#eldemore

Those horses were so cunty

There was also the Elkrin litter made to look like horses that I hoarded like a madman

And lest we forget!!!!

We're wrapping up Fantasy February and moving into our themed March! But before we dive into it, March has to grace us with Yet Another Horse as well as the first Seasonals! There are three of these seasonal creatures at the start of each season. Spring is... probably the most wholesome of the four.

57. Polar Bear + Owl Bear

Bears! And be honest, which one are you more afraid to encounter in the wilds? I mean owl bears are scary and all, but... polar bears are desperate. But for right now, they're hanging out! How wholesome and sweet of them. Don't worry, the owl bear isn't sizing you up...

58. The Glitch Ancient

I had to do at least one Eldemore ancient, and it was a no-brainer for me to choose Snafu! I love so many of the ancient designs, but a glitchy chaos creator? We love a glitchy chaos creator. I even gave it an Even Longer tail, because apparently that's what I do. I never got this one in the game, but some things stay on your wishlist forever...

59. Phoenix

We're ending Fantasy Feb with a phoenix! It's fitting, isn't it? The symbol of rebirth, right at the end... (and also maybe because March is just going to kinda be Fantasy Part 2: The Others) It's also what ended Eldemore, funnily enough. A chain of phoenixes, and then silence... But the ashen phoenix is cool! One of my favorites, even with how hard it is to choose.

60. Horse

It is Horse Day and I did a Horse. This is horse number... 5? I think? And it's finally just a plain ol horse, no wings no flash no stripes no abilities. But it is a mouse dun! I love that mousey grey color, and I love a good overo, so here we are. And we also have to ask the crushing question... Am I secretly a horse girl because wtf is happening??

61. Starlight Deer

I redid this one's head and legs very last minute. And by last minute I mean, like... the night before this is posted. I wasn't happy with it, but I like this a lot more! I might hate it again later, but by then it'll be too late. That's how you beat perfectionist brain! But I do love my little starlight deer. Then again, I love any excuse to use that star-point brush. I like stars, okay?

62. Suchoptera

We've got hints of spinosaurus, we've got hints of crocodillians, we've got wings... what's there not to love? This one has always been hard to have references for, but I like how it spanned out! And self-shoutout for being able to fit both the wings and the sail in while keeping everything visible. But man that was a lot of spots...

63. Devil's Day Gecko

It's a day gecko... but spoooky! Well, not that spooky. It's just got a little devil horns marking on it's forehead. And this one in particular is gonna be colored like candy, so... maybe still not the most intimidating. But it's just a little glowy guy! So we'll excuse it.

I don’t care what you guys will grow into, I want to hoard all of you! You precious little nature-y lovelies *o*

I also adore Eldemore’s Pride Month slipslop. It’s a rather simple design but that’s exactly why I love it.

Spoiler Alert: I have never played this site called “Eldemore”, not even back in 2014. If anyone tells you that I did, they are not correct/truthful.

Apparently Acitius staff are claiming that back in 2014, I tried pawning off a bunch of other Acitius users’ custom pets without notice/permission. I am not a fucking idiot to try pawning off what’s not mine for a quick virtual buck. Not to mention, I only know about “Eldemore” now because of the accusation.

This accusation has only arose after 3 years??? because of Elliott stealing a design, as you can read here, and me being vocal about it because yes, hello, no one’s characters are safe anymore on a site that had a pretty good set-up for roleplayers. Haunt was not happy about Elliott’s actions, so not only are Acitius staff giving a big fuck you to the real owner of the design who is Titania at Verpets, but to Haunt as the original designer/artist.

I looked up Eldemore because I thought “maybe I played” but I knew for damn certain I’d never sold things that were not mine. I’ve never seen this site before. Not the pets, not the layout, none of it. I don’t even like those hatch-and-grow adoptables sites like Eldemore appears to be -- I tried Squiby back in early high school years and that is the most of my experience with them. I really didn’t like Squiby, the whole genre is a turn-off for me. (Okay I might have briefly tried Pokemon ones too but only because they were Pokemon. They didn’t stick either.)

So no, the Eldemore/Acitius character thief was not me. I’m not even sure how to even prove that because literally, I have never even been on that site until less than 30 minutes ago.

I would have been 19 at the time too -- I was way too busy with graduating high school and also doing some college classes at the same time because I wanted to up my game. (Okay but my game wasn’t that good. I fell flat on my face in the college courses.) But by 19 years old, I was very aware that theft is not okay, not physically and not digitally.

It's... a very feathery week. In fact, it's an all-flight week, now that I look at it. Except for the streeler. But it is mimicking something that flies, so... that counts? Either way, we're really getting into Fantasy February now!

36. Monarch Butterfly + Streeler

It's the western migration for monarch butterflies! And while the process of a widely-migrating insect over generations with an innate knowledge of where to go and exactly when is magical... we must remember that my list is very long and the month only has 28 days. So! I added a streeler! I think they'd be friends.

37. Hippogriff

Oh no, another horse! Well, half-horse, but it still counts. It's a hippogriff! And I absolutely fell in love with the look of melanistic barn owls (I love color morphs, always), so that'll be the inspiration for the coloration! Even if an animal isn't on my list, it's still kinda on my list, you know?

38. Thunderbird

Years and years ago, I painted a thunderbird in my friend's house as a way to pass time. I took it home, intending to finish up the lovely Arizona background... I did not. But I did do the design, and that's what this one is based off of! It's more secretary-bird inspired than based, but I still really like this one.

39. Swooping Evil

Listen, the swooping evil is cool. I love an animal with a skull face. A recipe for cool. So, naturally, it made the list. I might play around with different colors, though. Maybe like a purple butterfly moment? That's an idea I just had while typing. Actually remembering it later? Unlikely.

40. Peryton

It's fantasy, we've gotta do a peryton. They're precious babies, I swear. But this is the exact reason why I have a bunch of random animals (mostly birds) saved to my phone. So I can get inspiration for a random beast! I've never seen a cuckoo before this. But it's perfect.

41. Monstrous Nightmare

Of course I've got HTTYD dragons on here, come on. And we're starting with a special one! This is my starter dragon from that old School of Dragons game, which I aptly named Skylah (because blue). I yearn for an open-world type dragon game. Let me tame dragons! And hoard them, like a... dragon!

42. Humming Bumble

Eldemore inclusion! I've got a few of these, actually! Man, I miss Eldemore. Great lore, great creatures, great story... I am solidly part of the Waiting-for-Eldemore-to-Come-Back Party (it's not... not possible?) Until then, I've got a few of their creatures coming up for Fantasy Feb! Starting with some little guys! The (almost) littlest guys, in fact!
