Description DOWNLOAD TO FULL VIEW!!!

I first came up with this concept years ago, but only a few months back I decided to work on it again and give it a major revamp
Can't believe it took me longer to organize the information than to draw it Xp

Liepns are an open species, which means you can create your own as long as you give me proper credit and a link back to this page

A few notes:
- the information on the sheet only concerns "wild" Liepns
- although they are (partially) biped they have no relationship with humans besides hating them, so never expect them to act like one
- they don't have weird patterns (stars, hearts, etc), unnatural colors (pink, purple, etc) nor tattoos, piercings or similar accessories
- they can't speak human language, though they can understand it if raised by them

Species to be more precise. I don't have any particular Liepn character

I haven't got a premium membership, so I can't do a critique. I hope you don't mind if I write a long comment instead.

Wow, I like it. Only one thing...I can't read anything. The print is way too small. Even if it turned out bigger if I downloaded it (which I don't do), then the page would be entirely too big for me to bother with. Perhaps if, next time you make one, you either split it into two, or put all the writing in the authors notes? Just a suggestion. I'm vary fond of the claw idea, though, and the art work is very good. I'm also quite fond of the eyes and coloring, though a few of the colors and lines were too thin and faded for me to see. All and all, a good piece of art work and a very creative species. From one to five, you would get a four! Well done.

Birvan In reply to AcidicPanda [2010-07-18 13:09:35 +0000 UTC]

No, not at all ^^

To be honest I didn't have much of a choice. Either I would cut even more information (but then there wouldn't be enough to get a good idea on the species) or make it a vertical reference sheet (but it would end up being too troublesome on my end during the editing)
Breaking it down into 2 pages would also be an option, but tat would only work if I had it planed from the beginning. If I did it at the end it would cause a discontinuity on the information. And put the writing in the comments is out of the question (it's way too massive)

But I'll keep those ideas in mind the next time I do a reference sheet. Thank you

No problem, I'm just glad to see such serious creators here on Da. I'm rather tired of creatures with a paragraph of info and one picture.

How are albino and melanistic individuals seen in their society?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Birvan In reply to TheWhiteCrayon [2010-06-19 10:25:11 +0000 UTC]

Albinos are seen as bad luck (because predators easily spot them), so they're avoided , if not forced to leave their societies

Melanistic are considered to be envoys of the death and servants of the moon, so they pay them a minimal respect to avoid getting cursed before they are forced to look for another warren to give them temporary food and shelter

I love how they're different from humans and yet still very similar. XD I love how convincing and "realistic" this species is. I love how you put a lot of your mind into it. and there are so many cute details.

Wonderful reference, very informative. Hope all other artists will do such descriptions V_V

This species is very interesting and nice-looking too, it'll be great to know more about them, their habits and lifestyle. Which language do they use? how fo they choose their names? Do they have some kind of religion?
Can I draw one of them? just for training and self-enjoy - I really love their horns and tusks, and those bunny-like ears

Birvan In reply to Una-Arista [2010-05-16 12:38:14 +0000 UTC]

I'm still working on the details, but you can find the general information in the reference sheet

And yes, you can create one, as long as you follow what I wrote in the comments

Btw, if you're really interested in them you could write down all the answers you want me to answer about them and I can try to come up with a reference sheet for their sociological side

Sorry for bothering you again
[link] I did this sketch today, in my copybook (sorry for low quality T_T). She's like... jumped in my head She has got her scars from the carnivore's attack. Could you tell me, is there is something wrong? Excuse me, please, if I made mistakes in this design. Oh, and this is a fawn, not grown-up Liepn.

No bother at all

There are some slight mistakes on the muzzle and toes. The nostril are like a rabbit's and the nails are broader. Other than that it looks fine
