Going On A Limb Here, another digo/avatar suggestion Options

[Cannabiscuit]

hello, furcadians.

well, as we all know there's hardly any reptilian/scaley creatures on furcadia aside from nagas, dragons, kirins.. and idk does the orochimodo count?

a lot of argument i hear for this reasoning is because it's not part of furc's continuity to have lizardpeople or birdpeople (but i guess toasters and pillows are ok), because they are lesser species?

either way, i took some time to make a species. YES it IS inspired by the koopas from mario. NO, this would not constitute as copyright infringement, as more than 10% has been changed including the name, clothing, and several physical features.

species name: could be toytile, monstzard, reptille, or WHATEVER. just not koopas, obviously.

i took the liberty to draw a concept piece: http://i.imgur.com/9ZeYK.png
ref of a koopa for comparison, you'll notice what's been changed: http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/oo269/K...wserfists-1.jpg

i figure a "mythical" and its features could either be wings, breathing fire or withdrawing into its shell, or a larger/meaner looking version (a were-version).

yeah i'm just spewing ideas. if you like where i'm going with this i'd love to hear some feedback or other suggestions, and let me know if you like it because i'm considering making a version of it for my dream at least. (:

Due to the similarity and the fact that it IS still a bastardized koopa, it likely wouldn't fly. And were a reptile anthro to be added one day, chances are it would be more lizard-like to incorporate as many types of reptiles as possible (as the canine was meant to include dogs/goxes/wolves, and so on).

To me, it still looks a lot like a Koopa.

Oooooh, it does look like a koopa but it's still cute! I'd buy one!

Can't see it happening any time soon, but you could always make it into a cute local!

It looks like a turtle... really... that's all bowser is... a turtle...

Perhaps without the shell? It really does look just like a koopa, regardless of what details have been changed.

I do agree that we need a free lizard avatar of some sort though.

if any of you play LoL you'd know there's a champion with a spiked shell.

they also have a pay-to-use skin called "king rammus" which is bowser colors.

but the character is not a koopa, despite having a spikey shell. it looks similar, bastardized, whatever words you want to use, but it's still not a koopa. that's like saying furc's nagas look like wow's nagas, which is also true, but they were inspired.

i'm just saying there's a small margin between what is considered stealing an idea and taking inspiration out of it. no, i don't think this is original whatsoever, but it's a favorable character design and species, especially in the fandom.

ps: turtles are reptiles and have shells, so why not just make some hybridized reptile creature, since we made panookis and ottifets already?
