Creature Suggestion: Doekit

blackivy25 • 17 March 2021 at 8:08 PM

Hiya! This is my first real creature suggestion! The Doekit, would be a teal fox like creature with deer antlers in-between its ears. In the later stages I thought about adding multiple tails. I need some help drawing it though, I might be able to provide a couple pictures for a general idea of the creature. Thank you for any help, suggestions or overall comments! And I encourage you all to vote in the poll, your one vote could be the deciding factor!

Art colab with @Purple17

About Doekit Eggs

Doekit eggs are generally very soft, with a fur-like fuzz coating everywhere but the golden coin atatched to one side of the egg.

About the Doekit

Doekits are very soft and fluffy creatures, although the very odd gold rings that encircle the tail are anything but soft. The rings are made of the same material as the Doekits large antlers. They, like their distant cousins the Unisths live among the fae. Unlike their cousins they tend to only be kept by the wealthiest of the fae. Doekits are very valued among the fae because the their loyalty is as rare as the gold rings that encircle their tails. You will find that only the kindest of the fairies will give them as gifts.

@blackivy25 just from this description - I already want one.

blackivy25 • 17 March 2021 at 8:34 PM

@Sapphire12 Thats really good! Do you know anyone who draws creature suggestions?

sapphire12 • 17 March 2021 at 8:35 PM

@blackivy25 @purple17 (?) Perhaps

purple17 • 17 March 2021 at 8:44 PM

@sapphire12 @blackivy25 Thanks for pinging me! This creature suggestion honestly looks right up my alley, but I'm astonishingly terrible at getting anything done in a reasonable amount of time. If you don't mind waiting, I'll love to draw it for you!

blackivy25 • 17 March 2021 at 8:54 PM

@Purple17 Don't mind waiting at all! Would you like me to right up an 'about this egg' type thing while you do that?

purple17 • 17 March 2021 at 8:58 PM

@blackivy25 That'll be wonderful! Are there any specific features or a specific general feel you want the creature to have?

blackivy25 • 17 March 2021 at 9:06 PM

@Purple17 I really like the design concept of the Fourbon and Kalown with antlers like the Meysko maybe?

purple17 • 17 March 2021 at 9:12 PM

@blackivy25 Got it! ❤️

Nice! Good idea!

@blackivy25
So, it's been a literal week, but it's done! https://www.deviantart.com/pthalogreenie/art/Creature-Suggestion-The-Doekit-874417429

If you have any suggestions or feel the need to make alterations as to any colors/features, please tell me! It's easy enough to change colors around or add little things to the lineart, and though I'm satisfied with this current drawing, I also feel like it's missing something and I can't quite put my finger on it. Also kinda deviated a bit from your original design concept, whoops

Oooh! I gots a ping! TY @sapphire12 !

@blackivy25 @purple17

Just to get the nitpicky out of the way... The description will have to have something that clearly differentiates it from the the Icenyro (since 'white fox with horns' could refer to either.) Though the artwork is already doing a good job of that. (Beautiful job Purple!!) (Maybe these could be forest/Coldworld/mountain cousins of the Icenyros?)

but OOOH!!!! I can never have enough foxies!!!

I love the concept art the way it is, but playing off the name Doekit, what does anyone think about two hooves or more clearly pronounced spots? (I'd prefer no, but it was just an idea.)

@purple17 @blackivy25 That's beautiful ;0; I need it now!

blackivy25 • 27 March 2021 at 2:30 PM

@Purple17 My device wont pull up the link- And to everyone that has posted, thank you, really ❤️

Edit: @Purple17 Ok, picked up link! I absolutely love it, but could we turn the blue into a darker periwinkle color?

purple17 • 28 March 2021 at 11:48 AM

@izziedragon @sapphire12 @snowywinter @distorted Thanks so much ❤️

@blackivy25
Glad I did it justice!
The blue does kinda flatten it out a bit. Is what you had in mind something like this? https://www.deviantart.com/pthalogreenie/art/20210328-114124-874600823

blackivy25 • 28 March 2021 at 4:33 PM

@Purple17 Yes! Although I do feel that it's missing something, I can't quite tell what

purple17 • 28 March 2021 at 4:40 PM

@blackivy25 I haven't colored in the eyes, horns, and rings yet because I couldn't figure out what color they should be or if they should just be left white. Maybe that's it?

blackivy25 • 28 March 2021 at 4:41 PM

@Purple17 I kinda like them white, but what if we added spots of some sort?

purple17 • 28 March 2021 at 4:45 PM

@blackivy25 like some kind of pattern or design on the fur?

blackivy25 • 28 March 2021 at 4:53 PM

@Purple17 Maybe? Something like that

purple17 • 28 March 2021 at 7:04 PM

@blackivy25 new link! https://www.deviantart.com/pthalogreenie/art/20210328-185252-874640023

snowywinter • 29 March 2021 at 2:10 AM

Re: Spots / Pattern
@blackivy25
@purple17

Perhaps a row of spots on the final stage something reminiscent of the rows on a Sika deer?

blackivy25 • 29 March 2021 at 5:42 PM

@Purple17 Yes!! Absolutely loving it.

Edit: Oops... I was looking and found a similar creature called the Nym... Should we do something?

purple17 • 29 March 2021 at 6:05 PM

@blackivy25 Thank you!!

izziedragon • 29 March 2021 at 6:20 PM

@purple17
@blackivy25 Didn't consider the similarity to the nym... probably why I like it tbh. I think it might just be different enough to pass though

Perhaps they're a cousin species?

Also we could go back to the original idea of a white creature, change up the color scheme.

blackivy25 • 29 March 2021 at 6:53 PM

@Izziedragon True.... But, with the white color as Snowywinter stated with the white coloring it could be considered to much like the Icenyro. Maybe we could shift to a teal color scheme?

sapphire12 • 29 March 2021 at 6:59 PM

@izziedragon @blackivy25 i saw the nym similarity but i think it should be different enough + an equally pretty / more affordable "nym" would probably be appreciated lol

Dark teal or eyleymo teal?

Maybe it's story would give you an idea what it's colour scheme should be: where it lives, when and how it came to be on eggcave etc?

blackivy25 • 29 March 2021 at 7:00 PM

@Sapphire12 Maybe a darker teal for the main color and a lighter for the stripes?
