Can I get another Sliver update please?

I'm going to be generous just this once and leave this un-grayscaled And to whomever asked for the nude Sliver. Fine. I'll do it. But don't expect it to show up so soon.

So. How do you feel about Sunstone? I saw post asking about it from one of the people you follow and I wanted to know what's your take on proshipping? Just a question. Cause I've noticed you did ship NSH and LTTM in your lore? Please don't explode on me :(

Are you deadass? I watched my friend be questioned on this before so I will give my own input on this topic. Sorry if it comes off as brutally honest. Do I condone the ship? Hell no. It's cute from a distance but it's too controversial for my liking an taking a risk of being witch hunted for something I was not made aware of till the last minute is a no for me. This includes the many au's that do this ship an it is often toxic. Considering they never had a mentor apprentice relationship which by the way is fucked up I still don't condone it. Now if they were not in that little clique of being mentor an apprentice then I don't actually care as it was canon Pebbles regularly vents to SRS it was never implied of Suns being his mentor at all. Though I've seen au's where it is pulled off correctly in a good way that makes the character understand that their love interest is wrong and they need a good bonk! to the head. I can't control what people do on the internet and neither should you. As for the Lilypad ship I was far aware that it's considered illegal now within the rainworld fandom and I took my own precaution to break up their relationship in the lore because it makes sense and for my own safety. As for proshipping I also do not condone it either. It's disgusting, I don't know why some people get a turn on from it but I wish them the best of luck crawling out of the pits of their own regret And I pray they choke on it for eternity. If the characters is not compatible or there is no way they would or should get together by canon reasons then by all means DO NOT SHIP IT! This is entirely different then shipping characters for laughs an giggles or just memes in general then shipping them to progress the storyline. It is why i had each of the rainworld cast shipped with a character I created of my own design that are actually compatible (accept for traffic lights love that ship to death) to avoid such catastrophes. I'll get some flack for doing so because it's not what some fans want and i'm sorry if my au doesn't follow other rainworld au standards but I refuse to be in this repeating cycle.

Been a hot 2 months since I stopped answering my inbox but i'm here now.

Do tell us. What have you been doing all this time?

LOOK I CAN EXPLAIN! I rarely play roblox, i don't play it unless it's something i like, you're probably wondering what i'm doing on a kids app? I got nothing to do an in my drought of not being able to draw i endorsed into another fandom in order to get that motivation boost to draw. What Fandom? probably the most cursed one out of the bunch this year. Dandys world. NOW HOLD ON! before you jump to conclusions i want nothing to do with the rest of the fandom because of it's major issues and the "problematic drama" that is stressful an out of control. I mainly enjoy making ocs. I had a lot of time to think. An rework how i make my refs. All I can say are big changes are coming so expect the refs to- dramatically change suddenly so keep an eye on it. But Moonpool you can't do that an just hop into another fandom? yes I can ^w^ Rainworld can wait just a little bit till i feel like it. Not a crime to drift off every once in a while. As for the other stuff? No it won't be a full scale explanation of 2 aus I am working on, it'll be a ref, small summary an nothing more. :)

[moonpoolcat]

I'm back. Sliver update?

I got you. Here have a spoiler.

i'm almost done hang tight buddy :)

[moonpoolcat]

You said earlier that you were offering commissions. How much do the cost, and do you accept PayPal? Also, what are your rules?

Depends on what you're asking for. Unless you're requesting a full on render it's about around 100, have to make a living somehow. I take paypal or cashapp, either one will do. There is a longer list of rules so i'll dot down some of them. I can't draw humans. No i don't do deadlines I don't draw abroad or from scratch No i don't draw full on nsfw or anything fetish related but softcore is allowed No requesting anything outside of my skill level (ex: spaceships) PLEASE have all your information and ref sheets of the characters ready so i don't have to continuously ask questions And finally nothing controversial that will get me in trouble. It ain't much but the list goes on in the TOS i'm working on. Not really needed but I'm not taking chances.

[moonpoolcat]

BIG question. i love your Monk design it's so adorable! but i can't help but wonder what happened to the others? where were they all during these events and if it isn't too much to ask can we get a scug timeline?

the slugcats go in order to how events played out after the cannon timelines. So get ready for a lore dump buddy :) Spearmaster- Originally had left with Artificer with their slugpups leaving their owners behind. However his attachement to the iterator caused the two to break apart. After the mission to Five Pebbles Spearmaster was found by Gourmaud an stuck around to heal before heading to looks to the Moon an back to deliver her final message but was deeply traumatized an questioned why his own creator sent him on this almost fatal mission? He then took Gourmaud to Arti to look for their missing clan members with no luck. With no other purpose being fully grown by this point he was allowed to wander an explore the world, and with this freedom chooses to leave, traveling with a female scug to settle down somewhere miles away in another iterators territory. He regularly visits SRS with his descendants once a month an still leaves when summoned. He was not present during the masquer. Gourmaud- After the storm that costs him to lose Monk an Survivor he travels alone to in search of the two scugs believing they were still alive. Gourmaud is present before looks to the Moons collapse. He finds a very injured Spearmaster helping him travel to Looks to Moon. They make the journey to deliver Moons final message just moments after the near collapse incident before traveling back into the Metropolis running into Arti. Gourmaud asks of her to look out for Monk an survivor an possibly bring them home if she ever sees them again giving up the search, taking the entire clan away from the iterators into the same location as Spearmaster when he settled. Hunter- His cancer was cured before he was even sent out with the slag keys to save Moon. A collar now stays on his neck allowing Hunter to reactivate the very cancer that caused him pain allowing the scug to turn into an unstable abomination whenever he wanted. (after events) Is deeply depressed from Spearmasters sudden departure even though they had gotten close since Spear departed from Arti (in other other words they divorced lol) He still has feelings for him an hasn't learned to let go. Discovering that Arti was planning on escorting scugs back to their clan knowing that where they where they were going joins them all hoping to run into Spearmaster one last time to get some closure. Hunter also participated in the Blood moon masquer. I have to break this up into chunks cause it was too long.

How do you think iterators would react to making contact with aliens?

Honestly they would do nothing. They're already aware that there is life out in space, the ancients just weren't around long enough to develop space travel to accomplish this. But there are local groups that mainly keep a close eye on the stars in case other lifeforms do land so everyone can be prepared. The best I can think of is they'll treat aliens like scavengers an just leave them alone observing them if they don't pose a threat. Long as it doesn't get in the way of their every day life it won't be issue. If all goes well the iterators will attempt to make contact themselves to establish an alliance of some sort to hopefully advance themselves. Even potentially creating an entirely new generation of iterators leading to them leaving the planet. Worse case scenario? each superstructure is equipped with a- hm- I'm not entirely sure what to call it but lets say it's the death ray from star wars. Reduce intruders to atoms.

[moonpoolcat]

How is silver coming along?

There has been a delay. A huge one on my part. There was an incident involving myself. I won't expose personal details but lets just say i took a trip down insanity land an almost never made it back alive. There will be some significant changes to all my refs as well but I won't say when. Slivers ref along with the render piece might be the last time i post for a small while as a hiatus is a small thought floating around my head but I cannot bring myself to have one.

What's the point in making a safe version of art if you're just making nsfw of the same work but it's more sexual? why not just put 18+ in your bio? They're machines not people why give them boobs of all things?

Good question my very confused fellow. You forgot they're biomechanical. I make my iterators more organic because it is the style I am comfortable with. I answered the last persons question with the same outcome. I can't draw extreme machinery. I can learn but it will not get very far. As for my art, I like drawing characters with more exposed skin an clothing. I'm good with drawing anatomy so making my iterators busty or buff is normal. Dude\ma'am Moon walking around with no clothes on is softcore. Her official art in rainworld is softcore because she is drawn genderless. All iterators are genderless but they can give themselves pronouns however they wish. My not safe versions of my characters are softcore because I do not draw genitalia on them even though I already stated what their genders were? tits are considered suggestive, even if I don't add anything on there it is still classified as suggestive so creating two versions of my art so that anyone that bumps into my account who is not comfortable with looking at suggestive material can safely look at a friendlier version without being scarred. HOWEVER! if they choose to ignore this an go look at the suggestive content that is not my fault, I gave clear warnings in my bio that I'm not responsible if anyone looks at the content that is suggestive and filtered. I hope you understand because false allegations are everywhere nowadays. Better to be safe then chastised for drawing.

What do you think moon would look like as a human being?

Most interpret her either looking extremely old or in a wheelchair. This Moon hasn't collapsed so I figured she'd look somewhere in her mid to late 40's considering the era she was activated in her hair would be put into some sort of weird hairstyle.

Idk I'm not really good when it comes to human stuff.

[moonpoolcat]

Pardon me but, i see you haven't finished the rest of the iterators for you au. I'm sorry if you felt pressured into drawing them. May i ask if you're perhaps redesigning Sliver? or any of the main cast? She looks pretty but you seemed burnt out after making it.

Thank you for asking, and yes! i am. i haven't given up at all and my burn out lasted months. I was just testing to see what style i liked the most, there is no harm in experimenting. The reason it's taken so long is because i've learned my lesson on not making them too human. I get it, they're suppose to be machines not the closest thing to a human being so the style has been downgraded to be more cartoonish but still appealing. I'll be dropping little experimental drawings to see how the feedback went after pride month is over. Or maybe earlier if im feeling like it.

[moonpoolcat]

Hey now that the Watcher is out will this affect your au now? Any changes?

Nope. The watchers campaign will only add even more plot to keep the au going. The only changes is probably Saint and Monk. The others? Not sure. Off topic cause i want to get this out- I LOVE the rot prince, so he will be making a huge appearance later on. No i haven't played the dlc yet cause right now i'm a broke waffle cone an playthroughs are all i got so for now i'm rewriting lore. I might draw Watcher just for the hype that's going on right now?

[moonpoolcat]

Is your username a warriorcats reference?

Yep, don't know what i was doing but i've stuck with the name since then. Now that you mention that I do need to catch up on the books i'm way behind.

[moonpoolcat]

How are ya feeling?

I'm doing great! Took some time off the internet. Did a little bit of exploring out in the woods this week. Hoping to visit the beach this year again.

[moonpoolcat]

Your iterators have siblings? how does that even work?

It's not that hard ABC <------pretend these three letters are iterators, when one of them is created they normally have an iterator older or younger then them with the same or similar design of blueprints as the other. This makes them related by default and it doesn't really repeat after that.

Now if you're generation one then you only have one sibling or none because being related wasn't really a thing for them back then. Nor did they know it was possible at all? However if you're a previous generation made with blueprints of an older iterator of the same model then yes they're also related becoming cousins. Older models prefer to see them as children then siblings as it's more appropriate. I know this seems very odd an strange to think these machines have relatives but it is convenient for the plot and a better excuse to why Moon adopted Pebbles as her brother even though their blueprints are not at all the same. Hope this helps :)

Hey l. I'm just here to ask a question. I noticed that you crossed out a few content warning tags. Is there a reason you stopped doing suggestive stuff? Not that a reason is needed of course. I'm just curious as to why.

Oh that? I just did it cause I've seen other users do it in their bios in case no one wants to read it. Can't be too careful. I've noticed that a lot of the rainworld fandom are minors who don't need to see it. Yes, I still do suggestive content but it will be left with no tags so anyone can have a choice on whether they want to follow me or not to see it.
