Hey, on the situation of moving away from my folks

I’ve found a place for $850 a month but I would need help funding that

Just a small subscription or something to help me live in a place that I feel safe. my family is constantly abusive through dismissive language, yelling, and making me feel worthless enough to be suicidal. All I want is to live in a place that doesn’t make me want to kill myself

I really need to post more on my My patreon and here buuuuut you can help me move out even if you just give a little

If you wanna see what I make I do lots of 3d and 2d art, much of it for science communication as I’ve helped many artists with such resources

So if you have a bit of money to lend please, Any amount helps and I do mean any. If 10 people give 10$ a month that’s a decent chunk of the way there

$850 a month at minimum is the goal to help me attain freedom

I have. Gofundme, patreon, and ko—fi

HOW TO PUT GILLS ON HUMANS

since ive been asked a few times i shall make a dedicated post about it regarding putting gills on a human/humanoid there are two types of setups bony fish have 1 gill opening, sharks have multiple gills in blue here

for gills on a humanoid to be realistic they need to be between the neck muscles and the hyoid muscles, like in real fish the red are the beck muscles, green are throat muscles, and blue are areas you could feasibly put gills! using shark here as they take up more space

instead of gill musculature bony fish have a large bony shield called an operculum covering their gills, but the principle remains the same gills are between the back muscles and the throat muscles, though with bony fish you can make the covering just fleshy if you want

here is it all together again as the two main muscles the cucullaris evolve into present in humans are the trapezius and sternocleidomastoid so show how this muscles evolved in sharks its this trapezius-like structure but in bony fish since the shoulder bones are connected to the skull the cucullaris helps move that joint!

this muscle has roots in out placoderm ancestors and can be seen in placoderms like dunkleosteus! here this paper

in placoderms it also helps articulate the head and shoulder bones

A trio of characters from my weird dragon setting. If I ever make an rpg out of it, these guys would be the core party, united by the power of Group Project. I can’t quite call them original characters, since each is based on characters my friends made for a pilot session I ran in the setting. Ifemi is the unofficial leader, since the crux of the adventure (a survey of dragon meta-lairs) was her thesis proposal. She’s highly motivated and studious, if a bit over-invested in her favorite anime series. Leet was hand-picked by Ifemi for their experience with breaking into the cyberspace of runescribing monitors (magic computers), which has some practical application to entering and navigating dragon lairs. Matthias wants to be a Lone Warrior, but got tacked into the group by his grandfather, who is an actual dragon/notorious public benefactor that thought this would be a terrific character building experience for the lad.

I’m affectionately calling them the Cringe Crew

Some more character info down here:

Matthias is the literal golden child of the Delmar family, a dynasty of wealthy merchants in the seaside city of Kadromy. As part of a centuries-old ritual tying the wealth of the Delmar bloodline to the the intellectual wealth of Kadromy’s famous magic university, Matthias father was sired by the city’s resident dragon and university benefactor Saargasto the Nacreous. As a quarter gold-dragon, Matthias has a natural affinity to magic; the real challenge is learning to harness and control it, as his casting tends to be as explosive as his temper. He hates the rigid expectations of both school and his family, and in general just wants to cut his own path and be the cool mysterious guy in the corner of the tavern. Currently being forced to participate in a group project that he didn’t even come up with, which grates on him even more.

xXx_L33T_HAXXOR_xXx is the forum handle of an otherwise nameless young dwarf attending Kadromy University. They go by a number of nicknames, including Leet, Haxx, Nobody, and Jerma. The World Wide Weave is a dangerous place, as Leet learned the hard way in childhood after losing their true name and identity to fey mischief and a corrupted link. Their whole past had to be wiped to save them from being cursed for life, and rather than choose a new, normal name, Leet opted to just embrace anonymity. Dwarves in this setting are master builders of runescribing monitors (basically magic computers), so Leet has more experience with these powerful engines of conjuring and communication than most. Despite being quiet and secretive, Leet enjoys some infamy for their side hustle in pirated spell scrolls and fairy goods. Stuck in a group project with two insane people.

Ifemi Sowande is a bright young wizard-in-training at KMU (Kadromy Magical University), with a focus on sub-planar ecology, though she’s also adept in the fields of conjuration and evocation. She credits her tenacious approach to life to her fictional role model, Ajitama the ninja. Ifemi’s spellcasting technique is unorthodox, citing “styles of ninjutsu” and “the chi point system” as her primary methodology. Many find her personality odd and overbearing, but she has a heart of gold and will go out of her way to help classmates. Her extracurricular activities include parkour, kendo, jūjutsu, and being an active member of the school otaku club. Unfortunately, college is expensive even in in this fantastical realm, and Ifemi has contracted her fair share of curses trying to rip spell scrolls and unofficial manga translations off the www (world wide weave). She actually meets and befriends Leet after they start corresponding on a cyber-curse help forum and figure out they share a class.

Changing the design for ewa (and mo’o again) to allow for a variety of body shapes but predominantly this low slung reptilian stance to better sell their reptilian features

Not just shark of shark+reptile :>

[evolution-incarnate]

Working on giving mo’o less humanoid faces

And tbh going full furry is something I can get behind for them

[evolution-incarnate]

Rework for the mo’o bodyplan!

A bit more reptile

Enjoying how the enlarged denticles look for them. Gives a reptilian feel while still being very Chondrichthyan as these aren’t traditional reptile scales but SKIN TEETH like those on sharks and rays

[evolution-incarnate]

Pondering my baitball

[evolution-incarnate]

More mo’o stuff

With their ancient caste system the lowest of these castes were what I’m currently calling the ngahunge

Based on smaller reptiles and chondrichthyans but these two are based on epaulettes (I’ll draw more species like catsharks and dogfish later)

these mo’o were the builders and farmers of mo’o society, being the majority of mo’o populations they usually dwell in shallow water close to populations of sailfolk!!

For those unfamiliar, Sailfolk are the humans associated closely with merfolk and have decent levels of intermixing with them and so trains from both bleed into the other! Usually in the form of countershading and claws.

Ngahunge femmes are usually 4-5ft tall while mascs are 3-4ft, and māhū can get up to 5-6ft tall.

As the builders of of mo’o society they have inclinations that lead them to build large structures similar to how beavers will build dams around sources of running water, and like beavers not being able to build or make things in general puts them on edge which is why historically ngahunge have been seen as great artisans even if most arent exactly masters of their crafts they still enjoy making things.

Being the lowest caste and this most distant from the ancestry of Hina their blood is red, like ours, And being the lowest on the pyramid means they kinda got bossed around and had to pay taxes/tribute before the system was abolished. Good thing their tribute and taxes came in the form of food and artisan works of sculptures, fishhooks, tools, and chiefly attire the upper castes wore.

While ngahunge are associated with shallow water not all fo them are associated with the same time of day, which can be kinda viewed as an “element” in this case. Modern mo’o view it Kinda like a horoscope but certain species are associated with certain times of day as with the epaulettes (as above) are of the “day” element

In general the day (yellow) element is associated with carpet sharks and other miscellaneous bottom dwellers like horn sharks

While the sunset (red) element is associated with catsharks, leopard sharks, and other carcharhiniformes

Twilight (purple) and dusk (blue) are all kinda wishy washy atm with what species they are associated with but night (black) is associated with Lamniformes!!

Moonphase is also important but I’ll explain that another time

But there is all the diagrams and the epaulette ngahunge along with a larger Ali’i caste tigershark mo’o
