Insectaur is kinda new owo Also, motheria, neat.

Thank ya. Yea The insectaur is the only animal I think that can evolve into a centaur.

If you're looking for new ideas...gonna be hard. I'd say take old ones and tweak em some, or the various 'under used' ideas that are out there. Mix and match also helps~

But, from my own experience, first and foremost you kinda need to know what the roles are, are they just there to be there, or will they serve a function in the ecosystem? Will they be a political power, force of nature, occasionally helpful wise men living in the bog? Figure out what you have, then figure out what you need and want, make things to fill those roles.

Personally, I wanna see more abnormal/less humanoid bodies. I mean, 2 arms are great, what about four? What about no major arms but having 2 little vestigial arms on the front?

Interesting. That's a good poin. One i don't think i'd ever consider tbh.

Heh, i've been tackling the whole 'world building' thing for a while now. I eventually settled on a more 'classic' and bare bones setup. 3 elf races, Humans and Dwarves, Beastfolk, and naturally Orks, Trolls, Goblins(Though goblins are a 4th race of elves in my world...). And of course, Deities and their minions(demons and angels).

Just those provide more than enough for me to handle. Plus there are sub factions to consider(like religious groups, extremists, political factions....)

A random thought of mine on your world, your Motheria could serve the role of Bees from our world. As in, pollenators. T hey got all that fluffy furr for gathering pollen! Sure they don't have wings, but they look like fast sprinters, so them running around, leaving trails of pollen and collecting more of it to distribute around...just an idea :P

Yea, i keep wanting the basic races, buti love creating new ones.

that's kinda interesting. thanks.

Yw, It took me a while to figure this stuff out XD.

really? How long?

Couple years after I started world building. First attempts of just cramming everything I wanted into it didn't...work. Too many things were doing the same thing and it kinda got redundant and made no real sense as to why X and Y were there when they both did Z.

right...huh...that's a good idea. So what roles did they have? how to i figure this out?

It really boils down to archetypes. Like you have the "Proud and Noble(And/or Arrogant)" race like high elves or typically some other long lifed species, The Honorable Warriors(Orks, beast folk), The Great Builders(Dwarves), ect ect...You can substitute these with your own species. Like great builders could be your Vespion, Honorable warriors your Dwarves, ect ect.

I figured this out for my world by going through how the world came to be, and from there how life came to be on the world. In the case of Idir, it was made when the 2 cosmic forces of light, order, ect and the forces od darkness, chaos, ect, kept bumping into each other in the great vast nothing that was nothing, and eventually their mixing energies created Idir, a barrier between the two of them. From there SCath(Force of Darkness/chaos) got bored, poked Idir, caused Beastfolk to be made, beastfolk ran wild on Idir and Solas didn't like this so Solas made the Elvan to go stop the forces of Scath(The beast folk) from taking over Idir.

And I just went on a roll after that.

i think i understand. IDK where any of mine fit honestly.

You'll figure it out as you hash out the cultures and ect.

maybe...idk.

I could assist sometimes owo? But in the end, tis your world, best you do it yourself. I recommend bing watching fantasy movies and listening to music, also reading.

i'd appreciate that.

Oooo The number of insectoid races has increased from the last one.

I'm always for feline races XD

yea....I like insectoids. lol

It's way too small, I can't see anything.

How's the size now?

Much better, thank you.

no problem!

The Insectaur does pop out, interested in seeing how you are going to add the insect features to the face.

Motheria is cute, even if it is a deadly animal with those mantis arms.

I like the way you changed the kobold's spine so that the normal stance is leaning forward, gives it a more animalistic look compared to the normal version.

Yea, I don't have any ideas currently so I gotta think of some concepts.

Best kinda race are the cute and deadly.

Thanks! Yea, I like more monstrous races than just a human body with X addition to it.

For the Insectaur, could see how a Praying Mantis head works for the race if it is carnivorous.
>,=,>
Though if the race is the more peaceful herbivore type nothing comes to mind for the head.

I haven't decided. I think they'd be omnivores.

Not sure what you are looking for. I have endless ideas. A sheeptaur? A sentient rock/crystal creature powered by a magical core? A 3 eyed, 4 armed gypsy styled race? Borrowing a bit from an artist I follow, a sphinx that walks around on all fours but can still grasp and manipulate with their forepaws? A bipedal chimera that has a snake tail? Cerebus with 3 heads? I even have a race I've detailed in my profile that I'll eventually release a short story for. Some day.

Sheeptaur will be a subspecies of centaurs. I'm just kinda wanting some ideas for things that might be fun.

Very cool ideas

Thank you!

One issue is that I can't see them clearly even when I click on the pic again.

How's the size now?

That did it. Thanks. 8>

needs Unicorns. Bipedal, sentient, who can shoot their horns in war, and touch for healing in peace.

That's a very interesting idea!

I am For unicorns. never personalized, just Unicorns in general. and not the stupid commercial ones either. makes me shy away from Ice cream.

wait what? lol

there have been stupid commercials. Poo-pouri, ( a bathroom spray)

i'm scared to click that link lol

The little gremlin is adorable.

the goblin gal? Awww thank you!

Yeah!

*imagines in hmofa*

Awesome lineup :3 Nice unique design for the centaur-like race, and interested to know more about them and the Motheria.

Thank you so much! Yea a lott ppl seem to like them.

Some semi/aquatic species would be neat. Like shark or octopus based. Or, gods forbid, sharktopus based.

OoooOOo sharktopus! I think there might be some aquatic races but they'd only live in the sea/island/coastal areas.

I like what I'm seeing, what inspired you to give the elves digitigrade legs?

The idea was if humans evolved from apes maybe elves evolved from deer. They're pretty and graceful so it seemed to be a good match.

I think its very clever, in my settings the human like races tend to share common ancestors as I blend the magic world building with what I know of evolutionary biology (give or take some creative liberties) but humanoids with different ancestors is always fun too

agreed

I'd love to see a larger version so I can more accurately see them. ^^

How's the size now?

Perfect!

Dayum, even better being able to see more detail now :3

thanks!

naja more?

what?
