Easterlings: Rare Auction (closed)

I decided to make a mini-batch for the spring season! I used to be unsure if pastels were my thing, but I think I've fallen in love. I had a TON of fun working out these designs, and I hope you all enjoy them!!

Both of these are rarer individuals, and Chocolate has a special mutation, being man-made in origin with chocolate crystals - they're a homunculus, a rare strain of aetherling created by humans rather than nature. Normally they're cursed and shunned by the rest of society, but this little fella might be an exception!

I recommend reading the species lore if you're unfamiliar with aetherlings: [Link]

If AB'd, as always I will include an extra bean (baby) version for the aetherling!
ALSO: Since I work with more organized layers now, ALL new aetherlings will come with two versions: the main one shown here, and also a version without accessories, like this!

Aether/Earth
Rare traits: Sylph body type, "pixie wing" crystal clusters, oversized lop ears!
This aetherling emerges from its thawing den on the first day of spring, and carrying its sack of enchanted pollen, it spreads the essence of birth across the land. New flowers and buds emerge in its shimmering wake.

Essence: Chocolate
Owned by:
(i'm weak)
Earth
Mutation Type: Homunculus
Rare traits: Chocolate "crystals" (unique), oversized bunny ears!
This aetherling was created by pure luck, when an aging candymaker accidentally included magic in his secret recipe. Friendly and shy, it enjoys helping to prepare all sorts of delicious, chocolatey recipes.
(btw yes, that's a creme egg - my favorite weeps)
