Zephyr

Rain World obsession wasn't just a phase (header image is my slugpups being better than me at the game rip)

[zephyrtheslugcat]

Hi everyone! This is my Rain World side account to my warrior account, @beewingthewarriorcat (which has been inactive for a LONGGGG time and I never did much with so I guess this will be my new main account ehehehhee)

Have a picture of my Rain World sona, Zephyr the Aviator (drawn by my pal @cyan-lizard )

Zephyr is a simple slugcat, who dreamt of flying, so one day they made themselves a jetpack out of vulture parts and they're now just vibing and enjoying life, not a very elaborate backstory but I felt it didn't need to be, they're just a little guy

They use they/he/she pronouns, with they/them preferred (like me yay)

[zephyrtheslugcat]

I have returned!

To post some gore art and then leave once again! Yay!

CW: GORE, ORGANS, STITCHES, POSESSION

If you are sensitive to these themes, please don't look

Ok, short explanation

The guy getting torn apart is my scav oc Gourd (get it, it sounds like gored), I usually refer to him as Gore Scav though

He was a scavenger who longed for a way out and found an Echo, who told him about the Ancients and their search for death, after which Gourd seeks them out all the time, because the Echo promised him a way out and to tell him all about the Ancients

But the Echo, Glorious Light Refracting from Endless Star (Glorious), was in fact not planning on helping him, not really...

You see, when you get dumped into the worm pond as one of the first, screaming and fighting not to go, you don't... ascend as hoped

Glorious never wanted to die, they were forced to and now they are trapped as an Echo

So they possessed Gourd when he trusted them and Glorious currently tries to assemble a body that resembled their old one (hence the multiple fur colours and such), to get a shot at living again

Glorious may seem evil here, but they're just a silly goober, your honor, I swear

(the colours are picked from the official art, mainly - wanted to figure out how those work!)

[mohhhs]

Rainworld oc! Yes he is a walking singularity bomb, bro is like Artificer on steroids

Huh also Clip studio Paint decided to mess things up & I had to ruin the image quality

[zephyrtheslugcat]

Yo look at this, that's a really neat concept ya got there man

[zephyrtheslugcat]

Oh yeah and I also drew some quick lizards on my homework, unrelated to my challenge, I really liked them, so I thought eh let's post them, also a sneakpeak for lizards yet to come I guess?

Also at this point I'm actually at day 49 of the challenge, so um there's loads of content ready for you all

(Only lizard I haven't drawn so far is the blue one, funnily)

Here we have a pink lizard!

A front facing green! (First time I drew sth front facing that doesn't look like crap)

A red lizard! Wonder what it's looking at tho?

And a little strawberry lizard!

Oh

oh no

[zephyrtheslugcat]

What who this? Certainly not Zephyr? They've been absent way too long

Yeah so anyways, I was camping, so like I was busy, anyways have day 8, which is the Train Lizard

Ok as you might be able to see, I gave this lizard longer and more straight legs than the others (because they are runners) and added a pair of horns, which you will see on the red lizard wayyyyy down the line too, this is because I thought it looked cool and made them look almost like dragons

Anyways funky guys, I got bored halfway through drawing it tho, idk why, um I actually am doing an Inv run right now, because I finished all my regular campaigns and Inv was left so I went, sure why not

I am on switch by the way, so no, I don't have dev tools or mods, or anything to help me fight off the hellscape that's Invs campaign, so like wish me luck!

[zephyrtheslugcat]

WHAT I DIDNT MISS A DAY, YOU'RE WRONG

Anyways! Here's Day 7! On time!

This is still an old favourite of mine, the Centiwing!

Man I don't like centipedes a lot in game, but oh my they're so fun to draw!

Some headcanons:

Centiwings only have six pairs of legs left, the rest evolved away, they don't walk as well on land in my au, but they can of course fly and that's certainly terrifying

The mouth pincers are modified legs to me, they adapted in order to be able to actually catch and eat things

Eat things? Why yes, centipedes were constructed for their electricity, to zap tiny or big pests for the Ancients, they were never meant to be able to survive in the wild, this is why you don't actually see them eat their prey a lot, their "natural" instincts still tells them to zap first, eat later

[zephyrtheslugcat]

For Day 6, I drew another lizard species, the Black Lizard

I think that on the family tree of the lizards, pink and black lizards are really closely related, sharing the same body shape, except for their colours and the black lizards lack of eyes

Wait

Because they have no eyes

Are they lzards?

These are the important questions

Bonus unpopular opinion:

Filtration system is really not that bad, once you know which tunnels to take, not even with the black lizards

I also liked Rubicon so maybe you shouldn't listen too much to my opinions though

rate the drip

[zephyrtheslugcat]

10/10, dripiest of slugcats

[zephyrtheslugcat]

Welcome to Day 5! Today is the first lizard out of the bunch and I only just realised that the way I draw their paws really fluctuates over the course of this challenge as I get better ahahahaha

But I'm still proud of this one! Meet my version of a Cyan Lizard!

Some notes on this lizard

I believe all lizard species descended from the Caramel lizard, with that being the one who is all round good adapted lizard and wild lizard, with most current species descended from it, with green being closely related to it and so on

Cyan lizards are the lizards that have been modified the most out of all species, even going as far as having gas expulsion vents, their body rings

Their jump ability glitches when one of those rings is hit, as seen in game, because the gas just flies out and the lizard can't control it anymore

Overall, a very cool lizard, but...

I prefer the yellow pack on my wall run over the cyan gang, like, a lot (still better than white lizard hang out squad higher up the wall)

[chaotic-minds-think-alike]

Scav study yipeee stylization later until I’m more comfortable drawing them

[zephyrtheslugcat]

MONKE MONKE MONKE MONKE

[zephyrtheslugcat]

Another small aquatic creature for Day 4! The Snail!

On paper, these guys are very cute critters, so on paper I drew it cute

In reality they are more annoying to me than Garbage Worms but hey they're cute so fineeeee I'll deaaal with theeeeeem

Some hcs I may or may not have made up on the spot:

-The way the "pop" works is similar to how a pistol shrimp makes noice, they move rapidly back and their mostly hollow shell enhances the sound

-They were probably once modified creatures, but they have adapted better to life in the wild than say the hazers from yesterday (hahahahaa get beached NERDS)

All relatively small guys so far, but get ready, tomorrow, I'll post the first lizard drawing :] Any guesses which species it is?

Stay tuned for that!

[zephyrtheslugcat]

We're back for Day 3! The next critter I got randomly was a Hazer!

Fun fact: I tamed my very first lizard (Pinky), by using one of these guys as food!

But other than that, they're just silly little guys to me, most likely purposed organisms created for their ink and after that they became semi successful, cause they die when they ink and they beach... a lot, but somehow appear in a lot of campaigns

But at least they have cool camo abilities they evolved? Which translates into me giving them nice little gradients and spots?

They may die quickly but they got a nice design and that counts for something

[zephyrtheslugcat]

Day 2!

For Day 2, I drew the little bouncy boys! In game they actually do have these little back legs, which I never noticed before, my hc is that they are vestigial limbs, meaning they had a use in the past but are slowly evolving away over time, in favour of stronger tail clubs with which to jump

They do use their legs to grab onto poles, they don't have enough power to cling on (hence why they slide down), but they do hold the yeek in place for the jump

I also think they were never modified by Ancients and just evolved in the wild, since they live in outer expanse and not really in any of the iterator surroundings

They are good critters, I love them a lot

[zephyrtheslugcat]

Hello tumblr user zephyr the slugcat👋 Art thou a slugcat🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Wow my first ask! And I didn't see it for a couple of days!

Why yes, I'm a slugcat, you can see that because I am Protagonist Shaped!

Don't mind the fact that the other account is called the king of scavengers, I have a weird family lol

[zephyrtheslugcat]

Heya everyone! I'm finally busting out my pencils and I'm gonna draw every Rain World creature! You heard that right, every single one of them!

Each drawing will be accompanied with a few thoughts and or headcanons

Suggestions are welcome, but I already prepared up to day 20, in case I couldn't post some day, but I will keep suggested things in mind, if I haven't drawn them already!

Oh and every 10 days, it's slugcat day! So keep a lookout for those!

For day 1, I drew a scavenger! I love scavengers a lot in the game, maybe because I love monkeys but hey who can blame me

For this little guy, I added a "toolbelt" of sorts, to hold their spears and grenades, because if scavengers can make a bomb, they might as well make something to carry it with, right?

I also believe scavenger fur isn't really soft, it feels more like how quils would feel than how fur would feel

Anyways, I hope you'll enjoy this "Zephyr draws all the creatures" challenge! See you tomorrow for day 2!
