for week two of posting my art of the week every sunday of 2026, i’ve both made up a new homestuck oc based on my gf’s homestuck test results and a roblox oc/species i made based on a character called pursuer from both die of death and forsaken. the homestuck oc’s name is ferrox specor which is a combination of the latin prefixes ferox/‘fierce’, acer/‘keen’, and sper/‘hope’. these are self explanatory *i think*. her lusus is a rose monster and i’ve just realized that i never mentioned pulsor’s lusus, which is a horned beast. ferrox is fairly optimistic troll that takes everything personally, she is bossy and loud but she really dies mean the best for her friends. she sees the end goal and strives towards it no matter the cost. i also designed a sprite for pulsor, and who would’ve guessed, she prototyped one of her alt selves for more information. NOW, time for the weekly change in hyperfixation, back to forsaken-like games! i’ve only played roblox once myself but i love the style and lore of games like forsaken and have recently gotten into die of death. to make this short, i’ve fallen in love with pursuer’s design. i’ve made and oc species based on him but not exactly him, the species is not named bone shifters as thats their main quirk. the species can pull apart bone cells and re-attatch them back onto other bones, plus almost every joint is double jointed and it can easily dislocate its limbs, so it can change its skeletal structure to fit its needs. the species also has loose skin ti accommodate for said changes and it is covered in feather-like scales. unlike pursuer, which i see as a more evolved sub-species to this one, the bone shifters don’t need to eat extremely fresh food, but are evolved to eat a large amount of meat as fast as possible. also puersuer can turn invisible but these guys can’t. which i’m saying is because pursuer’s subspecies uses the scales at certain angles to reflect light. cause he can just do that. anyways! this species has both a skeleton and exposed skull (technically not an exoskeleton bc its made of the same material as the inside skeleton) and protective fucked up teeth that are apart of that white skull. underneath that skull is a row of black teeth that is similar to the cookie cutter shark species. the jaw of the bone shifters is like an eels and can extend outwards and expand. it then can crush down what it bites with its extremely string jaw and throat muscles. it bites down, pulls the food in, then clenches around it with its throat. because of it using its whole throat when eating, the nostrils are not part of the throat and go across the sides of the throat to make room. one of each upper side of the throat to take in oxygen, and two on each side of the lower throat to expend co2. it has a more fatty form when humanoid because of the loose skin, but when hunting its skin stretches across the body and the bone cells are used for lengthening its limbs rather than mimic the shape of a person. on the topic of mimics, it can mimic voices and faces by changing the skull shape and throat. the bone shifters have translucent eyelids so it can see at all times. they are pretty messy eaters but do clean up themselves in a way similar to cats as bloody scales are not optimal for hunting. again, on the topic of hunting, they mainly hunt at night as the body is black and their claws are covered in skin as to muffle sound. also the fuckass babies can’t do anything the selves and its hard for them to survive on their own, which they have to do, so the species is pretty rare, but not *too* rare, just a lil exotic. i was inspired by a couple people here on the tumblr when making this species, but its not hard to find who it was if you just search pursuer in the tags of posts. i also made another TWO playlists for this lil guy
one is of roblox themes i like and the other is of peak murder/cannibalism songs. some pretty swag stuff is i do say so myself. until next week, thanks for coming to my ted talk and have a good one my guys, gals, and non-binary pals.
