important questions

I drew a lil thing as fast as I could hehe

I call those things oh his back his “ridges”. They are just rows of hair that run down his back to the end of his tail. The hair on his ridges is a little bit longer than the rest of his fur. Not a mane, not dreads, not anything like that. It’s kind of similar to the band that runs down the back of a honey badger.

Heads up 7 Up

Thanks for the tag, @korblez ! Rules are, post 7 sentences from your last WIP & tag 7 people.

... I'll fully fulfill that first one at least xD Been kicking down some notes for a Haestrom-set writeup, enjoy Thane's first experience with Shepard in the battlefield.

"Therum!" Shepard said in a voice so choked, Thane wasn't even certain she'd said an actual word. 

Garrus shifted, tapped a talon against his rifle. "Ther- wait, right, when we rescued Liara?"

Shepard nodded, clearing her throat and straightening up. "Yeah- sorry, just- god, I got thrown back for a second, you know? Searing hot planet, there's geth everywhere -" Another snicker, a shake of her head. "And then- I ask if you think our weapons can handle the heat, and you just tell me to stay hydrated?!"

Tagging @mxanigel @equusgirl and @aceghosts - and anyone else who'd like a go!

But then around 30 million years ago — halfway through the Age of Mammals, give or take — something happened. The nautiloids started disappearing. Fewer species, less diversity. Bit by bit they shrank back into their current small range. What happened halfway through the Age of Mammals? Well, here’s one clue: the nautiloids’ long retreat showed a pattern. It wasn’t everywhere and all at once. They disappeared first in the northern arctic regions; then in the Antarctic; then in temperate zones; finally across most of the tropics except that one small patch. This pattern suggested a culprit: a warm-blooded predator that evolved in the Arctic and then spread around the world. But… the armored cephalopod design had been around forever. They’d been living with predators for half a billion years. Sharks. Primitive armored fish. Not-so-primitive modern fish. In the age of dinosaurs, they had to deal with ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurs, and mosasaurs. Back in the Paleozoic, they were hunted by eight-foot-long giant sea scorpions. Way back in the Cambrian, they had to live with the anomalocariids. In the early Age of Mammals, there were primitive whales and sea-going crocodiles. The armored cephalopod design took them all in stride and kept going. So what happened?
