New Character~ ♥

Song~ "Kyrie Eleison"

Well, you know there are two butterfly pelts. And so I just wanted to do a moth deer, because I actually like them more... Cuz moths are warm and fuzzy. ;u; Anyways.... I was so excited to have stumbled onto this song, I had forgotten about it completely. I remember when I was little, second grade I think, I went to a Christian school and I tried out for the choir, and this was one of the songs we sang. I really liked it and thought it was pretty, but that's about as far as my seven year old mind went. Now that I haven't heard it in so long and all, I think I can truly appreciate it. It wasn't a Catholic school, and I'm not Catholic, (I'm Presbyterian) but I don't think it really matters does it? It shouldn't anyways. (:

Name- Placidus or Plecidus... I haven't decided.
Age- Timeless
Language- Latin
Voice- The audio clip. (: A deep vibrating hum, and it often sounds like many voices. Typed, it would be in some green color...

Physical:
-Big thick mane, made of long whispy feathers
-Short velvet textured fur, like moth wings.
-Feathering around feet
-Ears are very sensitive
-Uses a bit of echolocation
-Small hooves, you can scarcely
hear them even when at full gallop.
-Fallow Deer-ish size
-Antlers are those of a Fallow Deer
-Rounded back
-Large thick oval body
-Not chubby like Atticus though, no excess. He's pretty solid.
-Long thin legs
-Glows slightly

Personality:
-Wise
-Graceful
-Peaceful
-Calm
-Truthful
-Gentle
-Thoughtful
-Enjoys the stillness of night
-Though is still drawn to glowing
objects like lanps, candles, and the moon

I'll eventually come up with his human version ^^

And, just for fun... In case you don't know much about them, moths aren't just little brown dusty things. They come in a wide range of colors, sizes, and shapes. Here are a few examples ~

Luna Moth The most popular or well known most likely. This is the one my deer is based off of.
Comet Moth Said to be the most beautiful. A lot like Lunas. (: ♥
Atlas Moth The biggest. The kind that fights godzilla. lol
Regal, Royal Walnut Moth It's orange and fuzzy. <3
Leopard Moth It's a Dalmatian! lol
Ceanothus Moth A silk moth I think.
Rosy Maple Moth IT'S PINK.
Unknown white one See? Look how cute he is! :3
Crazy Orange Moth He's got poodle feet! xD ROFL
Bunny Moth Dis one looks like a bunny. ;3;

Ho my god. Silver, you've

Ho my god. Silver, you've done it again.

This is so interesting. He looks cute too! I'm loving the greens a lot. The lighter on the dark reminds me of the veins in leaves.

*stalks*

Love the picture and the concept ♥

Oh gosh. That's too adorable!

Oh gosh. That's too adorable! /squee/ This character looks and sounds really interesting. Oh, and I think I'm in love with that white moth, omigosh. ♥♥♥

Um, Silverbells...I hate to

Um, Silverbells...I hate to be a spoil sport but you can't have a character this awesome.
If we let you have something this awesome then everyone else will want an awesome original character design and we can't-have-that-now-can-we!?

Wow, this character concept

Wow, this character concept is awesome, I love moths! :')
I tried to find an old photograph I had taken of a moth once - it looked like the Leopard moth, but I'm not sure if it was - but I couldn't find it. :c

The Death head moth is my favorite though. ♥ /end babble

GORGEOUS. I love moth

GORGEOUS. I love moth designs. I really love hawk moths.. a lot of them don't have pretty designs, but they're just.. so all over the place. The hummingbird hawk moths in my yard are so fun, and relatively tame. xD

Raindrops- AH KNAW. The little white is toooo sweet >3<

Terabetha- ... ;n; *runs to plecidus and wraps arms in fur* Nooooooooooo! D'x *kicks and screams* xD

Silensia- :3 <33333333333333

SnowSauria- Thanks! Yeah the Deaths Head moths are crazy. O__o If I was a bird or something, I would NOT try to eat one of those. xD

Kaoori- The hummingbird ones are pretty awesome, they so could pass as the bird at first glance. And yeah moths do seem to be pretty tame, more so than butterflies. I found a Luna Moth on a tree when I was kid, first time I had ever seen one. I exspected it to dash off when I got close... But it just sat there, and let me pick it up and it walked on my arms, before slowly gliding away. ♥ OuO

Baal- rofl Yessssssssssssssssssss MOTHS! :- D hahaha Thank you! <3

I believe you just send it to

I believe you just send it to reception(at)tale-of-tales(dot)com with a title like "Pelt Design Suggestion" or something similar. I think Miss Laura Raines Smith, their animator, would love to see this.


((Hey Bells, could I ask you to try a Koi fish design? >.< Been obsessed lately and I wanna see someone with great art come up with something for the forest))

Goddd this...really jumped out at me, this is so utterly amazing. I've always loved your work but you've really outdone yourself this time, I'm completely head over heels for this. Thank you so much for posting it. It's not the easiest thing to fit a rabbit-esque head into a design like this and have it work so well.


ALSO, BUNNY MOTH AT THE BOTTOM ~<333333333
