Okay, I know what you're thinking, but I have a very good reason for not putting on a head, tail, or coloring the legs: I wanted the full focus to be on the body! XD
You will most definitely still have a tail and head and colored limbs, I just wanted to focus on the body.
Speaking of the body, though, let me first focus on the actual main body then I'll get to the wings: The body is broken up into three sections. The top section of the body is very fluffy and puffy, similar to that of the Big Body, and takes on the dominant fur color. The middle section is smooth and takes on the recessive fur color. The bottom section is also smooth but matches the top section in taking on the dominant fur color. The middle and bottom sections are supposed to be round/cylindrical like a butterfly's body; I did my best to get that kind of impression. The middle section is where the top wings connect, and the bottom section is where the bottom wings connect, though since they're butterfly wings they look like it's all one big wing, so I guess it doesn't really matter when it comes to actually making the models for the game. XD
Now for the wings attached to the body: Butterfly wings can vary from bottom [facing toward you] to top [when you view them from the back], so as a result I decided to draw three different types of butterfly wing. All of them offer +4 flying and you can fly with this body, but no swooping. Having two bird wings instead would get you a lot farther a lot faster, of course, but flying for this body is more or less a background ability; it's what you'll see below that's the real stars of the show.
Type 1[at thetop withthe gradient]: +1 attractiveness, +1 distasteful appearance, +1 poisonous [when being attacked]
Type 2 [bottom left green one]: +2 camouflage +1 attractiveness
Type 3 [bottom right yellow one]: +2 intimidate +1 distasteful appearance
.::EDIT::.
I figured it would be best to show a full body complete nicheling with this body as an example, so below I will do just that!
Type 1:
Type 2:
Type 3:
.::EDIT2::.
I had the idea to draw out variations of the wings, so here we go! I included as many fur colors, horn colors, and eye colors as I could to make these Type 1 Variations! But first, a little info:
The body's midsection is the recessive fur color, and the top and bottom are the dominant fur color.
The wing's outline is the same as the horn color.
The wing's semi-transparent gradient goes like this: The color closest to the body is the recessive eye color and the color closest to the tip of the wing is the dominant eye color. I replaced Violet with Pink because I like it better that way. Besides, pink stands out more.
The wing's spots go like this: The big spots are the complimentary color to the dominant eye color [example: Blue-Orange, pink-yellow], and the little spots are the complimentary color to the recessive eye color.
Now on to the wings!!
Just the wings by themselves:
The wings with the body outlines: [because I've been told these are easier to see]
The full examples of wing variants with colored bodies:
And for flavor, here we have an example of an Albino and a Melanistic nicheling:
