> Pollockian
Shapeshifting humanoids that only live for three years. They cannot wear clothes. Their skin looks like a Jackson Pollock painting. Obsessed with getting everything done, and live by the philosophy that the ends always justify the means.

> Picassoid
They look like Ena from extinction party. Every single one of them has a split personality, essentially a polarity between two opposing things. Each Picassoid has a subtle ability which corresponds to each

> Magrittese
These people look like ordinary human beings, except that they are not affected by gravity. They can walk in the sky, and interact with the physical world in unearthly ways, manipulating physical laws to create strange phenomena that invokes optical illusions.

>Monettese
Each Monettese is composed of what appear to be individual brushstrokes, with their body parts shifting size based on distance on your perception. At sufficiently close ranges, you can notice that it appears to be as if they are made of multiple tiny Monettese.

>Schielers
Schielers are highly erotic, highly seductive, and highly hedonistic. Often, parts of their skin will instead be filled by a void, leaving nothing but their outline - this makes them extraordinarily sneaky, too. Normally, however, it is mostly opaque, although a few "bits" still show the void behind.

The Beksin are deformed, haggard creatures who scramble on all fours or limp their way through existences filled with fear and loathing. Fresh air causes their skin to secrete blood directly from the skin, so they often wrap themselves in bandages to slow this process. They form hives beneath the earth when they gather, packing together as tightly as they can against cave walls and swarming toward things that disturb their breathy hibernation. They have complete immortality, even though paralyzing or lethal injuries might take years to recover from. Even if their bodies are completely destroyed with fire or acid, smoke and other visible gasses will twist into screaming faces in areas around the place they were destroyed.

That's more because that's what you're used to, I think - art deco is associated with the buildings constructed during 1920s and 1930s America, whereas art nouveau is closely associated with Fin De Siecle France. There is a difference, but it's not any more of the difference between baroque and classical or romantic and modern (art deco is a modernist style of architecture whereas art nouveau is a romantic style of architecture).
>>
>>78136752
I'm way more used to art neuveau, since it's quite prevalent around here. A lot of old buildings, including government and office buildings, are built with it. But we're also very nature loving people, so such style is very well suited here. Blocky design had to wait till the 70s pre-fab concrete block housing.

>Warholls
Warholls are distinctly recognizable by their elements as simulacra and copy of already existing icons of pop culture, whether famous people or famous inanimate beings, but are easily distinguished by their utterly bizarre and mismatching color schemes. They often refer to themselves in the third person.

>Yvekleins
Yvekleins are often highly monochromatic, being quite literally a single tone, and mostly distinguishable through textures. They are capable of removing elements from space and rewinding in time, as well as adding them back - as such, they are capable of limited scale teleportation and levitation - so long as they can connect the two areas in "space" together.

I'm sick of waking up every morning with six nuts in my boxers and knowing that those are nuts that should've been busted inside of Isabelle's tight polygonal pussy. I want her to have my mutant human/computer entity babies.

Fuck, my fucking mom caught me with the neighbors paper mache sculpture. I'd dressed her in my sister's skirt and went to fucking town. She hasn't said a word to me in 10 hours and I'm worried she's gonna take away my computer. I might not ever get to see Ena again.

Dalistadores - radicals in every sense of the word, taking extreme sides of arguments and trying to instigate and accelerate situations. Never satisfied. They change form based on emotion and symbolism, to literally become a gavel to smash injustice or the fever needed to burn away infection.
Sometimes they transform, in the photoshop sense being stretched, smeared, or otherwise temporarily changed. This can be useful in dodging attacks and slipping through gaps in defenses or harmful in crippling the user's mobility or offensive capabilities.
These beings often have simple goals, which they pursue at a leisurely pace.

Escheroids are extremely powerful beings, with nascent reality-bending powers. They often take the form of mannequins, believing that biological processes are a hindrance to their introspective lifestyle. They often lessen the "hardness" of reality in areas they inhabit, allowing for even the most magically untalented individual to do insane feats of sorcery. They usually don't allow this, though.

>Buck's website proclaims "there's many imitators, but there's only one Alegria" and that is *definitely* true, these other styles might as well belong to the same Alegria family.
>The styles they use are almost aggressively happy with their utopian scenes. It's as if, the oddly proportioned people are caressing you from the screen and telling you through forced smiles, "TRUST US".
Study shows how all vertebrates are a fetus that has fermented in complexity so that it may become the permanent vessel of reiteration.
There're too many reasons for me to avoid denigrating any imitators, though most of you have the right and privilege to mock Reception Demivessel as a very hopeless example. I've identified it as one of the machines of our disgrace, and I think its origins are just as blasphemous as its peers.

The demivessel is more like a substance than a living being. Its whole mass is a brain without wisdom, its whole mind is empathy without love. Demivessels are always primed to recognize the forms that a human intelligence responds to, so that it will bud into a new lobe and shape to address them. Every bud holds just enough detail to be recognized as humanoid, as it's too expensive to spawn a fully recognizable human being. The bud's lifespan is also limited by its internal calorie supply. A personality, belief system, opinion, or personal history are all odious burdens on the bud, to be purged and overwritten on reunity with the satisfied central mass.

The purpose and survival of demivessels are dependent on the implanted register machine. It controls them by synchronizing their empathy with the owner's central cashier intelligence, tracks their movements, and supplies it with the nutrients it can't digest.

Demivessels are notoriously threatened by animals. Smart ones are too scared of the receptor for it to synchronize with, and it attempts to satisfy dumber ones by submitting itself to be eaten.

These folk are very concerned with the balance of beauty and efficiency. Their thought patterns reduce everything to a set of simplistic shapes, with colours layered on top of them to look more elaborate than they really are. This philosophy extends to every aspect of Cassandrean life.

Their progress in science and engineering is unparalleled, and they will not hesitate to flaunt it at every given opportunity. Their intellect, mathematical prowess, and precision is matched by their immense pride. The public transport in their homeland, as well as their machines, are unimaginably sophisticated and elegant.

The fearsome Frazettans are a mighty warrior race of statuesque men and voluptuous women. They are given to bouts of tremendous emotion, and are adept in the slaying of monsters and men. Despite inhabiting inhospitable climates, their physiques are always extremely muscular, which makes them a target for many predatory animals. A similar thing holds true with the women. Because of this they are incredible hand to hand fighters. They are immensely proud of their strength, and display it by wearing as little clothes as possible. No matter how cold it is, they exude enough body heat through force of will alone that they do not have to wear anything to insulate them.

>Art Deco influenced the design of buildings, furniture, jewelry, fashion, cars, movie theatres, trains, ocean liners, and everyday objects such as radios and vacuum cleaners. It took its name, short for Arts Décoratifs, from the Exposition internationale des arts décoratifs et industriels modernes (International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts) held in Paris in 1925. It combined modern styles with fine craftsmanship and rich materials. During its heyday, Art Deco represented luxury, glamour, exuberance, and faith in social and technological progress.

Industrial design, technological progress, everyday objects. And, of course, my comparison was entirely in the context of comparing it to art nouveau, which has dynamism, movement, asymmetry and used more in decorative elements and architecture.

>Inkblots
A nuisance to most races at best and a genuine threat at worst, these fickle and mischievous spectral entities are believed to be manifestations of whimsy and childish instinct. Inkblots often manifest in places of repressed emotion, spontaneously emerging from an inky blackness heralded by a jaunty tune wherever they go.

Inkblots take the form of animals, men, monsters and beings of all shapes and sizes, though they tend to reflect the appearance of the beings who incidentally spawned them. Of course, this means little - Inkblots can freely morph into whatever shape that pleases them, stretching their limbs like rubber, briefly taking on the appearance of an object, completely ignoring pain or physical damage, etc. Though incapable of proper speech beyond the occasional comical yowl or scream, they communicate through music and action, though their true intentions can almost never be divined.

The only certainty is that seem to be empowered by the emotion of whimsy - in particular, laughter. If you encounter one, try not to interrupt its "performance" - or hope that it doesn't use you as a prop for its next joke.

Beings made of pure suffering. They're basically the manifestations of earthly atonement for sin. Their culture is deeply religious, but doesn't believe in the concept of immaculate sainthood and instead believe that increasing the pain and misery of life will grant them salvation. Martyrs by nature, they often force others to live through the same trials of faith.
>Goyans
Composed of what it seems like shadowy strokes, mostly humanoid figures that bring darkness where they go. While they are perceived as violent and cruel, their inner circles house fantastic covens that commune with nature. Pagans and rebels, their bloodshed (either of their kind or their enemies) is always a sign of protest.
>Boschians
No boschian is equal in shape to any of his kind. Each one of them, even the most humanoid ones, is in many ways a demon. Driven by passion, the most liberal of the boschians rebel in interdimensional orgies of pleasure and punishment that alter reality itself. Meanwhile, the pious boschians seek enlightenment and sainthood through public displays of martyrdom that often affect the sanity of the public.
>Children of Blake
The Children of Blake aren't a single race. Instead, they're a multitude of highly spiritual beings. Some resemble humans while others have strange features like wings, tails and horns. They're all natural sorcerers, born with the gift of prophecy. The higher they are in their hierarchy the more accurate their prophecies are. The highest beings among the Children of Blake are often regarded as gods. While usually single-minded, they're still powerful enough to create miniature universes. They're very liberty minded philosophers and despise authority.

I've ruminated on a race that represents modern furry for a long time.

Hedonistic to the core, these humanoids express a random conglomeration of animal traits, such as muzzles, wings, antlers, and teeth. Their societies are madly consumerist and polluted, which has greatly influenced their evolution. The preservatives, sugar substitutes, and pesticides that fill their food are processed by their supercharged livers into unnaturally colorful pigmentation. Some outcasts will surgically disable this trait, as a false or true symbol of their rejection of their normal culture. This is represented as their pigment character statistic, which is a bonus to comeliness (or equivalent stat) by 1 point with regards to aristocrats, party animals, and deviants, and is a malus to the same degree when interacting with the upright and devout..

I just have to say that I really, really hate the current anime style. It was already bad enough in the early 2000's, and now it's at its' absolute worst. It's all the same and it's all bad and I hate it and even the """""""""""""good""""""""""""" stuff annoys me.

That's a very reductionist statement, and it sounds like a boomer who's only seen anime through a Chris Hart how to draw manga book. Let me have a go:

These inland clans are far, far more diverse. The ones on the coast all look the same, following the Moe Homogenization, which led to the Death of Verisimilitude.

Those who live on the coast are plasticky, doll like, and are not affected by light. Their behavior is a pale imitation of those who lived before them, which is an imitation of those who lived yet before. Each generation strays further and further from mankind and nature alike, closer to an unattainable, unearthly ideal.

And at the same time, they have become less extreme and expressive than their predecessors. Their hair is slowly losing their buoyancy and vivacity, and their faces deprived of their once famed plasticity.

This cultural inbreeding is due to their isolationism and stubborn refusal to experiment with foreign ideas. And at the same time, their famed symbolism has given way to dreary materialism.

Several eastern clans unaffected by the Moe Homogenization still exist. There is the deeply passionate Miyazaki Clan, which possesses a very strong connection to nature. And there is the livid and primal Nagai Clan.

No fucking kidding. It's lifeless, smooth and glossy. It's inexpressive, androgynous, anodyne and half assed. It's a pale imitation of what we had before, with less and less genuine emotion and verisimilitude with each passing year.

Anime is becoming like this is because the people who learn how to draw and write anime only take inspiration from other anime while ignoring any other kind of influences. This leads to cultural inbreeding and stagnation.

You can see this in the shows where every last character has the same silhouette. Even though it's a game, Genshin Impact is a good example. Elaborate and distinct clothes, yet every character looks the same thanks to the silhouette.

I love Genshin Impact but everywhere I go, I see people praising the character designs like they're masterpieces in design. I think they're ass, and the weakest part of the game as a whole- even weaker than the awful gacha systems and literal pay to win nature. I genuinely don't know how people can look at those cluttered, busy, uncoordinated characters and see them as not only good designs, but characters worth spending hundreds, even thousands of dollars on. Every character is laden with more doodads and bojangles than a Kingdom Hearts character has belts. I've seen insane TF2 loadouts that were more cohesive designs in term of theme and recognizability than ANY Genshin character. Heck, I've seen Bionicle MOCs made by literal children that had a more solid connection between character and design than some Genshins.
I've had this discussion with a few other fans, and despite my arguments they just look at me like I'm insane. "What do you mean they're bad designs, Venti is like link a twink in tights, Klee is a fire loli, etc, etc."
Maybe I'm just too autistic or used to settings with good designs but I don't get it.

I know >>78139797 already posted something for Alegria but I don’t much like the cosmic horror hivemind deal behind it. Just have them be a normal artstyle fantasy race like everyone else.


Alegrians are slave people created from the incestuous degeneration of captured Cassandreans. Inheriting much of their forebearers’s mindset and talents, though in a more flowery capacity. Gone is the rigidity and instead their bodies weave and swirl. Alegrians are usually pacified with baubles and happy thoughts. They’ll mingle about the estates of their masters to perform menial non-physical labours, things like reading folk’s messenger birds, inciting mobs against dissidents and even some creative works on the side. Alegrians are normally kept docile by having an immediatly comfortable situation and may further be used as the faces or figureheads for large powers trying to mask themselves behind the infantile unoffensive disarming positivity of their kind.

This race is identified by their exaggerated facial features, which range from completely round to sharp as a knife.
They are willing to go through great lengths to achieve their ambitions, whether moral or immoral.
Some may perceive them as selfish and cruel, and while that is certainly true to an extend, there are still capable of extraordinary acts of selflessness and empathy.
They are known to be great at finances, gambling and labor.

Anyways, pic related is from Jenny Saville, one of the few major figures in contemporary British art who's working in traditional media rather than bullshit concept art.

The Savilli, almost to the last, are affected by a parasite that deforms and discolors their bodies. In response, the various tribes have taken to covering themselves in paints and pigments - sometimes the color of human flesh, other times more vibrant colors. As a result, the species has become famous for its appearance - sometimes hauntingly beautiful at first glance, sometimes just haunting.

The Scribbles were and still are the first attempts made by higher power to bring about their own life into the world. It is not hard to see why it was not. But their forms didn’t have enough complexity look like anything, so they ended up like geometric basics except they fail at even being that. They don’t look like creepy primal cthuloid entities, they're black twigs who behave it as worthlessly as they appear. Pathetic, failed beings with defined by monotonal extreme moods that range from smiling docility to perpetual aggression. Just a string of noodles who Chatter gibberish and wander around from one experience to the next.

Gigers are a race of golems with a disturbingly organic appearance, leading to most other races to fear and despise them.
They are notable for having three distinct life stages:
Stage one is when they are most humanoid (usually taking a female form for unknown reasons) and intelligent, though they are largely emotionless. After some years their humanoid features will be overtaken by their mechanical features and their intelligence will deteriorate to that of animal, and they are likely to attack non-Gigers on sight. Finally, after a point they grow big enough to completely lose sentience. Gigers in this stage are usually kept around to birth more of the race and serve as shelter.

I think luminism is best argument against the idea that "art should just depict the thing, and the more accurately it depicts the thing the better the art is"
The work of the Hudson River Valley School and related reproduces actual landscapes, but with light and clouds arranged in a way that you could never really see IRL, but that evoke the idea of, say, the sun breaking through the clouds the way they really do.
There is merit beyond just "dry reproduction of a thing I saw" is what I mean. I have a lot of feelings about luminist paintings. Bierstadt was easily the best tho

A different approach: when someone says "this looks like a cave painting", you likely already have a mental image whereas "this looks like a flash animation" could land you anywhere on a spectrum. Because Flash had so much diversity I would answer >>78215437 with a different analogy: perhaps it's a multicultural ecosystem, a world, or an era.
Perhaps the flashworlders are ambitious boundary-pushers, explorers, and storytellers introduced by circumstance to a virgin world rich with resources. They are obsessive about understanding and preserving their own histories and evangelizing them to others. Securing a permanent spot in their cultural narrative is more important to them than any material conquest, and factions compete via creation rather than destruction.
>>
>>78221061
You could group them into different schools and have some be variants of the same species.
>>
>>78221077
I imagine flash would go move under animation styles, rather than drawn art styles.

>inb4 the world is divided into different schools of thought on the nature of reality
>some favour nature in the form of wood prints and cave paintings
>most are traditional oil on canvas and paper
>others in favour of industrial designs, even early animations
>radical futurists see the world only through machines in CGI and vector graphics
>>
>>78221077
They're like the Inkblots, but more violent, foul mouthed, and juvenile. They're technologically advanced, very creative, also don't take themselves seriously at all.

But of course, I think there should be a massive city inhabited by a lot of the "normal" looking races called the City of Harmony. Nobody is indigenous to it, but the majority of the population consists of Rockwells, Lichtens and Cassandreans.

The Rockwells come from the idyllic Rockwell Mountains and the surrounding country, which is a pleasant simulacra of fifties suburbia. Their men are manly, and their women are womanly. They're walking conservative ideals, with no strings attached.

Cassandreans are extremely urban people. They live in big ass buildings, preferably located next to some enormous work of engineering. Trainwatching is a very common hobby among them.

Lichtens come from a vast and decadent city state that has long since collapsed under the weight of their own hedonism. They continue their epicurean ways in the City of Harmony, and are well known in the fields of fashion and entertainment.

How about being an evolutionary relative of them >>78147441 ? Maybe the two races are biologically very close and share a common ancestor, but they diverged culturally long ago due to different environmental circumstances. It's easier for cartoons to come into existence in 2005 than in 1935 because of resource availability in our universe.
And a reunion, even a reckoning, is long overdue.

>>78221170
This division could even be literal, if these schools of thought influence the rules of reality in each of the races' homeworlds.

>>78221245
This would be a great starting location for new players.

Chappies are paradoxically laid back, their ambitions escalate too easily for their petty nature. They are some of the most open books around, but the formatting of those metaphorical books is all messed up.

Each Chappy is a little exempt from typical physics in their own way, but they all have some universal characteristics. What you see of a chappy is the ontological "skin" over the living being. Chappies can slide new appearances on to imitate other races, but will always look like a flash toon, and particularly a chappy, and especially themselves.

Chappy infrastructure is also not quite right. Only the necessary traits of their buildings might exist, having a location without having an outside, and yet the internal space is accessed without hindrance. Many of a building's internal workings are completely imperceptible, while still existing for all intents and purposes.

We can group the races by movement chunks:
>Post-Modern artists that represent the artists after WW2. Very abstract. Can be Pollock and graffiti art.
>Modernists: Represent a vaguely abstract humanoid, and can range from "blurry" impressonist to cubistic-shaped Picassos
>Academics: Height of realism, larger-than-life presentation / culture / etc. The classical
>Barroques: Realistic and emotional races.
>etc.
Or they could be broken down even finer: Cubist, Impressionist, Art Nouveau, etc.
I'd also like propose that locations / settings can also be based on artists. For example A Rothko Color Field is empty yet imposing. The Cezane is a land in flux that recedes and comes forward at a whim.

>>78136404
Here's a take.
>Ardecks
Among the beauty-seeking and opulent Nouveans, a movement that aimed for the reduction of excess had begun. One splay of the movement, having been driven by of particularly ambitious entrepreneurs, soon developed an affinity towards straightforwardness and organization, and its members modified themselves with high magics to represent their new ideology.
Their ornate baubles and floral graces were replaced by molded metal and sculpted wood, within and without. Their thoughts were made clear, expressed by elegant yet regular vocabulary. They were no longer focused on traditional ways of craftsmanship, but on the creation of autonomous machines that would build and maintain great installations, spires of geometric symmetries that glimmered with light from within when night fell. When the first spire was built, the metamorphosed named themselves Ardecks, and became like kings in their cloud-piercing palaces, commanding a legion of mechanical servants.

>Kagoshin

A race of defective celestial being who are incapable of processing material reality to a cellular level, therefore making their bodies randomly mutate and get mutilated by the continue rejection. Their minds are in a state of constant stress due of the pain of their flesh, and sometimes reality itself looks distorted near their presence because of the very nature of their being. They're very rare and live in complete isolation, almost in an ascetic way, praticing ancient tecniques and philosophies about the mind and it's power over the body.

>Seuratians
From far away they look like normal humanoids but at close inspection you will notice that they are actually man-shaped hives of small insect-like creatures, each with the ability to change color. The hives are quasi independent with the Seuratians living long lives as individuals, but amongst each other, it's not uncommon for the members of the hives to merge with one another into more and more complex megahives and with those hives trading members with one another depending on the needs of each Seuratian hive.
As beings made out of multiple consciousness, they tend to me extreme logic-driven people, with the hive coming together to decide every single action in lightning fast synapses. One could even argue that every action they take are "taken by committee" and so they tend to be seen as unambitious people. For them however their true ambition is the ability to live a long life as an individual. Where others crave for the moment, Seuratians place high value on the stillness of normal quiet life. For many Seuratians, the obsession of the perfect daily routine make them hard to truly connect with other races.

They also have a great tradition as hatmakers.

>Dam-ians
A powerful necromancer compiled a novel brew of chemicals that created a unique strain of undead, which he applied indiscriminately to any species of wildlife in the land. The resulting creatures flesh remains largely unchanged from how it was in life, but none can comprehend what thought processes they act on.

>Repinites
the Repinites are stoic to a fault, renowned throughout the world as a people whose faith in God gives them the will to suffer any burden placed upon them and fight through any hardship, never giving up until their body itself gives out. For this reason Repinites are prized as both slaves and soldiers, as a Repinite laborer will work until he's dismissed or passes out from exhaustion, and a unit composed of Repinite soldiers will fight until it's utterly annihilated, no matter the odds. Though they're typically divided between dozens of principalities and city-states who maintain cold but peaceful relations between each other, in the past decade a warlord from one of the largest principalities has named himself king and raised great armies with the intent of forging all the lands of the Repinites into a united empire. This man is famed for his skill as a statesman and his horrific cruelty in equal measure, and is celebrated by the commoners as a hero while inflicting unspeakable torments upon any of the nobles who cross him in his new domain

We still don't know what precisely happened. It happened all at once, to people of dozens of races. This wretched voice out of nowhere, proclaiming to be the will of an elder...deity? Ancient king? It doesn't matter, but it claimed its dominion over so many people, and made them into its thralls. "The hue of brown marring your wretched selves, your belongings, the very towns and lands, was torn from my breast, it is the mark of what is rightfully mine!"

Famed for their dragoon styled cavalry, the Futurists are a nomadic race on account of their restless, volatile nature. Their propensity for violence and innovation lends them towards mercenary and artificer work, though at least one of the great architects of the age is a Futurist. They are uncouth, daring, spontaneous, and irreverent almost to the point of ridiculousness; it is not uncommon to see skirmishes of actual intergenerational warfare due to a worship of youth and the scorning of older tradition. A very genuine race. (Added a civilization to the Futurists.)

The Kalajicti are a race of hyper-nationalistic people, even if they have no country of their own
yet they can recall perfectly a country that is nowhere on the map, both in a geological and geopolitical sense, it's a country that doesn't exists.
even though they are incredibly nationalistic, they are usually repelled by other members of their race, that's because each Kalajic reaclls their country of origin in a compleatly different way than another Kalajic, and when two Kalajic meet, they usually tend to fight to the death over minor discrepancies with their versions of their country, due to such thing, they tend to be loners and isolationists.
Ther nationalism brings them to view all other races as beneath them, and not worthy of their company or servitude, but if one comes with ideals that match theirs, they will gladly join them in their endeavours.
Despite their Prodigius Martial skills, they are also famous for their artistic skills, even if they tend to choose only one and master it to perfection, usally using said art to express their memories of their country.

>After some years their humanoid features will be overtaken by their mechanical features and their intelligence will deteriorate to that of animal, and they are likely to attack non-Gigers on sight. Finally, after a point they grow big enough to completely lose sentience. Gigers in this stage are usually kept around to birth more of the race and serve as shelter.
So, reverse pak protectors? The sentient young are the civilization, the adults are mindless monsters focused entirely on reproduction.

its art style is more expiremental too. calarts happens because it's easy.
inserting 2d characters and a photorealistic 3d tyrannosaurus onto real life picture locations is not the easy route.

its like what chowder did with textures, they could have done something boring and easy, but they chose not to.

It's easier than you think, really. Chowder's textural work is smart and easy to do - the scenes are done with "empty" sections and with a massive layer behind it. Once you have it down you can set it up as a script and run with it. It's extraordinarily clever stuff, but at the end of the day it's actually easy as hell. Also, because animation, especially TV animation, is horrendously expensive, people try to cut costs where they can. Japan does that by having lots of static shots and dialogue, because that's cheap (plus animating just the mouths makes this way easier). The West prefers modular styles where you can independently animate both the head and the body (thanks, Hanna-Barbera).

The animation direction and writing in Gumball and Chowder is what really carries those shows. But even comparing some bogstandard CalArts show you can begin to notice differences if you're paying attention especially to background design.

The Arcimboldians are a curious hybrid folk, taking human shape but being entirely made up of related objects. Some are plant-based (fruits and vegetables) while others are composed of animals, elemental materials, and even books. Arcimboldian society is largely based off of these bodily compositions: a cook will be mad entirely out of food items etc.

Ropsian culture is obsessed with both the deathly and the erotic (while most of them take the appearance of standard humanoids, many are cupids, skeletons, or cupid skeletons), focusing much of their energies on mysterious religious rites involving dark occult forces. That is when they're not inventing new STDs.

The Cooligites are peaceful dogfolk famous for their love of poker and other games of chance. While not often respected by most other races, they have always managed to find success somewhere.

>Yoshitaka's folk
Beautiful and elegant humanoids, their features often seem ethereal. It doesn't help that they rarely appear in front of other living beings physically and instead communicate through lucid dreams, living literature and mystical stage plays that adapt to the reactions and thoughts of the audience.
They're natural storytellers and their culture revolves around being part of a larger Epic, with each member accepting their role in it - be that of a great hero or a devious villain, and wearing it with pride.
Through telling and being told tales of greatness they can learn new abilities and spells. In the rare occasions where they appear in the physical world to interact with others, the experience is described as mystical and enthralling, to the point of leaving a void in one's soul that can only be filled through epic journeys and courageous feats. It is said that if you manage to captivate their hearts and minds, you will be taken away, leaving your life behind to become one of Yoshitaka's folk.

I could see a race bad DeviantArt/ fan art, maybe related to >>78159428 's furries. The Deviants are traveling scavengers with underdeveloped intelligence, a naive earnestness, highly communal but ultimately short term thinkers. They are craftsmen by trade but are just not very good, when they find success it's usually because they are able to misrepresent derivative works as original ideas. Their survival so far has been due to circumstance, pity, and having a high tolerance for humiliation. Some are able to mingle within other races' social circles but typically in the role of a jester or even a pet.

The goghians are a race mostly found living in small agricultural communities. Immediatedly physically distinct from other humanoid races due to their semi-solid and slightly amorphous appearance, the race as a whole are known as rather wise but melancholic, spending about as much time in quiet contemplation as they do tending to their work.
