More Hades River Beasts [Closed]

Post by DNS »

Yeah, I've been sketching and colouring these guys. Only phoenix and maybe a few others showed any real interest in the others [faultymemory atm], but yeah. :D i made some.

To get these-
Same deal as last time.
For each subspecies (i.e, each river. Phlegethon, Lethe, Acheron, etc), you have the ability to get up to two in this giveaway-- one by submitting a character to sponsor/bond them, and another chance through dragonswap. You can only get a maximum of one each way. If that's not working for you, PM me and we shall arrange something. :3
All species are available for additional private dragonswap outside of this giveaway. But only after each species closes.
I think I'm going to put each species up either in turn, or as I colour them. They'll only be up for one or two days. If there's more than one up at one time, please don't request a second until I've finished your first-- I don't want to get overwhelmed.
When submitting a request, which includes a link/info on our dragonswap and the colour infos you want, please include this: Request so it's easier for me to spot in the thread.

Information on the beasts in general
The largest are the Phlegethon beasts, the smallest are the Lethe beasts.
Assume all images are proportional in terms of characteristics of each species, though not nessicarily in relation to each other. >.>;; (i.e, in each species, you can estimate their length by deciding on a sitting-height at the shoulders and comparing it to the length).
Sitting in the poses I've put all of these guys in, Phlegethon beasts are between 6-8 feet at the shoulder, Styx beasts are 4-6 feet at the shoulder with the occasional7 and 8 foot beast, Acheron beasts are 5-7 feet, Coclytus beasts are 4-5 feet with the occasional 6', and Lethe beasts are 3-4 feet. Standing heights vary according to subspecies.
All of these are interbreedable with dragons that have no breeding restrictions against them.
All of these are fairly rare.
All of these come from an area in mindspace called Cretus, specifically Dis's underworld. Cretus is on the PoAMW, which is the same plane as Akhet.
All of the images have some sort of symbolic significance to the myths of the rivers they mirror, but i won't explain that.
Those jagged triangles are mirrors that see into other worlds. some can use those to teleport, too.
Abilities to each vary between species; i'll let you choose. Most of them ARE necromancers, however, seeing as how they're aligned with the Cretus kingdom of the dead. A word on mindspace necromancy-- it's not exactly conventional. IT follows a philosphy in general of life through death/continuation of life through death/death as a stage between continued lives, though individuals may not adhere to this, or even consiously know it. Basically, it works like this. Weak necromancers can see spirits and talk to them, stronger can put them in things, stronger can "generate" servant spirits [nonsentient, non thinking masses of energy that do things without question], stronger can put any of those into things that can then be used by anyone to summon the spirit in question, stronger can animate a corpse, stronger can animate a human-shaped figure and/or create a golem, Stronger can animate any object, stronger can create a body and animate it, stronger can create a body and turn it into a functioning living body and animate it, even stronger can create a body and turn it into a functioning living immortal body and animate it. etc. So necromancy in mindspace also covers things such as conversion/alchemy, and healing magics. :3 that's just cuz i thought it's an interesting fact that people might want touse if they use these babies for stories.

Beasts!
Currently available: Acheron
<hr>
Acheron
Image
Normal. Alternate examples: Original Example, plain black example
Patterns-
Satin
Image
Bevel
Image
<hr>
Lethe
Image
Lethe. the river of forgetfulness. Among the smallest. Maybe innocent. Sybolism in the image- those mirrors face you. They have many eyes, but they're almost always blind (they see some things, sometimes.), their ears are sewn shut.
Use that to influence the personalities and abilities you give them.
Pattern examples-
[http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h119/ ... wsatin.png]Satin[/url]
Bevel
<hr>
Cocytus
Image
Some notes on these guys-- they're supposed to look frail and fragile, but they're a lot stronger than they look. Usually strong necromancers, and usually through music/sound as a medium. A lot of their magic is through sound, actually.
Pattern examples [other availble]
Satin
Bevel
<hr>
Phlegethon
Phlegethon beasts! :D
Image
I can /try/ to change the colour of the flames, but nopromises it will look any good. X.x
:3 there's the normal marking snad patterns available, as well as Bevel and satin.
[bevel]: --
(alternate- ~Click me~)
[satin]: --
note- stray pixils around eyes and horn will be erased. sorry the fire sucks in general.

XD Oh my god, they're on fire! You know I can't resist anything on fire!

Hey, Ness, here's your dragon I finally uploaded from the last dragonswap...

http://artdragon.mine.nu/~kat/random/nessietrade.gif

and here's a sponsor for this'er. X3

Nasent Chxalli. :D http://artdragon.mine.nu/~kat/aven/nasent.html

As for colors, surprise me? X3 Just don't make the fire green or yellow (as in completely yellow -- I don't mind yellow in 'normal' fire red-orange-yellow-white combination), and I'll be happy.

Ah, the river of fire, mine favorite of the lot. :D

Request

http://xenoqueen.deviant-uprising.com/S ... nisAel.htm (to bond)

Dark colors (except for the glows) and normal fire, please?

I got the idea of one of these beasties being a Guardian and summoning up undead and constructs and the like to augment the security forces. 83 I approve.

Hee, this thread got all floody when iwas sleeping. :3 This post may be a wierd bit. I'm post sleepy. -wriggles-

Dray- ^^ Dragonswaps are just what their name says-- In exchange for me colouring a dragon image, you give me a coloured image. Sometims it's easier than digging up a candidate.

Xenoqueen- :D Yay for burny! I'm fonder of Acheron and Styx, though. -wierd- I likes that idea. ^^ I shalt colour one up for you~

Jkat- -wrigglewrigglesqueel~- Bonder Daemon! In greeny golds and green golds! -cling- ;-; I love it! likef'serious, i'm already getting the foggy hints of plans~ Is there anything ishould know for that one specifically, like gender? :3 Or am i posessing of free reign/rein?
Fire is always good. :3 And i figured, from your.. Caetrae? I might be spelling that wrong; forgive me if i am. groggy. :3 And squee, warm colours! Those are always different for me, so I like that. -will get on it soon-

-waddles off to fill requests- :D

Your welcome~

Also, jkat- I couldn't stand the uberpurpleness of the first one, which is saying something becuase I have an amazing tolerance for purple and bright colours, so i made an alternate. Pick one (or take both, I don't care, really.)

X3 Ness, he's just perfect. :3 Thank you!

*edit, just catching the second* XDD Oh man, I loves that one, too! If I keep both, do you want me to color up another template for you? I'm sure I can dig one up somewhere...

Ahhh, I see!

Hey, I don't have a site that compiles all of my current templates... but if you look through some of my later records from Star City, (More like the BWR or Kalyturn-Hybridization-Center) there's a bunch that're there :O What would you like from me?

Jkat- :3 not unless you want to. ^^ I mean, of course /I/ wouldn't mind, but I did the second without agreeing with you first tocolour me another template, which is unfair. XP And I honestly don't mind, since I did the second real quick becuase I was displeased with the first. So whichever's easiest.

and squee! :3 I know I've seen some BWR dragons that caught my eye.. Is there any cut-off date/template for the templates you don't have? /Do you still have that VC bloodcourt template? >.> cuz if you do, that seals it for me. :3

The Blood Court template was coloured by Phe, so it's not mine to clone out, anymore. >.>' Actually, I only have the last two templates from Star City to give away. I think I have all of the BWR ones, however!

:3 I had the vague feeling that was so. >.> Or I thought it would be too old to give out.
Clutch 11-b from the BRW if you have it? and if not, another beautiful nightmourner. <3 -purrs at them- Originally i was gonna say random, but those are ones i've been drooling and twitching over for awhile.

Do you have any preferences for your Phlegethon beasty?

Tell me ifyoudon't like, especially the glows, and i'll redo. :/ I dunno how /i/ feel bout the glows, myself. >.>

and I should mention, These will only be open for the rest of today, so if you want one, tell meso at the very least. :3 even if your candidate isn't ready yet or your dtrade isn't either. the only persons who have done so so far, if i remember correctly, are Dray and Unyko.

For mine, could I have something with more red-deeper fire (Kind of like the first ones you posted, not so much the lighter-coloured fire like JKat's second?) For colours... if you could do something that looks like burnt flesh, more with the darker, old caked on scabs than brighter stuff, that'd be awesome. :O

As for the 11-b, I'm relatively sure that I still have it. (XD I'm at work, but I'll check once I'm home and have some homework done!) What colours would you like it in? You mind if I say it's unrelated to the rest? X3

(I so have to make a 'cloning vats' page that lists all of my templates up for trade.)

:3 aye aye capitan. and that will be an interesting effect. No promises i'll pull it off perfectly, but I /will/ try.

XP and that's my default. :3 I was gonna say a random mutt. As for colours-- no preference, btu i really liked that chaotic colour thing going on with some of them.. like, the specklies or whatever of different rainbow colour, i can't describe it. -shrug- :3 but i leave everything up to you in the end, cuz you know your template best and what will look good no it.

To all! Third beast is available! Cocytus, the river of lamantation, on whose banks the unburried and poor were said to wander becuase they couldn't pay cheron or whatever his name was to get across styx. I tried to make it accordingly emo looking. unfortunately, it sucks, btueh. ;-;
