“Lex” the Electrician | he/him (they/them OK)

💚 Scavengers, Pearls, Jellyfish, Small Centipedes (as food) ❌ Explosives, Red Centipedes, Jetfish, Squidcadas, Garbage Worms, anything else that would bully him

Canon-compliant appearance:

Additional info beneath the cut!

💡 Skills - Can craft electric spears and artificial flashbangs out of scrap metal - Highly resistant to all but the strongest electrical shocks - Above average lung capacity - Naturally bioluminescent (and able to control and suppress it)

⭐️ Attributes - Excellent at problem solving and likes to plan things out - Meticulous with his crafting, but his coordination is otherwise lacking, and he tends to be clumsy - Dislikes fighting and is pretty terrible at it anyways - Emotionally sensitive; while he becomes stressed easily, he’s very patient and considerate of other creatures

📝 Notes - If we’re going by the game’s canon and not using my more anthropomorphized AU, Lex is like a border collie, if slugcats were dog breeds; an intelligent and quick learner who can associate concepts through context - He learned how to craft from watching and copying the scavengers - I like to draw my slugcats with three fingers to let them gesticulate easier, but having three fingers is not integral to his design - My headcanon is that the mark of communication is only visible when the creature with the mark is thinking about it in some way, and therefore cannot be seen most of the time

get you a girl who's a freak

(based on the theory that blue fruits are either hosts for insect pupae, or there's a species whose pupae mimic the fruit)

this took me months to actually finish, but i think i'm finally happy with it!

i wanted to make a remix thumbnail for my modded slugcat/my OC, the electrician, resembling the official remix artwork. as such, this was heavily inspired by @kelocitta's artwork, particularly the use of repeating shapes and geometric angles! everything else was me improvising with my own style of doing things.

it's not very precise because i used procreate for this, whose transformation tools are really... lackluster... but otherwise it's a great program that made the rest of the process a lot of fun. also applying colours in ways i don't normally use them.

i'm not sure if i'll ever make the mod public on the steam workshop, but i am working towards making the mod complete enough for other people to play, so you'll see my art on there as well!!
