    Axibian Design Requests!

    (I'm sorry, I know this is like my second thread about these stupid things x'D )

    Request-an-Axibian!

    Hey everyone! So as of late I've developed a fictional species called "axibians." They're based on most amphibians; mainly salamanders, newts, and frogs. Rays also play a part in their design with their back fins.

    Before I try to go onto DeviantART and sell character designs, I wanted to do something that I think will be really special for you guys! You guys get to request one of these little ones from me for no charge at all! Think of it as a "thank-you" to everyone on PXR for having such a special place in my heart. <3 I think this will be really fun! Here's a reference sheet for them, along with information, that should tell you everything you need to know.




    Axibian Biology

    Spoiler:

    Axibians are strangely cute, amphibious creatures that look somewhat similar to real-life axolotls. There are no two Axibians that are the same: they all vary in appearance depending on how they grow up. The adults are about a foot-and-a-half in height.

    When Axibians mate, the female will later lay 1 to 6 eggs (the embryo can die prior to hatching); the hatchlings are referred to as tadpoles. Some undetermined number of months later, they mature into their adolescent forms, called axlets. This is the stage in which they start to go through the biggest changes.
    When Axibians are axlets, they discover their favorite "thing." This "thing" can be any object, plant, animal, favorite food, man-made object...the list goes on! No one knows how exactly this happens, but when they metaphorically attach to a certain object that they are most fond with, their appearance will begin to change based on the object. This "variation" is referred to as an affinity. For instance, you can have an axie that has a strawberry affinity, or something.

    Axibians are also slightly influenced by their environment. While rare, axies that live in more arid conditions have drier, tougher skin. Axibians that grow up in more aquatic conditions have slimier and more sensitive skin. Evidently, axibians that grow up in pretty average conditions are...well, average. Their skin is very moist and soft and squishy. >w< Axibians also have small ridge-like teeth in the backs of their jaws to be able to chew, and have little hooks and their hands and feet (akin to geckos) to help them stick onto any surface with ease. Axibians are strictly herbivorous.

    They also don't typically mate for life; only staying with their mate until the baby reaches adolescence before they move on. There are always exceptions, however.

    Their docile, if not somewhat skittish nature, makes them great pets to keep. They really don't make terrific housepets, though, because they leave wet spots everywhere they go. Their personalities can greatly differ depending on their affinity.

    They are also sexually dimorphic, meaning that they have different physical traits based on their sex. This remains constant despite their affinity. These differences include:
    • Males have longer gills than females
    • Females have longer tails than males
    • Male Axibians' back toes are shaped like spurs. They don't seem to serve any additional function, though.
    • Female Axibians' pupils tend to differ slightly from the males. Assuming they have the same affinity, their pupil shape will typically be inverted to that of the males. For instance, if a male has a heart-shaped pupil, a female's pupil will be an upside-down heart.


    Babies are not sexually dimorphic. Also, Axibian's back fins become smaller as they mature. Tadpoles are strictly aquatic, obviously; hence why they have such large back fins in comparison to their bodies.

    Axlets are about half the size of the adults (8 inches), and tadpoles are half the size of that (4 inches). Don't let the reference sheet fool you, because I did a terrible job with scale there xDD




    Terms

    But with every good thing, comes a catch.

    Disclaimer


    As the creator of Axibians, I reserve the right to continue to make and distribute artwork of any Axibian character I create, whether or not it's been sold or not. I will not, however, try to sell the same exact design to multiple people. Anyone is allowed to create and distribute fan art of any character you've bought, so long as they mention the current owner in order to avoid potential confusion.

    Rules
    1. Unlike a lot of species owners, I don't charge MYO slots for you to make fan characters. If you want to make a fan character, I encourage it! However, it cannot be considered canon until it's passed by me. That way I can make sure if the design fits the overall scheme. Remember that Axibians need to have a stated affinity, and it needs to show physical signs of gills, tail/back fins, and the overall body shape. The first two things are also the two things that tend to be the most variable.

      a.) Please, out of respect, do not try to monetize from fan characters of this species. Knockoff and parody species are fine, but they really ought to have something different about them than actual Axibians. Don't just copy-paste EVERYTHING and call it a parody. Change some things up!
    2. It's not required, but I'd greatly appreciate credit for when you use this species, make fan characters, and the like. So long as you don't claim it as your own creation, I'm alright.
    3. I'd love to see fan characters! If you make one, feel free to mention or note me!
      (((The following will be in red and struck out because this isn't really relevant to the PXR community)))
    4. Characters can only be resold for the same amount or less than what you bought them as. MYO should not be sold. Please.
    5. I'm not opposed to trading characters / species. So long as you do the following, I'm okay with it:
      ***First and foremost, when you've figured out a deal with the other party, LET. ME. KNOW. WHO. IS. GETTING. THE. CHARACTER! I cannot stress this enough.
      ***Please link them to this page so that they can read and understand the terms and conditions.
    6. No refunds and no sell-backs (to me). Sorry!
    7. Buying commissions of any character(s) of this species you own is totally allowed! However, if you'd like to commission someone to make an Axibian character that belongs to someone else, please ask / pass it by that person first.


    Character Changes
    You are allowed to make changes to your character (and keep the character canon) IF...
    • It's still recognizable as an Axibian, and one of the assigned affinity. For instance, you can't make a strawberry Axibian into a pineapple Axibian. Well, correction: you CAN, but the redesign cannot and will not be considered canon. Having a non-canon design means that you can't [officially] breed that Axibian.
    • Please do not change the gender! If done so, they cannot officially breed.
    • Feel free to add mild bodily modifications (scars and the like), accessories, and the like if you wish.
    • "AU" (alternate universe stories, plots, etc.) are totally allowed! The individual character's personality isn't word of law and it can be reinterpreted. Additionally, I haven't added any backstory or history to these guys. So long as you stay within reason, you can make up your own little world for them! Just try to keep most if not all the original biology intact. :>

    If you fail to do these, the character will not be considered canon and will be listed as its original design.




    Requesting!


    In order to request, I need the following information: the sex and the overall look you want your Axibian to portray. Can be anything, from fictional characters to objects to whatever! Just...make sure to be detailed enough for me to understand what you're wanting and don't purposely make it overly-complicated. Axibian designs are relatively simple, anyhow! :>

    YOU MUST HAVE MADE AT LEAST 15 POSTS ON PXR! That way I know you're not joining solely for these things. xD Not sure that anyone would do that, but it never hurts to take precautionary actions!

    I can take however many request slots at one time.

    Waiting List
    1.) Trainer17 (Sketch)
    2.) Chakramaster (Sketch)
    3.) Lunar Latias
    4.) -----
    5.) -----
    Etc.

    ---------

    Finished
    1.) Suicune's Fire (Sketch Final)
    2.) Pokemon Trainer Sarah (Sketch Final)

    This is really cool Speed! And I LOVE the name!

    Have you done any drawings of the tadpole or axlet stages? They sound really cute :D

    I'm gonna try and think of something cool as an affinity (love the idea btw!!!) and I will be back to request :D

    I actually have! I'm working on the final art as of now, though. :> And thanks, I'm so glad you think so! 8D

    And just to let you guys know, you don't HAVE to use these characters for anything. xD Just don't want anyone to feel obligated. It's like with commissions, a lot of the time you commission or request something just to see how it looks!

    Wow, you've actually put a lot of thought into this. :D I love it! Axibians seem awesome! (and I was totally sold on the affinity thing)

    Once I figure out what my Axie has an affinity with, I'd love to request one from you. C:

    Thank you guys so much! I don't delve into character creation much, but I think I should a little more. It feels really cool when you get a fully developed character that you worked hard on making! :o And that's awesome, can't wait to see what you guys come up with! 8D Also note that it doesn't JUST have to be an affinity. If you just want a really cool design you came up with or something, that works as well! But it's your call.

    Edit: Babehz added <3

    Edit 2: Omg freaking shoot me, I cannot believe I forgot about their yellow sclera aaaaaaaaaaaaa

    I would love to see a green one. O: This is my request...

    Colour: Green and yellow (or you can replace one of them with silver to accomodate the fork, if that's how their colour works)
    Affinity: Fork. c:
    Sex: Female

    Erm, I'm not sure what else to add. I'd like a fork in the picture for sure, but also aspects of forks within the Axibian itself--however you choose to do so (spikes somewhere, probs).



    ERMAHLERD TEH BABEZ R SOOOOOOO CUTE. <3 Pls let me cuddle one. > v <

    @Suicune's Fire: Gave it a shot! This is honestly just the sketch; I'll make a finalized pic sometime tomorrow. Lemme know if there's anything I need to change about the design!

    @Pokemon Trainer Sarah @Trainer17 @Lunar Latias

    Hey guys, just wondering if you've thought of something! xD I figured you guys might have forgotten about this whole thread, lawl. (I wouldn't blame you; I've had a lot on my mind too)

    @Speed-X I love it! O: I think that's pretty perfect how it is. :3 Thanks so much for fulfilling my request! XD I only wish for it to be shiny, like metal, once you're colouring. c:

    Hahaha a fork! That's brilliant! It looks great, Speed! :D

    I haven't forgotten, I just haven't thought of anything good yet. All I can think about is a toaster for some weird reason xD

    I'll be back when I think of a cute idea!
