HAPPY SHITTY COMICS DAY!! You're gonna have to zoom in on this one to read it. A TOPIC NEAR AND DEAR TO MY HEART: making characters into funny animals, and why its good for your brainzone to venture outside of cats n' dogs.

Disclaimer: if anyone still feels like writing "well but MAYBE i wanna draw them as cats and dogs!" in the tags: DO YOU KNOW HOW TO READ!!! Show me where I said I'd have you ARRESTED if you even THOUGHT about sketching a husky. GEEZ LOUISE! QUIT PICKIN' FIGHTS!

Trying for a tricky question, who's your favorite human GG character? Like disregarding Gears, yokai, and Valentines. Heck, do any of the human characters appeal to you anywhere near the level that the yokai do? Any of the pathetic little mortal fleshbags catch your eye?

OH MAN that Is a tricky question... It's hard for me to actually like a #Regular Human Character, especially in the face of - like you said - Gears, Yokai, Valentines, Robots etc.... But I do have them! And it's a tie!

On one hand, my accent core main and Old Guy with beard who is also related to gears... KLIFF UNDERSN!! On the other hand, aloof driven by revenge ronin who Lost Everything with a deep scratchy voice and probably enough strength to break a boulder with her forehead: BAIKEN! LASTNAME! Lastname Baiken, I guess.

You'll notice that, although through different perspectives, I've also drawn these two as dragons. This is how you can tell which characters I REALLY like.

Not to mention I styled my Monster Hunter Rise character after Baiken, too!

(Actually... Thinking about it, does Ky count?? I like him well enough, this odd little man)

I've seen some Izuna fanart recently.... and it inspired me to draw a very summer-y Izuna, chillaxin' with a nice drink! Which is probably just orange juice...

Your little AU of Sin and the baby Gear is immensely cute I love seeing him try so hard!! Yet I can't help imagining how pissed Sol would be by the idea that he's technically a great-grandpa now. I mean, he is technically old enough for that, but...

Thank you!!! This baby bonebiter is so dear to my heart... She's so cute!!

I feel like Sol is definitely bothered by it, but he's washing his hands of this. He's raised one gear already, he's done, no one even ASK him to babysit (he's still gonna have to, and it's gonna bug him so bad). Just like for Ky and Dizzy, everyone sees Sin as Just A Kid so it's deff weird for them seeing him trying to raise a little gear.

It's rough at times, but I think Sin would give it his all and try his darndest to raise Polly to be a good gear! All he has to do is last 3 years after all, and then they say she'll be independent and not care about him... Which is fine by him, really! He won't mind it!!! He won't!!!!!!! Sniffle!!!

But... bonebiters grow to be huge, and there will come a time when Polly isn't as portable anymore.. I think she would move to a proper Bonebiter/large gear residence along with other Bonebiters her age when she hits one year.

It's her own choice, and Sin respects it of course! He's not gonna clip anyone's wings! He just weirdly feels sad for no reason, that's all.

Wonder how introducing Unika to her surprise niece went...

A WAR TANK THAT'S AS SWEET AS CARAMEL; ONE-GEAR ARMY OF LOVE! GIVE CARAMELLA A WAAARM WELCOME!!

The youngest member of the Mechanism 5, with only 4 years of age, another gear wrestler oc!

Caramella was once a gear under the control of Justice, killed by Holy Order Knights... But one scientist stole her corpse from under their noses, modified her with metallic, mechanical parts, an engine that vastly strengthened her physical power and enough artillery to arm five whole armies(*)! Unfortunately for him, this massive gear was revived... As a sapient, baby gear, despite her size. Reluctant to follow any orders ar all, what more those to hurt his enemies. He couldn't work with this, so he merely kicked her out.

(*This is hyperbole)

Caramella was taken in by LW, and raised in the very sands of the Gear Wrestling Federation's headquarters' gear-shaped arena. What started as playful tussling with her guardians grew into a love and talent for fighting, and she was recently, officially accepted as an apprentice to the other Mechanism 5 Wrestlers. Everyone already considers her a fully fledged member, but she still feels like she hasn't earned her Golden Gear necklace quite yet.

She is a very kind, sweet young gear, who cares dearly about those around her and wears her heart on her sleeve. She loves fighting, everything cute, fluffy animals (her favourites are wild boars), pink, and music - her favourite band is Speothos Venaticus, and she has a HUGE fangirl crush on the lead singer 😉

However, as gears and humans mingle more and more, she is beginning to feel self-conscious about her origins and her size... She may be the smallest and lightest of the Mechanism, but she is still far bigger than the usual Speothos Venaticus fan, and five times as clumsy... Not to.mention she tends to go berserk when she gets excited - going to a concert would surely spell disaster!

Self portrait with Robo-Ky!

One of my closest friends is hostin'a pannel* at CitrusCon (not attending cuz its 18+ and I'm only 1 dragon gomen) and asked to use some of my art. And I said, hey, sure, just include this portrait of me, to which it said "Oh that's fucking incrsdible"(sic)

(*"Queer analysis of (mostly) niche fighting games (Or, my main is a trans man, fight me over it)")

attempt at drawing dizzy's old outfit

Mama with her bebes

And the classic doggie head tilt

She takes after her mother!

Here you are, my own Unika design. Would've been cruelty to just make her human looking... She's inspired by scottish terriers and binturongs, as well as her mama and her older brother! And Ky's Dragon Install of course 😉

Sin has limbs and fingers meant for pricison and swift movement of a flag.... Unika has ENORMOUS powerful limbs to bash someone over the head with a swiss army knife of a motorcyle. Also, she is spotted, just like how Dizzy was when she was a little hatchling 🤭

[igneous-crocnroll]

I LOVE your Unika design, more than her admittedly kinda bland canon one I love how much flair you give all of your designs, though it does make it very funny to imagine canon like that, having her be distraught and her world rocked like 'what do you mean I'm not human??' and she's just. A giant fluffy dragon dog. What do you mean most people don't have fuzzy terrier ears?? Nerville told her those were normal

HIHII THANK YOU!!! I'm so very glad everyone loved my Unika design just as much as they did for Dizzy and Sin, Ram, El, Jackie and Sol! She's officially part of the family!!

(Ky. Oh my god, man, I'm so sorry. I just can't find anything good for you. I keep feeling so cruel making you the only human)

ALTHOUGH I have to admit I would've liked them to do something different with Unika, I can't really be too upset. I'm just a random furry on the internet who can design a character however she wants, however self-pandering as she wants, without caring about what others are going to think about it. The devs are not only trying to tell a story, but sell a product, and they gotta make her Appealative to as much of their own audience as they can.

I can still be disappointed, but I get why it happened. At least on the internet, we can play tuoys however we want!

Point 2! HAHA YEAH Its been pointed out to me! Yeah don't worry about it Unika some little girls are just fuzzier and more Ears(tm) than others 👍

(If anyone wants me to actually draw Nerville, you're gonna hafta pay me.)

THAT SAID.... THIS GAVE ME AN IDEA!! Perhaps for my next big fic perhaps...

Say a little Unika hatched out of her egg already quite fuzzy? Nerville couldn't work with that. But he knew how to work around it. If he can make gear-berserk-viruses, who's to say he can't make gear cell suppressors (probably different than Sol's style, though)

SO: 1) Unika is raised believing herself to be entirely human. She has gear cell suppressors she's told never to take off, because she has a, er, uh, certain conditiom and those keep her alive. These suppressors keep her looking human and ignorant of what she actually is.

2) Cue episode Unika And Sin Yell At Eachother On Top Of A Building. When she's shot by Sol, the central device linking the suppressors break. So when she gets away...

3) She's faced with a harrowing vision; her true self.

4) Bridget still helps her out (and gives her soup) while Unika has to come to terms with being a gear herself and being lied to her entire life. Bridget probably doesn't mind her looking like #that because she knows Dizzy and Sin and the rest. Whether she connects the dots or thinks "eh, maybe theres other non-kiske-related gears out there", it's up to The Tumblr User Reading This to decide 🫵

Bonus 5) She would maybe return to Nerville anyway, asking for answers. Nerville probably spins a lie about her being the Only Good Gear, raised by a human and fighting against her own kind to make up for the horrors her species has caused and to prevent further catastrophe. She should be Thankful he saved her from being raised into a horrible beast. She is going to Save Humans, and as soon as he gets the suppressors fixed, she can keep living on as a Good Human instead of a Horrible Monster.

And she maybe believes him long enough - until you know what happens!

HAPPY BDAY BIG BOY SIN!!! MMWAH

Ive got no explanation for this one

The biggest bed in all of Illyria...

Listen, alright? Listen. I needed this. For myself. My job here is to provide the cheesiest sappiest fluff possible. And I say Two Certain Gears needed a well-earned cuddlepile with mama* after all that.

(*Dad included)

Some extra doodles. Because I also needed to see Sin all dressed up COME ON NOW

[igneous-crocnroll]

I didn’t realize you made a fucking fursuit for dr paradigm it kicks so much fucking ass??? You got so many of the details holy shit it’s amazing . You draw him really well and translated it to a fursuit

HEEHEEHEEEE THANK YOU!! Quite honestly, it's the fursuit I'm the proudest of. Feels like everything came together in the end to make a fantastic thing! Feels like all my efforts, blood and sweat and tears were rewarded so handsomely :D

There's things I'd change now if I could... I used the old plastic matrices + wire method you could find a lot in early aughts fursuits, which makes for excellent breathability and a lightweight head, but the matrices tend to deform if compressed and take a while to get back to a working shape.

That aside, he's my pride and joy! I tend to boast and brag about him a little, as you've seen, hehe. I do think he's the main thing I'm known for in the Guilty Gear webzone, if you could say I'm "known" to any extent.

I wonder if photos of my Paradigm fursuit have reached reddit or twitter? Even bluesky or mastodon. I don't have any of those accounts, so I frankly cannot know... I only hope people there love him as much as I do here ^.=.^

Speaking of, you can't see in the pictures but I also had:

Two Paradigm keychains and

One Paradigm shoulder buddy!

I've also comissioned a custom Paradigm toploader and a custom Paradigm badge. I have a 3D printed keychain that I modelled in Blender And printes, and im now sanding to paint.

Basically: PARADIGM TOWER!

[igneous-crocnroll]

I like drawing GINORMOUSLY BUFF dudes (gender neutral) being shy and cutesy and, listen, I know that's not how Sin is. So I put the Sin Disclaimer up there. All's good!

Have some more Sin doodles for the heck of it
