So here's some backstory: This is a sprite of my Mistria farmer Nil. I put that lotus hat on him the first week, and just never found anything better for him, and that spiralled into me writing it into his backstory that he is in fact a river nymph who has recently taken on a human disguise so he can run a farm. In my head, he's the youngest of seven in a royal family and has no real role in the fish kingdom, so he set off by himself to seek his fortunes elsewhere. Does this backstory makes sense in the context of mistria? who knows, but that's what I'm sticking with.

So here's Nil in his human disguise, and his Naiad form. I always wanted to do a fishy fanspecies too, so this was a good oppurtunity for me to experiment with making one. I'll try to make a better ref for them once I've nailed down the designs.

Some Catyr landscapes.

Fun fact, catyr foliage is mostly yellows and oranges and turns a dark blood red or black in the fall. Up north, they have species of trees that have blue and blue violet leaves.

Their skies are also a bit of a more teal color, and thus their water reflects that.

Here's some of my ocs for one of my original fan species, Catyrs.

[problemspritester]

@problemspritester i can totally summarize what ive got so far about these guys!! i still dont have a proper name for them yet - ive just been calling them "bots" in my head, so thats what ill call them here for now. also, the design isnt set in stone yet, i might still play around with it. :3

thisll probably be real infodumpy, kinda just scattered thoughts, so ill put it under a readmore. hopefully theres something interesting here? im not involved with anyone else in the homestuck fandom/fanspecies community atm so i really dunno anything about this stuff :p

but anyway! theyre a species of synthetic lifeforms, created to serve another race. i kinda like the idea of it being some version of humanity, but it ultimately isnt super important, because their creators are long gone!

the original species was wiped out by some cataclysm (maybe sburb?) while the bots survived. theyre self-replicating, i.e. they have the means to make more of themselves, so they were able to repopulate. but without their creators, they were left with no purpose.

originally, a bot served one of four functions. they could be made for doing physical work; for entertainment and companionship; to be medics or nurses; or as technicians that worked on non-bot machinery. there were different specializations, e.g. combat and construction both fall under the "physical work" category.

their solution to being left on their own was to create a new class of bot to play the role of ordinary citizens, while the others continue to fulfill their previous roles. these new bots took the place of the medical bots, since theyre no longer needed. now theyre all basically roleplaying a normal society in the wreckage of the previous one, following their original directives indefinitely. to make up for the lack of direction, four bots were made to serve as leaders of the respective groups.

theres some conflict among those who agree with this and those who dont - particularly, former medical bots who resent being rendered obsolete are the main faction pushing for change. a lot of them were reprogrammed or decommissioned, and the ones that werent dont really like that!

their "signs" are more like identifiers: theyre graphical representations of binary code, easily readable at a glance by cameras and such.

each row represents a byte, with white for 0 and (in this case) magenta for 1. converted with ascii/utf-8, you get a name (five letters) and a number (three digits)!

the squares in the corners just represent the four previously mentioned categories. junee is an entertainment bot! hes defective, though; the virus hes got locks him in to certain emotions. when hes happy, hes ONLY happy, and very much so; when hes angry, hes 100% pissed.

a virus here can be anything from an annoying malware program to a fully sentient digital being with malicious intent! maybe even a species of its own...? either way, it often eventually results in the afflicted bot being factory reset.

if they were to play sburb, theyd totally be able to do so normally, god tiering and stuff as per usual. in real life, it might be unclear if a robot can be "alive", but as far as this fanspecies goes, they absolutely are! ^-^

thats all i can really think of off the top of my head. idk what im gonna do with all this, if anything, but im happy to share ideas!

[problemspritester]

some sprites of my oc, juni, inspired by @deepseaspriteblog's 15 sprites prompt list! though as you can see, theres less than 15 here :p i also jumped around a bit...

weve got original, dreamer, god tier, fancy dreamer, fancytier*, species swap, kidswap**, fanspecies*** and trickster mode!!

*i tend to lean more towards "customized god tier outfit" whenever i try to do fancytiers... so if its not very fancy, thats why lol

**i just swapped him with one of the canon kids, so! juni harley! in my head, hes got some like, peter pan vibes going on... ._.

***i dont know a lot of fanspecies so i just made one up! this is juni as a member of a robotic species ive yet to name... i do have tiny bits of lore here and there that i can share if theres interest, but not much concrete yet. that being said, im pretty proud of the method i decided on for the "sign" :3

theres two of that sprite, because one is "normal" and the other is "defective"! i will leave the specifics of what that means up to your imagination. >u>

anyway ty monty for gettin me spriting again >:3 hopefully its not weird that i used your bases for it hehe.
