selkie posting hours. updated my selkie lore and came up with this design (don’t remember what the old lore was exactly but now the typical form for a selkie is a seal or this freak and a proper human disguise is much more difficult)
colored one is like.,. the first or second sketch so its a bit rough. but anyway ive been trying to improve my humanoid designs and integrate human and nonhuman features better and i like how these guys look. if i could fuck up the body proportions even more it would be fire.
feat. me trying to figure out how willow, my one confirmed selkie character would look in this form (very difficult his features do not mesh at all). also feat a radon fairy glenn drawing.
Progress on my Padawan Clone OC! Haven't decided on a name for them yet, and I still want to do a full background piece, but I figured I would try out some colors and lighting!
If anyone has any name suggestions feel free!
hello tumblr i spent 8 million years on this revenge piece for my friend (i love this character)(she’s lovely)(she eats people)
his user name there is fishies !!!
i also made a quick sketch as a distraction so he would think it was the revenge.,., and somehow i like it better 😔
concepts for a local deity i made a but ago and remembered that it was fucking cool so i developed it more !!!
some lore if you would like:
local deity worshipped by a group of people, deity was once a creature living in the outskirts of the old growth woods in a time before it receded. it was found inside of a large hollowed tree trunk where it had been for god know how long. it would have had a species when it was still normally alive but they are all extinct now. (making it the last of its kind, or maybe not even that considering its been deified.)
it was pretty neutral towards the people there at first, did not really give a fuck. but over time has become more attached. this is helped by the fact that the religious figures of the group modify their bodies and wear clothing to look like the creature, and they become even more similar over time.
religious figures (some sort of shaman/priest deal im not sure yet) have their outfits to look like the creature, masks with feathers, a cape/cloak? with feathers, the scarf to match the neck, and so on. they also wrap their bodies tightly in cloth strips to compress their limbs and lengthen them. (to match the gangly ass look of the creature)
AF revenge on user @/Notta-Crow on there!
i don’t usually draw backgrounds,. or plants.,., so this was a challenge.
also i have just realized today that i accidentally submitted the attack with part of the sketch visible and i’m frothing at the mouth.,., 😔
been thinking about fairies and amping up their design (more) recently. decided since theyre bugs theyll have another pair ‘a arms.,. also the drawing above is losely based on my character azalea if i wasnt tryin to be accurate <3
fairy lore n developments:
also going to give them more distinct physical classes (based on bug castes) (more specifically leafcutter ants are what ive been looking at recently). very intrigued by the giant tank ants that have little ants to defend them so im thinking about military units fashioned after that.
another thing ive decided is that the patterned side of their wings would face forwards for social reasons so other fairies can see while the usually camouflaged side would face backwards (less of a target from behind). this is specifically the opposite of how butterflies have wings to be camouflaged when closed.
still deciding how theyre going to properly protect these giant ass flimsy wings when not using them but all ive got right now is that their wings are much stronger than the average butterfly.,. and perhaps they cover their wings with some protective material.
oh yeah i was also thinking about how due to the social and physical distinctions being based on caste, and the fact that sex would not have much of a difference in their builds, that they socially would not have a concept of gender as related to sex, but their closest approximation would be caste which i think is a fun dynamic (get ungendered idiots)
most recent artfight revenge on @/Nottoofoxy123 on there !!
hello tumblr i spent all of yesterday thinking up fairy designs and lore i actually kinda like them.
here are some cropped parts from the less comprehensible page
it was fun to figure out the life stages (basic bug metamorphosis but humanoid). i spent so long learning about butterflies yesterday.
anyways they’re divided into two classes, sun worshipping elitist weirdos, and the normal ones that are chill. I also decided to give them a sort of eusocial insect societal organization but the chill ones would be a bit less intense in that aspect.
they’re like.,., 1 1/2 feet tall? and live in little fairy cities.
