Hi! To Celebrate 1000 Followers (‼️⁉️‼️⁉️‼️‼️😤🫢😜🥴😏😚🥰👀)

In the backseat of a taxi, When you told me we were only Two punch-drunk souls all tangled in the wind. And in the backseat when you asked me, "Is the sadness everlasting?" I pulled you close and looked and you and said, "Love, I think it is."

Hello everyone, apologies for the radio silence. In a very tough spot again. Nonetheless, managed to get something done on a whim and wanted to share it :] Hope you're well

For my own safety I can't disclose too much here, but I'm essentially uprooting my entire life again. It's really scary and overwhelming, but things can't continue as they have been. I'm focusing all my energy on ensuring that my sister and I are secure as soon as possible, so expect the inactivity to continue over the next few months.

I'm so grateful to my friends and family for their help. It feels like I've been carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders every day for the past two years. It's exhausting being so scared all the time. I hope we're able to find stability soon.

Lots of love, hope you like this piece ^^ It turned out...absolutely nothing like it did in my head, but I still rather like it. Big thanks to music for getting me off my ass bwahaha this felt nice to do

The bats of Pokémon through the eyes of a bat nerd (who also used no references so they're a tiny bit iffy)

Forgot to bring my tablet so I'm playing with dad's rainbow markers and pens. I kinda dig it actually but my phone cannot take proper photos of them lol

Nerdy stuff about design choices and lots of bat facts under the cut if you're interested in that!

Zubat is mainly modelled after Vespertillionidae and Natalidae species, inheriting both families' pointy faces and dense fur that often covers their eyes, making them appear blind (except zubat actually is blind). Their wings are broad, more akin to a Megadermatidae species, which was just a choice based off of the original design. Broader wings allow for increased manoeuvrability at the cost of speed in real species. Their legs are long and spindly, another trait borrowed from Natalidae.

Golbat still has zubat's woolly fur to keep its rounded appearance but has narrower wings as well as stumpy ears and a large mouth, all traits gleaned from free-tailed bats, the latter a trait specifically of the genus Otomops. They really do look like that sometimes yes. Its large feet are borrowed from the fish-eating myotis (Myotis vivesi) who frankly has even bigger feet than this guy. Bats are wacky lol

Crobat has a mostly furred face similar to Pteropid, Rhinolophid or Phyllostomid bats. Its ears are more fantasy and not modelled after any existing species. I had hairy-tailed bats of the genus Lasiurus on the mind while interpreting the little tufts on its bum, here they're meant to be fluff hanging off the uropatagium. It has very narrow wings similar to Molossid bats, and it fits for such a speedy Pkmn! (Fun fact: a Molossid bat was the fastest recorded vertical flight of any animal)

Woobat is inspired by Desmodus species, more commonly known as vampire bats. While their cousins the Honduran white bat (Ectophylla albus) is more commonly the interpretation, I chose Desmodus instead for its flat, heart-shaped noses and similar dental structure. The excess in fur is more attributed to the same families as in zubat, but with some more Lasiurine influence.

Swoobat's choice in inspiration was pretty obvious to me at first: the heart-nosed bat (Cardioderma cor)! The furred face and ears joined at the base is indeed inspired by Megadermatid bats but otherwise it has probably the most mixed influences of all these designs. I once again took the flat, heart-shaped nose from Desmodus species like I did with its pre-evo, and then its tail was adapted from Rhinopoma species (fittingly known as mouse-tailed bats!) as well as Molossid (free-tailed) bats. From an entirely nerdy perspective swoobat is easily my favorite, it really highlights a lot of chiropteran diversity whether intentional or not.

Noibat has joined ears like swoobat, inherited from Megadermatid bats (and sometimes Molossids) and is the first to have an actual nose-leaf, partially influenced by trident bats of the genus Asellia. I was kind of imagining that the bare patch between the tufts of black fur were present because they housed scent glands like in Emballonurid (sac-winged) bats who have similar bald patches. (I don't know a ton about Emballonurid bats unfortunately, so I'm not sure whether this is a family-wide occurrence or attributed to certain genii, lol. If anybody knows feel free to tell! I think some Molossids have scent glands too so heck throw them in as well)

Noivern is easily the most fantastical of the bunch, more dragon than bat, but it wouldn't feel right not to include him. He's got the same design choices on the face that its pre-evolution has (joined ears and nose-leaf) but otherwise doesn't have any more specific influences in batty terms. However, I turned the tragus into that little protrusion under the ear of the original design which I thought was kind of clever ;)

Quick rendering practice that will never be finished lol. Inspired by my lovely mutual @charseraph‘s absolutely wonderful triangles; hypnotizing you into following them rn and beholding their beautiful crowns wawawawawa

Originally his surface was supposed to be a lot smoother but I kinda dug the hammered gold look so I went with it! My friends say he looks like an Emoji Movie render. Good.

Edit: thanks for all the notes, guys! I made some edits so that this is easier to read. If you like Bill and spec bio vibes, here's another one I made of some possible psychological instincts a Euclidean might possess. Lots of love :Dc

A study into 90% of Bill's organs

I went so overboard omg but I wanted to try underpainting :Dc See if you can guess what color was the base for each of em! Reasoning for design choices beneath the cut.

Teeth are retractable so as to not puncture the eye when not in use

Lashes are retractable because I couldn't figure out what else to do with them LOL they're pretty thick whiskers and so he'd have some trouble if they stayed in the way, but having them fully retracted would, I imagine, risk them getting stuck or the pores plugging with oil/dirt

Whether or not his tongue is forked varies in canon, just as his blood color does, so I just chose the ones I prefer! I do really like it when people give him blue blood but I think in subtler hues it can make him look a lil nauseous so it's easier for me to work with red

He cleans himself with his tongue because he's a gross little beast and can't just take a shower or something. Ok but really I just thought it was cute what are you a cop leave me alone

Every villain needs to be able to have claws it's like a rule somewhere I think

The second set of eyelids serve to protect the optic nerve but are mainly something I added partially for emoting purposes and partially because of how many times the animators do this thing where his lashes don't follow his lids and it drives me less insane to have a hc about it

I like ya cut, g

Stan you can’t do that you’re gonna give the poor kid a heart attack

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

Secret Santa gift for my buddy Gingler on Toyhouse! I'm pretty happy with it even though I impulsively did line art again >:P I looked at so many thalassophobia images I love their vibes so much. Hope you all had a nice holiday!

It’s that time of the year again!!!

I'm really proud of my progress in 2021, I've become a lot less afraid of painting compared to the past couple, and it's all thanks to sacrificing hyper-detailed pieces for ones that only have what they really need. Happy soon-to-be NYE and screw covid! :D <3

Oops, almost forgot to post!

Hooray, another finished piece, and this time something all for myself! :D This is my boy Ikkii, he's my first fursuit! Well, kinda. He's just a head, saw him for sale real cheap on eBay and just fell in love with him so made the plunge since I've always wanted a suit. Then I asked my buddy Fantia to design the rest of him, and I just adore him even more now!

He needed a pfp and I needed to paint something so here he is in his fluffy glory. ^^ If you wanna see his suit head it's on his TH!

I think about this so often I needed to do something about it
