#eel demon

[dracoria-archives]

I think I like the fishy ones more with color... :<

@the-bone-eating-vulture-kirin you have siblings :3

I don't have enough light brown colors for the goat demons, so they ended up. Not great.

Ye 👍

Idea.

You know these guys? Sure you do. They're the eel and newt demons, obviously. But. I've been thinking. Cuz like.

You've heard the whole "dragons couldn't exist because a six limbed vertebrate doesn't exist" argument. Most people take the artistic liberty to give their dragons wings anyways because fuk biology or something. I'm a person that does this. Because. I liek traditional four legged, two winged dragos :3

But this brings me to my predicament here.

There's never existed an animal that can breathe air and underwater. You have marine mammals with either blowholes or sealing nostrils and the like. Or fish and other underwater creatures that have some form of gills. But never a crossover. The closest I can guess of a crossover is the occasional amphibian that can breathe through its skin.

So. Idea.

Eel demons have traditional gills along their ribcage. The way I understand gills is that fish swim with their mouths open to allow water to pass through their gills (which are connected to the mouth/throat kinda). Since I want the eel demons to also have lungs, I'm not gonna connect the gills to their mouth. We're gonna put two openings right around the collarbone area that feeds water into the gills :) the lungs will be connected to the nostrils (not the mouth, still gonna try figuring out how they speak without that) the nostrils are sealed constantly and need to be forced open consciously and kept open for them to breathe air. This way, water breathing is their usual method, breathing air is their "no choice" method.

Newt demons are different. They have axolotl gills and skin that can absorb oxygen passively. Something something maybe more energy efficient since they live in really deep ocean caves n stuff and there's an oxygen deficiency in that water. Maybe. Idk science. The gills works as both gills and kind of ears? Or antenna. They do like. Echolocation or something idk. But their skin. Has ridges. That can catch tiny air bubbles. And that's how they absorb the oxygen from the water. Outside of water, they still need to be moist in order for their skin to be able to absorb oxygen from the air. Luckily, they don't go out of the water often so it's not much of a problem.

Also, neither one can, like. Really suffocate. Since. The only way they can die is if you like. Destroy their heart. So. Idk what the point of this was, exceeeept- they are still affected by suffocation and will pass out until they can breathe again. So like. It's still. Relevant. Or something. I'm leaving.

Bye bye :D

LGBTQ art

Bisexual fact:

Overall, 4% of U.S. adults say they identify as bisexual, according to an August 2023 survey by the Center. Younger adults are more likely than older Americans to describe themselves as bisexual. the term bisexual was used in Dutch for the first time in 1877, to refer to a hermaphrodite who had their sexual career as both a heterosexual woman and a heterosexual man. Later, the term bisexuality is used to represent both the double sexual-object choice and androgyny.

Aromantic fact:

Aromantic people can also form non-romantic relationships of all types, as well as being able to enjoy sexual relationships. They may also choose to have children, and studies indicate that aromantic individuals are no less likely to have children than alloromantic individuals. One of the earliest uses of the modern term "aromantic" dates back to 2005. The early online community around aromanticism formed on the Asexual Visibility and Education Network (AVEN), an online community around asexuality, and social media platforms such as tumblr.

Progress fact:

a reinterpretation of multiple iterations of the pride flag. The original 'rainbow flag' was created by Gilbert Baker in 1978 to celebrate members of the gay and lesbian political movement. It comprised eight coloured stripes stacked on top of each other to evoke a rainbow, a symbol of hope. Daniel Quasar (xe/xyr pronouns) is the creator of the Progress Pride flag, a combination of the original Pride flag by Gilbert Baker, the Trans Pride flag by Monica Helms in 1999, the More Color, More Pride flag introduced by Amber Hikes in 2017, and a black stripe from the Victory Over AIDS flag, inspired by Sergeant Leonard Matlovich, to represent those lost during the AIDS crisis. This flag design “forces the viewer to confront

Aro/ace fact:

Aromantic asexual people are colloquially known as "aro-ace" or "aroace". Aromantic individuals are also able to experience platonic love and may have committed friendships, and some form intimate non-romantic partnerships called "queerplatonic relationships". the early 2000s as a way for individuals to explore and understand their experiences of limited or absent sexual and romantic attractions.

Agender fact:

agender" was actually on the Internet! It was born in the year 2000, on an Internet forum called UseNet. In a chat room discussion entitled alt. messianic, a user posted the following: “God is amorphous, agender, so image can't be a physical or gender or sexual thing.” Agender is a term used by individuals who do not identify with any specific gender or who experience a lack of gender altogether. Agender people have a sense that their gender identity is completely neutral, or does not exist at all. They may use words like "genderless" and "gender free" to describe themselves.

Trigender fact:

In Ancient Greece, Phrygia, and the Roman Republic and Empire, Cybele and Attis were worshiped by galli priests (documented from around 200 BCE to around 300 CE) who wore feminine clothes, referred to themselves as women, and often castrated themselves, and have therefore been seen as early transgender figures. The exact origin of the term "trigender" is unknown, but it has been mentioned as early as 1998. The prefix tri- means three, so "trigender" literally means "three gender".

Gay fact:

2400 BCE, are speculated to have been gay based on a representation of them embracing nose-to-nose in their shared tomb, though critics say that they were likely brothers. In 1978 Harvey Milk became the first openly gay man elected to public office in the United States, and the first openly gay or lesbian person to be elected to public office in California, when he won a seat on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. "The green (Community) and teal (Joy) in the flag represent Nature. I thought this was important because love between men is often seen as “unnatural” in the eyes of society and in religion. Furthermore, gay men have historically used green flowers and plants (Carnations, hyacinths, etc.) to symbolize our love, reinforcing our connection with Nature. The white stripe is adopted from the Trans Pride flag because trans, nb, and GNC men are often erased or talked over and need explicit representation.

Pansexual fact:

the hybrid words pansexual and pansexualism were first attested in 1914 (spelled pan-sexualism), coined by opponents of Sigmund Freud to denote the idea "that the sex instinct plays the primary part in all human activity, mental and physical". created to differentiate between the bisexuality flag, which also has three horizontal bars. It was created on the internet sometime around 2010, and has gained popularity since then. The Pansexual symbol combines the male, female, and transgender symbols into one, new, P-shaped symbol representing pansexuality.

Demigirl fact:

The earliest demigirl flag was created on April 15th, 2014 by Tumblr user kyriefortune. The second demigirl flag was created on August 24th, 2015 by pride-flags based on Willow's demiguy flag. Another flag was posted on the same day by pride-flags also based on Willow's demiguy flag. A gender identity term for someone who was assigned female at birth but does not fully identify with being a woman, socially or mentally. transgender pride-flag, retaining the central white & pink stripes representing enbies & women, but with 4 added horizontal stripes of different shades of grey to signify a disconnect and/or uncertainty associated with this gender-identity.

Hope you all had a great pride month. Can’t wait to do more of them.

What pride art should I do next year?

"Mon amour à toi toujours."

I have been working on this for... SO LONG!

Moar frolicking eels! But with a little nightmare eel magic happening.

Rolando comes with a very nice bonus: if I want to draw a fullbody pic but don't actually feel like drawing all of him, I don't have to and it works, LOL And Lumi lights up all pretty under the right light (or with the right infestor demon in the dark - no, don't ask, I haven't decided how this works).

This was inspired by the song "Dance D'Amour" by The 69 Eyes.

[tallest-marij]

Demon spawn 😊

I felt like round frames fit better for a little kid. And that it'd be cute af if Kertze was once a tiny, runty little thing, smaller than an infestor demon elver.

I came up with the absolute *worst* but kinda cute dialogue for if these two had actually met as kids (to go along with the picture):

Kertze: “…”

Rolando: “…”

K: "You're pretty ugly, aren't you?"

R, smugly: "My mom says everyone's pretty in their own way."

K, gets a concerned frown: "…"

R, also frowns: "*What?*"

K, scrunching up his face: "And you *believed* her?"

R, closed mouth frown: "Uh, yeah, duh, of course. It's not like she'd lie. She's my *mom*."

K, completely not buying it: "Okay, *suuuure*… Well, I'm Kertzalide, but everyone just calls me Kertze. Want to have lunch with me?"

R: "Rolando. Yeah!"

R, after they sit down: "So, how many people have told you *you're* pretty, Fuzzface?"

K, big grin: "A whole lot of people, Fishbrain!"

R, laughing: "Oh, yeah? Name one!"

K: "Pffft! Easy! My mom!"

R, big evil toothy grin: "…"

K, frowning: "What?"

R: "And you *believed* her?"

K, blinks: "Hey! No fair! You can't do that!"

R, innocent: "Do what?"

K: "I know exactly what you're doing, stop it! Those were my words, I said 'em first!"

R, singsong: "And I threw 'em baa-aack!"

R: "So, both our moms think we're pretty."

K, nods.

R: "And they're both wrong."

K: "Ummm...?"

R: "'Cause you'd be real ugly in Envy with all that fur wet."

K: "And you wouldn't get *any* work in Lust." (Too young to actually know what work in Lust typically is.)

R: "Good. 'Cause I don't wanna work *there* anyway."

K: "Where do you want to work then?"

R, grinning hugely: "I'm an infestor demon, I'm going to go to the *human realm!* And I'm going to be the strongest infestor demon there ever was! I'm going to learn *all* the spells and max 'em out!"

K, very intrigued: "The human realm? What are you going to do up there?"

R: "I'm going to read their minds to find all their baddest thoughts and what they're scared of, then I'm going to make them watch 'em over and over and over again. They'll be so tasty when I'm done!"

K: "Wow!"

R: "What about you?"

K, beaming and bouncing: "I'm going to light *ALL THE CANDLES!*"

R, incredulous eyebrow raise: "You're going to light candles?"

K: "And be the very best candlemaker in all of Lust! In all of *Hell!* My sister and me are going to get the business when we're done being kids."

R, smiling: "Well, then maybe I'll buy a candle from you."

K, absolutely tickled: "I'll make you a very special one! Just like you want!"

And, of course, Kertze didn't mean to be mean; I just think that, growing up in Lust, he'd have noticed the value on looks even if he doesn't know why. And Rolamdo definitely doesn't fit the standard set by succubi. And kids are blunt.

And, of course, Rolando has been around a different standard, where efficiency in water is favoured and fur is just not going to cut it.

Rolando and my OC, Lumi, frolicking amidst a feild of seaweed.

Lumi's design is from an adopt by @zernna (I did make some tweaks, notably the horns and backfins).

[renascentiaconceptwork]

I think I've drawn this character for this blog before. I spent three hours the other night figuring out his design. I had planned to color these, but I'm feeling very lazy and unproductive, so I'll just upload the pencil drawings and I'll make a new post if I ever finish coloring him. He still has no name, but I have a full backstory prepared for him now.
