Lately I’ve been in a BSA mood again! So, I’ve been talking to an old friend from scratch, @crowfrombackdoor, and together we’ve reworked her OC, Lina! Lina is a Snapdragoon Monstah from the country of Tulgurezon. She is a gentle giant who got most of her scars from simple mistakes rather than through combat. She loves helping other Monstaz, and is always happy to lend a hand... er... paw, to those in need. She’s actually a little more catlike than I tend to draw Snapdragoons nowadays, but I wanted her design to stick close to the head drawing Crow sent me. (Crow if u wanna reblog this w/ said drawing please do!)
I think now would also be a good time to talk about transforming Monstaz! Snapdragoons aren’t really known to transform, but honestly since all Monstaz are technically the same species, I think it’s possible (plus it just looks cool LOL)! So essentially, transforming Monstaz are Monstaz who shift between 2 or more forms interchangeably, either due to environmental conditions, emotional changes, or even through sheer willpower. Though this is a new name for Monstaz of this type, if anyone remembers Scoops, he is also a transforming Monstah... err... Frizzie.
Anyways, it was rlly fun redesigning Lina with Crow!! Maybe I’ll collaborate with them again to rework a different character of theirs? Probably, since I’ve actually doodled her character Ren a few times as well, just whenever I had free time in biology class lol.
The insectoid design drawing took 1h 17m over the course of 2 days. I... wasn’t really counting for the standard design bc I thought it was gonna be a quick sketch & got carried away haha
