And I don't know if you're aware, but Apple has just announced the big return of Prehistoric Planet. And this time the theme will be glacial air and among the animals present, Homotherium ( probably Serum).

So what do you think?

YES!! I love them so much they're so Creature 🤍 I'm so glad they look like big-nose small-ear Chad-Chin Freaks. As they should ùvú

Very excited to see what they come up with, Prehistoric Planet has been pretty fun so far with a more naturalistic approach to behaviours shown c:

Though it iiiiis still a bit?? bloodless?? which is meh, let the animals be gross and bloody and dirty! Even in the hunting scenes? I really don't like the censorship in modern animal documentaries :/

Also I love how my blog has kinda become the Homotherium Detector check out this thing I made For The Bit™

Homotherium Detected

I was trying to get this pageset done before the end of June but then realised even if I did, I want a buffer before I can post it so... here's the most important panel!

Background colour scheme is not subtle but shh, I like it uvu

Happy pride 🌈

Next Previous First

Decided to upload this despite the fact my buffer is actually Worse not better than last month, but if im gonna take a mini hiatus it should be after Moon 10 'Cause that's the end of the first "chapter" uvu

Oh! Ice Fang! Now where have we seen that kitty before hmmmmmm

I love Pounceling throwback from Moon 1, look how tinycute!

Pleistocene big cat size chart for Kindred of the Mammoth!

Mostly threw this together for fun after I finished the species sheet uvu

The Fleet Fangs are outmatched by most of their contemporaries in strength, but have stamina for days. The Ice Fangs and Tuft Tails are much more reliant on the initial ambush.

(Also anyone here could pick up Seequa and throw him)

Not depicted:

Quiet Climbers- Cougar. The closest relative of the Swift Spots and still a decent sized animal. However, they're indistinguishable from the modern cougar and only come up to the lionesses elbow. So they were cut for 'small and familiar' reasons c'x

Soft Paws- lynx. Likely very similar to the modern Canadian lynx. Bigger than you might expect, but too small to be a big cat in the same vein as the sabercats.

Spot Stalkers- Pleistocene jaguar. While present in the time and landmass, they likely were not as far north as Kindred's setting, (and steppe isn't their preferred biome regardless). So they won't show up in this comic (phew, that's too many spots).

If you know who the human is, u get a cookie 🍪

Wip but I am enjoying my anatomy glow up!

Old on the right, new on the left.

I did a bunch of studies of lions in particular, and I think I have finally clicked how to draw the chest/neck/shoulder correctly. This also makes their necks look more proportionate (sabercats do have longer necks than lions but they shouldn't look as giraffe adjacent as the old sketches smh).

Note that these are just intended to be the everyman Fleet/Ice Fang (or everywoman technically). I also shaved them to show the proportions better, but they aren't going to lose their fluff in comic c:

Note to future Pav, steal the Ice Fang's carpal pads too

A wee smthn for @mammoth-clangen 's 1k followers DTIYS!

Decided to work in the style I use for comic pages for this because it seemed fitting lol Kindred of the Mammoth is a clangen comic about pleistocene sabercats, and Pav is my brainstorm buddy for Don't Slay the Dragon and every other comic I have in the works, so ur legally obligated to check them out if you aren't already following them!!
