Sweet and sour little guys!

These were drawn a while ago. I just forgot to post it

Sooo Phloxe just posted some lore about Mantibabs in their Discord server about the rarities of Mantibab coat colors... Light coated Mantibabs are "Purer Souls, given special treatment in cities, destined for greatness, or who have a grand purpose." and dark coated Mantibabs "brings dark omens, death, and misfortune, and will be fearful, or take action against these babs, often resulting in exile, ostracization, or death of the individual." Don't we just love fantasy racist stereotypes :)

can you get as screenshot?

also worth noting the 2017 design was just supposed to be a shrimp-themed critter and not an actual take on an anthropomorphic shrimp. a lot of my animal characters at that point were similar - i still dont really know what my oc cal was supposed to be.

revamped a character from 2017. shrimplified him.

Could you coin a flag for trans/kin closed species? Like if someone is a creature that's already been written down and gatekept by an artist going "my idea don't steal!!1! don't make your own character!" so like... we can't even draw ourselves or talk about ourselves without being accused of plagiarism... unless we want to pay them a ton of money for commissions, MAYBE. it is so messed up. Some popular ones if you don't know are fan fox, sushi dog, and mantibab. thank youuuuu ^_^

Transclosedspecies/Closed species kin!

For when you identify as/kin a creature/animal that is part of a closed species!

Feel free to edit this flag however you like to make it more specific to a particular closed species! I’m not well versed in them so I only made the “default” or “umbrella” flag

i used to be so excited for the crederia arpg, i always loved the species (not just babs) but the hype is just slowly melting away. i know phloxe says he's going to adjust the payout of coins potentially but atm it takes 80 fullbodies for one fully common mantibab lmao. 1 rare trait is 20 fullbodies... and those are only for prompts, submitting art you did for fun rewards even less... (only ONE coin)

not to mention the overall restrictions of babs, the color rules are no fun to play with, as well as restrictions behind markings which really kneecaps you making a bab you'd actually like.

that on top of other things, like some traits outright being stated that they are unobtainable, as in you flat out can't have them, it just doesn't sound fun anymore.

My mantibab >:3 a species by phloxebutt over on deviantart

I'm really happy with how this came out. I originally designed them to have different markings on his sides so I need to make a new reference.

[ymanimonart]

Some drawings for @/Xe-Li on DA. First two are of her impim and the last one is of her mantibab (both are closed species) 

If you’re interested in purchasing art like this, DM me and we’ll settle on a price! ^^
