Been in a big Axel the Alligator mood lately so I redesigned some characters the last couple days and even introduced a new villain!!

Here's some of the notes I included about them all from twitter :) it's below the readmore

To go along with the new Axel the Alligator arts I did a bit ago, I figured I should draw the No-Name Grunt again! I gave them a bit of a make over from last time

Most notably their suits are now purple to match Camilla the Chameleon's, since they are her henchmen after all!

If you don't recall, these are basically Axel's goomba. The basic bottom of the barrel enemy the main characters fight. They're all a part of Camilla's seemingly never ending gang. They all follow her every order because they're obsessed with her, but she can't even be bothered to remember their names. Thus, the No-Names. Instead, they're each given a numbered belt and she just calls them by their number.

There's TONS of No-Names, that's why there's even color variations for the grunts you encounter. But there's even different classes of No-Names.

Like bruisers, fliers, stuff like that. However, I want to redesign them a bit more cause I wasn't 100% on their old designs. SO you'll have to wait and see if I bother with them. But you get the idea, the grunt kind of represents the whole army of underlings anyway.

Oh, and of course... No-Name 10,000. The super special ultra rare No-Name encounter. When you defeat it, it drops TONS of gold and exp!

Also some really quick sketches for some of the other No-Name classes with this suit redesign. I think it's cute they're all kind of matching but now I worry maybe they're not unique enough? Before their suits were all different colors... idk... Much to think about...

It's gonna be a WHILE before I get to make an Axel the Alligator game so I'll keep thinking on it lol

And of course there's probably gonna be a lot of No-Name enemy types it all just depends on what I would want / need for each game I suppose lol.

They're like Badniks, they reuse a lot of old ones but new ones or variants could show up wherever it's needed

----

And of course, where there's No-Names, there's the No-Name generals! Similarly, Camilla doesn't care to remember their names. But they're juuuuust important enough to be allowed to command her underlings when she's off doing more important things.

Uno the Uromastyx is Camilla's original #1 super fan, and as such is the leader of the generals. He's a bit stuck up and loves to wave the fact he's #1 in the others faces.

Dos the Daboia is a bit of a loser and is ALWAYS panicking. He's constantly worried his suit is too blue.

And Tres the Tree Lizard is a chaotic girl who loves explosives. She's constantly building bombs to create chaos. Whenever the No-Names use explosives, they're probably her creations.

They're the ultimate undying loyalists to Camilla, and they all HATE Carnage and Behemoth because the trio was there first and yet Camilla makes Carnage and Behemoth her right hand men. Out ranking even the No-Name generals.

But of course, Uno, Dos, and Tres stand no chance at ever beating either of them. Even if they gang up on them.

----

Two more Axel the Alligator characters! Sol the Saurus I've shown before and has a shiny new redesign. But Ceaser the Ceratops is his brand-spanking-new rival!! Pretty neat!

These two existed from before the meteorite came... What on earth are they doing in present day???

Sol fights with a giant sword that builds energy as its swung, and Ceaser fights with a giant shield that builds energy as its hit. They used to be allies but that was a long long long time ago

Also I'm not 100% on Ceaser's design or name so don't be surprised if I touch it up

Also here's an updated height chart with the No-Names and these dinosaurs. Again it's not 100% accurate but it gives an idea (Behemoth IS taller than Dos it's just a bad pose I promise)

also a comparison with some short guys in front of the dinosaurs :)

My concept is that Axel characters don't really stop growing as they age (which I believe real reptiles do the same thing?) so since these dinosaurs are from ancient times they'd have grown a CRAZY amount in the mean time. idk

A raging Palestinian Viper surrounded by native flowers and plants of Palestine. Written in my Tetas handwriting is the call for the destruction of the zionist state. In israeli fashion they claimed the snake (Daboia Palaestinae) as their national snake in 2018. As they do with everything that has "Palestine" in its name😂.

Title: The Six Deadliest Snake Bites: Unveiling Nature's Venomous Threats

Introduction:

Snakes, both fascinating and fearsome creatures, have evolved venomous adaptations to aid in hunting and self-defense. While most snake species are harmless, some possess venom that can be lethal to humans. In this article, we explore the six deadliest snake bites, shedding light on the potent venoms that have earned these serpents a reputation as nature's silent killers.

1. Inland Taipan (Oxyuranus microlepidotus):

Dubbed the "fierce snake," the Inland Taipan hails from Australia and boasts the most toxic venom of any snake. Its venom is a complex cocktail of neurotoxins, causing paralysis and potentially leading to death within hours if left untreated. Fortunately, human encounters with this reclusive snake are rare, and antivenom exists to counter its potent bite.

2. Coastal Taipan (Oxyuranus scutellatus):

Another Australian native, the Coastal Taipan, possesses venom containing both neurotoxins and coagulants. A bite can result in rapid paralysis, respiratory failure, and internal bleeding. Swift medical intervention and the availability of antivenom are crucial to increasing chances of survival.

3. Black Mamba (Dendroaspis polylepis):

Found in Africa, the Black Mamba is known for its incredible speed and highly potent venom. Its neurotoxic venom can cause paralysis and severe tissue damage. Bites often result in rapid onset of symptoms, making immediate medical attention essential for survival.

4. Russell's Viper (Daboia russelii):

Widespread in Asia, Russell's Viper delivers a venom rich in toxins that affect blood clotting. A bite can lead to uncontrollable bleeding, organ damage, and shock. This snake is responsible for many snakebite-related deaths in its range.

5. Saw-scaled Viper (Echis carinatus):

This small but deadly snake inhabits parts of Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia. Its venom contains a mix of toxins that lead to pain, swelling, and severe bleeding. Due to its cryptic nature and habitats near human settlements, encounters are common, resulting in a high number of fatalities.

6. King Cobra (Ophiophagus hannah):

Known as the world's longest venomous snake, the King Cobra's bite delivers a potent neurotoxic venom. While it's not as venomous as some other species on this list, the large quantity of venom it can inject makes it extremely dangerous. Bites can lead to paralysis and death within hours if untreated.

Conclusion:

The world of venomous snakes is a testament to the diverse and intricate mechanisms of nature's deadliest hunters. While the mere mention of these snake species may evoke fear, it's important to remember that snakebite incidents are relatively rare, and antivenom treatments have saved countless lives. Awareness, education, and appropriate precautions when in snake-prone areas are key to mitigating the risks associated with these fascinating yet dangerous creatures.

Good, bad and some more bad news.

Good news, someone got a erection that lasted over three hours due to a snake bite.

Bad news, turns out 3h long erections hurt like hell.

More bad news, it was most likely due to the snake's venom, so still venomous

they should come up with a positive snake that does something good when it bites you. so it's not just venom every time

13 of the most venomous snakes on the planet

6. Russell's viper

It's hard to get accurate estimates, as many people who are bitten by snakes live in regions with poor medical care and never report their encounters with the deadly reptiles. But around 58,000 deaths in India are attributed to snake bites every year, and the Russell's viper (Daboia russelii) is responsible for the majority of these mortalities, according to research published March 25, 2021, in the journal PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases. This species is considered one of the most deadly of the true vipers, researchers reported in 2021 in the journal Toxins.

Venomics and Peptidomics of Palearctic vipers: Clade-wide analysis of seven taxa of the genera Vipera, Montivipera, Macrovipera and Daboia across Türkiye

Snake venom variations are a crucial factor to understand the consequences of snakebite envenoming worldwide and therefore it's important to know about toxin composition alterations between taxa. Palearctic vipers of the genera Vipera, Montivipera, Macrovipera and Daboia have high medical impacts across the Old World. One hotspot for their occurrence and diversity is Turkiye on the border between the continents, but many of their venoms remain still understudied. Here, we present the venom compositions of seven Turkish viper taxa. By complementary mass spectrometry-based bottom-up and top-down workflows, the venom profiles were investigated on proteomics and peptidomics level. This study includes the first venom descriptions of Vipera berus barani, Vipera darevskii, Montivipera bulgardaghica albizona and Montivipera xanthina, as well as first snake venomics profiles of Turkish Macrovipera lebetinus obtusa and Daboia palaestinae, including an in-depth reanalysis of Montivipera bulgardaghica bulgardaghica venom. Additionally, we identified the modular consensus sequence pEXW(PZ)1-2P(EI)/(KV)PPLE for bradykinin-potentiating peptides (BPP) in viper venoms. For better insights into variations and potential impacts of medical significance the venoms were compared against other Palearctic viper proteomes, including the first genus-wide Montivipera venom comparison. This will help the risk assessment of snakebite envenoming by these vipers and aid in predicting the venoms pathophysiology and clinical treatments. http://dlvr.it/T3lYkF

Russell's viper (Daboia russelii) is a highly venomous snake found in South Asia and Southeast Asia, including India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Thailand. It is known for its potent hemotoxic venom, which can cause a range of symptoms, including swelling, bruising, bleeding, and tissue necrosis. Not only does this snake bite without a lot of warning, but the bite is also terribly painful because of the powerful venom. Russell's viper causes anywhere between 15,000 and 25,000 deaths in India each year by itself. This species is easily recognized by its triangular-shaped head, which is wider than its neck, and its characteristic dark brown or black zigzag patterns on its back. It can grow up to five feet in length and is a heavy-bodied snake with a broad, flattened head. Russell's viper is responsible for numerous snakebite cases in its range, and its venom is considered one of the most medically significant among venomous snakes. Prompt medical treatment and antivenom administration are essential in cases of snakebite by this species.

Happy Sunday! God Bless You All!!
