Odenis info

Odenis overview

Odenis are a fictional species of feral dragons with western and eastern inspirations. They are sentient and usually small to medium sized on average (roughly somewhere between a horse and an elephant). 

Species standards

The features that define an Odenis are detailed in the visual guide below ("Artist's handbook"). Some noteworthy features include the following:

• Morphology: western dragon silhouette with 4 legs and 2 wings. The anatomy mixes mammalian, bird and reptilian inspirations. Deep chest, with shorter forelimbs and stronger canid-like hind limbs.

• Coverage: the body coverage includes scales, fur and feathers that are distributed on specific areas of the body, as shown on the visual guide. In particular, the bird-like wings are not covered with feathers, but with fur.

• Socle and jewel: the center of the forehead is adorned with a large, flat scale called “socle” and a small, smooth jewel embedded in the socle. The size, shape and colors of both the socle and jewel make a large part of each Odenis’ identity. The jewel may glow when magic is used.

• Wing membranes: each wing elbow is connected to the body via a membrane (not unlike bat wing membranes), covered in thin fur. The membrane sits on top of the feathers and tenses up during flight, closing the gap between the feathers and the body. The gap becomes visible when the membrane relaxes.

While all Odenis share these characteristics, they all look different from one another thanks to their individual traits. The number and rarity of these traits may influence a design's value.

Creation and adoption

If you wish to adopt an Odenis, make sure you agree with all the terms listed in the closed species terms of use further below.

There are three ways to acquire an official Odenis character:

• "Original": Buy an original design that was premade by Amayensis. Designs up for adoption will first be available for purchase on my Patreon, and then on my Ko-Fi shop!

• "Custom": Commission Amayensis for a custom Odenis design based on the traits and colors of your choice.

• "Model": Draw an Odenis concept yourself or have another artist draw a concept, then commission Amayensis to turn this model into an official Odenis. The model has to meet specific criteria to be acceptable.

To create an Odenis (Custom or Model types), you will need to choose its traits among the available ones in the Trait guidelines. 

Terms of use - closed species

These terms cover what you are allowed or not allowed to do with the Odenis design(s) you own.

Last update: November 2024

Ownership

1. All Odenis and commissions related to them (including new design cards and design card edits) are subjected to my Terms of Service and habitual commission status. Commissioning me and/or adopting an Odenis implies that you agree with both my ToS and the present terms of use of the species.

2. Odenis cannot be used for commercial purposes. You are not allowed to make profit off Odenis designs (such as using them for a brand, prints etc). You are also not allowed to make profit by reselling an Odenis design for a higher price than what you bought it for. 

3. You may make art or have others make art of your Odenis, create a reference sheet for them, give them a backstory, a personality, an aspect, powers, etc. 

4. When purchasing or commissioning an Odenis design from Amayensis, the client will receive the HD file of the design card. You must keep this HD file private. For public sharing, only use the watermarked version.

Design authenticity

1. Every authentic Odenis design has its design card recorded in the masterlist. Any Odenis design or concept that is not in the masterlist is not legitimate.

2. It is your responsibility to check whether a design is legitimate or not before buying or trading.

Obtainment 

1. Only Amayensis, the closed species' creator, may produce, give and sell new Odenis designs. 

2. Other artists are allowed to make concepts for Odenis designs in the context of "Model" design creations, but these concepts cannot be considered official until their card has been made and added to the masterlist by Amayensis.

3. While commissioning an Odenis design, the client is allowed to suggest traits or trait variants that are not currently offered in the trait guidelines. However the species creator (Amayensis) reserves the right to refuse any trait, trait variant, or trait customization if they aren't considered fit for the species. Note that what is considered acceptable or not may also change with time (what used to be accepted/forbidden may not always stay that way).

Reselling and trading

1. You are allowed to resell an Odenis design for a price lower or equal to the current value of the design, as recorded on the masterlist. If the current value is higher than what you bought the design for, you cannot sell it for a higher price than what you bought it for.

2. You may sell your Odenis for more than its current value only if commissioned artworks are attached to it. Price appropriately.

3. You may trade Odenis characters if you wish. Regardless of what it has been traded for (except money), a trade sets a design's current value to zero.

4. Please notify Amayensis whenever you have sold or traded an Odenis to keep the masterlist up to date, by providing the ID and name of the design, the name of the new owner, and the reselling price if applicable.
