#Solarclock Lepigriffs

Also another fun fact about Lepigriffs:

Their wings are a bit... Weird.

Unlike moth wings, their wings are supported by cartilage "digits." Because of this, they're much stronger than true bug wings, but at the cost of being somewhat less flexible.

Have some lepigriff doodles

Pretty proud of this, especially the head shape. Not too sure if I’ll give them teeth, but this is what they look like btw.

HAPPY BIRTHDAYYY 🎂🎂🎂 i hope it is/was a very enjoyable day for you :D!!!!!

Why thank you! It was really great day, didn't really get to doodle anything fun but I did get a bunch of books!! Including a little art journal to customise into a @solarclock-lepigriffs scrapbook (?)/ ideas and concept book! Basically that's one of my personal projects, and it's heavily based off of steampunk and solarpunk aesthetics!!

Hey Delta?

Do you like moths? Do you like solarpunk and steampunk stuff? Do you like silly characters getting up into shenanigans?

Well, I have the project-blog thingy for you!!!!

Welcome to @solarclock-lepigriffs, which will be filled with ocs, lore and short stories... sometime soon.

AKA I want to ramble about these guys

OOOH I DO!! i gave it a follow, looks exciting!! im a FAN of steampunk and solarpunk :D

[spritebloom]

Hey guys! Sorry for being very inactive lately, I may have gotten a bit burnt out with the spec evo stuff, as well as being busy with other stuff.

But! I have another worldbuilding project thingy called @solarclock-lepigriffs which is heavily solarpunk/ steampunk inspired! Also feel free to send in questions about any of my sophonts, I'll love that!

[solarclock-lepigriffs]

Been meaning to do this...

Mind telling me about this project? I'm very curious!

Sure thing!

There are two things this Project consists of: Solarclock Lepigriffs and Moonmoth Clockworks.

Solarclock Lepigriffs is the general worldbuilding project. This is based around the lepigriffs, sapient moth/ bird-like creatures, and their culture and environment. This is heavily based on solarpunk, clockpunk, art deco and art noveau, with a slight dash of biopunk.

Lepigriffs are the sapient species of Solarclock Lepigriffs. They are anthromorphic moth-like creatures, with bird-like faces and talons. They tend to be 4-5 feet tall and very light. Their colouration tend to mimic real-life moth, butterfly, dragonfly and wasp species. They have large eyes with slightly elliptical pupils, with black, brown, gold, green, blue or even red iris and dark sclera.

They're also based on various moth species and can have tail wings! However, they can't be based on insects that aren't moths/ butterflies.

Moonmoth Clockworks is a series of short stories focusing on Sula, a timid lepigriff artist, and her friend Ashworth. It's mostly slice-of-life stuff, and you can read the first part here.

Unfortunately, as you can see, I... didn't really managed to write much (*Cough* Too many things and not knowing what to focus on *Cough Cough*)

[solarclock-lepigriffs]

Finally! Made the references for Sula and Ashworth! Well, it's not proper refs, but it's a good start!

Sula is, of course, based on a Sulawesi Moon moth. Ashworth, however, is based off of pink spirit moths, not Ashworth's Rustic! Despite being pastel colours, I think she'll like somewhat gothic things.

I'm also active at @octahedral-chaos, but I want to start posting here again. I also want to work on @solarclock-lepigriffs as well, so you can also follow over there if you want.

If you're an artist and are having trouble building followers, especially if you're new on tumblr or back after leaving, reblog this with some of your art. It will be visible to everyone checking the notes. Everyone keep checking the notes and follow whoever puts their cool art in them. People keep telling me I'm Tumblr famous so maybe this helps!

Hello! Welcome to OCTAfan's sideblog for a little story/ worldbuilding project of mine; Solarclock Lepigriffs and Moonmoth Clockworks!

What is Solarclock Lepigriffs and Moonmoth Clockworks?

Solarclock Lepigriffs is a fantasy worldbuilding project that's basically a heavily solarpunk and clockwork inspired world where moth/ bird like creatures called Lepigriffs are the sapient beings. It'll have a lot of stained glass, art deco and nouveau and plants, but also slight biopunk and microbiology/ virology motifs.

Moonmoth Clockworks is a potential short story (?) set in this world where we follow Sula, an anxious and somewhat introverted lepigriff artist, as well as Ashworth, her partner, as they both get into silly daily shenanigans.

Can we make stuff based in this setting?

Sure thing! Just make sure to credit me... in fact, if you made any fanart or even fan character, please tag me so I can see them!

Where can we follow you besides here?

I run several other blogs! My main being @octahedral-chaos.

I also have a YouTube channel, and a spacehey... although that's pretty dead (Maybe I'll revive it into a Solarclock Lepigriffs-themed blog where I post stuff relating to it, as well as other fun stuff?

Anyways, I hope you enjoy your visit here, don't forget to ask questions and stuff! Have fun!

OH MY GOODNESS THEIR CHICKS ARE LIKE PUFFBALLS?????

I must know more about the chicks!

OKAY SO-

Lepigriffs have clutches of 1-3 eggs, the chicks are initially naked and blind but they grow quite quickly, like they take at least 3 weeks to develop feathers and eyesight. Lepigriffs become mature at 20 years, and live up to 70 years on average.

Basically Lepigriffs chicks are very cute! They have big ol' eyes and are very, VERY fluffy with their downy feathers. Colouration tend to mimic the lavae of the bug species that they'll resemble at adulthood, with some markings based on game species (Specifically little stripes and spots).

[solarclock-lepigriffs]

Also fun fact about Lepigriffs:

Their chicks are 1) Very fluffy and 2) Very cute.

Basically tiny little puffball with itty-bitty wings.

*Aggressively shakes @solarclock-lepigriffs ' askbox* I SHOULD WORK ON YOU-

(AKA mind yeeting some asks over there?)

[solarclock-lepigriffs]

Okay I am finally making the scrapbook for this silly thingy and I'm feeling inspired to answer some questions on Lepigriffs and/or Solarclock Lepigriffs as a whole!

[octahedral-chaos]

Been thinking about spec evo stuff again, so remember that I have a spec evo blog called @spritebloom and a worldbuilding blog called @solarclock-lepigriffs!!!

Feel free to send questions and/or random stuff to those blogs!

[octahedral-chaos]

Man, I should try to revive both @spritebloom and @solarclock-lepigriffs...

I really want to do some worldbuilding stuff now-
