If the worst of humanity had to pick one of the twins, who and why?

Thinking about Trigun Stampede. Apart of Nai's arguments for his actions is that he thought Vash would end up like Tesla. Saying that Vash didn't have abilities and whatnot. I had the thought, a dark question: who to pick if it went down, one of the twins ending up like Tesla?

As far as we know, Rem was the only human not in cryo at the time? And she found Vash and Nai. And chose to prevent “Tesla events” from happening to Vash and Nai. I think to Nai, she was the one pillar of humanity who could keep them safe, but for how long? What would happen when more humans came out of cryo? Would it have been similar to the tension on the ship in ‘98 Trigun? 

If more humans had came out of cryo, and had ill intentions like the Doctor, would they have been successful in taking one of the twins away for “Tesle events.”

The summary of my thoughts is that, I think Nai was afraid there could have been a higher chance that he would have ended up like Tesla instead of Vash.

In Tristamp, Nai says that Vash doesn’t have powers. So, its assumed he’s a “dud” of a plant. Its assumed that Nai does at this point. Of the two, who to spend your efforts on? Who is the spider and who is the butterfly in this situation?

Vash is the butterfly - his sweet nature; his charm; Rem did favor him more; no powers? not worth the effort to test and measure if there is nothing there??

Nai is the spider - assumed to have powers, would be worth testing on; whenever Rem interacted with both in Tristamp, she always reached out for Vash first, embraced him or held his hand first, so I wonder if Nai picked up on that; Felt envy towards Vash about Rem and about how Vash was better at piano and other talents.

I feel like, maybe Nai was sensing that it was only evitable, when other humans would want to test on one of them. And that, he had several routes to consider. 1. do as he did in the show. 2. try to compete with Vash to not be picked. 3. try to be like Vash, to hope that both wouldn’t be picked at all.

Go to this link to see all the details of it >https://www.deviantart.com/.../Realistic-Hydreigon-899563196

I have been drawing/doodling hydreigon for almost a year. I need to get this stuff off my tablet and post it X.X Anyway, I guess I go thru phases where I latch onto drawing a specific pokemon for months, and that is how this came about.

My reasoning behind the route I chose:I had wanted to try doing scales for the head, but I just couldn't get it work with the back of the head and the transition to the purple/magenta. So, I decided to go with feathers. I thought of crows for most of it at first. All the birds I referenced: Crows, ravens, harpy eagles, cockatoos, and cassowaries. For the head, I referenced utahraptors and other dromaeosaurs for the structure of the head. Going with the crest of a harpy eagle I think was the best decision to get that shape. I struggled a good bit to convey the blue skin and blue feathers, and make it distinguishable. I had to make a few brushes, like the pores and the skin texture on the snout. When I finally got it, I had a Mandark laugh moment XD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiGIQrt1IaE  Also, sorry that its just 1 of the heads. I'm going to have all 3 heads be the same.

 I referenced this image A LOT 0.0 https://upload.wikimedia.org/.../e/ed/Dromaeosaurs.png

I've been trying to figure how I want to draw hydreigon's body realistically, and it has been a struggle legit. Its going to be this giant crazy looking crow/dragon thing, this seraph, wyvern, hydra, ALL of them, looking thing, hot-mess express, BUT!! we'll get there soon. It'll have to be a sketchdump cause my doodles have gone on a journey. A realistic bald hydreigon would look like something out of a horror movie.. with all those heads and wings.

valve just straight up copying nintendo’s homework now

Spinosaurus’s mouth is… It sure is a thing that exists and is hard to figure out.

Wanted to do an examples of all three theorical face integument for a thing i’m working on: Lipless, partial lip, and lipped.

However the wrigly mouth makes the situation very awkward regardless of how you want to draw it.

Also bonus T.rex, from the same project. dealing with popular taxa for a real reason this time, i promise

I think i’m getting better with realism, not anywhere near perfect, but better.

Hi everyone! I'm Olivia Brown aka the voice of Izel on Onyx Equinox. You may know me from my old Tumblr account Livster-The-Schmuck AKA the one who made that dub of @coulsart 's comic of Chara beating the ever loving shit out of Santa Sans.

I'm posting because I have a favor to ask. For some reason animation twitter has been sleeping on Onyx Equinox which is a western adult animated show that takes its audience seriously. It is immensely popular in Latin America which is AMAZING but we want it to be popular in the states as well!

So I have a favor to ask! Please spread the word on this amazing show! Its an amazing labor of love from Sofia Alexander and her crew and it deserves more attention. Fantrexians, if you love Final Space and Invincible fans, if you love are digging Invincible so far, please give this show a chance! Plus its another amazing showcase of a female/LGBTQ/POC creator!

Thank you!!!!

My attempt to redesign the Lake Trio. Started off as me not liking uxie's design, even though uxie is my favorite of the 3. The 3 are based off of elves, sprites, and pixies respectively. Bothered me greatly that they don't have more fae characteristics.The changes I made

Ears, cause fae usually have pointed ears.

Feet, to be more like pointed fae shoes

Tails, to give each of them more individuality. The tails being the same was very copy and paste. As legendries, they need variety.

Hair, started with uxie, cause wtf was that.. I did try to keep their hair similar to the originals, but more fun and exciting.

You know what ALSO UPSETS me about this trio... they are not fairy types. They need to be fairy/psychic. How can FAIRY pokemon not be fairy type.........................................

Hatterene Redesign

I latched onto the idea hard. Had to do it. 

I love Hatterene, she's on my playthrough team on Shield, and she'll be on my Sword playthrough too. But I'm not a fan of her body underneath. And the overly shapely figure. With Grimmsnarl and Hatterene, there is lots of hypermasculinity and hyperfemininity. I don't have a problem with Grimmsnarl's representation of it. Or his body underneath. I can still tell, he is strong regardless of his hair. With Hatterene, her physical body is subjectively unequal to Grimmsnarl. Its not a "she's not pretty still underneath," its a " rebalancing the feminity" ??? I think. 

I gave her a more proportional body to match her height, changed her dress to be more witch-like, and change her hair to resemble a cloak. My thought was Gothal's cloak from Tangled.

I've had this one file with like 3 wips, decided to work on the first image a bit. Wanted to share them, cause I legit don't know when I'll get them done.

Grimmsnarl is my favorite pokemon of gen 8 hands down. My coworker got me this overwatch journal for Christmas, and the first thing I did in it was this XD lines and all. I used whatever I had in my pencil pouch. I wish I had a white gel pen in there >:| I wanted to do a background with pink and blue highlighters, but I didn't want to risk it. 2 slightly different angles, one overhead, and one from the bottom left.
