MISC DOODLE DUMP / KUVOROT

a doodle dump of misc sketches/WIPs featuring monsters from my newest headworld "body of kuvorot" ! i've actually made quite a dent in the first sketch and i'm almost done with the full piece. the other three feature two old characters, zentaur and archmun. the last sketch is a concept doodle of a new character, neryssa!

enjoy :)

Centaur designs! Specifically dragon-centaurs. It's an extemely interesting species concept imo but I don't find much about them online. So here's my thoughts! [Rambling below] ->

I wanted to keep the lower body and legs about the same length (I tend to draw legs super long tbh) for a more balanced stance and profile. The wings sit in front of the arms in flight, with the muscles kinda bunched up like a cusion when folded or at rest. I think it'd help prop the abdomen up a little more, although the abdominal muscles of the "human" half are modified and re-positioned to adapt. The god of planking.

Wings talons/hands are at the wrist of the wings because the thought of wing hands are super cool and hot and have a lot of potential. The total limb count (wings are only one set of modified arms, tail wings are heavily modified vertebrae) would add up to 8, legally making them a spider. Limb size and shape and whatnot varies as much as you want, but I chose mine to be leggy, making them fast runners. I think flight-wise they'd be slower, but they'd make up for it with extreme maneuverability and control. Mid-flight combat is def something I wanna draw or animate with them

Rough flight concept animation (tail wings are often just used for steering, shown is a type of power flight that would be used in more difficult conditions) ->

i've had this guy for a long long time, but haven't really done anything with him in recent years. back in the day i had a long-term roleplay going with an online friend, and i grew to really, really love the dynamic between this oc and hers. i think i might've accidentally ghosted her during a time of high stress irl and then never managed to exchange other socials or anything like that with her before the app we met on crashed, burned, and was deleted from the app store (it's been years so i can't really remember the details or exact timeline of us falling out of contact but as far as i remember that's how it went). ever since i've been unable to bring myself to do much with this guy because it just doesn't hit the same without her oc there with him, even though that rp wasn't canon to either character.

anyway i've been missing this character and his lore a lot lately so i'm taking him out of the freezer, finally 😂 his story will be a little more lonely without her oc in it, but. such is life.

and to that friend/rp partner, even though it's been years, ily and i hope you're doing well <3

My flight got delayed and now I'm stuck at the airport for 12 hours. So I cracked open my new sketchbook and started creating more creatures to pass the time!

I really wish I had packed my watercolors in my carry-on instead of in my checked bag. Ah well, more sketch time!

Kinda a big fan of this one lol. I always thought that zilla was a very competent kaiju design and always welcome them to larger kaiju worlds :)
