here's something stupid: the catcatfish
some quick facts:
they're nocturnal and tend to roam around while awake.
they have keen senses of smell and hearing, but terrible eyesight. despite this, they also have a tapetum lucidum, making their pupils "glow" in the dark.
their fur is short, dense, and oily to waterproof them.
they prefer a diet of mostly meat and are attracted to strong-smelling food like fish, cheese, and anything fermented.
the elongated dewclaw on each front paw is sharp, flexible, and nonretractable. it injects a venom that causes respiratory failure and cardiac arrest in prey and, in extreme doses, humans. veterenarians typically remove the dewclaw venom glands during the neuter/spay procedure.
they grow to an average of 1m and 23kg (3ft and 50lb) but can reach up to double that length and triple the weight!
I drew this yesterday in ibisPaint X on my tablet. Kinda experimenting with colors and stuff. Still finding the "right" art style or something like that.
Anyway it is a species I made up years ago.
I’ve been wanting to be a writer since I was nine, when I sat down and wrote my first story (I made drawings for it and was very excited haha).
Since then, I’ve evolved a lot, having up to 24+ novel ideas in my mind and written down that I want to write.
And now I’m taking the decision of writing one of them for real, starting with the 3rd story idea I ever had, the first idea I ever had with real potential to become a great thing.
I’ve decided to take it seriously now, because I realize I’m not getting younger. If I don’t do it now, when the hell am I going to? Just fantasizing about getting published or noticed by an editor but not doing anything to make that come true, WON’T make your dreams come true magically, with 0 effort from you.
So, I’m currently writing the first version of my first fantasy novel Initiation, in wattpad, with some illustrations! After I’ve finished it on there, I’ll self-publish it on kindle and ibooks with extra parts and the real illustrations with color and extra deets and quality!
I’ve hardly been drawing, so ig have some low-effort doodles of this silly little blorbus
