EDIT: Hey Thanks For All The Notes! I Did Some More but I Think Tumblr Is Nonfuctional So If You Enjoy

Pines Pile | early 2019

Another crosspost since this seemed to be pretty popular on DeviantArt! Thanks to my buddy Kat for the perfect title. :D

One of my favorites just for how sweet it is. I cannot get enough Pines cuddles!

Original description under the cut. <3

“A remake of an old piece of mine that I loved the concept but kinda hated the outcome of, haha. There are few things I love in this world more than Pines cuddles, so it's a more personal piece to me. And yeah I know that's kinda weird considering they're not my characters but pff but what can I say, I love these guys. It was nice to go back to cel-shading again for a bit, quite interesting! I did however give in near the end and cover like the entire thing with a free cloth texture though because I was getting sick of working on it, evident by the background, which is, uh, not great, but hey, it's presentable for the most part! Plus, I'm tired of not posting, haha. I noticed when I was finishing this up that this is kind of similar to an old piece by Archervale. This was totally unintentional, my apologies!”

Got some stuff done today! This is Bella and she is the skrunkliest creature to ever exist. Top image is the simple ref I just made her and the bottom image is my original drawing of her

I really needed a simple fun-to-doodle Certified Shape and also I love the demons in Binding of Isaac so two birds one stone

My finished entry for the CoS thumbnail contest! Oh man I worked my ass off on this, made half a piece (poll winner; #7) and then decided I didn't like it and went with my personal favorite. Churned this baby out in about four days which is quite the speedrun for me.

There are a ton of super gorgeous entries so I don't expect to win, but I think I have a pretty decent chance! Either way I hope you enjoy it! :]c Happy recode release week!! I am beyond hyped fr

And as usual Art Fight is getting my ass moving, hooray! This year I'm trying "batification" attacks to hopefully kick-start my motivation and it's working great actually. I'm very proud of my anatomy right now, it feels nice to like my own art again. Now I just gotta find something to paint!

F2U Complex Anthro/Animal Generators

Anthro Generator

Animal Generator

Insect Generator

It’s recommended that you read more about it here https://www.deviantart.com/canischiroptera/journal/F2U-Complex-Animal-Anthro-Generators-824271401 ! Lots of explanations, tips and tricks!

Heya, guys!   So, I'm a picky nerd who loves me a good generator. I wasn't satisfied with existing animal generators, most of them being very non-specific (i.e., "parrot", "bat", "mouse"...boring!), and so I figured I'd create my own!  After garnering an initial list of animals, I decided to take it a step further -- let's add occupations, personality traits, nationalities, and a bunch more to make a more extensive generator for creating a basis for interesting characters!   I've compiled what I believe to be the most extensive anthro/animal generators on the internet. We're talking every mammal, bird, fish, reptile, and amphibian on Earth, 5MB of text, takes like a full minute to scroll through the source code at top speed! Countless personality traits, original attributes, body types, and so, so much more await in this puppy.

Feel free to use however you want. Mix and match aspects, ignore parts, add parts, whatever. Please, enjoy! I hope you find this as inspiring and helpful as I have in such a short time.  If you have any questions or suggestions, lemme know! Thinking of maybe adding color palettes in the future, though frankly it's real hard to edit this thing, lol  This wouldn't have been possible without thewebsiteofeverything.com/ , Wikipedia, and countless other sources that I ruefully didn't record. All credit goes to them, I simply compiled everything together to inspire myself and fellow artists. <3

Another guy <3 He just wants to fish for god's sake

If I lay here ... would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I was sad one night and wanted to watch something fun and colorful, so I tried Fionna and Cake and really liked it! Adopting Prismo as my surrogate blorbo he is such a pal (everyone's pal, for that matter)

I've been enjoying getting to explore some new fics, which is what this was inspired by (primarily this one), and then it went kinda off-the-rails and got experimental hahaha but that's okay, I was having fun!

do you know of any yvbill fics? I can never find any

There's one on ao3 (NSFW because the 34th rule of the internet remains eternal) but aside from that I haven't come across any, unfortunately! Perhaps still a bit too niche. You and me should change that, anon. :D

Kandil Deti | mid 2019

Possibly my favorite piece, period. Originally made for a contest, my hard work payed off and this gorgeous girl is now mine!! 

Original description below the cut. 

Her TH is here if you wanna read more about her! <33

“Alright, so I came across body gold [amuri DTA] a while back and instantly fell in love, what an incredibly gorgeous lady she is <3 I absolutely needed to try for her and immediately had several ideas, but I went with this one because of how it represents her and the story I have in mind for her. I'm very pleased with how it came out!“

I've been thinking a lot about Euclydian biology lately, specifically in regards to pigmentation thanks to this awesome ask I got on a side blog, and wanted to illustrate some of the ideas I had. Super quick lazy sketches but hey, maybe some of you will dig this! Nerdy stuff under the cut, will make a bit more sense if you read the aforementioned post

Euclydians have a genetic predisposition towards a "resting" color (in Bill's case, yellow). The opposite of this state (full "flexing" of chromatophore-controlling muscles) is also predispositioned, which is what's seen in the threat display. This rapidly stimulates the individual's metabolism and gets their blood really pumping in preparation for conflict, but is also somewhat costly in terms of energy, so is typically only flashed rather than maintained as Bill does it

"Teeth-peeking" is the cute zoology term I came up with for when a Euclydian displays a couple teeth overtop their eye without fully switching into mouth-function, usually as a threat but sometimes a sort of stim when they're hungry

Communicative flashing ("Chromatic") has a few languages. The most primitive is Simplified Emotive which is a quick display of mood, while the most modern is Traditional Chromatic, wherein patterns of color serve as words. Words in Traditional Chromatic are not ciphers like they are in TBoB and there aren't always direct translations into English

There are a couple accepted ways for a naturally colorful Euclydian to signal an emotion or "syllable" that matches their color, typically either by a subtler change in value along the edges or by changing everything BUT the edges

It's probably worth noting that Chromatic of any variant is considered a secondary, uncommon language in modern Euclydian society. It's simply more efficient and easier for most to speak, though I think Simplified Emotive probably stems from the natural threat display and so it's more intuitive. It's not unheard of for someone's edges to flash "angry/surprised" (◼) for a second if you bump into them on the sidewalk

A memetic blush is a learned behaviour in which individuals appear to fluster by a reddish shift in color along the face, edges and vertices. This might just be something Bill (or hypothetically other Euclydians who come into contact with humans) does I'm not sure yet but it's cute so

Given the body needs to conserve more energy when fighting illness, it's not uncommon for chromatophore muscles to weaken or spasm in order to lessen metabolic strain, giving the individual a patchy look that often reveals the naturally white skin below the chromatophore layer

When rigor mortis occurs in a dead Euclydian, all the minute muscles in control of chromatophore dilation contract all at once, rendering the entire body white. Because of this, white is considered a bit of a grim color in Euclydian culture; you know emos are wearing all-white instead of all-black

Conversely, a perfect, non-tinted grey is a regal shade because it's seen as a sign of fitness and strength. Maintaining a neutral grey requires very precise control over one's chromatophores to get the balance right and hold it there

Euclydians are capable of training the muscles that control their chromatophores like any other, and as a result can change their resting color with enough discipline! They can also use this technique to give themselves markings. Haven't decided the cultural implications of this entirely, but I think the idea of someone training themselves to match their threat display so nobody can tell when they're angry, for example, is a cool idea. Possibilities!
