My stories lmao

[junipews]

I really need to write something, I'm not having the best of times lately.

I need to focus on things that make me happy, like my characters, stories, worldbuilding and HTML coding. Classes, work and commissions piled up and I'm sorry for those who sent me their scugs and I haven't drawn them yet. My mind is a loud with white noise and I'm having a hard time focusing on new ideas.

My main inspo for stories is sudenly gone and I'm living a new life I didn't ask for. Couldn't do anything about it. I wish I could have. My dreams broke, they don't make sense anymore, I can't remember them anymore. Feels like the back of my mind is not speaking to me anymore, like it's angry with me or hurt or... gone. I feel abandoned, left in the middle of a solitary road for my 'own good,' walking aimlessly until I find something… anything.

I know I can do this, but I didn't want this. All this work for it to vanish without a trace. I don't deserve this, I wish it didn't happen this way.

Is this too soon? Is this too late? Is there something at the end of the road? A good city, at least, a nice house or am I walking back?

Anything.

I was listening to the Epic musical and this idea wouldn't leave my mind until I drew it

rainworld slugs! :V I put way too much thought into this

other notes under cut cause I thought about it a lot

their skeleton isn’t normal bone, it’s actually a mix of normal and prismatic cartilage! this keeps their bones light and flexible while still giving them the ability to tightly grasp and bite things. they all have prismatic cartilage for their jaws except for spearmaster, which discourages them to eat using their mouth since it’s extremely time consuming and uncomfortable given that their diet otherwise isn’t intended to be small plant particles and plankton.

spearmasters spines/spears from its tail are also full of digestive enzymes. this won’t kill prey by itself, but once downed spearmaster can just chillax as the enzymes do their thing inside the body and the visceral mush is returned to spearmasters digestive system for processing.

all of them have some sort of internal shell in their mantle except for saint. Rivulets is vestigal and very thin to allow for more complex movement but they do still have it. In the evolutionary timeline of scug—>furred scug, at some point it became more efficient to develop thick, dense fur that could deal with the cold while simultaneously protecting them. saints pneumatostome is also almost entirely gone and is more just an unusually soft spot on their back.

I interpret artificer, gourmand, and watcher to be apart of a “future” generation of scugs far beyond survivor, hunter, and monk—though obviously not as far into the future as saint is. they developed cerata to mimic lizards, since a lot of organisms will think twice before messing with a lizard rather than a slugcat, which is (typically) much less deadly.

hunter, artificer, and spearmaster are all malnourished, which isn’t super noticeable in the way I drew them but I’d just like to point it out cause it’s important 2 me lol.

Introducing...

Juniper! Protagonist in my story called The Mirror Cage!

I'll win a point every time I talk about my characters since I'm, apparently, very shy about them, and I only share them with my friends lmao. So yeah, make me talk about them, ask me things! :]

Juniper on Toyhouse, too! ✨

[junipews]

Was anyone else's first instinct when seeing these to just-

[junipews]

Finished watcher's campaign yesterday, that was fun

[ending spoilers]

Having fun + playing with toys + don't care

[junipews]

Happy Easter to those who celebrate!

[junipews]

you can have one watcher meme

[junipews]

Could you slug cat my baby 🙏 (either version)

Is this guy based of a sea bunny? I love their design 🥺🩷 Thank you for the request, hope you like it~! They'r ready to hunt!

[junipews]

Hello, i don't have an OC but do you mind drawing scug versions of Odd and Aelita from Code Lyoko. If you are intent on doing just one, the Aelita alone is fine!

I have never interacted with anything Code Lyoko related, so I hope this looks okay! Hehe, I did my research though 🤭 Thank you for the request, it was fun to interpret them as scugs~

[junipews]

decided that watcher dropping was an excuse to touch up my old scug designs! the wawas of all time

[junipews]

if you don't want to do my other request for any reasons:

may i suggest my oc the inventor? she's insane and i love her

Someone take that grenade off her hands!! I loved her design, so unique 🥺💜 The little sprite is also so cute!! Thank you for the request again, hope you like it ✨

I'm taking slugcat oc requests! Feel free to send a ref through my ask box! 👉

[junipews]

Hello! Can you draw my OC named Stargazer? They’re dying wish upon a star and they’re purpose is to help lost slugcats to find their home!

I LOVE Stargazer! 💜 I want to play a Stargazer campaign if there's ever one, I mean LOOK AT THEIR DESIGN, and I also love the concept 11/10!

Thank you for the request, I hope you like it, I really had so much fun drawing them~!
