Not an Occelot

Cersca

A new old sophont :)

This species has been around in my setting for a while, just without any kind of solid anatomy or lore. I've workshopped it a bit for a proper introduction, though to be honest the design is a bit too complicated for one of the big graphics like I did for the rausliers, so this is all ya get for now...

I realized this week that Tsyprucee has two moons therefore extreme tidal variation and seasons. Wolfmen live by the coast but they didn't look they did so I fixed it. They now have longer front limbs and are generally a lot more heron like.

Here are some of the main bodytypes from the main regions they are native to. There are exceptions to these like Caou wolfmen being costal but generally very bulky and some inland groups being slender. Polar individuals have no scales on their limbs for better heat retention.

Y'all can have some unreleased Chenesht outfits. As a treat. [Nhâchchech, Chlâsle, Lhbore, Fenhêalch, Ôernh.]

This was intended to be a full series but I never finished it.

These guys are called Dragons in universe due to their hexapodal bauplan and them being the only sophonts capable of flight. No official colors for them yet so you are free to suggest stuff if you want!

Don't have much developed about them yet aside from the way they speak. Their speech itself is very flat emotionally. It's just a series of chirping and calling (similar to the sounds of a California Quail) that only imparts the actual words. In order to get the emotion and tone of their speech across, Dragons use small dose pheromone releases to emit a Scent (indicating emotional state) and wave their feelers around and tap eachothers faces (indicating intended tone of sentence). Example of an interaction pictured below.

The limb grasping isn't being used as a communication device here, rather as a friendly gesture like placing your hand on someone's shoulder.

Bonus noncanon art with @brothermanwill 's Wyvara cause we were talking about dragons and he drew something cute which inspired this

Saw some pictures of hooded crows playing in the snow and wanted to redraw them as silly little dromaeosaurs.

The pictures are under the cut!

When Bug ferrets first discovered humans

First off, thank you for the compliment! That mean so much and thank you for being interested in my work!!

Wyvara come out of the egg pretty developed. They're able to walk around and at least mostly keep up with their parents. They are mostly just, really smart cats that have a bottomless stomach that they will try to fill with anything that can fit in their mouths. They look like this!

Their arms are much larger proportionally than their adult form, lacking their iridescence and smaller ears. They use these to grab and hold onto parents during flight. But they will just grab and hold onto anything, even stuff you just hand them.

As for care, its mostly just carrying them around, feeding them small enough bites of food and making sure they don't kill themselves until they become less, instincts and more thinking person at around 2 years of age. Once they hit 2, they're wrapping their brains around talking and learning their language. From 2-4 they start growing a bit more, crest comes in as well as flight feathers. At around 5 they are put into general education. Learning just general knowledge, math, grammar, history, literature, etc. Similar to our grade school. Then at 12, they are at about 80% of their full size. Over the next few years, between 12 and 15, wyvaran schools shift from general education to specialization focus and sampling. Wyvara will sample and solidify what they find interesting and once they do, they can leave school to pursue a specialized education. Typically they will take one to two years of classes at a dedicated institution while conducting an apprenticeship.

As for child rearing specifically, wyvara are a lot more communal that we are. In modern wyvaran society, as described in the hygiene/showering post, the floor or communal home would be assist, or at least expected to, assist. As taking care of a child is a lot of responsibility, explicitly watching over them isn't asked upon lightly and repeated babysittings without any sort of reciprocation by the parents would be considered very bad mannered.
