Intro Post

This is the Mycorrhizal System's art blog! We interact from @be-fae-do-crimes (one alter's blog) and our system blog is @themycorrhizalsystem.

The goal of this blog is to A) get more comfortable with posting our art online and B) have a full timeline of our furry/nonhuman character art journey (we'll also post other art occasionally though). We barely drew after early childhood and only started trying to learn art a few years ago, so we're still learning a lot and our style changes frequently.

week 3 funguary: i think i'm saving this creature for a potential future project. unnamed at the moment and no specific mushroom species, just a scene inspired by the immortality of the mycorrhizal network. the tardigrade fellow goes into forests after forest fires to help jumpstart regrowth with the mycelium

hello fellow artists. google has fallen. pinterest/duckduckgo AI filters don't work. do not despair; here is a list i made of places to find reference images without having to sift through piles of worthless garbage. (for future editing convenience i am just linking my blog post on dreamwidth.)

✨ good places to find art reference that are not full of AI trash 🌈

ART REFERENCE NOT FULL OF AI?! YESSS

[be-fae-do-art]

not for funguary, but we've been working on this landscape for our mom in between! the gargoyles are based on her dog ozzie!!

funguary week 2! this is Grace the grasshopper and her mighty steed Inky the indigo bunting! they wear bleeding fairy helmet mushrooms to protect themselves and the farmers back home coax them into different shapes to make weapons for this week we did a slightly cleaner than normal sketch as the lines before adding the colors to see if that would be faster than our normal method and it definitely helped!

autumn skullcap feasts upon a felled conifer until they become one and the same

week 1 of Funguary is upon us! We're using this mainly to practice getting less precious with our art so that we can get our ideas out faster. Our first test of this is a painting-style thing where we're sticking to minimal layers and trying to just add and remove colors instead of following the sketch > lines > flats > render process

aaaaand sneppie's own personal oc! he's a lowland streaked tenrec named osha and he lives in a tiny anthro superhero world where he cleans up hazardous materials after supervillain fights! he uses tts and the stridulation of some of his spines to speak so the idea is to make that into his speech bubble! we may be developing him further for a Project but this is just sneppie's initial design brainstorming sketch

[be-fae-do-art]

we've been drawing a lot but the other alters have been too shy to post things themselves so i will!! this was an oc gift art for our cousin and our first attempt at the hazbin hotel style! (we have never watched the show and my condition for posting was that i cant tag it so people dont expect future hazbin art lol)

LAST DAY! So sad that it's over so fast but it's given us so much more confidence in our art. For this one, Pugnax is a trans flag colored feathertail morph (because what's more lovely than a trans person?) and [bæd] [ˈlʌki] does queer romantic pop

[be-fae-do-art]

this is Pugnax with the lagoon brush! He's a green, blue, and orange doubletail morph (more fish per fish) and [bæd] [ˈlʌki] does Jimmy Buffett-style music

[be-fae-do-art]

both this and lagoon for tomorrow are the two Main Traits of Pugnax already, so we're just going really far in either direction with that. He's a black and white crowntail morph and [bæd] [ˈlʌki] is a beastpunk band (I don't know if that's an actual music genre irl but it is in this world). Also immensely disappointed that it took us this long to think to give him FISHnets
