These mythical beasts grace the skies above, only seen by the most keen eye. Will you help us find and study these elusive creatures?" These are [b]randomly generated adopts[/b] featuring [b]different base colors, eye types, underbelly types, markings, and accessories[/b].[nextcol][color=transparent]~~~~~~[/color][/columns] ------ [left]Started this lil passion project a while back, mostly as a way to work on something cute and simple in my spare time. So far I've gotten a decent number of traits and accessories done. Lately I've been wondering if anyone might be interested in an actual thread/shop for them? I love working on them and would love for others to enjoy them too! Soo I guess I'm looking to gauge interest and collect feedback for a possible gatcha adopt thread with these lil guys haha. I'm especially interested in the latter—I think it'd be neat to get some outside input as I continue developing them! Here's a few more examples of the randomly generated adopts. Please note that art assets, lore, and other information may be subject to change as these are still in development.

I also have more planned. [*]Underbelly has two variations: a solid white, and one that's a lighter shade of the base color. [*]Markings currently only come in white. If there's enough demand for other colors I could potentially add more, but for now I prefer the simplicity :D [/LIST] Thank you for checking this out! Feel free to ask questions, give feedback, offer suggestions on what traits/features you'd like to see, or ask to be notified for updates, possible polls, or the first opening (if it happens). [size=2]Side note: if anyone with more experience running a gatcha adopt thread feels like lending their expertise, I would truly appreciate and any all advice! Should this turn into a real thing, I'll be sure to do my own research beforehand, but there may likely be some things I haven't even considered.[/size]
