Oh, the pups are great. Driving there mother nuts but, doing pretty good. LOL ;)

XD I have all the images done, Dray...just trying to get more of my own critters and characters paged first. Some are long over due. Then I intened to reopen Falas, the FGPC, Dark Moon and Alair, for sure. And with a space ship able to take up the slack where Treval fell short, perhaps I can try to get that organized, too.

This is where I'm still testing the code. Elruvian coat color is actually based on the magic, not the magic based on the coat color. If an ice blue color wolf bred with a Pernese, only ice and water magic are in the Elruvian's genes thus, no would be the answer to that question. Most of the time, if two Elruvian's of different Kindreds (say Fire and Earth) bred, the offspring would have to wait to grow up and test there powers and see what they have before figuring out there Kindred or Kindreds. As some powers are shared, expecially between simular Kindreds (Fire and Sun, Fire and Desert, Earth and Mountain, or Ice and Snow, which are exsact same but the white has bred more common in the snow loving wolves and the silver with the ice wolves. Otherwise, those two Kindreds are the exsact same!)

So yeah, to the second. When I've played with the genes, I look at the coat colors to see what powers that wolf has inheritated on the Elruvian side. As long as they have Ame for one of there abliliites (with an Pernese wolf, they would have At1 or something). It it's At3ame, magic is dominate and wins meaning they don't ahve any of there Perneses' parents powers. If they have Ame as one of them, even if paired with At1, then I look at there color code to see what they got. If they only have the water power, they are considered, by all laws, a Water Wolf, not Ice. If they have only ice magic, they are still considered Ice Wolves, but perhaps a lesser one (Ice and Snow need water and ice magic to be considered thus..wonder if it would make sense if I change it...hehe.).

I haven't been able to test all the Elruvian stuff out, but, minus the genetics, I hope I answered everything. >.< :P

I had wondered about that! I saw it somewhere else today on the forum, too -- pointed brackets are tricksome. Thanks!

Too many squinchy faces, bracketing by accident. I had to completely reformat some story stuff I was posting on the elfquest forums for that reason.

Okay, before you all glare at me for changing the template AGAIN, let me say this: the images for the Frenzy were never meant to be permanent. :P I've always wanted a template (well, I always thought I would have to draw about six of them) for each species but as it turns out I think I'll be able to manage with one. Like I do for the FGPC with that one template. And here is the working idea (I'll get puppy images, too, but that might be just a universal one, the one I have now).

Image

now, to play with it a bit more. Still need to figure out wings. But once I get this done perhaps I can get some of those demonic wolves out their. :P

Okay, here are the final line art for the new template. If you would rather I use (or just keep it to collect some dust) the old one, let me know. Their are a number of issues I intended to fix with the new one (like the wings...I cheated horribly on them and I feel very guilty... :oops: ) I know you may not see a noticeable difference in the breeds but their is:

Image

Zarish
No modifications
Alskyrian
longer legs
shallower belly
longer tail
thinner ruff
Reriran
thicker ruff
Pernese
longer legs
longer tail
Elruvian
shallower belly
thicker ruff
Canese
thicker tail
thicker ruff
demons have draconic wings/ears pinned back, and narrowed eyes

I guess I needed something artistic to work on after the OEM was done and I don't have any more candidates to write...just dragons to page, I know, I know...*slinks away in distracted mode*

I love the new templates! It's neat to pick out all the different details between the breeds, and I totally need to get a demonic Canese now. :D
I think it's time to put a new litter up at Sgiath. I don't particularly like how the current litter turned out, and I wanna use my own new templates...
Darkling Dawn: Fauna Frenzy Open to candidates; flights open to males/females; rukel eggs/breedings available.
Drockh-Tallahn Castle: 3 eggs, 2 available. Females and males needed.
Sgiath Wolfkeep: 7 pups available
Sedona Weyr: 12 eggs, Deadline March 8. Chasers and a female needed.

Just thought I'd post how the template is coming along. This is the Zarand wolf template (once I get this one done I can start the others by tweaking them how the lines work... Makes my life a bit simpler. lol) I did shrink the eyes a bit because they looked too big. I'm happier with the face now. Not as cartoony as before. :P

Image

Pretty boring coloration for a Zarish wolf, though. I should have called them the Rainbow Wolves considering they come is so many weird colors. lol

So I got board. But these may end up being used at LSI or something. :P

Image
It's a wolf WITHOUT wings! Mwahaahaa! yeah, I know, I'm weird. I really only did it for Melanuael's wolf form but wingless-wolves are requestable, too. :P

I also had this weird idea (actually, an old one) to do a winged wolf with crystal like, see-through like wings. :P hmmm.....

I love the color blending on that one! Very pretty! And yes yes you should try for a transparent wing!

So, would anyone kill me if I found an easier way to deal with Elruvian genetics? Because I doubt I'm the only one who finds Elruvian's a pain [if using genetic codes]. I'm thinking I have a way to make breeding them easier........I think. Just want to know if anyone would kill me if I did change it should this work and prove easier. :P

lol Just do what you gotta do, love. :) Maybe just reorganize the genes so that you don't just list them in a big line. It's why I have always used a vertical chart for my Ferilons, it makes things MUCH easier to breed and view.
