Description Ta-daaaahhhh, yes, it's Shwish.

It's the drawing I'll be using for her reff sheet. Buuut, since I have no idea when that will be finished, and as I need a reff,this will have to suffice for now.

My one problemo, is that I have absolutely no idea what her species are. There are two 'branches' if you will, a smaller, lighter flying group, and a earth-bound group. Shwish obviously belonging to that group. And I have names for neither, so suggestions would welcome, yes, very welcome indeed.

Now for all the mandatory info:

Shwish's age is approximately equivalent to late teens. No one in her pack really keeps track of age.
While her race are known for their energy and curiosity, Shwish takes it to a whole new level. She is incredibly energetic, finding it almost impossible to say still for any amount of time, and, with her exceptionally short attention span, this makes her pretty hopeless at hunting whether by herself or in a group, although, being unusually speedy, even for one of her kind, she could potentially become a great asset. So far though, the only use she has found for her speed, is using it to escape enraged pack members or other creatures where her curiosity or boredom got the better of her. She is generally cheerful, but gets bored very easily, which often leads her into trouble. She also lacks tact, and knowledge of the concept 'personal space'.

Shwish's greatest desire, is to be able to fly. She see's it as a freedom beyond anything she has ever known. However, as result, she is incredibly jealous of anything with flight. This incredible jealousy leading to an intolerance for creatures with flight.


And that's all I feel like typing. Sorry if it's a bit muddled, I'm quite distracted right now, and on top of that, busy trying to sort out university forms etc. It's been like 1.5 hours since I started writing this, but I don't thing that even 30 minutes of the time was spent actually writing, more like sorting out other things.

psst- does she have.. finger-like toes? Just to not draw something wrong at your contest prize x'D

Errr, thats how I made her at first as I wanted her to be able to manipulate things. But over time I've just thought about it as kind of slightly longer paws mostly. Β Over all, I've never really decided and people have drawn so many different things that I don't really mind

Gotta say, even with a lot going on, i'm loving working on this character for the contest. She's so fun to draw. Though I do have a few questions. About how wide is her beak? also what kind of environment does she live in? More of a rocky area or a forest? :'3 I might run into more questions later, but i think i will be able to manage once I know those 2 things. :'3

Amadoodles In reply to Moonlitfox [2013-03-25 16:22:06 +0000 UTC]

I'm so excited to hear that! Thank you!
She's about the size of a irish wolfhound, and her beak would be ablout as wide as a dogs snout, if that makes any sense.
I don't really mind what environemnt she gets drawn in, but if I had to pick one I'd say its the bushveld
I hope that helped, I'm really excited to see what you come up with

such a cool character *w* but two questions..
How does she run.. (I see a bit of greyhound in her so does she perhaps run like one?)
and what is her size?

Amadoodles In reply to Black1993Storm [2013-03-21 09:09:09 +0000 UTC]

Thanks so much! This reffsheet is horribly old, and I've gotten a bit better at anatomy since then
And yes, her body is meant to be based loosely off a greyhound, so she would run like one.
Hers a bit of an animation I did of her running [link] if that helps

Shes about the size of a large dog, lets say an irish wolfhound

RusCSI [2012-11-30 10:51:33 +0000 UTC]

What a lovely design (:
May I ask, can her species be called 'dragon-like' or is she of an unique species that has nothing to do with dragons?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Amadoodles In reply to RusCSI [2012-11-30 18:28:01 +0000 UTC]

haha well thats a difficult question. I originally meant for her to be a dragon OC of mine, but then she sort of transformed a bit away from the generic dragon design, got based of sort of greyhound like bodies (not that you can see it in the reff) and and possibly acquired a beak >_> So yeah, no idea what is going on there XD

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

RusCSI In reply to Amadoodles [2012-11-30 19:23:45 +0000 UTC]

I see xD Well, I ask because a work with her is awaiting the group decision (the group accepts only dragon related stuff).

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Amadoodles In reply to RusCSI [2012-11-30 19:31:01 +0000 UTC]

I was wondering if it had to do with that. I generally consider her a dragon, just because so many things seem to fall under dragon, and her original design was very stereotypical dragon like.

RusCSI In reply to Amadoodles [2012-12-01 08:32:16 +0000 UTC]

Thank you for the reply ^^ I saw that she looked like a dragon, but I needed to be sure as there were times when what we considered dragons weren't dragons at all.

she's such a cool character!!! she looks like a mix between a kestrel and a jackal (intended as a good thing - may I therefore suggest the names Jaquerel for the land based and Avecan for the winged versions???)

Yaay! You finally completed her reff, I was wondering when that would happen XD

I tots see what you did tharrr >.> with ze colours I love it!

Poor Swhish though, she is like the energizer bunny, but nobody can cope with that. Does she have familly or sibblings?
How does she end up meeting Morula?
And I'll bet one day she'll be able to fly, not with wings growing out of her, (thats just tacky and overused) but with the help of somebody. NEVER FEAR!
She is just so adorable though. I wanna cuddle her ^^

Amadoodles In reply to Keberyna [2011-01-24 11:43:23 +0000 UTC]

Welll, more like on of the pictures that will be on the reff >_>

Anndd all thanks to yooooooo!

Yep, the energizer bunny is a good description XD She has parents, and probably has around two siblings. Her species isn't very 'this is my child and that is yours' orientated though. Everyone looks after everyone elses offspring, so the way they view it, she has around 10 siblings.
And as for meeting Morula I haven't quite worked out the exact details yet It's a mystery.
Yes, she'll be flapping giant palm tree leaves, instead of tacky overused spontaneously growing wings.
D'aaawww, probably cuz you're unused to anything without giant evil grins, sharp claws, and even bigger sharper teeth XD

More like extreme jealousy coupled with awe. She wouldn't actually seriously harm one, as she respects them too much but she might snap at them, or chase them, depending what mood she's in. She's a bit temperamental >.>
