Spearmaster

I drew this in may, but uh I dont think I have any energy or desire to finish that animation.

I should have chosen a simpler style for this

[reclaiming-entropy]

can you draw the rot leviathan in Five Pebbles’ can? Its from the watcher DLC!

Oh, I know this man well. I got stuck in UE for 15 goddam minutes. Reality door Stuck. Bonus sketches:

drops this and leaves...

scug designs!! wanted to show my own take and make an au.

watcher design + yapfest about the lore under the cut :)

in this au ascension by void fluid is incredibly difficult and complicate since subterranean fell on itself because of the various tunnels shortly after the ancients went extinct.

the only way to permanently die is completely destroying one's body, either by oneself or someone else.

the lore begins the same way, messenger (spearmaster) is created by srs to deliver pearls between iterators. to make them as good with spears as possible srs mixes in some scavenger dna which also makes them pretty good at climbing. messenger has 8 spears every cycle (soft frills on their back) and every extra spear costs them half a food pip. they actually dont use them to eat though: they have a "mouth" in their tail so they just have to bring food to it. this is also where the pearls are stored: deep in the ""tail's throat"" and spearmaster has to "throw them up" once they reach the destination, which may even take hours. because of this once they bring pebbles the crucial pearl, he's too impatient to wait and just rips it out of their body, which causes them to not be able to eat anymore.

because of their resemblance to scavengers, they provoke the same effect as the "uncanny valley" to them so scavs try to kill them on sight and reputation is very hard to rise.

messenger also lives at the same time as carcass (artificer) for some time and their scav look makes them incredibly hated for obvious reasons so carcass ends up killing them.

carcass and scar (hunter) live at around the same time. carcass' backstory is the same but because scavs think of her as "red scug" and scar also happens to fit that definition despite being significantly smaller, scavs just hunt both with no distincion. they eventually meet up and continue their journey together. once they both reach pebbles, he tells carcass to go to metropolis while keeping scar. she's not really okay with that but since he promises to "give him back" once she returns with the chieftain's mask she reluctantly accepts.

scar is the subject to pebbles' genetic experiments, making him really sick and eventually developing the rot. seeing how fast scar's health is deteriorating pebbles decides to get rid of him, leaving him just out of his cell to rot alone, but it's too late. pebbles is already infected with the rot by now.

once carcass returns to pebbles with the chieftain's skull, she is horrified by finding scar. he's a rotting corpse by now and she unfortunately has to end his suffering. then she decides to literally set herself on fire and she kills herself.

after some time, cheeks' (gourmand) story starts, a distant relative of scar.

they have isopod-like scales on their back, making them able to reflect spears and roll for long.

they are born in outer expanse after a flood they accidentally end up in drainage system.

they get lost and cant find a way back.

after wandering for a lot of cycles they find their way to shoreline

cheeks is the first scug to meet moon, they sit by her side as she tells her story (not different from canon)

after meeting her cheeks begins to miss their family more than ever and they start to look for a way back while gathering all the food they can on the way to apologize. they can't find the gate from shoreline to drainage system anymore and they start to wonder if it ever existed in the first place.

after continuing to look for endless cycles they end up in a non-crushed-up part of subterranean.

they find their way back to outer expanse where they find a new scug colony and they decide to stop there.

after some time their niblings suncat (monk) and mooncat (survivor) are born and they end up in outskirts for the same reason as canon.

mooncat's campaign is identical as canon: they wander around the world, meet 4 echoes and they manage to ascend through drainage and the barely-intact filtration system.

their sibling however ends up inside pebbles, discovering the rot. through the overseer moon learns about pebble's situation.

sun then goes down the same path as her sibling.

ploink (rivulet) is another result of srs' experiments, this time combining a scug with salamander and jet fish dna.

they are actually sent by srs to steal pebbles rarefractory cell.

other than that, their campaign is the same as canon.

sofanthiel takes place between ploink and plunf (saint) they are immortal and cannot ascend in any way. the darkness is a result of the ginormous clouds covering the whole world and the rain is caused by pebbles. only the strongest creatures are surviving the rot, making the world extremely difficult to navigate.

because of all this sofanthiel prefers to stay in shaded citadel where they got used to the dark anyway. they spend cycles and cycles talking with four needles under plentiful leaves.

time passes and pebbles gets more and more unstable. sofanthiel sees the structure hanging right on top of themself.

eventually, he falls down, crushing fnupl.

it gets reincarnated into a scug-echo looking thing. sofanthiel can feel his presence still and so can he.

eventually, they manage to meet up again and they live for long after.

wanderer (watcher) takes place in the distant future, or in the far past, or both, if you will.

(i know absolutely nothing about the watcher so this will be short and random. no spoilers plz)

wanderer looks at sun through portals. a small pup, just like themself. eventually, they get out of the portal and they stay with her. not doing anything in particular, something about her presence just gave them warmth.

after some time in sun's timeline, wanderer pulls her into their portal, creating a clone.
