Holy shit. That witch design reminds me of old forum mmos like gaia online, where you can get an avatar that's just disgustingly layered in accessories.

I would love the opportunity to pick the brain of someone willing to drop multiple grand on a gross chibi fox doodle, and see what makes them tick.

Honestly, probably the same reason people buy Gucci and Supreme. Name alone.

One of the things I like doing is tracing inspirations back through time to see where they originate. Now, you'd expect the people who buy these to be millennial women with zero financial sense. Whoever came up with the idea of inventing fantasy creatures online as a community pioneered them on forums. An early, quintessential example would be the Draekard roleplays from 1999. Unlike established works of fiction, roleplaying is fiction that is spontaneously generated, ephemeral, and becomes lost to time without archives. And most roleplayers do not regard their work as important enough to archive it for all eternity.

So roleplaying content from the 2000s is a particularly elusive fragment of internet culture that exists mainly in the form of patchwork archives and word of mouth. I suspect that these "creature roleplays" were inspired by the anime of that time, particularly Pokemon, mixed with Disney animation and the Warrior Cats novels. So as fan communities revolving around creating fictional creatures grew, Pokemon fangirls and fanboys left their mark on the internet, inspiring things like Neopets, which in turn inspired open, then closed species.

In Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Funny Valentine demonstrates the importance of "taking the first napkin", because that means your actions in one field will define the actions of others in the future in said field. These millennial fanboys, who stood on the threshold of analogue and digital, western and eastern culture, took the first napkin, and defined internet culture. And the most amazing thing was was how impartially they did it.

Everything was unintentional and spontaneous. Their impassioned adolescent brainfarts were to define what path future artists would take in the future. Unfortunately what began as innocent artistic passion mutated into arbitration and greed. They took a culture founded on authenticity, and dragged real life into it. I've seen very little of this phenomenon covered, but there's a neocities website that attempts to revive the soul of early 2000s creature roleplaying.

Ok, so hello everyone! Today, I'd like to introduce you to Elnins!

Created by Manaberry, they are a race of psychic/magical fox things. They come in a variety of colors and designs but they all keep the same body type.
View attachment 1433998View attachment 1434000

Now, Elnins are fairly standard as far as species goes, not even very special. But the thing is, Mana has a bad habit of overcrowding her designs. She can draw very well but she's absolutely terrible at moderation. Most Elnins who are bred and both have busy looking parents come out looking like they rolled in paint.

Here is an example of one of her busier designs:View attachment 1434002Fun fact, this design also sold for 5000$.
Her fan base will easily drop grands for this species. Especially those in the higher castes. Elnins have social tiers based on lineage and attributes.

Mana also has no problem leaching money from her followers and ripping off anime in the process. This design, for example, is based on KNY and sold for 7000$, if I remember correctly.

Next, let's discuss her Patreon. She advertises it as a way to get an Elnin easier, which usually sell out in seconds. That is not true. She will raffle off the right to buy an Elnin, though I am unsure if she is still doing that since raffles are against the guidelines now. Furthermore, if you win a baby Elnin, called a Kittom, you have to pay to grow it up. You also have to draw/write your kittom doing random things to qualify for the rank you buy.

All in all, Mana has made enough from her species to buy a house. For something so simple, its a little sad people will spend more than most people make in a month for something they can't even hold.

A few random links:
The Master list
Her patreon, where she makes almost 1k a month.


I just thought this would be a good entry.

Oh, so it’s just the loli race from TERA Online but with extra steps.

I can feel the phantom pain from overworking on one design alone. How often does she even pump out these things anyway? The less often she produces them the rarer they come by.

Elins. Little girls that have a connection to nature (thus the animal ears and tail), and never age, because they're born from some kind of spring of youth or something.

I mean I get that but I'm not seeing the connection besides the animal parts.

Here's a very "original" cs i found in a petsite called lioden. I present: Soffets

Ngl, i think its cute but when you start calling a ferret with a snake mouth "original", i think you have a problem.

It would have been okay atleast if they profit with ingame currency but the owner auction some in usd and its ridiculous when the base is the same all the time.

Oh god Lioden is notorious for having artists that charge waaaay too much for their doodles. Haven't been on the site in a while because it gets boring as fuck but I remember artists on the forums asking for hundreds for art that I wouldn't even sell for $15.

Also that thing is basically the pokemon Furret with a snake tongue.

And people/kids buy them because "they cute and all uwu". I did a little digging and the owner is somewhat of a bitch in tumblr so im not even surprise. Even they acknowledged their cs as "cashgrab".
That i agree. Anyways, lioden is a great hunting ground for lazy cs. I will find more of em.
 
I don't know if these count since I thought these are interesting they're basically humans mixed with fish DNA, and It saddens me that this artist basically accused another artist of stealing/tracing one of her original characters hair style or something on VK and a Twitter callout post.
The artist's name is v1v404, I still like their art tbh.

And here are the prices for these closed species custom adopts:

[MYO common : 15$]
[MYO semi-mutated : 25$]
[MYO mutated : 35$]

I honestly like that the prices for these are more cheaper than the ones on this thread. I would honestly buy one, but I don't have my own credit card.

How hard is it to apply for a credit card? I got mine several years back when a credit card company had a college student card thing and I don't remember much about the process anymore. There was a time I felt like random banks mailed out cc applications to me and my siblings like candy.
