Fantasy races redesigned [world-building]

[@fantasy-writer-v5z]

Can’t wait for you to get to the races of the other planes 0:10 Elves 3:18 Giants 6:55 Dwarves 10:21 Gnomes

[@thisorthat2497]

Thanks for the time stamps

[@Markaintus]

I love these new design concepts for these fantasy races. Gnomes are like living soil, growing special plants for photosynthesis. Dwarves are like moles with their whiskers and near blindness (also liked the art that looked like the dwarf was earth-bending like Toph). Giants are like humanoid elephants, but the best were the elves, who are now aquatic, amphibious beings! Everyone always makes elves be either forest dwellers or have these majestic kingdoms, while they specialize in archer and/ or magic. But you took the concept of elves and almost completely reimagined what they are. Not archery masters, forest dwellers, or magic specialists, but aquatic, hyper-voracious, cetacean like beings who reside by coastal areas and have an affinity for cooking. Very nice, please keep going.

@Markaintus thanks👍🏿 I'm glad you enjoyed all the thought behind these redesigns, and I look forward to doing more of these

[@skyhornet8677]

Excellent take on classic fantasy races. I adore the giants and their illusory music, and the feelers on the Dwarves! Excellent designs on the cultural elements - like the weapons and masks!

[@kytyanimation]

@skyhornet8677 thanks 👍🏿 I look forward to building the more cultural aspects of each race in the future

I love these altered fantasy classic races, some of them are so interesting. I've been working on mine for some time, and only recently I landed on effective concepts for my world.

[@kytyanimation]

@@Quarataia thanks 👍🏿

[@keiroty7187]

I’d love for you to try classic fantasy races including humans, halflings, centaurs subraces, ogres and fair folk / fae Dragonborn

[@kytyanimation]

@keiroty7187 Most of those are in Other planes

[@synivy4576]

I’m glad you used west African culture for inspiration for the dwarves…many world builders only use Egypt/North Africa for inspiration which can get repetitive…

[@kytyanimation]

@synivy4576 I know right. It's fun looking at a lot of West african culture for references

[@kytyanimation]

It's also use places like Mauritius as an inspiration for elves and ethiopia for giants

[@synivy4576]

Okay this was actually really cool especially the giant being these kinda mysterious weather controlling beings

What would it look like if dwarven vibration senses weren't magical (like Daredevil who breaks science). Vibrations of objects going through a medium (i.e. ground or air) is a speed of sound in that medium (or similar speed). Even if dwarves had constant echolocation (sending and recieving bounced of signals) they would miss fast changes of everything around them. The saying that hand is faster than the eye is true, and it would be much more important for the sound/ vibration based perception. Seeing/ catching/ dodgeing fast moving objects would be very difficult or impossible, as there would be bigger lag than when you see things. So dwarves would be in a "dark" about the fast moving parts of the world (As we don't see or hear things outside of our spectrum, they would live in a world where things are known to "teleport" or "glitich". They of course would figure out that it's fast movement but the effect would still be there). Also the further something was the bigger the gap would be, and their horizon would be much closer than one eyes provide (of course they could perceive behind corners and in darkness so it have it's benefits). Last thing the 2d art and writing would be hard to perceive - but as they can perceive minute changes in technology, maybe the very thin layer or indentation that a pen with in leave on paper would also be perceivable by tgem. All this can be very interesting thing to consider, and work their way of life around - or just ignored and say they perceive differently but there are no problems that would arise if this was non magical. - If someone who knows the topic better from the science side, please correct me if I'm wrong.

[@kytyanimation]

@Bakubakuba if it wasn't magical I imagine it'd look something like the game Lurking, or like tophs seismic sense, so something would have to be moving for them to sense it, they could also just stomp or hit something to feel the vibration of that, They can also feel slight shifts in the air on their skin, When it comes to writing, they basically use a sort of brail-like system with letters being carved into an object or slightly risen, They can also use their eyes it's just that their vision isn't the best, especially in sunlight,

[@kytyanimation]

@Bakubakuba I'm not the best in this topic, so I might've missed some stuff

[@Bakubakuba]

@@kytyanimation With vision impaired but not gone this probably fixes a lot of pottential issues. It would depend of the type of sight problem, but they might be very nearsighted (you don't need to see far under ground) with light sensitivity (but maybe they see much better than us in dim light, but still with a nearsightedness). Toph senses also doesn't care for laws of physics, but it works in her world. If you would like to do echolocation with the whiskers, then they would probably need to create sound. Not necessarily clicks like some blind people can do, but something out of human hearing range. Then it either would be heard by the dwarves or only perceived by their antenna - in both cases they would know that a different dwarf is close because they would catch sound of that other dwarf.

[@tiredboytypoguy]

@@kytyanimation what if, special structures in their air tubes cause a frequency that is imperceivable by human ears when they breath, this frequency reverberates through the surroundings, and metal, allowing them to perceive any oddities in tools, this effect would work best if the dwarf themself are making physical contact with the tool, as the reverberations travel through the dwarves skin an evolutionary reason of these appearing is, again, cave life, there are various caveats to that entire concept that I don't need to go through

[@sugarzblossom8168]

What others do you have?

[@m.ubaidaadam]

@@sugarzblossom8168I’d recommend tree lancer and eternal ruins. tree lancer has a unique spin on its magic system and is South American inspired with its setting. Eternal ruins has amazing atmosphere and mystery built around it and is kinda relaxing to delve into

[@ambassadorofpeboiv5366]

I love the photosynthetic skin tags

[@kytyanimation]

@ambassadorofpeboiv5366 thanks 👍🏿 Thought they were a neat idea

[@megareavermickeybot7985]

Toph would make a great Dwarth in this universe~~

[@kytyanimation]

@megareavermickeybot7985 Yeah, I basically use seismic sense or tremor sense as a way for dwarfs to see in dark caves

[@megareavermickeybot7985]

@@kytyanimation Pretty much. and not only is Toph short due to her age but also yeah the whole sensing the world around her as an alterantive substituation for eye sight. I'm liking each of these so far. Your definately giving me some insporation. I'malways sort of wanting to creat a brand new type of fantasy realm. always technicaly as I feel there are numberous differant kind of new fantasy worlds we could make and should try to make.

[@wavetactics13]

These are some interesting redesign choices. Now I'm curious what you have in mind for fantasy races like orcs, goblins, trolls, and ogres. I'm writing two stories in different settings and part of the fun I've had with it is coming up with my own variation on these creatures.

[@kytyanimation]

@wavetactics13 I do have a bunch of sketches for when I start to expand on the other planes, which should be soon

[@trevorcurb4520]

Suddenly curious, what do dwaves diets look like given the underground society. Grubs? Underground growing produce? Roots? Salt? Also I'm glad it's easier to understand but I'm already starting to miss the old audio.

[@kytyanimation]

@trevorcurb4520 Yeah, a lot of underground insects, moles, or other cave / underground mammals, I imagine they breed either mole rats or cave bats to produce meat , They also like moss and subterranean mushrooms.

[@owlishwillow7242]

I wonder if the narrater is ever going to talk about themself and their species Even if by a chance they are human it would be interesting to see how humans act in this world

[@kytyanimation]

@owlishwillow7242 year he is a human I'll probably do a video looking into what humans do after my next video . But if you want an idea of what the human kingdoms are like, I'd recommend checking out the dragons of the empire video, It goes over the main human empire

[@thisorthat2497]

Since many live underground, should dwarfs’ eyes be underdeveloped/noticeably smaller or less pronounced than other races? I find it odd that you stated this yet have eyes that are relatively the same size as the others.

[@kytyanimation]

@thisorthat2497 fair I should try to show that more in the art, I kinda draw the dwarfs with this constant squint that's based on a specific type of mask.

[@DinosaurBoy04]

Or would there eyes be massive to try to catch as much light as possible.

[@kytyanimation]

@DinosaurBoy04 Yeah, that's basically why their eyes look mostly black It's extremely dilated pupils
