Description Reuploaded, cuz a little Yote, bunny...er..crow dragon chica asked me too ^^

This is my first Canvas ( a species of dragons I created)...some BG on em now...cuz I was asked for it.)

Species: Canvas/Dragon

Gender : Male

Name: N/A right now

Sentient: Yes, very, but like people, there are some above, and below par.

Flight: Not without help.

Swim: Yes, very well.

Speech: Yes...mostly a common language, but they easily pick up others. When young, they can easily master a few languages, enough to get them well established later in life.

Society: Canvas' are very social, Clan like creatures. Lead by the elders of their clans, they work well together ( like people, without the bitter parts). They follow old laws, traditions, and beleifs..tho have no base religion. Superstitious, but only in a mild/humours way, they follow the elders of their clan as if their words were law. But there is no set leader. Like all societies, there are some bad apples. But even those that do not want to help, or follow the ways, are easyily dealt with. There are 3 main classes of Canvas Dragon: The Hides, The Pericers, and The Inkers. Hides are the basice Canvas...workers, harvestors, fishers..the dragons that do all of the basic work, building, and tending to everyday life. The Pericers, and Inkers tho, are a special breed of Canvas ( Soon to be fully illustrated ^^) Smaller bodied, with more developed craniums, and specialized forearms, these two subclasses as overly specialized for the spiritual, teaching, and adornment of their fellow Canvas'. The peircers have a specilazed thump, and forefinger...shaped much like a claw, it is designed to do the periceings, that signify acheviment, and growth of a young Canvas, while the inkers claws, are all elongated, and razor sharp...hollow as well, so when dipped in ink, they work like perfect little hypodermic needles...allowing ease of tattooing...Canvas' status in their tribe, is designated by their tattoos and pericings. The more of both you have, the more standing you have in the Clan. All Canvas' are born white, live, and one, or two at a time. More is very rare, and color is almost none exhistant in infants.

Um...I'll write something better up later ^^

Wow, what an original and fascinating species!! May I adopt an inker? All credit will go toward you of course, but I'd love to draw one, even if it's just the once! I love anything to do with body modification and fantasy.. and you've just combined them in a brilliant way! It's love at first sight

aww, thank you so much for the Canvas love!
They are still a very new species, and there's a good bit of writting I still need to do with them, but if you don't mind giving me a little time to finish filling them out, I would love to have you build one ^^

...I am in the process of working on a character sheet for these guys. Since in the species thing...there are 3 very distinct body types, and slight differences between male and female in the normal version. So yea...More IS on the way ^^

Canvas' are about Clyesdale height, at the shoulders...well, when on all fours. ^^...I think he likes you...XD

I just wrote a two paragraph comment on this and it got erased before I could submit it! *Bangs head on the keyboard* Anyways, let me try to rewrite this the best I can.

I like the use of black and red in designing the tattoos, and not just the color but the way you designed it. That’s really cool, seriously. The only thing is the white skin on white background. I think maybe a gray (or even slightly different white) background might have your drag- er, I mean Canvas stand out better

I also like how you took the time to write a bio about your creation. Though I was half-expecting to see β€˜hit points’ and β€˜strength, dexterity’ and so on And because you took the time to write this, it peaks my curiosity to know more rather than just seeing a really cool looking dra – CANVAS! I meant Canvas I’ll just close by saying great job.

*hugs tightly in sympathies, to DA eating long, well thought out comments >< *

AND..yea..this was an older pic, I should rescan the original, and work with it a bit ...But the idea of making the BG slightly different, is a good one. Make him stand out...lol..because well, they are all attention hogs ^^..little brain freaks ><

AND...yes, call them dragons..they ARE a type of dragon...but their species name ( or..er, whatever) is Canvas...because of the way they adore themselves with paint ( ink) and metal arts...^^

and you know NO...Um, ALL of my friends are D&D nerds ><..and I REALLY really try to avoid going that direction...as much, and as violently as possibly ...LOL...and Fear not...I've gotten such a good response to these guys, that it seems I now have no choice, but to sit down with em, and work out some more, indepth, well thought out history/story/and stuff ^^...

OOOOOOOh *slaps head* So they’re a β€œsubspecies” of dragon. I thought you meant they were β€œlike” dragons.

*Rereads description*

QUOTE: β€œThis is my first Canvas ( a species of dragons I created)...some BG on em now...cuz I was asked for it.)”

*Hangs his head in shame* I’m sorry, I misread the description. Now everything makes sense, and balance has been once again been restored to the universe. Or namely mine

Sasaki [2004-06-23 00:06:14 +0000 UTC]

That chain from it's nose ring to it's ear is kinda distracting. At first glance I thought it was the bottom of it's jaw.

Other then that, it's pretty cool. It reminds me of a monster from Final Fantasy. ^^

wylde In reply to Sasaki [2004-06-23 03:40:39 +0000 UTC]

yea, it's not that clear, I know...but, well, it was my first one..*shrugs* been thinking of going back, and adding more to it...

and any animal in particular, or just a FF random thing?

Sasaki In reply to wylde [2004-06-23 16:50:38 +0000 UTC]

Well, Final Fantasy throws a bunch of interesting lizard creatures at you in battle. I would say a specific one, but it's more of a random thing. Because it's more of something you'd expect, then something already there.

wylde In reply to EyeOfChaos [2004-06-22 23:48:36 +0000 UTC]

actually, he's nameless, not because he lacks a name, but because Canvas' don't name eachother. People sometimes call them names...to get their attention. But Canvas' know one another by sight, or sound, or smell. They communicate much more subtley then people. But thank you for the offered name.
