Refuge TF Group Picture?
a year ago
Want to get a story commission but you aren't sure what to get? Check out Rygone's Grab-Bag!
Hey all,
It's Rygone here. So a couple of years ago I hosted a group TF picture related to my world of Refuge. Specifically, a group of people and myself transforming into Hirith, a species of my own creation, and engaging in some fun activities. Since then, I've been busy at work expanding Refuge and increasing the number of regions and the species within them as I prepare it all for eventual publication. A process that I have found incredibly rewarding.
That said, I've always had the itch to host another group transformation picture related to Refuge due to the awesome reception that my work received the first time. Only this time, I would expand on the number of custom Refuge species accessible for people to transform into.
As such...
I'm gauging public interest in whether others may be interested in joining me once more for diving into my world of Refuge. Only...this time as an SFW group TF picture consisting of a few of my different custom species! If there is enough interest then I'll host the picture(s) and create a discord to help everyone develop their new forms, choose an artist for us all to commission, and arrange for payment to them.
To get to the meat of this journal, I'll list the accessible species below and if you like what you see, feel free to say something! There is no intention to have this journal be one where everyone commits financially, so feel free to say if you are interested, even if you can't quite participate yet. Though I do ask if you are unable to participate at this time to say as much so I can more accurately determine interest and likelihood of this project going through. Also, please share this journal with your friends or fellow TF groups! The point of this journal is not only to get some awesome TF art, but also to increase interest in my world building project! There's a possibility we can get several pictures going if there's enough interest!
ACCESSIBLE SPECIES:
Hirith:
The first sentient species that I designed for Refuge, the Hirith consist of a desert borne folk who possess large tails, a double set of ears, and a hardy disposition. Doing their best to survive in a region that actively tests them with extreme conditions and predators, the Hirith respect both their past and their present in equal measure as they navigate their way between the maze of canyon walls that is their home. This is a species that is perfect for anyone who wants to prove that they have what it takes to make it in a harsh world.

Dawsk:
A skilled people comprised of two subspecies, these feathered gliders have had a storied history of learning to work with each other to survive in their new reality. Consisting of the intelligent and dexterous Dawnlanders and the tough and skillful Dusklanders, this species has been able to overcome many trials and will continue to conquer many more so long as they can maintain peace. This species is perfect for those who enjoy freedom on their own terms.

Woven:
Coming from a land seemingly comprised of a collage of arts and crafts, the Woven are an artificial organic species that prides themselves on their ability to create. A cultureless people, they blend their unique skills with the communities that they become a part of until their quirky strangeness is as familiar as that of a good friend. This sharp-clawed species is perfect for those who enjoy creativity and wish to share it with the world.

Thalorin:
Evolving in an immense swampland that has consumed the remains of a forgotten empire, the Thalorin are an adventurous people who frequently dive into the swamp's deep waters in search of treasure and technology. Communicating with others in equal parts spoken word and natural bioluminescence, this species seeks to make their mark on a harsh reality that threatens to snuff out their spark before they have a chance to grow. This aquatic species is perfect for those who enjoy walking the paths less traveled and, for better or worse, seeing what lies at the end of them.

Churrian:
A species trying to forget their military past and the destruction of their homeworld, the Churrians have dedicated themselves to helping others as humanitarian workers and peacekeepers as members of the Sanguar Institute. Selfless to a fault and technologically advanced, this red panda-like species seeks to make the infinite realms of Refuge a better place for all. However, a question bears asking. How long can they keep it up? This species is perfect for those who struggle with their past and look toward making a brighter future.

Hint - Ask about their various ethnicities! There's several to choose from!
Omen:
A strange species, these masked beasts never seem to speak a word yet, those they engage with state that they always feel an immense relief in their soul after meeting them. Hailing from a land of endless graves, these psychopomps work diligently to find the one whose soul they are meant to guide to fates unknown, while also helping the living as best they can with their silent but effective skills. This species is perfect for those who want to support others without drawing unnecessary attention to themselves.

Hint - These creatures are highly customizable, and don't forget to ask about greater omens as well!
Vree:
Residing in the incredibly immense and yet simultaneously constrictive steam tunnels of Pressure, this bat-like species enjoys laughing in the face of blandness in all its forms. Decorating themselves with a multitude of ostentatious colors, the Vree are attracted to anyone who have a good adventure to tell or an interesting bauble to show. To the Vree, inspiration is the currency of life and to settle for anything less is simply... not cool... This species is perfect for those who want to walk through their day to day enjoying every moment to the fullest.

And that's it! While I have more species I am in the middle of designing and conceptualizing, these are probably my most developed so far. Let me know what you all think! If you like what you see, consider following my work on World Anvil! I'm in the middle of consolidating all the information about Refuge there, plus I'm actively working on making more for everyone to enjoy as I continue moving towards eventual publication. I hope you all consider wanting to become one of my custom species!
Here's a link to my world on World Anvil for anyone who wants to explore more and want to stay updated as I create and post further articles and information regarding Refuge!

Questions are greatly appreciated! Don't find anything that speaks to you? I do have a few feral species and concepts that you might find interesting instead. Feel free to ask about them!

Anything in particular catch your eye by chance?
dubbing between Churrian and Omen (if Omen ca be Anthro)
Ballpark for the price per slot?
We could ask Matokiro. They did an excellent job on our last group pict
