ALT Both species are a part of my speculative evolution project, are not to be taken as illustrations of real extinct or living animals. Both are completely made up.
ALT This sprite depicts an artistic representation of an extinct species of viverridae by the name of Vishnuictis Durandi. Or, what it might've looked if it never went extinct within the lore frame of my project and its ecology. The real animal was a lot smaller than the horse-sized proto-kitty I imagined it as.
ALT It's WIP, love him a lot though
ALT This birb is a pigeon sized pterosaur called Common Brushtail, or Burstahali Campylognathoides (Bursta - brush, Hali - taol; translated from old icelandic They were named such because of the brush-like protofeathers at the tip of their tails, which could be used as actual brushes if harvested correctly. Brushtails are semi-domesticated animals, used for transporting letters from village to village by the natives. They are omnivorous insectivores, feeding on many bugs and other smaller fauna like tiny lizards, snake hatchlings, etc, as well as various fruits. It is completely made up, and even though I put it into Campylognathoides - an actual genus of pterosaurs from Germany, it has no relation to any real animals, alive or extinct.
ALT This is a draft page for the upcoming bestiary that will contain more species and their description, as well as height/size comparison to the holotype of a native sapient race. Drawing mistakes include: The vestigial little fingers should be on the back of the leg, and not how I drew them on the sides. The X-ray like sketch of the leg is accurate, but the drawn sprite is not and will be re-drawn or edited in the future. As well as their height, the male Jorgaupa would only reach around 180-90 meters at shoulders, while females usually come around 170-185 meters. Otherwise, I have no more commentaries regarding anatomy errors for this piece. So, ignore the weird legs and over-estimated size.
ALT A variation of pattern, this coat color is called Reykr Auga, or in translation from old icelandic (or norse) - Smoke Eye. These are more rare and could be found in more northern parts of their home continent.
ALT This one is based on my horse!! His name was Baluu and he was the best boy I could've had on my riding journey. I learned a lot from his stubborn character and he became dear to me. Sadly he was sold away by the club I attended, so I can't see him anymore... But I will forever remember him as my little baby boy. As for species pattern variation it doesn't have much of a reason other than the same reason buckskin horses exist.
ALT This pattern does not naturally occur in the wild, being a result of selective breeding. It is more often than not common in southern, drier areas.
