Considering reviving one of my oldest ocs/the ancient manticores i used to draw in high school for the lamia setting.. for fun….

#their heads aren’t/were never flayed it just looks like it #his name used to be tick but it’s kind of confusing considering I have a friend with that name now.. I think I’ll be calling him #ked #going forward #if I revive this character that would make him like. 13 or 14 years old #I am aware these things are extremely ugly. I keep feeling conflicted on if I should make them less ugly #and yet.. I am endeared..

#Lamia stuff #*does a flip*#not my art

the like/reblog ratio on art what contains nudity is always so funny

#ppl allergic to reblogging boobs #i don't like censoring it it feels like tacitly admitting that it's dirty and that's what i'm going for like ever #but it feels like the lowest return kind of art to make per amount of effort put in #i will NOT put a shirt on that beast

Nadder watching over himself at rest

#I doooooont love how this turned out but whateverrrr #lamia stuff #I need to learn to color things without layer modes in order to improve I think #blah

#lamia stuff #owhuhuhueheheuheuheuhuheuheue #my beast my boy my son

Hm Vuxte. Pretty happy with how they look at this point

#have another naked drawing of a guy I assure you does wear clothes #mouseworld #i straight up stole this bauplan from a mtg card because it's cool as fuck #im still debating if the rear legs should be plantigrade or have the very low heel #i kind of prefer the latter i think

Messing around with the bluetheif’s design.. I wasn’t really happy with the teeth and think it having a little secret beak works better for what I want

#why must beaks be terrible to draw from the front #mouseworld #I kind of like their faces looking like #cartoon plane animal…. a little #almost exact kestrel colors but kind of liveryish #there are very large species in this clade but something I like to think about is since this is from the perspective of mouse-sized guys #the more significant and noteworthy animals would be smaller… like things can become too large to become very interesting or threatening #I want to polish that top sketch actually it’s so cute…

It's kind of funny that I don't actually draw bugs or buggy things that much all things considered

#im not happy with the arthropod analogs ive designed for mouseworld they're too Just Insecta #im being way too persnickety. i just need to design some fun shaped things and then roll with the ones that look best to me #misc

#Not my art #people who like my mouseworld stuff will probably like this too

tbh drawing a preop transguy is one thing but i have seen a weirdly high amount of artists exclusively drawing transguy charas and charas they hc as transguys topless breasting boobily in every single art they draw of him with the excuse that transguys without top surgery exist which is offputting and dissonant bc usually theyre not objectifying transgirl charas or cis charas of either gender the same way. so idk having a knee jerk reaction about preop transguys in peoples art doesn’t come from nowhere even if its misplaced and inappropriate sometimes. 🫤

I'm so sorry but you think trans women aren't objectified??????????? or cis women for that matter????????

#is this a troll #have you existed in real life before #answering #im not even gonna respond to anything else in this hello???

Wanted to do nice portraits of my Lamias, sort of solidifying how I draw their faces.

Also bonus good art:

#lamia stuff

Kind of funny but years ago an artist i followed on Twitter had someone bothering them/asking them to censor art of a transmasc character with breasts because it made them dysphoric and it pissed me off so bad that I almost entirely avoid drawing men who've had top surgery or an equivalent. Like the way Other People depict bodies doesn't have to be tailored to your personal hangups. I don't really care if you only want to engage with idealized images of what you think a trans body should look like, or what you look like or what you want to look like, different people have different relationships with themselves and this sort of thing and they're not hurting you by using art to explore that

#i have weird nasty hangups with body stuff idk #because this is tumblr im not talking about like outright biggoted or caricatured depictions #also sometimes certain things just outright dont make sense for a character - like this characters time period or personality or #situation or level of self awareness don't make sense for certain things #and like.. its fine #misc #delete later #probably #its not like im not sympathetic but telling someone not to draw art of a character that looks like themself because it makes YOu feel bad #about your own apparance is fucked lol #idk how common this even is and i don't go looking for this kind of thing #but it stuck with me lol

I'm pretty sure someone was complaining about the way I drew anthro women on my art blog and grouped me in with you so now I'm looking at your art and I'm kind of proud to be grouped in with you. I love your work

Oooough I'm so flattered! I found you through that painting of your alligator woman a few days ago, your rendering is off the charts gorgeous.

Much worse and less respectable than actual wb today I’ve been flightrisingening my stupid gay telepathic lizards

#im SO tempted to keep some of these #I think I’ll be keeping the solid pink one or the cookies and cream one. maybe #lamia stuff

Your Picogryphs seem to remind me of Furbies. Were they actually inspired somewhat by these toys or was it a mere coincidence they happen to look like Furbies?

I don’t really know if it’s something that can properly be called a coincidence, but it wasn’t really fully intentional or something I set out to do. Picogryphs (and mouseworld as a setting in general), is very specifically made with the intent of being something that would have been catnip for my child self, ie. it is beastiariable setting focusing on a world of tiny people. Initially they were more outright little mouse gryphons, but I started playing around with phylogeny and spec evo for fun, since that kind of world building appeals to me in almost a puzzle box sort of way and I love making up weird organisms. But the design that resulted in wasn’t that compelling to me in the end, and ultimately the kind of vibe I want is more like, borrowers or gnomey (or like, fantastic planet,,, (those tiny people are not actually tiny but yk what I mean)) so I decided to try and make them a bit more human-faced while still keeping them compliant with the spec evo I’ve been doing, and I liked the effect of covering their mouthparts with a bulbous lip that looked a bit like a cartoony nose.

#I was thinking cartoon gnome more that furby is the gist #they do still have horizontal bug jaws also. those didn’t go away #mouseworld #answering #I like the idea of a very cute and whimsical setting like pikmin or the dark crystal but with like #very hard biology #not even a more gritty tone or whatever just like an obnoxious autistic focus on ecology and taxonomy in a world of goofy weirdo animals

Dactylodonts are a primitive group of small, swift rhombopeds, the most basal of this lineage capable of truly running on sturdy, articulated oral and anal limbs. The bottom image depicts a courtship display, in which one hopeful dactylodont presents a male gametozoid to a prospective mate, its gift helpfully accentuated with a ring of dead leaves.

#Do you like my moped rat #that i drew last year and then didn't post for some reason #actually the reason is because i was writing posts with a framing device that required a hard decision about what landmass these things #live on and i hadn't made that decision so felt like i couldn't procede until i had #which i now have #so its fine #i wanna tweak this design i think the little flippers should at least be kickstand length.#im struggling to write at all but i still want to share the art before it gets TOO old #these are related to the ancestor of the three legged “dogs”#gametozoid is a word i pulled out of my ass literaly right now bc i don't know what else to call that.#the 'vertebrates' ive been playing with have fun alternation of generation stuff that i'd like to get into more #spec bio #mouseworld
