if you want art look no further
if you want good art you should prolly keep looking
second installment of "wow rainflight can actually draw ??" and the one you should actually read instead of the first installment because the first one is crap cos...
i should be measuring my sketchbooks for my bookcase but instead i'm working on this species :))))
originally they were just gonna be a thing for g+ and thats why there's a bunch of hair everywhere???
anyway here's the thingy
Oops! This image does not follow our content guidelines. To continue publishing, please remove it or upload a different image.
the species is called diphenides (die-fen-ih-deez). referring to a member is diphenian, diphenians.
so basically their core (instead of organs n stuff) is like this gem that holds their limbs together with an invisible cord (basically bluetooth but for bodies) and this core is always located in the stomach area no matter what. the invisible cord can also send nerves down to the separated limbs.
ok so they don't really have any natural defenses, and that's why they have the kinetic eye which casts this light that activates the kinetic ability (oh god this sounds so bad???) and the kinetic ability is connected to the color of their eye (also the eye will be the same color as the light, only the eye is a much much much lighter shade)
also they have really obscure kinetic abilities like (my personal favorite) astronkinesis so yeeee
uncommon: orange: odynokinesis (pain) purple: nemakinesis (cloth and thread) yellow: toxikinesis (poisons) pale blue: ASTRONKINESIS (dEAD STAR REMNANTS) pale yellow: lutumkinesis
rare: red: infernokinesis (hellfire) (oo edgy) white: hyalokinesis (glass) any gray: varying skill levels of quiekinesis (depending on shade: the lighter gray it is, the weaker their abilities are) black: phobikinesis (fears) pale yellow: florakinesis (flowers)
(gold and silver are,,, denser than pale gray and well there is no color that looks like gold. like if you stick your hand in it it feels like you're sticking it in a small wind tunnel except the wind is blowing from all directions towards you. basically like water or mud)
10000000000% impossible rainbow: logikinesis (logic) gET IT???
aaaanyway their names are almost always greek and/or based off of stars,,, if not then they sound like they could be star names.
i'm a nerd lmao
also we're reading a ton of greek stories in world studies,,, and that might be a contributing factor to why all these oc names are like "archaes" and "aeolis" and shit like that
AAAAaanyway if you're having trouble with names there's a really really cool app called SkyView and there's a free version that's basically the same as the $2 version and what it does is it shows you the location of every star visible from earth at that moment so its live. and when you point the camera/lil circle thingy in the middle of the screen at a star, it'll give you the name of the star and all that good stuff. there are a lot of cool names that you can find and it's really really cool and yeah. i get a lot of names from there like sarir (my five-eyed baby) and regor and uGH its so cool
i think i have an obsession with stars oops
anyway back to the species!!!
the colors of the eye don't really determine what like level(???) you're in power/wealth wise,,, it depends more on like the personality n shit.
their COLORS!!!
ok so every single one of these dudes are like this teal-gray color.

like that's their clothes (as seen in ref sheet), but their skin is a lighter shade of that. also the three dots on the side of the head are always there and they're either white or black. it doesn't really matter, and it's not genetic, it's just a random variable (like sexuality).
oh they're also asexual, meaning they reproduce asexually (like the lizards). they also don't really have a gender binary??? i mean they're all the same sex but like they're all different genders. they do have the capacity to love romantically but they can't lust over one another.
i'm really proud of that name tbh.
anyway this is a species for CassavaCass 's universe, if there are any questions you have or if i've missed anything let me know. thank you sO MUCH for letting me do this holy crap
pls give make one a pale blue type omg that would be amazingn
jk u dknt have to
but tbh i'm so inspired,, i wanna make a diphenian oc now wh
sorry there wasn't much art here but like. i'm super excited for this mY BABIES GET TO BE A PART OF THIS AAAAAH
