"All in the name of 'progress,'" he spat. "Yes, go ahead, tear up reality like you're putting it through a paper shredder! I'm sure no one will mind, and that no eternal war will take place."

Scene from a roleplay that took place like 2 years ago :] the iterator belongs to @cyclepast and is named Valued Customer. uhhh Explorer asked Regulator for help with this guy bc VC was hurting void creatures by using their souls to power portals

New Artist reference part two!

Notes transcript under the cut

Notes transcript:

The Artist (inverted form)

Upper Left:

much more active in this form

fur is long & wispy/fiery

colors shift & blend together

tail is always uncurled

glows brightly! #ffdf7e to #95f0ea

Upper Right:

no eyes in this form

can draw on air, unlike normal Artist

ink is almost firelike

Bottom Row:

Transition:

1. bright streaks appear (can also happen when Artist is angry)

2. outer layer starts to burn away

3. paws, tailtip darken as more & more starstuff is exposed

Turning back: black layer covers up starstuff. glow dims, fire weakens

being inverted is exhausting!

[raintailed]

Finally... a nice new Artist reference :]

Notes transcript under the cut!

Notes transcript:

The Artist; it/they/she/vi

Upper Left:

whiskers are optional

ear tips, chest diamond: #130438

tail is usually curled up

faint stars in fur

paws & tailtip ooze ink in various colors

paw sparkles: #fd5e7e, #ff9f74, #ffdf7e; screen 100%

all paws have thumbs

Upper Right:

Artist can bring its drawings to life!

fur absorbs all light

paintbrush tailtip

Bottom Row:

can shapeshift, but doesn't do it as often as weaver

can be melty, especially when tired/stressed

wounds don't bleed - they shine!

black goop is just an outer layer. inside is a star thing!

BIG HUGE ART ARENA ART DUMP!!!!!

so many arts..... none of these guys are mine btw

[raintailed]

raintailed stop forgetting about having a tumblr blog challenge (impossible) /silly

anyways! concepts for a bunch of guys :]

Harmony, who I have drawn before. They are now sillier, as evidenced by the heart on its chest

Sapelli (left) and Snapdragon (right), some rather odd slugpups. They were adopted by a rather ordinary slugcat who is cursed with finding 5 million slugpups (actually, just one of every variant i know of)

Alias and their overseer, Moylt. Based on Breadwinner World roblox game

[raintailed]

JOY!!!!!!!!!!

Reference for a lizard designed by AnimatingDragon on toyhouse :]

All I have for lore for this guy is that it was created by an iterator named Rains Falling, Stars Alight (a sona I guess?) and is an exceedingly joyous creature

[raintailed]

I forgot to share the new refs for these two, Orble and Sketti!

[raintailed]

Whoops! I got silly :]

These are concept designs for Nightcat and Watcher. I separated them for lore reasons and also bc I already liked my Nightcat design

Umm... these two are very connected. Nightcat is some kind of weird time/space traveler and, of course, their path leaves ripples - ripples that resulted in the Watcher.

Nightcat is aware of Watcher, but Watcher does not know who Nightcat is.

[raintailed]

Wheee new references for Chilly's overseers!

First is Icee (it/she), who is kinda stolen from Chilly's creator???? Super Chilly killed an overseer that belonged to their creator and then took the eye to a friend who programmed it so it belongs to Chilly now

Second is Slushy (it/he), who was custom-made for Super Chilly. It is Chilly's first overseer.

Bc overseer personalities are silly to me, uhh Slushy tends to have a short attention span and often gets too close to danger. It tends to appear on ceilings or on creatures' backs. Icee is more focused and cautious. She likes to follow one particular creature for cycles on end, especially large creatures (Chilly has a LOT of green lizard footage thanks to Icee hehe). Theyre both very goober

[raintailed]

yaaay super chilly ref!!! no transcript today because i stayed up all night to do this

also i offer my greatest creation:

oberseers

[raintailed]

hehehe... infected glaggle :] except the infection is green rather than pink bc i was messing around with gradient maps and green looked better

Anyways! This guy is Malley (any pronouns), and he was basically born this way. He usually doesn't feel well, but that doesn't make him any less joyous!
