Honestly I feel like G3 Fluttershy has my fav color scheme for her. Have a lil redesign, a mix and match of the best bits.

WORM ANATOMY Overview below the cut!

For some overview, all the worms in the Abattoir wastes are evolved from earthworms. This is going over the BASIC anatomy that all species draw from. They've got an extended mouth that extends in front of their 'head', said head is just a swollen cavity to house the brain. Four sets of limbs each hold an internal lung which pump air independent of each other. They have 5 hearts and sweet, antifreeze rich blood. That's the basics, now for SPECIFICS. We'll be using a basal 'salamander' build for this overview.

LUNGS 1. Deflated- The moving state of a worm lung, where the long air sac that extends down into the trunk of the leg pulls itself shut. The horse shoe shaped top of the lung is rigid and retains air, but as a leg is lifted; relaxing muscles squeeze air out of the limb.

2. Inflated- As a worm settles weight upon a limb, muscles tighten and pull the limb open to suck in air. All worm locomotion is derived from their old ways of respiration, the muscles of a leg must engage for respiration!

NERVES 3. Brain- A relatively recent development! The brains of worms are built to mainly remember where exactly they are out there. Worms tend to keep a sharp mental map of their surroundings, but alas are not too bright. Think of it like they can learn to use a push door to get food, but if you suddenly swap to a pull they just might starve to death. Very set in their ways. 4. Spinal Cord- A basic main nerve network that runs along their under belly, surrounded by thickened tissue that can limit a fair bit of mobility in some species.

GUT 5. Esophagus- Kind of a 2 for one deal, the mouth in a lot of species will be one in the same with this. Most worm species have evolved teeth within their mouth and throat. Either for straining or biting, it is a very common feature.

6. Crop- The storage of the worm. This is mainly used for excess food, but several species will brood their young or pack themselves full with ice and snow to regulate their temperature. It's MULTIPURPOSE.

7. Gizzard- A grinding hell of stone and mucus. 8. Fore Gut- Where the majority of nutrients are absorbed. Analogous to the small intestine. 9. Hind Gut- Where the poop is made. Though some species have adapted to ferment within this section of gut before internally puking it back up into their fore gut. How pleasant!

BLOOD 10. Head Heart- The first heart of the chain and the smallest, this heart is dedicated solely to pumping blood to the brain as well as flushing the aorta connecting all other hearts. 11. Body Hearts- These two lobed hearts evolved mainly to service the legs, but also feed the majority of the body! They can pump in unison or separate to better service each leg. This leaves worms with the odd condition of being able to have multiple heart tempos at any given time.

That's the gist of it! I wanted a more base rule set to go off of before I get into different varieties. For reaching the end, have a lil sneak peak of two different worm lineages. A fun basal salamander and then a whisker-y fellow!

remember when i had tiktok and the most noteworthy thing i did with it was pretend with all i had that i didnt know and had never heard of any anime other than baccano

[jelloapocalypse]

"Every day is a bad day to be a Baccano fan" truuuuue

Small aside for a bigger project I'm making, but also wanted to provide a easy guide on how to read a weird clock. The Abattoirs run on a 24 hour day, but since they don't have a day or night cycle I figure am and pm would be too convoluted. So 24 hour clock! They have a two face clock, hours and minutes stacked atop each other with each face having a dedicated hand. No seconds hand tho, alas...

In antiquity 18-6 was still considered 'evening' as an echo of the day/night cycle. However now most people consider 12-24 the sleepier time of day, with 06:00 being the new 'noon'. That being said, there is a big chunk of the population up at any time, a lot more flexible to set your sleeping hours.

Current time seen above is 06:25. May change, but right now I'm p happy with it! Love the lil hubcap in the center, prime embellishment zone.

truly the ending of all time

[entelodante]

chainsaw man... i liked the ending! SAD but honestly probably the only way denji could end up happy. spoiler thoughts below

i wonder what pochita really was then? I always loved the theory that he was the birth devil, and seeing as he can't be purely chainsaw since they still exist that could still be the case? Though I don't think the world would function with him gone then. So was he the chainsawman devil himself? And if so has the concept of him been reborn by Asa? Much to think about Power, Nayuta, and dogs are back, yay BUT MEOWY THANK GOD. I never gave up on your return.

No Aki, No Reze, No Kishibe, and NO KOBENI. Sufferinggg

The saddest part is that this WOULD make such an interesting settup for part 3 but I know Fujimoto is prob ready to move on. I liked this ending a lot more than Firepunch's in that I am at least more satisfied. Sad to see it go and it DID feel pretty rushed, but I think for the most part it's aight. Def not as good as part 1 ending, but not horrific. Like a movie that leaves you confused at the end but you still enjoyed the ride.

Honestly this ending reminded me a little bit of Look Back! Another AMAZING story by Fujimoto, which I wont spoil. But I feel like it makes it easy to feel that even if we've gotten a reset or diverged timeline. I don't think it makes everything the story has gone through meaningless. Like the series is a glance into the brief moment of time when Chainsawman existed, and that in itself has some value. Even if that door has been shut.

And at least in this timeline, our boy Dennis has a chance to form real connections without being groomed and traumatized by Makima. Like already his relationship with Power is one genuinely made between them. (And one that parallels Power and Meowy's meeting so I don't think Denji will be treated like garbage, moreso like a lil bloodbag until she actually cares about him) Like there is no gunning after chainsawman's heart, just Denji's heart! And I like that.

hit me with the 28

28. Any art events you have participated in the past (like zines)

Alas... Only artfight, I'm tryna find some to join but ALAS. Not yet, though I do want to join up w some. I just don't have a uh.. 'art network' or more so art community to slink around in. But! Someday!

[entelodante]

For the ask game: 3, 10, 12?

3. What ideas come from when you were little

Honestly I used to draw little ecosystem diagrams and make up species from the get go so that's one. Or anything with excessive gore, I was REALLY into splatter films as a kid. So I used to draw a lot more gore focused art than I do now.

10. Favorite piece of clothing to draw Capes, coats, flow outer wear like that. Always peak. ALWAYS a plus to any design. 12. Easiest part of body to draw Mesentery and assorted innards. Or just the torso in general! I also think hands are fun but I am only good at them in phases.

[entelodante]

21

21. Art styles nothing like your own but you like anyways

I like really realistic leaning styles, big sucker for people who go crazy on the details. INSPIRING. That and very blocky, print mimic-y pieces, with the cross hatching? PERF. I feel like texture is always so tricky to nail down but so worth it at the end. I def want to rework my style, tbh.

[entelodante]

For the art ask:

30. What piece of yours do you think is underrated

Maybe... Some of my comics? It's hard to pick just cause I know I'm a bit niche art wise, but I always feel like my comics are actually sick af. That or abattoir land stuff but that IS a bit gorey.

[entelodante]

Can i have a number 7...?

7. A medium of art you don't work in but appreciate

Clothes making, needle work, anything sewing or knitting or crocheting like DAMN. Ive sewn a bit here or there but I always am stunned at how people come up w such elaborate work for that. And the planning that it takes to pull it off. So impressive

[entelodante]

six

6. Anything that might inspire you subconsciously (i.e. this horse wasn't supposed to look like the Last Unicorn but I see it)

Hmm that's hard to say, I would say probably a lot of animals slash nature stuff in general. I was a huge nature documentary kid so I kind of just absorbed a lot from that. Then again it's hard to say since it's all in the backseat thinking wise.

[entelodante]

For the funny ask game: number 4?

4. Fav character/subject that's a bitch to draw.

HONESTLY. Any human characters. I feel like humans are so hard to make look natural I always have like 3 times as many sketches for a drawing of a human than anything else. Like the posing is so... What am I supposed to do w these arms

Some speculative evolution for the new mons!
