1: front page of the sketchbook cus i like to do something a little more elaborate for that. however i didnt have any ideas so i just drew me with the three groups of characters/people that i like to draw (my sumakha ocs, hivemind, and my comatelma ocs)
2: doodles from after kenny beecham's hivemind appearance adding him to the hmfcu (hivemind furry cinematic universe). usually i avoid giving people domestic cat/dog sonas but i associate dogs with sports so much and ALL i know about kenny is that he likes basketball. so hes a dog
3: notes about furry shit. one thing about me is i love to draw comparative furry anatomy diagrams
4: bunch of quad doodles after the release of scrapyard III (mostly based on the easier mv but guess who quad is also there). i changed his fursona to a sheep literally RIGHT after my hiatus started LOL
5: random hivemind stuff from the same day as the scrapyard III doodles
6: i have catboy toxoplasmosis (also ft. my friends and i at the bottom)
7: redraw of one of hiveminds instagram pics :-) so cute creachers
8-9: redraws of older art (first one is here and second is... something i never posted LOL) but in my Silly Mode artstyle that i developed so i can have a little fun whenever im feeling frustrated with my Normal Style. it's somewhat inspired by @crosssssky's hivemind art, please go follow them!
10-11: oc stuff (and graydon and dignan at the bottom of 11). love hivemind but im hoping my brain will cool down on them in 2024 cus im planning to actually Do Something with my ocs this year. idk when ill actually post about that tho
12: bidding farewell to 2023... im so good at drawing exactly four different furry species now
a bunch of nonsense about insect agriculture/domestication in sumakha, specifically with two species called kkiban and mail bugs
i know my handwriting in my sketchbook is complete ass so heres a transcription of all of this under the cut
1ST PIC:
RIKKIBAN: collect food for the hive and give it to dukkiban for conversion into easily digestible dew
DUKKIBAN: convert solid food into liquid which is regurgitated and put into food storage for others in the hive
EKKIBAN: multiple "queens" that lay smaller eggs
2ND PIC:
[no text]
3RD PIC:
this is just a rikkiban, but dukkiban and ekkiban can be up to 2x bigger
4TH PIC:
KIBBAN PRODUCTS
wings, accessories, and chitin for ornamentation purposes; dukkiban dew for cooking or adding flavor like a jam; deep fried larva (it's like popcorn chicken), just bug meat. whatever; eggs that are usually eaten like caviar
5TH PIC:
DUKKIBAN
eat food collected by rikkiban and feed others dew thru trophollaxis
6TH PIC:
EKKIBAN
a bunch of queens in each colony that lay all the eggs, real big compared to rikki/dukkiban
7TH PIC:
ANNOSHIKI STYLE:
pemadae eat arthropods w/ shell on for extra protein + they can chew it real easy, so they just fry abdomens w/ exoskeletons on and CRUNCH
RIKKI + DUKKI (still filled with dew)
8TH PIC:
MAIL BUGS
most bird niches are taken up by bugs so carrier pigeons are also bugs
standard for letters and small packages, dragonfly for quick light delivery, beetle for heavy packages
follow pheromone trails to mail dropoffs
bug nests lined w/ pheromones
reception areas (door in back)
banners and flags
all cylindrical
9TH PIC:
pheromone sample around neck (reminder of where to go and lightly refreshes the pheromone trail). also usually diff. colors so sapients can tell the routes apart
parcel containing letters or small packages, tide tightly on. attendants at stops check the parcel for any mail in their region, take what's for them and send the bug home or further down the route
i dont have a worldanvil page for this guy yet loooool but here is my main man sheyann. he grew up as an annoshiki noble mage but got kicked out at 25 for disrespecting authority and is now just a wanderer w two other dudes (who i will post on here... eventually).
he also lost a syllable of his name when he went down in status; his name used to be sisheyann. annoshiki culture emphasizes a connection btwn class and name length where three syllables is for nobility and two is for commoners
he specializes in body magic which is basically just any magic involving manipulation of living matter (excluding plant matter). a lot of his work is on medicinal uses of body magic + trans stuff (he basically did his own transition)
first doodle of him all i knew was that i wanted to make a weird snakeboy
scrubby <3 the benefits of being a noble mage are that you have the money to pay people to just give you baths. very helpful when your lower half is huge and hard to move
