i'm gunna make a new intro post cause i feel like it

my two main projects, basically my reason for living.. -there is my sci-fi one which will change once i got a very specific alien language to work with, but in the end it's going to translate roughly to "Ouroboros", so feel free to call it that for now -and there is my fantasy one, it's name is basically "Layers" but i might change it once i decide on something official, but i can't think of anything so that might just be it

maybe i'll make basic intros for each project later on so y'all have something to work with.. but i can't be bothered/suck at making overviews, so you'll just have to deal with that for now

okey, some personal stuff but not that personal cause.. frankly y'all don't need that lol

just call me meep, meepus, or any verision of that i'm either they/him or they/them, or possibly some verison of it, haven't figured that out/decided yet in case the pronouns weren't enough to tell you, i am very much rocking with the lgbtq+ community and am firmly a part of it so if you don't like that, sucks to suck, get lost, i enjoy men and will gladly do so loudly out of sheer spite >:3 and if you thought you could enjoy my projects while ignoring it, think again! a vast majority of my fantasy characters are some flavor of queer and while i haven't gotten to detailing specific characters for my sci-fi yet a vast majority of my aliens would qaulify as being outside of the human gender binary plus most advanced species have usually gotten over such petty and pointless things as homophobia/transphobia/other such things(humans included)

didn't expect half of this intro post to be me rambling about how much i rock with lgbtq+ stuff but whatever :P

i think i mentioned the idea before but i've like further developed it

future earth, bats, batworld

can't remember if i said it was a seperate thing or not, but it's no longer that, it's now joining the Ouroboros family

the short of it is that humans largely left earth to leave it as a naturalistic petri dish.. like humans still visit from time to time, but they no longer LIVE there, massive nature reserve basically

anyways, extinction with volcanic activity happens, avian disease wipes out most birds(like MOST-most), leaving a very convenient totally not just me making an excuse spot for bats to become the dominate land group over time

out of the five major groups of birds to survive, 80% of them ended up with a change to their reproduction cause of the effects of the avian disease.. and hoo boy do the hawaiian birds get weird cause of it

anyways, point being that at the moment that's my hyperfixation

scientists should attend more design classes, cause what the hell are these

first image, the WHITE is the distribution of the common pipistrelle

would y'all believe me if i said while i made this back in january that i invisioned the back half to be basically a spider mech..

lanky humanoid upperhalf attached to a spider mech..

how am i only now realizing i inadvertently predicted the prototype?

[meepusgleepus]

finished this fella, but i wanna wait till i got their partner to show here

not a part of any preexisting projects, just an idea i came up with that i didn't want to insert into those settings

[meepusgleepus]

They call themselves Gods.

i'm honestly very happy with this art and their redesign

i wasn't planning on redesigning em today, but i made a crest for them and i just fell in love with the highly stylized depiction of their old design i decided to just make them resemble the crest

said crest:

oh and just cause i can, here's the design with everything else toned down:

originally they had membranous wings but i always felt that was too Qu-like, so i like this alot more plus it makes them feel more advanced and junk to not have to flap their wings but instead just hover, adjusting the position of their "wings" to propell/sheer themselves

their wings are basically powerful electromagnets that uh.. use scifi nonsense to like actually work to hover them.. i'ma be so real, this more than likely isn't possible in any manner, but almost nobody can really correct me sooo.. i'm just sticking to it cause it's dope as hell, deal with it >:3

[meepusgleepus]

just placing my opinion out there cause.. i frankly don't know but nobody is stopping me :3

subnautica 2 the creatures..

not a fan, i'ma be honest

now i'm not sure how much this makes sense, but compared to the first subnautica games they feel less "authentically weird"

the creature that made me realize this was the sandspear i was already familiar with the sandspear before the game came out, i've seen the concept art for i think it was subnautica below zero??

i can't remember, but the point is that it was a concept originally for the first games

but then compare it to what's in subnautica 2..

the concept feels like in the style of the first games, so let's just use it as a base for this

the first game is authentically weird, it feels like it doesn't exist for the viewing of the player, just feels like an animal that happens to look kinda funky

but in the second game.. it feels like it was engineered to be weird, like they're actively trying to be "HEY THIS IS WEIRD AND FUNKY, LOOK AT IT!"

now i'm FULLY aware that.. these are creature designs made by humans, even if they seem more natural they're designed to be looked at, to invoke something but the point is that in my opinion.. the first games sold the illusion of authentic weirdness better

for more examples of creatures that don't feel "authentic", there is the collector leviathan and the great jaw leviathan

the collector cause.. *Gestures* it's just Cthulhu, and the great jaw cause of the eyes.. it would've been so much better without the eyes

there are more but i feel these in particular are like top tier offenders in my opinion

for exmaples of creatures that do feel "authentic" in the first games, the crab squid and the reefback leviathan

i can't quite pinpoint what about these feels more authentic, they just do, they don't feel like they exist solely for your viewing pleasure.. and can't really explain it

now just to be clear, i'm aware some of this is likely down to nostalgia so let me mention some creatures from the first game that don't feel "authentic"

the crashfish to i'm pretty sure nobody's surprise, and the reaper leviathan

the old games aren't perfect by any means, but i feel a higher percentage of them feel "authentically weird"

now, i don't want all of this to be negative, so i will give the new game some credit where it's due

i am a big fan of the reoccuring theme/idea of creatures blurring together on the genetic level, i really like that, give me more of that it's just the creature designs i'm not the biggest fan of

Tiki and Dorsh

When their two species first made contact it was over lightyears, so they had plenty of time to prepare themselves for official contact and intergration. However there is only so much that can be predicted by general population trends, so when contact did happen, both species would set forth on a grand test, raising their young in close contact and monitoring their development in order to record all potential issues to be worked out with cohabitation.

Tiki and Dorsh were one such set of children.
