Skyder Studios

These are Frost-Skyder's very, very old OCs, current adopts, and collection of species which are being brought back from their dusty folders to hopefully be used again, and be filled with fun adventures! For info on me and tags I use, click here.

Hey all FNAF fanartists, do yourself a favor and block @/fnaftys on Instagram if you can. She reposts art as "edits" by slapping other peoples' work on a pattern background.

Her most recent victim is a Music Man and Candy Cadet piece from 2 years ago that she attempted to edit my watermark out of.

She for the most part links back to whoever she steals from on DeviantArt (which is lucky for me since that means her @ linked to my Instagram) but she is not responsive when you ask her to take down your work.

I left this comment when I saw the notification last night. She has since deleted my comment and blocked me. I have already filed a takedown report as I could no longer access the post normally (so much for trying to be civil and give a chance to remove it on her own)

She blatantly ignored the message I left on my deviations asking for my work to Not be reposted, and I doubt she would listen to anyone else asking politely to have their work removed.

Her account is filled to the brim with re-upload art. No matter if it is credited, she should not be doing this without the artist's direct permission.

If you see your art in here, I am So Sorry. Please go report fnaftys on Instagram and block her.

The takedown i sent went through and they removed my content and gave the page a strike, but now guess who set their profile to Private so other people can't find and report the stolen work!

Luckily, if you see your art in the thumbnails of my above screenshot (apologies that I couldn't get screenshots of all their posts), you can still send a DMCA takedown.

Go to this DMCA Link and when it comes to putting the URL for the stolen work, select the "I do not have a direct link" button. Instagram will be able to see their profile even if it is private, so as long as you have the link to Your Original Work, you should be able to still send the takedown.

Rollipups! They are for a project I am working on, but thought I’d share a preview of it here. 

[frost-skyder]

I updated some of my various info, and have sort of amassed more social media accounts. Whoopsie. Here’s a fun thingy I did tho mixing old art and new.

See my usernames on a site not listed? It may be me! Feel free to message me here and ask.

A new little info blurb about me!

[skyderstudios]

Species: Drantis

Lifespan: Average of 40 years

Height: 4-6’ (1.22-1.83m)

Weight: 200-300lbs (90.7-136kg)

Description: Drantii are large, bulky, and temperamental creatures. They have four legs, tapering into a single hoof-like claw on each foot made of a keratin. They have a pair of arms that are shaped similar to a praying mantis’ forearms, also having the sharp claws at the end of each arm. They have long, thin jaws that have a row of sharp teeth, able crush a skull to kill their prey. They have inner ears with small slits for openings underneath their horns, which are made of the same material as their hoof-like feet. They have a long tail that helps them balance and is useful for thrashing prey. Drantii are pure carnivores, and will devour anything they think they can kill. They can be very social and live in groups of their own kind, creating hunting parties, but usually shun other creatures. Most other species are seen as potential prey instead of allies.

Reproduction: Drantis females can lay up to 8 eggs at one time. She makes a nest in a cave or sheltered area and guards the eggs until they hatch. The young hatch after 3 weeks, imprinting on their mother immediately. Making small squeals, the young communicate with their mother often. Although she protects her young, the female will often not hunt for them. Once they hatch, they are able to catch their own prey. Sometimes the mother will allow her young on a hunt with her to teach them the skills they will need.

      Female drantii lay eggs once a year, fertilized or not. Drantii choose a mate through battle, sizing each other and checking to see how physically fit the other is. In some rare cases, they will kill one another. The male drantis fertilizes the eggs while still in the body of the female. Often, the pair will both protect the eggs, and be partners for life, using the same area to raise young and to live. Some drantii live in large communities and will all use the same cave, they will all lay their eggs in the same room and take turns guarding.

Location: Drantii are found deep in forests, mostly rain forests. Although rain forests are their preferred habitat, they can survive in almost any location, villages if they do not terrify the inhabitants.

These are one of six of the species on my blog, and one I thought of several years ago, but never posted anywhere. They are my most temperamental species.

Species: Mane Cerpine

Lifespan: Average of 90 years

Height: 3-4’ (m)

Length: 12-16’ (m)

Weight: 110-220lbs (45.4-90.7kg)*

Description: Mane cerpines are flexible long-bodied creatures that are known for their long manes that begin at their head and can sometimes reach their hips. They have an extra tuff of fur on the tip of their tail which typically matches the mane in color. Their manes tend to be darker than the shorter hair on their bodies, giving them a distinct look. They have two toes on each paw and shorter forelegs than hindlegs. Their faces are slightly long; their noses almost flush with the face, only slightly sticking out near the tip of their muzzles, and have long pointy ears. Their eyes are completely black, pupil almost impossible to identify. They are able to fly without wings due to a gas-filled organ that spans the entire length of their body. The organ produces enough gas to lift them off the ground, but they must continually move to stay afloat. When grounded, their long bodies tend to undulate as they run, making for an amusing sight.

      They live in large communities made up of several families, having their own language that consists of verbal and body language. They are able to communicate with other species, including humanoids, fairly intelligent despite their looks. Most tend to be quite pompous, believing they are the most beautiful of creatures, taking copious amounts of pride in grooming and their manes. The more silky and long the mane, the higher in prestige. Those that have manes that reach to their hindlegs are considered superior in their society. There is typically a matriarch who makes all the decisions, and her second-in-command mate.

Reproduction: Mane cerpines reach maturity at 20 years of age. Males and females alike choose their mate on personality, physical appearance, and rank within the society, often choosing a mate for life. The gestation period is 8 months and they can have up to 6 pups in a litter. The young stay with their parents until 15 years of age, where they are considered free to establish their rank in the hierarchy.

Location: Mane cerpines live in mountainous regions, favoring mountain chains. The high altitude and thin air makes it easier for them to fly, and their fur keeps them warm in the harsh climate.

*Note: The weight can be considered lighter depending on the amount of gas filled in their organs. If the organ is removed or empty, they are considered heavier.

These are one of six species on my blog, and one I’ve had for about a decade. My friend used to joke and say they reminded them of ferrets.

Species: Murc

Lifespan: Unknown (undocumented)

Height: Varying depending on the shape they take

Weight: Varies too greatly to use a specific ratio

Description: Murcs are opaque, formless creatures that can take almost any form they please. They are able to become as fluid as water or as hard as stone with practice, but are unable to change their color. They have a simple digestive system and reproductive system, but have an extensive nervous system. One issue that arises due to their nervous system is if they are ever injured, or a nerve cell is disturbed, it causes all the nerve cells in the body to fire at once, causing excruciating pain. They try to keep the nerve endings as far away from their outside mass as much as possible for the sake of protection. Their cells are able to be moved independently, which is why they are able to change shape.

     Murcs first begin unable to hold shape, looking similar to a slime mold, gradually learning as they age how to shift into more upright, or solid structures. Some are able to only take simple shapes, whereas others are able to shift into what looks like other complex creatures, mimicking what surrounds them and what they find is best suited for their environments. Murcs spend a majority of their life as young consuming and trying to maintain more and more types of solid forms. They require lots of humidity or water to keep their viscosity, becoming slower and more solid as they dehydrate.

      Murcs are typically purple or black, but 1 out of 4,000 murcs can be albino. Those who are born with this mutation are typically ostracized and abandoned. They also can have a varying amount of eyes. They usually have two, but some are born with three. Those born with three or more are often created when the pollution levels are high. Mutated murcs are typically more aggressive and dangerous. Murcs can also merge together in a symbiotic relationship to make themselves larger in case of a threat. Murcs merging together are called a cluster, and are a formidable force.

Reproduction: Murcs are a intersex species, but usually affiliate themselves with one gender or another, sometimes both or none. They pick a partner based on compatibility, gender affiliation, and how well they are able to change their form. Those who are healthier generally are able to shape shift the best, and are the ones who find a mate. They do a mating ritual that can last for several hours, showing how flexible and how well they are able to change shape.

    In the partnership, usually only one of the murcs will take the role of the female and become pregnant. After 5 months, she gives birth to a clutch of gelatinous eggs, which the murc keeps either inside of them or guards until they hatch a week later. The young start out small, about a fist in size, and start consuming vast amounts to try to grow larger. They do not reach maturity until 14 years of age.

Location: Murcs are found mostly in wetlands and swamps, or where there is good humidity. It is very rare to see a murc outside of these areas. They only venture outside if forced to, or some driving force makes them feel like the journey is worth it.

These are one of six species on my blog, and one I’ve had since my younger years of high school. My first one was named Oden and travelled with a group of musicians!

Species: Ryabba

Lifespan: Average of 8 - 10 years

Height: 1-2’ (0.30-0.61m)

Weight: 18-30lbs (8.16-13.6kg)

Description: Ryabbas are small canines that have three toes, long ears, and long tails tipped with a tuffed with hair. Ryabbas come in all types of colorations, patterns, and are known best for their gentle demeanor. They live in packs made up of family and other members that join, developing a close-knit bond. These packs can sometimes reach numbers as large as 40 members. They hunt in packs, but are omnivores and will eat anything from small rodents to berries.

    The young are taken care of by select members of the pack while the rest forage, then take turns or bring back food for those protecting the young. In the pack, there is a lead pair, which all others look toward for direction.

Reproduction: In a ryabba pack, all members are able to mate. Each ryabba chooses one partner for life typically, only finding another mate if their partner is deceased. Rarely a ryabba who’s mate has passed does not take a new mate. A ryabba can have between three to six pups in a litter, pupping season in the spring. Normal gestation for the ryabba lasts 6 weeks, and the pups reach maturity at 2 years of age.

Location: Ryabbas live in grasslands and borderline wooded areas, preferring easy terrain for their small bodies. They create small underground burrows, all clumped in a close proximity.

These are one of six species on my blog, and one I’ve had since I was probably 8-years-old. They were one of my first creatures I made!

Species: Kyron

Lifespan: Average of 20 - 40 years

Height: 4-5’ (1.22-1.52m)

Weight: 120-160lbs (54.43-72.57kg)

Description: Kyrons live near water, whether it be salt or fresh, tending to graze on the algae that grows in those locations. Although omnivorous, their diet mainly consists of plant life. They occasionally catch fish or other water creatures, but hunting is rare.

      They live in small family groups known as “tribes,” which are not all related to one another. They make small hut-like shelters, living simplistic lives and using rudimentary tools. They are intelligent creatures, capable of learning more than their own language, typically to communicate with nearby skyder packs, or other humanoid creatures.

      Their bodies are built to be sturdy, which makes them less agile of creatures, their heavy bodies lacking in dexterity. In water, they are able to move more freely, usually swimming to the bottom and collecting moss and algae.

      The conical shape to the back of their head helps them bellow loudly, able to contact those of their tribe for long distances, sometimes in low frequencies only they and a few other creatures can hear.

Reproduction: Kyrons do not reach sexual maturity until 14 years of age. Males and females look alike, which makes it almost impossible to tell the difference between them, only pheromones allowing them to tell the difference. They are an oviparous and intersex species, but only the females able to lay eggs, and the males only able to fertilize them. Males are unable to produce eggs, and only genetic material for fertilization, whereas a female can produce both. Once the eggs have been fertilized, a nest in one of the huts is made where they are laid. Both parents watch over and take turns keeping the eggs warm until they hatch.

Location: Kyrons live near large bodies of water, such as lakes, oceans, bays, and sometimes can be found living in marshes. Wherever there is plenty of water to be found, a Kyron tribe can take residence.

These are one of six species nestled on my blog, and one of my favorites and one of my species I’ve had since I was a child, just revamped in adulthood.

So I made this blog a while ago, but I never really used it that much because I was so into fandom ocs. I’m hoping though to get back to using some species and characters I made though, and do some more non-fandom things!

Basically the blog has 6 species and 1 character so far (a reused character that I’m attached to), and all the information about my six species are up. I have already made a few posts about my character, and plan to post some about my species as well!

If anyone is interested in possibly interacting or looking at non-fandom related species and characters, please give the blog a looksie! My tags I use and information about me can be found here. I’d also like recommendations of non-fandom oc blogs to follow as well.

I want to finally use these creations I made when I was younger, and do more with them than just let them collect dust.

I will follow at @frost-skyder so if you see that name follow, that’s me!

Shalez the Murc says hi!

[skyderstudios]

Species: Skyder

Lifespan: Average of 70 years

Height: 3-8’ (0.91-2.44m)

Weight: 60-500lbs (27.2-227kg)

Description: Skyders come in infinite colors and varying body types. They appear reptilian in nature, but are warm-blooded and have no scales. Instead, they have a leathery skin. Each skyder has three claws on each paw and has one paw pad in the center. They have two horns on each head, a tail, and a snout with slits for nostrils on the corners of the tip. They have sturdy ears that taper at the end. Female skyders have a larger chest cavity because their lungs and heart are larger than that of the male. It is said that no two skyders have the same pattern, and it is rare to find an albino skyder.

          Skyders differ depending on what continent they live on. There are several variations depending on climate, making them differ in body shape and size. The area on the world can also influence the type of patterning they have.

Reproduction: Female skyders can lay on average up to three eggs at one time. The male fertilizes the eggs while they are still in the female’s body. If the eggs are not fertilized, they are reabsorbed by the female.

          They eggs are still soft in the female’s body. It is only after they are fertilized that they obtain their strong calcium exterior. After three months of hardening, the eggs are laid, and then hatch in a month.

         Hatchling skyders are born with small, but razor sharp teeth. Although they have teeth, they are unable to hunt for food and need parental care. The young skyders can live with their mother for 13 years before they reach sexual maturity. They usually live with their parents until they are 18.

Location: Skyders can be found on all continents and in various climates except the frozen tundras. They sometimes venture into these areas, but it is rare, and only for short periods.

These are one of six of the species on my blog, and this is the species I chose to represent myself the most, even going so far to draw my friends as them and making several versions of them. They are my favorite species, and one dear to my heart.
