Oops, did I never post Slapdash? Beloved member of the Amazing Digital Circus, Slapdash? Oh well. It doesn't mind. A rubber lizard who's great at bending over backwards and stretching himself thin! What will it take to make it snap? Its tail is a sticky hand, its head is a boomerang. Subtext is for cowards.

Niobrara County's Department of Prehistoric Wildlife's resident Deinonychus pack, led by matriarch Da-FA-0036WY (Rill), includes the first recorded case of a bilateral gynandromorph in a genetically restored species. Da-N-0039WY (Erra) is still under observation and study with its natal pack to determine to what extent this mutation effects behavior, and the DPW is on high alert for similar cases country-wide.

Felix Driscoll's field illustrations regarding observed dimorphism in prehistoric fauna, as well as several permanent "resident" individuals of the Niobrara County DPW Headquarters. All "resident" individuals are unfit to be released to the wild after rehabilitation, either due to injury, scientific inquiry, legal conflict regarding placement, or dangerous habituation to human presence. The Department of Prehistoric Wildlife heavily discourages assigning names to restored megafauna to avoid interaction, in the interest of public safety.

The following genera are currently housed indefinitely within the Niobrara County DPW: Suchomimus, Compsognathus, Tyrannosaurus, Parasaurolophus, Gallimimus, Triceratops.

The Department of Prehistoric Wildlife's road signs. Each symbol is designed to represent one of the seven Mesozoic species with breeding populations introduced to the mainland United States. Mandated to be installed at the site of dinosaur collisions, migration routes, nesting grounds, and year-round territories.

A Compsognathus is a kind of reptile that is actually very kitty.

My silly shapeshifter with inconsistent lore and an astounding talent for eating out of garbage bins. Crowyote is a champion of the Anthropocene, living at the periphery of humanity to the mutual fascination and mistrust of both parties. Scruffy, skulking, and scrounging for scraps, his hunger for leftovers and stray pets is only matched by his hunger for affection.

Four commissions for pokemon fusions. Pikablu got off easy, being a hybrid of two relatively close rodent Pokémon. Still, Marill’s Water typing was never meant to interact directly with internal bioelectricity, and the result is a superconductive film that sticks to the hybrid like a mucus. Static shocks run from positive to negative areas of its body, making its fur stand on end. it possesses potential for ncredibly powerful attacks. Immunity to those attacks… not so much. Spireon is mostly solid, but has a gaseous mane and tail made up of a thick cloud of free-floating particles. The Pokémon is affable and friendly, if mischievous, and makes a game of appearing suddenly without warning and tackling people it deems its playmates. Unfortunately, if ingested, the particle cloud can cause grave illness from prolonged exposure. Spireon has not been shown to alter its mood or behavior after its playmate has expired, even when the corpse is removed, continuing to play pranks on empty air, almost like it cannot tell the difference. The Diamond Onix is a resounding failure, sinewy strings of organic material connect disparate geology straining to stay together as if it’s naturally repelled by itself. Ice crystals form crude, sharp plumage, occasionally launched in its desperate flapping attempts to stay airborne, or falling from cracks in its mineral shell like tears. False Shiny Mew hates you.

Thanks to Cello for the project and the final sprites!!

some absolutely complete original ideas i had for some sort of robot pizzeria. pretty high concept stuff. kind of out there, i know. and get this. it's also haunted. tried to adapt these guys to my artstyle. i imagine them as working a lot like boston dynamics robots, able to adapt to different configurations in real time and stabilize parts of their bodies in order to carry things, which explains why they're set up to be so mobile. in this scenario, the cartoon "fredbear and friends" released before the restaurant chain, and the original suits were modified with springlocks as technology evolved, before being phased out in favor of autonomous robots. the animatronics are programmed to lock up and stop moving if they detect anyone within a certain radius, for safety reasons, and have a great deal of plush stuffing and foam padding to not break the illusion if a child comes up for a hug. teeth and beaks are made of stiff rubber, accessories are fabric or plastic.

each member of the band has unique functionality. freddy's the largest and most stable, so he's able to cart items around on his back or pull wagon rides through a section of the pizzeria. chica focuses on eating habits and staying active, encouraging a healthy appetite and partying via dance parties with her retractable tassel feathers and spotlight technicolor disco eyes. bonnie's programmed with pop culture songs on his guitar's speaker, and is connected to a mechanical instrument in the arcade that lets guests upload their own tunes. foxy is the lovable "villain", with the most expressive face and a repertoire of pirate stories. he's a fan favorite, and can drop in on birthday parties by running into the room and surprising guests. the marionette works the prize counter and will deliver gifts to kids personally via a rail system on the ceiling, or by extending directly from its gift box charging station. some awful teens vandalized one of the spare foxy animatronics and a balloon dispenser, combining them together into a mess of endoskeleton parts. the employees haven't bothered to fix it, leaving it in parts and service.
