You all have @ruthlesslistener to thank for this

Bloodwyrm

(More TBA)

Bloodwyrms

Dark themes ahead, read at your own discretion

Namesake derives from the way they hunt (bloody and gruesome)

Can be identified through their much darker color scheme than the average wyrm and red sheen around their mouth and down their neck

If general bloodwyrm behavior was described via the dnd alignment system, they would be around the chaotic neutral area (while chaotic good bloodwyrms are possible, it's very uncommon)

Normally solitary hunters, but it isn't uncommon for young bloodwyrms to follow alongside the hunting parent at the time

This brings us to the fact that bloodwyrms have a very keen sense of smell which helps them differentiate their young from prey with ease, making accidental infanticide very rare when on hunts

Bloodwyrms often hunt other wyrms. Not because they're desperate for food, but because they're fucking psychopaths (They will leave gravid wyrms alone, however)

While rare for most other wyrms, bloodwyrms can form familial units and usually gather underground to form a nest which can get very large without interference

When occupied, bloodwyrm nests smell heavily of viscera and gore, this makes it easier for bloodwyrms to find the nest and deter other wyrms from entering because entering a nest full of bloodwyrms is a deathwish on a silver platter

However, empty bloodwyrm nests are often sought after by mortals and wyrms with how big they can get, providing a safe zone to rest, though it's very easy to become lost in the winding tunnels, which can effectively starve you to death

Cannibalism is common among these familial units, though the one being eaten is usually the one seen as incompetent and/or has been greedy with food. And to top it off, they get fed to the younger generations first and bloodwyrm youth are just as ravenous as their adult counterparts (this is mostly done to keep some semblance of order (basically psychopaths with morals))

Infanticide involving cannibalism is seen as normal, however, any other form of harm to young is seen as taboo and will probably end with you becoming their next meal

Another thing seen as outlandish is the enslavement of mortals. They see it as you being greedy with food and use them to work meaningless tasks and they take full offense to that. They will go out of their way to make your life miserable by destroying whatever it is the forced labor is used for and will purposely let them escape as they will not hunt something that doesn't put up a fight (psychopaths with standards, if you will)

With bloodwyrms, you're either a friend or food, more often food than a friend (to befriend a bloodwyrm, you'd have to prove yourself worthy, and the criteria for proving yourself worthy varies from each individual bloodwyrm, most involving life-threatening situations)

If you do manage to prove yourself worthy to a bloodwyrm you are considered a close friend to the individual and expect them to frequently rub up against you, this is a way of showing a platonic form of affection and scenting you to prevent other bloodwyrms from eating you

Other forms of platonic affection include: gifting shiny objects and items with a funky texture that's fun to play with, will also share kills with you but will happily wolf it down if you aren't hungry (or don't eat meat)

They will also happily give information about customs and share info about traditions if you made it this far

They themselves don't actually have traditions, the mortals that worship them do via blood rituals (ha). They are flattered and greatly amused by the effort and complexity of these rituals they make to honor them and to act as a form of protection, especially when the blood doesn't belong to the one preforming the ritual

Tank yew :')

Jesus Christ that's some butchered quality

@ruthlesslistener He’s receiving some really nice pets

There are a total of 5 vessels (not including Hollow) and 7 siblings (including Hollow)

The oc I actually have a "name" for is the taller one directly to Hollow’s left, the one I attempted to make visually creepy and also failed to attempt to make them look as hunched over as possible

The one that looks not vessel-ified next to creeps mcgee was created out of a 'what if' scenario. That scenario being, "what if against all odds, there was a sibling that made it out with relatively minimal void interaction?" More on that later in a backstory update for my oc's

Put some googly eyes on alyx's dog (half life 2)

Ngl this was tough, I mean, Dog only has one eye and it’s pretty much impossible to put googly eyes that fit on his head and make it look good (I don’t think I could ever pull it off)

Sorry if this wasn’t what you had in mind or if I ruined it 😅

Here’s version 2:

Putting googly-eyes on things day one

My askbox is open if you have something you want me to put googly-eyes on

“You’ll be home soon, right?”

Welcome to part one of “Tren couldn’t draw an animal to save their life”

So I decided to attempt drawing the bunny we all know and love, Daisy

It didn’t take as long as I thought it would, but I’m not complaining

I’m really proud of how the northern lights turned out

@dukesnukes

I finished the video comp of your Doom Slayer trio! I hope you like it!

[livelaughlovinglobotomy]

Idk if this has been done yet

[livelaughlovinglobotomy]

@dukesnukes

I promised fanart and fanart is what you shall receive

I still could’ve done better, but this is the best I can manage right now. I’m actually happy with how it turned out, certainly much better than what I’m normally capable of

I also didn’t mean to make Buddy’s hair that fluffy looking, oh well, I guess it’ll just add to character

[livelaughlovinglobotomy]

Idk what this is, I just drew something and went along with it
