I did not make up the minerals, they are real.

Well I’m dumb XD

Still, that’s cool though.

@whalekeeper I am impressed that your worldbuilding has gone as far as making up new minerals for the world. Did you make those up on the spot?

@elishavet-pidyon Whenever I write Dante, I definitely overuse the word “grin” too, lol. Sometimes words just stick i guess

Lois

Lois looked down at the textbook. Corpse crystal wasn’t actually the scientific name given in the book, but, just like fool’s gold was another name for pyrite, Hugo was technically correct.

“And what are you talking about besides that, anyway?”

“Living imaginary friends and little siblings.” Lois put away t…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon

Yeah the challenge is still open for anyone! I have no idea when the characters will be finished if I do draw them, but I’ll try not to take very long. I’d really love to read your short story.

@whalekeeper I do and yes, they have some stuff already lol

Although they have an excuse cause their company is run by a Christian I believe. So they wanna get in on the holiday stuff, but they don’t wanna support the creepy part of Halloween and send the wrong message so all they have in the way of fall decorations is pumpkins and other…[Read more]

@theducktator MY COSTCO HAS HALLOWEEN STUFF TOO BRUH

In fact, I’m actually seeing a little error on that drawing I think. The left foot is twisted unnaturally compared to the knee/ankle. Or else the perspective is wonky.

sorry to whoever wants their character drawn next, this is taking a….while. But hey, at least y’all are getting a free lesson in speculative biology!

Now, this is not my design, this is someone else’s, but look how long the toes are. A bipedal creature which has talons typically has to have large ones to balance out his weight, so he doesn’t fall over.

Also you’re totally fine. You’re not the one being difficult, I am. Lol

@grcr maybe I could just show you their size? Like drawing it?

i am sorry that I am probably flooding you with info on how to make my characters look perfect heh

All right, I got it:

You have him walking like a human on his tiptoes. Such a creature would probably…..fall over now that I look at it lol

His toes are long, more like a reptile’s. A velociraptor’s is a good stand in. Just replace the big claw with two more toes.

That looks great!

One thing on the talons–you said you’re not a fan of how they turned out. Just make them longer. I’ll show you a picture when I’m done with some online tutoring.

Also make the lines on his face a little less obvious. He is still fairly young. (Maybe I should’ve gone for a picture where his face is less snarly lol) He…[Read more]

@grcr awesome thanks!

also, do you mind if I post it other places/send it to my friends once you’re finished? I will make sure to credit you somehow and make it obvious that it’s not my art. But if you’re not comfortable with that, that’s totally okay.

@grcr thanks!

There are three toes instead of four here, but this is a decent approximation of him:

i gotta find a better clothes/tail and talons one, be right back

do I have more screenshots of him on my gallery than I should? probably.

the “he’s really good at killing” angle lol

All right, I got images:

not his usual clothes but here’s some face detail
