Just a couple of Malkuls and an itty-bitty Ama’ama. I wanted to do a quick doodle of Malkul as a ZONYATLAN zalcoa instead of a standard one. Without a huge lore-spiel (maybe I’ll do that later), Malkul is the founder of a separate planet of zalcoa far displaced from where he came from. His population’s physiology is a little different due to some out-splicing with other species to prevent a genetic bottleneck, so he has a slightly altered form he walks around as to more comfortably represent his people. Though congenital toe-walking isn’t unheard of in zalcoa, Zonyatlan zalcoa all do it. They also have a proneness to additional feathers that run down the sides of their tail that sometimes join the feathers at the end.

New Tag! #CSketchDaily

I think after putting so much art up for sale, I’ve gotten kind of anal about cleaning and polishing all my leisure-time sketches when they’re meant to be relaxing for me... not that refining a piece can’t BE relaxing, but sometimes you just wanna’ scribble madly and get your ideas out without worrying. I’m going to try and get in the swing of doodling once a day, loose and relaxed, so that I can get some more “me” stuff in and help break up your dashboards with something ASIDE from adoptables and standard commissions. #CSketchDaily is going to be the new tag for these pages (it’s like the #CSketch tag but more specific for these daily doodles). It’ll probably mostly consist of original setting stuff like Myriaverses, but it could be anything depending on the day! That said, hope everyone’s having a nice holiday season so far. Depending on how things go I might try and do some sales or other special things for Crimboob. ;)

I feel bad that I didn’t put up any sketches in the past few days (monthly hit me like a ton of bloody bricks), but I did manage to squeeze these out and I’m going to post them up now. c: Just some doodles of Iehgogs Sah Ergo, Sah Iam, and Medic Chup! Also a tiny Pilot Sic head. I can’t think of much relevant lore to include in this entry, but I can at least say that Iam getting drunk as a skunk and lounging around ass-naked is TOTALLY in character for her. Also, Chup screaming at the sky while naked out of frustration doesn’t sound too weird either. As a sidenote, Iehgog legs are tricky to draw correctly because they’re not quite “typical furry legs”. They’ve got very short calves and a LOT of foot so the silhouette of their legs looks more human than you might expect considering the internal structure. Also, though they’re normally bound for support or at least stuffed in stiff shoes, iehgogs have LONG ASS TOESIES that can part, so it’s more like they’ve got big frog feet on man legs! (Iehgins techincally did this better - a closely related species - but I’ll talk more about them in the ACTUAL REF I’M WORKING ON. . .)

Managed to sequester away enough stress-free free-time and creative OOMPH to do rough concept doodles for some extra-dimensional beings in Myriaverses. These particular friends are similar to Seraphim, sporting six wings, tons of SCARY EYE(markings???)S, halos of harnessed energy, and “afterimages” of their faces and occasionally other body parts from adjacent points in their timeline! They’re the descendants of some ascended zalcoa. Myriaverses mechanics revolve around known science and theoretical physics, so when you get “gods”, they’re not generally all-knowing beings in the traditional religious sense. Gods in this universe are beings who are able to perceive and interact with either space-time itself or the ambient aether/quantum vacuum as part of their biology without supplementary technology. “Mortals” (beings who can’t do these things inherently) can occasionally become gods if altered to have or be made aware of the appropriate anatomy. Sadly, mortals directly exposed to these forces can also experience fatal sensory overload and die on the spot or soon afterwards; this is why new ascendees aren’t common. The best chances of a mortal surviving ascension is gradual, low-level exposure. The way a new god’s abilities express heavily depends on training, how they were “uplifted”, and inheritance in the case of gods born to god parents. Almost all gods have an affinity for either space-time or aether related skills, meaning they can learn one type more easily than the other. This corresponds with the first ability they developed. I’ll probably talk more about this kind of thing in future posts when I get to them, where I can apply all this info to specific people. <3

Some doodles of Marrol and Malekrauv - Elpida Jennet’s parents. They met each other centuries before the “present day” in the story canon they’re part of (weird unexpected time displacement shit is why Elpida did NOT grow up with them in not-medieval times). Marrol met Malekrauv through her job as a food delivery person. Being a very antisocial judge who could barely tolerate another person for more than ten minutes outside the courtroom, he spent most of his free-time inside and preferred to have his food brought directly to his estate. Marrol slowly became his favorite delivery person and eventually a very close friend. Unfortunately, her employer was kind of an ass and they were barely paying her enough to keep her out of poverty, which is what prompted Malekrauv to finally offer her a job working for him in his courthouse. When he found out her place was a literal barn he let her move in and... well, it escalated from there and they fell in love over fancy, silly stuff like good books and art. ... AND THEN THEY HAD KIDS AND ONE OF THE KIDS WAS SUCKED OUT OF REALITY AND INTO THE FUTURE WHOOPS
