EDIT 7/9/15: added 3 more adoptables EDIT 7-6-15: Added 4 more adoptables So! This is a draw-to-adopt, meaning whoever draw the character the best gets it. These cats are a species I invented, called Marlings (thanks to -Beautiful-Echoes- suggesting Marwings, a combination of 'marked' and 'wings,' and I combined it with the fun-ness of 'lings!). It is a closed species, so only I can make them. Members of this species each have a unique Mark on their back, which usually has something to do with their personality or traits, that they can activate and it will glow and become wings. Some just walk around with their Mark, some with wings, it's personal preference. It takes concentration and effort to switch between though. The weird looking symbol-picture in black next to the cat is their Mark (top goes by their neck, bottom by their tail) To enter: remix this project with your drawing - and you have to draw it yourself, no linearts (unless you drew the linearts, obviously!). Try to keep the design as exact as you can, if you get the character you can change it then. I did leave some bits out of the designs, like what the wings look like and what color the Mark glows when activated (not necessarily the color of the Mark itself) so you can choose what those are. You can draw the cats with the Mark, or the wings, or in between, or animate it, or whatever you want to do. You can add a name and a bio if you want. You can try for as many as you want, but unless there is a really really good reason nobody will get more then one. There is no limit to how many people can be competing for an adoptable at once.

The Original Is @empresskay's. I drew my version, and made the background with Deviantart Muro and Pixlr Express. (If I don't win this one, I may ask for a requested one... Heck, if I'm allowed, I may ask for a custom one even if I do win! This is an awesome species!!) Bio: Name: Mizuno Gender: Female Wings: Water/fairy-ish wings. Species: Marling, duh Mark Glow: seafoam green Age: ~20 human years Personality: Calm, yet she trust no one but a few close friends. Likes: swimming, butterflies Dislikes: bullies and Marlings who discriminate against others who are different. Stats: Smarts: 4/5 Speed: 2/5 Strength: 3/5 Positive: 2/5 Negative: 3/5 Backstory: (if this is alright with ) Where she lived, fairy-like wings were frowned upon, and Marlings who had them were picked on. Mizuno hid her wings, and constantly wished that she had "normal wings", instead showing only her mark, until a couple of teens forced her to shown her wings. A couple years later, after being picked on so much, she decided to leave to find a place where she would be accepted for who she was.
