Hey, hey you. Yes, you. You like trolls right? Maybe a cherub once in a while? Theres a new thing but this isn't about any of those.
Lookit these, I made them, they're not any of those things. These are thrones, they're a fanspecies.
There's a lot of fanspecies out there. Most of them I didn't make. That's fine though because I already know about the ones I made.
I want to hear about the ones you made. Tell me about your fanspecies please please please please please.
Haven't drawn them yet, but I'm working on a fishy species that live on the planet Xiphactinus and its moon, Gillicus. Xiphactinus is a mostly water planet with sparse islands and continents, and Gillicus is Space Britain™. Instead of a hemospectrum Xiphactians and Gillicans dislike each other despite being the same species. Xiphactians just thing that living on a land-based celestial body is for wimps, and vice versa. They also get colonized by some trolls. Figures.
I have a drawing of the planet itself, though.
r3Ad my slOp!!! https://mspfa.com/?s=63750&p=1
there were a few used by an old rp group of mine I wish I knew where most of that stuff went. The easiest remnant I can find is art of a character of an axolotl based species I made back in 2014 on tumblr. iirc it was a collaborative thing and each person got to design a (sub?)species for a specific biome... She was the princess of the underwater kingdom and used magic bubbles to travel outside of the water.... I remember them being very peaceful and idealistic to contrast someone else's more aggressive species..
I gotta dig around some more for this stuff
I love dwarves!!
Specifically, Dwergari, my original species, I really enjoy working on and I have a HUGE world built for them.
I used to have an MSPFA featuring dwarves, but it's since gone inactive, although I intend to bring another one into existence solely focusing on them and their world.
They hail from planet Ivaldi, a world split up into 4 continents with different kinds of climates, and each continent containing some kind of magical artifact which the dwarves use in their everyday technology. Although their world is quite fantasy-adjacent, they themselves don't really use magic directly and are more like artificers; creating objects that are imbued with ethereal elements that they can use. You'd see a dwarf taking a flamethrower into battle before you ever see one casting a spell lol.
I definitely plan to update their entry in the Fanspecies wiki but for now, it's fun to work on them in my own time and I hope they can turn out to be one of my most developed fictional species I've ever worked on.
Excited to see what other species people here post about too!!
I've got a few! Phosphors, Lumith, Cheshire, Nycteris, Psiikhe, Wolpasters, Crocottas, Raymefah, Wight, and Molluskin!
Here's an example of a phosphor! I'd post images of all my other species but i don't want to take up too much space and it won't let me put the images right next to each other ^^;
Can't wait to see/hear about other people's species!
re: Tzubo
I'm love how both the planet and the moon probably have the same area of landmass, just different amounts of water. when you have a look for the species I'd love to see :3
re: Autumn
Same with you!! If you can find anything about them please update because that sounds really fun! I'm late getting to the fanspecies scene (started actually making a community for us in 2020) so I missed out on a lot of Early Fandom fanspecies.
"Completely Wrong Game" is still a good read despite being inactive, and Lepio's also got a fanspecies adventure I recommend, "As It Was Ordained?"
Realized i could just make a compilation image of all my species so here's that. I'd go back an edit my original post but i don't see an edit button anywhere 😔
First row: Phosphor, Lumith, Nycteris, Cheshire
Second row: Psiikhe, Wolpaster twins, Crocotta
Third row: Raymefah, Wight, Molluskin
Here are my drows.
(The base is free to use btw, if it’s crunched up, blame my ipad. let me know.)
I’m gonna need to post about my sirens and faespr here but I’m tired and unable to formulate my thoughts in a proper manner.
