I see a bunch of you noticing my lesbian komodo dragon today, so here she is with her mourning gecko girlfriend!
Both of these lizard species are capable of parthenogenesis, which is producing offspring without needing a male! In komodo dragons, offspring born this way are always male. Mourning geckos, however, are an all-female species that will only produce more females!
So not only would this lovely lizbian couple be able to start a family by themselves, it would be like one of those cartoon animal nuclear families where all the boys look exactly like the dad and the girls look like the mum (except they’re both mum).
Another Artfight attack, probably my last one for the year (unless I get something done quickly today)
This has been one of the biggest pieces I have ever made, it took me anywhere between 22 and 32 hours over the course of the last two and a half weeks. There were a lot of things happening in between working on this which is why I’m not entirely sure about the time. The full timelapse video is 16 minutes long. I’m really glad I pivoted from trying to make this into a comic, I don’t know that I would’ve finished it if I had. This is one of the only pieces with full shading I did this artfight, I didn’t draw in a light source but I really tried to work off of one. Even though I had a reference photo for the sketch, a lot of these poses were new to me and some were difficult to figure out (a couple of legs are missing, and one of the mugs are weird)
Overall I wanted to draw a bunch of pirates (loosely inspired by a scene in Bloody Cape) and that’s what I did and I’m pretty pleased with how this turned out

I think my least favourite thing about coming up with Daemon AUs is the part where sometimes you have to give a villain (/a character you don't like) a daemon, and it's like... None of these animals deserve to be associated with that?
And then I have to force myself to be impartial and try really hard to think of neutral/positive words to describe this rancid fucking asshole so I can at least say I'm not maligning some poor innocent critter without a reason.
