Concepts for potential finished pieces

[dead-star]

I don’t post a significant portion of my art bc there’s this weirdly specific problem I keep having where I’m like “I have an amazing idea. This’ll show their connection to wildlife in a cool way” and then I draw it and it just looks like those alpha wolf memes and I can’t take it seriously

A small sample of some I’ve drawn in the past couple years:

Plus this last one I drew like 20 minutes ago

anyway a while back I just ended up parodying this with an OLD old video. I may as well lean into it in some way lmaooooo

My second time reblogging this, but I need to reiterate the fact that this is an outstanding Zach fanart. His hair, his tears, the emotions show in his eyes, and the butterflies all mesh together so well. Amazing art op!

on that wild kratts posting grindset again. anyway this is a series of worldbuilding? headcanons?? not really sure what to class this as. however, its very relevant to an AU i am slowly cooking up.

i'm gonna do some kind of posts on the previous 3 CPS versions, as well as maybe something on the testing process. heavily considering perhaps trying my hand at writing technical reports/experimentation logs from the POV of Aviva someday too, but i want to focus first on the primary fic of the AU i'm making this all for.

for those who can't read my handwriting, transcript under the cut >

THE CREATURE POWER SUIT V.4

Clothes integrate into suit during transformation. All adventuring clothes are specially crafted with fabric able to withstand the continual strain.

Implant connection point on back of suit for manual override in case of emergency. Override keys are kept within gloves. All members of Team Tortuga have one [key] on them while suits are activated.

Animal DNA is transferred from hand sensors to suit.

Implant over spinal cord. Suit links to implant. Without implants, transformations won't last as long, with muted physical sensations and instincts. When activated, implant handles behavioural changes, physical sensation in suit, and stablises transformation.

Overuse of suits places the implants under considerable strain. Too much strain leads to physcial, technological and neurological degradation. Muscle atrophy, detransformation issues, memory lapses, and regression of human cognition are some effects. Implant strain continuing for too long will lead to death.

I watched too many documentaries where cheetahs call their siblings for help and cuddles.

You think they ever try to cause malfunctions on purpose to get stronger

What if Chris was hypnotized or mind controlled or something like that to fight against his own brother

this ask is so old lol I’m so sorry but I have a few ideas for this ☝️

I feel like if either of them (or anyone on the crew really) were to attack each other it’d be a result of one of the villains using the suits against them. They’d take advantage of the fact the suit changes your behaviour to adopt the animal’s instincts.

It could manifest in different ways. If they’re both activated as the same species, then Chris might end up fighting Martin bc he’s tricked into thinking that his brother is a threat to food access and territory. If they’re different species, then it’s either about Chris trying to protect himself from a perceived predator, or trying to hunt down prey (like in the drawing).

I think the most likely villain to pull this would be Zach because he already has mind control tech for animals; perhaps he gets curious one day that if the power suits can change the wearer’s physique/psyche to match the animal, would his devices built for animals also work on the wearer?

The species and context they’re in might also play a part in aggression between the two- a suit working a little too well in instincts. Maybe the villains don’t have to do anything at all. Unfortunately it’s not rare for siblings of animals species trying to get rid of each other to get a better chance at survival. Definitely increased chances if one is the “runt” of the litter. With Chris being the younger one, the suit might just make him think he’s in danger when around Martin.

Adding onto the previous point, in the eagle episode they did live in a nest for about a month so they could research eagle development. If it were another species, it could’ve led to aggression.

Another thing that might happen is the “fight” in the fight or flight response not leaving when the danger is gone. Maybe after an encounter with a villain, the adrenaline is still rushing and he reacts on reflex instead of logic. Non domesticated animals just have a built in fear for humans, so a deactivated Martin might seem like another attack to an animal Chris

In summary find this concept very interesting and I wish I had the energy to draw more possibilities lol. Maybe once I have the time I can make a short comic about it

first post hi! Don't really know how to work tumblr yet, but I've been getting back into my childhood fandoms and I wanted to draw them. I just think they are very silly :]
