Soquili Species: Hippogryph
Body Build: Regular
Gender: Male
Starting Stage: Adult
Concept Origin: Tengu (Japanese Folklore)
WIP Needed? Really, up to you.

Basic Idea
This soquili is a hippogryph designed after the traditional Japanese folklore creature, a Tengu - a Crow-creature.

~*~ Colors & Markings ~*~
Body:
"raven-black" - so black it's blue. The front half should look more 'feathery' in the coloration, the back half more horse/fur like.
Good Color ref


Face:
Clear-blue eyes. Preferably no white showing - just rounded bird-eyes. Also Good Eye ref

IF you think it looks good and you feel like it (OPTIONAL!),maybe editing the shape of the beak a bit to look crow-like. Crow beak


Mane:
CUSTOM.
Short and fluffy. Very glossy blue-black.
Optional: Take some influence from a samurai topknot: Like one of these or This

Tail:
CUSTOM.
I'd like there to be a bird-like spread of feathers at the base of the tail in a pattern kind of like this:
This or This
Should also be the glossy blue-black.
But coming out from underneath that, a normal equine tail. Extending about halfway to the ground, and kind of windblown looking.

Hooves/Fetlocks:
For the bird legs, here's a good color ref - more blue than black:
Crow legs

~*~ Physical Traits ~*~

Wings: Glossy blue-black like a Raven.


Other Notes:

~*~ Accessories & Edits ~*~
Trading Post Items: None
Custom Items:

• Samurai-style Shoulder pads and breastplate. A lot of it can be hidden by the wings. Red and white in color. Maybe some black. Adjusted how you see fit to a horse form. Can be stripped down and just the basics to give the idea of armor.

FEMALE TWIN

The Twin would be a female - based on the male
As a twin, she should have the same colors for body/mane/tail/eyes/etc
The tail can be the same as the male ((if it works with the template, you can use the exact same tail))
If possible, a different style for the mane, Japanese inspired.
Here's a suggestion for style: Hairstyle


She should not have the armor or sword <3.

I'd love a few Japanese-inspired accessories.

Pretty much, the items/accessories are mostly CC; here's some ideas or inspiration:
this necklace, hairsticks or a decorative hair comb, kimono-like sleeves like Kumiho, or whatever else you come up with.
Accessories should match color-wise with Jirobo's armor

Soquili Species: Wind
Body Build: Regular
Gender: Male
Starting Stage: Adult
Concept Origin: Recustom of my existing Soquili, Guilian, based on a cardinal bird
WIP Needed? Yes please

~*~ Colors & Markings ~*~
Body: Red, same as before, with the bird leg patterning on his back legs. However, I'd like to add a very faint pattern of scars on his back flank and his side. These scars came from the tendril-style tail of a Kalona.
Face:Same as before, with the cardinal mask
Mane: For this recustom, I'm basically 'aging' Guilian and incorporating a few edits from his life experiences. For his mane, I would like it to be a custom curly style; it should still be red tipped with black, but I would like it now to have 'grown' down to the vicinty of the bottom of his chest or longer. He should still have a forelock like his does now, just maybe a bit longer. I'd like to have a lock of silver added, around the vicinity of his ear. He should still have a black rose at his ear.
Tail: Still very curly and red tipped with black and decorated with roses, but the tail should be longer, comparable growth to the mane.
Hooves/Fetlocks: red hooves and fetlocks in the front, bird leg patterned in the back, but please give him the longer fetlocks this time.
Reference Image(s): Guilian!

~*~ Physical Traits ~*~
Horn(s): n/a
Wings: Same coloration as before, please, red with black edging. However, I would like to change his wings to the dove style, #4, to better display the scarring.
Fins: n/a
Scales: n/a
Pelt:n/a
Other Notes:n/a

~*~ Accessories & Edits ~*~
Trading Post Items: n/a
Custom Items: The black rose on a silver chain around his neck, similar to what he has now. Also, the aforementioned black roses in his mane and tail.
