artist...i'd rather mix a couple animals together or put wings on a toaster or something n call it my own hehe

AH! I hadn't even thought about the 'adoptables' section. Don't get me started there. That's another whole deal I kinda can't stand. I'm going to make a template, color it 1325254234 ways and charge 5$ a pop for you to have it, name it and give it a backstory and then make you give the © to me after you PAID ME FOR THE CHARACTER. That's so ridiculous sounding. I hear you hon, Toaster Fox reign supreme!
I don't understand what's so horrible about muted earthy colors that 'look' natural while not being exactly natural. I mean, I think the key to Bugs Bunny being a winning character is that he's grey. Oppositely, Lola is pinkish tan without being eyerapingly brilliant colors. Winning designs and winning colors are what make up memorable characters, not this dribble I've posted here.
Oh man, I really could've used this guide 20 years ago when I invented my first character! I mean, for one thing, he's only one color! What the heck was I thinking!? (True, the color is cyan, but still...)
Craig really is kinda adorable, though! And, judging by the manner of his creation, quite possibly extremely full of himself! You should make his personality a parody of every self-important sparkle-whatsit Mary Sue overpowered overspecial teenage ego trip out there! ...And then kick him a lot! (For altitude and for distance!)

That's awesome. I have my own version how I create characters what are unique. I just never think what I draw. Or on the go thinking random things on. I draw eyes, nose and then thinking "crocodile tail, lizard legs, big big ears" and another pic is done. I also try to think weird shapes like zigzaggy tail or cubic tail etc. My motto is "every animal must have 1 slightly retardnesson it" lol.
But I like your character a lot :D I don't have problems with characters that exist as a mix of different things, your character is a key example. Its people that make the character as if to say ' any version of this combination is mine' and that nonsense. Your character is awesome btw :D
Swiftwind the Voltorb eagle. There you go. http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Voltorb_(Pokémon) Someday someone will do it. But it would have to be tragic anger somehow. Or anger that causes uncontrollable laughter among those nearby.
Squaaaaaawk! Swiftwind the Voltorb eagle would totally be an unstable feathery mass ready to explode at the slightest hint of anger. Heheh! Very cute species concept. Poor Swifty! He would be so volatile! Anything could potentially set him off!
Thanks for sharing the weblink with me!

I trump it.. I create a mix of all sorts of animals and put them into a race. Not just a Dragon + bunny.. but the race is any, none, and upto all combonations of any, none and upto all animals
for example, my first drawing of them back in 2003. Name taken from asking around a bit during highschool. :D

::guilty of this since 1998:: :< I made information about my creations species when it was asked for, and others had already created fan characters of my personal ones. x___x People like things and they want one for themselves, I'd rather give than hoard, but they're still based off my creations. Sharing creativity can be a good thing.. however making tons of really generic hybrid species (that sometimes appear to look like 5 others already created so much so that they all get mixed up) with the same bright markings that can come in any color and have no basis in any "world" whatsoever with no story to be told behind them and then encouraging others to make them.. does seem a bit strange, but at least it can get some people drawing and having fun? I dunno.
Done this. I took a predator and a prey specie and shmushed them together. I took a Lion, and a Pig. squeezed them together. Got a Pork Lion when I was done. What can he do? he can Roar like and Lion or Oink like a pig as needed or desired. has a Lion like Mane, and a medium sized kitty tail with a gentle curl to it. has a piggy snout. has piggy tusks. (you would not believe how much he spends on toothpaste and whiteners. ) Is a Ham Radio Operator. has tawny body fur. can smell when a certain part in a radio has burnt up and can tell you what part it is by smell. (resisters smell different than capacitors when they fry. ) so far, no one else has wanted to be a Pork lion. I am the only one.
