I just wanted to design an alien species but then three hours of anatomy studies of apes showed up like hello :) hi :) oog :)
#I've had these creatures rolling around since 2017 but I've never made a whole study :)#I like. Made a ton of theoretical anatomy pieces awhile back but nothing based on real animals and nothing on like. Key elements of#Their biology#Like how can they function being both bipedal and quadrupedal without it looking awkward. How do they shoot fire out of their hands#Why did I give them elf ears despite the fact that they live in an environment with a temperature compatible to Antarctica :)#Yeah so I'm workshopping :) I love doing this stuff :)#Anyways APES right. I was thinking I needed a base for the species that was human enough but slightly uncanny yunno slightly off#And apes fit the bill remarkably well. So I spend 3 hours on gorillas and monkey. Lotta monkey#I think I made progress :) drew some good animal :)#Like is any of this anatomically viable maybe maybe not but I spent three hours on those monkeys so it's FINE I'm fine it's good :)#Anyone ever taken a good look at the feet of a gorilla. Like that's hand. They're so MOBILE and the SHAPE??? Like it's a HAND. They evolved#HAND FEET. They can grab things with those. The big toe is a thumb. I'm being incomprehensible but it's SO COOL#I'm going to stop talking now :) if anyone reads these I'm sorry I'm just feeling very character design in this Chilis tonight :)#creature design#Shitpost#This is a shitpost
