Looking for some advice

Journal Entry: Fri Jan 6, 2012, 4:59 AM
Yeeee, I love this journal editor hehe. Okay, as if that wasn't totally off topic, lets go onto what I needed some advice with xD

Would you people enjoy it more if I changed the species of the characters in Albasia? Wolves are all good and fine, but geez they ain't half overrated and to be quite frank, they are pretty boring to draw over and over lol. I was thinking of keeping Ven as a wolf (and his father, naturally... who is dead, but still... plus this could mean Ven is some type of werewolf, which would explain his ability to turn into a human) because I do love his wolf form, and making the other characters into something that would make sense according to their elements. So, Semba could be a gryphon, Bastion could be a dragon, I'm not sure about Syrin, I am thinking some type of leviathon (kinda like this: [link], and I'm not sure about Natura either. Of course this means I would have to redo page 5, but that's fine by me.

Here's the current characters designs to refresh your memory:


Think this would be a good idea? Would it be more interesting than just plain woofs?

interesting thing, hmmmm.

I guess it would expand the differences and that's all way's good and all...

it would work so I'd say if you want to go for it.

(I can't see bastion as a dragon, so it would be interesting to see)

Just the idea of duplicity would be pretty neat :) I admit, the wolf thing is very overrated, and to see different designs could do the story good. Just in opinion that is, it just seems like a good idea.

I think changing them would be a good idea wolves are terribly over used and theirs only so many poses you can draw them in until it becomes the same re hashed poses. Maybe a few of them could be horses?

Yeah, that's another point... I got bored of the limited poses of having all of the same species :P If it's boring for me to draw, I assume it might get boring for people to look at after a while.

Yeah. ^_^; Or you could have a contest of who can come up with the most creative species? Just a though. :)

Seems this different creatures idea seems pretty popular (Even though it just got brought up), but I believe the idea of a mythical place that's invisible to humans would make sense to be governed by mythical creatures is just cool, as it could explain some history, like the human myths. I know you mentioned that you didn't exactly want unicorns as that might be overdoing it, but it could be an idea for Natura. As much as I like Natura's original lupine design, having her be more closely related to the earth elemental might make readers sense a connection that may not be there if you get my drift. Of course, there's another reason I like the idea of the unicorn but can't say it here for possible spoilers, but if it tickles your fancy I'll send you a note about it.
