A couple doodles of the Fantasy AU where Medic is part demon (pretending to be an angel) and Heavy is his Champion/bodyguard

thought about fully rendering this before but gonna post it like this

The Time Child timeline hopped to hang out with like the only other sane kid out there but his mood is still not in the best place

( Jenny draws him and talks about him to her parents and they think he's her imaginary friend thank you very much )

the gay divorced objects drama is still strong as shit and polycules don't exist until I post all my funny memes

If nonavian dinos never went extinct, and the earth cooled as I did, do you think previously fatherless dinos would have become feathered to keep warm? Like a ceratopsian or hadrosaur or even a sauropod? Or do you think they would have been big enough it wouldn't have mattered? Just something I always think about because elephants are mostly hairless to lose body heat but mammoths were the same size and really hairy

They would 100% regain their feathers. As far as we can tell, outside of ~ Maniraptoriformes feathers are a plastic trait, meaning it’s turned on and off at the regulatory level over generations but circumstances can lead to the population regaining them. We keep seeing scales and feathers bounce around like mad just to make understanding their evolution that much trickier, so this would apply here as well

open starter location: main street; general vicinity

"Hey - can you hand me that?" Rex's bucket of water was just out of reach, and he couldn't leave the start of his (horrible) snow dinosaur without it losing integrity. "This is how you make a very serious snow creation - you gotta freeze it as you go along."

[unopenablebox]

This is said with an academic lack of judgment but I think pavb¡e shippers and m¡gb shippers are divergent evolution of the same ancestor: no¡rham shippers

Current vague fantasy villain/hero story species line-up:

- dragons that are isolationist little meat computers that sound somewhere between a modem and a vocaloid

- rodent dwarves that definitely were not caused by "okay ffxiv kobolds are cute but I can make an even cuter underground fuzzball species and wait a fucking second that's just a 3-foot-tall chinchilla. PUT IT IN."

- catgirls (80s apocalypse biker throwback subtype), everyman species in the way humans typically are in fantasy

- elves that are also bats, still determining how much bat is in them but it's at least hitting their noses and ears and creepy little hands

It'll be a fun to design lineup even if the elves are going to have me kicking myself when I have to start rotating them, lots of weird shapes to work with

Also with that solidified I've finally nailed down the hero's species which is nice even if it leads to the extremely silly "catman and his monotreme bff vs angry monotreme man and his catwoman bff" dynamic

do u ever see comments on posts and artwork full of effort and thought and passion etc and like. think about that post that talks about how people have the darndest time interacting with art without trying to crack a joke about it. is it really so boring to take someone's art seriously? is it necessary to demean someone's efforts, however unintended, for a 'joke' that consists of you being like "ooOOoOh how weird lol!!" like i don't want or mean to be a killjoy. but i think about that post a lot. like y do u need to add a punchline to something that doesn't need one. who asked u. why does it need to be funny. and u don't even have the decency to acknowledge its merit ;/

was watching a video on how shit the pocahontas movie is and thinking about the mystification of native americans in media and how they're usually shown to be serious, quiet, and typically not very emotive- i have just realised that i cannot imagine a native american child being silly and having fun because i've literally never seen that before and that is so fucked

So here's a question you definitely haven't asked but I'm going to answer anyways: "Why do most of the spinocons have that funky helm crest?" Examples:

Well, there's actually a real answer for that that's ancient as fuck, and it's Mattel's fault!

I had (2/3, never had the blue one but saw it a million times) these types of toys when I was super little, actually still have that green rex out back and I'm starting to realize that wow mine is faded as shit—

Anyways. Kid me took one look at this little goofy head ornamentation and took it as an indisputable fact. I drew it in EVERY spino depiction I made for way too long until it finally clicked in my head that "hey, that might just be artistic interpretation" but I still make frequent references to this rather silly assumption

do u ever create a character, pour your own little quirks into her and then have a very good friend who has autism hold her by the scruff and go: “did you mean to make her on the spectrum?” like....*stares at my own two hands*
