Odenis info
Odenis are a closed species created and sold by Amayensis.
"Closed species" means that no one else than the species' creator is allowed to produce and sell characters of this species.
(September 2024 news) This species is fairly new, so be aware that its information, traits, rules etc. may vary as time passes!
Odenis overview
Odenis are a fictional species of feral western dragons with some eastern dragon features. They are sentient and usually small to medium sized (roughly somewhere between a horse and an elephant). They are corporeal, but may sometimes be viewed as spirits because of their strong connection to an element or concept, called aspect.
Species standards
The following features define an Odenis:
Morphology: western dragon silhouette with a mammal-like face, long neck, deep chest, shorter forelimbs, bird-like wings and a long reptilian tail. Six limbs total, including four legs for terrestrial locomotion and two wings for flight. Forelimbs have reptilian hands that are capable of supination and prehension; hind limbs are canine-like.
Coverage: the body coverage includes scales, fur, and feathers that are distributed on specific areas of the body.
Fur covers at least the forehead and eyebrows, cheeks, back of the neck (mane), shoulders and chest, back and sides of the ribcage, wing arms, rump, back of the thighs, and back of the tail (at least partially).
Feathers are only present on the wings. The wings don't have small feather coverts, only two rows of large ones (one per side) and remiges. The primaries are pointy. The areas that would normally be covered with small feathers on real-life birds are actually covered with fur.
The rest of the body is covered with scales.
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 glows when energy is used for magic.
Dentition: the teeth are carnivorous-like. The usual dentition is made of 8 sharp fangs per quadrant, including 2 incisors and 1 canine.
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.
The Artist's Handbook below is a "species reference sheet" that you are allowed to save, post and share along with your Odenis character references (for example, on ToyHouse) or whenever you commission an artist for Odenis art. You are NOT allowed to edit this sheet or alter it in any way; only share it as-is with proper credit to Amayensis.
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 that are up for adoption can be purchased 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 Traits guidelines.
Custom design
For custom designs, you may decide which traits/colors you want for your Odenis, or you may simply give me a few directions and artistic liberty! You may also ask for a Custom design inspired by an already existing character of another species.
If you want to easily choose and communicate the traits you want for your design, you are encouraged to download the Customizable trait files and circle the desired traits instead of manually writing the name of the traits and variants in your commission order. You may also redline edits on the trait files to specify any additional customizations.
Once you have circled or listed your desired traits, and decided on the aspect(s) and colors of your design, wait for Amayensis to open her commissions to send a "Custom Odenis" commission order form (don't forget to attach the Trait files you may have completed).
If you own a proto-Odenis design (there exist 5 of them), you may claim a 30€ discount if you decide to make them into an official Custom Odenis design!
Model design
A model design is a concept art of the Odenis you want to adopt, and is made by anyone who isn't the species' creator (Amayensis). To be acceptable, a model design must meet the following criteria:
it is visually clear (the anatomy does not have to be perfectly realistic, but the color patterns must be decently clean and easy to read);
all desired traits must be present;
it includes all the following elements:
side view of the body (with inner and outer sides of the limbs visible),
dorsal/upper side of the wing,
ventral/under side of the wing,
socle and jewel close-up,
eye close-up (can be simplified).
If the design has an alt form, you must add it to the model for all the elements above. Note that commissioning an alt card is required for an Odenis to have an alt form.
You are welcome to add text on the concept to clarify some details or traits.

Last update: September 2024
Ownership
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.
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.
You may make art or have others make art of your Odenis, create a reference sheet for them, give them a backstory, etc.
Design authenticity
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.
It is your responsibility to check whether a design is legitimate or not before buying or trading.
Obtainment
Only Amayensis, the closed species' creator, may produce, give and sell new Odenis designs.
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.
The species creator (Amayensis) reserves the right to refuse any trait, trait variant, or trait customization suggested by the client for Custom or Model designs, if they aren't considered fit for the species. You recognize 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
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.
You may sell your Odenis for more than its current value only if commissioned artworks are attached to it. Price appropriately.
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.
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.
Character customizations
The look of an Odenis character is not restricted to its official design card! Here is a list of what you are allowed to do to further customize your Odenis character after it has been officialized, without asking for Amayensis' permission:
✅ You may add jewelry, clothing, armor, accessories. Styling the fur is allowed as long as the traits are still recognizable.
✅ You may add scars, injuries (broken horn...), any visual marks resulting from the character's story or development.
Note that personal additions to the design (accessories, scars) will not be reflected on the design card, but you can add them to your own reference sheet of your Odenis character if you make one.
✅ You may interpret and design your Odenis character into other species (humanoid, anthro, other feral species...) to fit different worlds and settings.
✅ You may make minor color changes on your Odenis (and/or its alt form) as long as the other traits remain the same.
Minor color changes refer to: changing the accent colors of the body, colors of the eye and jewel, horns, claws, teeth, paw pads or mucous membranes.
Minor color edits don't necessarily imply a change on the official design card (unless you commission Amayensis for a design card edit).
Please send a link of the changes to me so they can be referenced in the masterlist.
The following changes must be discussed with Amayensis before applying them:
⚠️ You must ask for Amayensis' input before changing, relocating, adding or removing traits (including the design's affinity/aspect), aside from minor color changes as specified above. This may require modifying the official card and a design card edit commission.
The price of the edit depends on the amount of work required to edit the card but also on the rarity of the newly added traits, if any (and thus the potential change of the design's rarity).
More specifically, to unlock an alt form for a design that initially didn't have one, you need to commission both an alternative card AND a design card edit from Amayensis (the latter being necessary to change the design's trait information and rarity).
If the rarity of a design changes, its current value may change as well.
