#I am not fast

[ganondoodle]

a rough concept for how Dongos (engl. dondon?) work in my rewrite, i want them to actually … be something beside a gem vending maschine :(

more info, both from the image and extra

they are ridable and tameable

slow movement

can climb almost any wall and dig through rocks and ore deposits quickly

they hang on walls here and there in the underground

big mole like front paws for digging and climbing, hooves at the back legs with one big claw so they can hang securely on a wall

two saddles can be attached (for link and zelda)

they have little appendages on their chin for sensing food

Gigama (frox) prey on them, hence their shell and pattern like the ground for hiding (if they get hit by a gigama they will burrow away and you have to call them again)

big orange-white eyes like cave or deep sea creatures so they can take in as much of the little light avaible in the dark

they are now found in small herds but were nearly driven to extinction twice as both the sonau and later the ancient shiekah mined for luminous stones which is their primary food source (hence the glowing of the horns, teeth and claws)

(idea? the yiga have little mini stables in the underground bc they also use the Dongos to get around, once you have at least the mask OR have koga as sage unlocked you can register Dongos at their places and call them while in the depths anywhere as long as they are not in the stable)

i dont think they should be able to get to the surface, or if they do they can only be used at night bc the light of the sun would damage their eyes and/or hurt them otherwise, given that they evolved in nigh total darkness

(totk rewritten project)

A young dragon that voyages into lost and forbidden parts of the astral plane, or the space between stars, returns transformed into a horrifying star-famished beast. Leaning into cosmic horror, this dragon's theme is the unceasing hunger of a black hole, and the otherworldly awe of pulsing nebulae and dying stars. This is an aggressive beast that locks down its prey with gravitational power and light channeled from beings that live in pulsing, dying stars.

Sometimes, you just need to make a horrid beast. I know this is now incredibly late for Smaugust 2023, but when I saw a vacant-eyed, hollow dinosaur toy screaming at the sky I knew it was right for the prompt "Eldritch". But, I wanted to sidestep the expected 'tentacles like Cthulhu' approach, and so instead I used limbs from a toy lobster and other insects to give it some bony mandibles. The tongue was made by using a leftover tail from the dino that went into a previous build, with a UV resin coat, including a drip along a strand of transparent cotton to give it an icky strand of saliva.

The goal for this build was to gross myself out while making it, and to create a monster that implies something worse out there. And I admit that I love to hate looking at this one.

And with that, my Smaugust work is done for 2023. I'm planning on taking a short break from scratchbuilding to finish some sculptures and other WIPS.

i will be joining art fight this year solely to work on the artworks i made as revenges last time around haha

[turtle-ika]

what bothered you in the ending? i have a mixed opinion of it and i'm curious to hear about yours!

MUTANT MAYHEM SPOILERS AHEAD!!!

it was the whole acceptance thing and them going to high school at the end. It was too fast and too unrealistic (and i know saying that something is 'unrealistic' in a world with mutant turtles who know kung fu is pretty stupid haha) but it was! idk i just feel they didn't build up to that well enough and it just happened out of the blue.

i would be fine with it if only a few people helped them out and kept their secret from the rest of society, bc lets not kid ourselves, society is not that accepting - individuals yes, we can change, but not the whole city. Maybe if they hadn't included the scenes from the past, when they made contact with the top side and the humans feared and rejected them, then i would have believed that this story is set in a different world from ours, but now i just can't.

and personally, if i wanted to watch a show set in high school i could just watch any out of the 100 shows that already exist x) not interested in seeing turtles in school

also (this is already so long but i have to) i kind of have an issue with the fact that every mutant under Superfly switched to the good side at the end that fast. I understand they probably didn't have time to break it up a little, have some of them question things for a while longer, but that also just threw me off.

god i swear i did enjoy the movie haha but these are just my honesty opinions

Can I get a loafy Lucky boi with Dusty if you feel up to it? Best buddies!

Dusty doesn't loaf the best but he's still very shaped!!!

... Nor did I draw Lucky making the best loaf but he's still very pretty.

Here's Lucky by himself. c:

Amber fog

amber - share an unpopular opinion that you may have

Well the current one in my family rn is that i don't need to go back to therapy lol

fog - how well do you think you'd do in a zombie apocalypse scenario?

while i'd like to say I think i would be a good basic medic because i'm not squeamish and usually get asked anyway to deal with any blood/gross stuff at home and i have decent aim to get some ranged shots in for temporary defense-

but most likely i'd be buy-us-some-time zombie chow (╥﹏╥)

1 and 9 for artist asks!! (and 12 if you feel like it)

1 .what is your favorite color to work with?

hmmmmmm. i honestly can't be sure. i have thought long and hard and i keep going "oh i like pink! but pink with darker pink and red and purple and yellow" until whatever color i start with i just end up going around the color wheel hdvfbgndjcbd. so all of them i guess? but i do particularly like adding shading/lighting to skin tones, it's a fun challenge for me! that's my favorite part of coloring if i ever get that far w a drawing.

9. what drawing program do you use? (if the artist does digital art)

i use this app called autodesk on ipad. it's free and it's actually pretty good but i have my issues with it [dramatically stares into the distance]. no but fr it's good. sharp glaze + glaze brush my beloved <3 i also use csp sometimes :)

12. draw one of your favorite characters in 15 seconds.

gsfxgsxvsxhsx this is the best i could do

Look, it's probably just not possible for me to do any of those. Or to the extent I could do them I would probably completely and utterly burn out and have to quit. I've never held any of those jobs and there is good reason for that.

For sure waiter or other food service would not be doable. I actually tried to help out a friend at a food stall once and within an hour I fell apart had to just leave. Someone else had brought me but wasn't there, I just walked home, several miles.

Retail, perhaps I could do, at least for a time, if I didn't have to run a checkout line. I could not do checkout/cashier.

Call center/help desk is closest to something I have done, I have been tech support, but it was never call center, it was always onsite, and for internal. Yes people could call us, but it was more common to get stuff via the helpdesk web interface, email, or just people walking up. And while we might solve things over the phone or web/email, it was usually perfectly possible to go the the system having issues. And sometimes required, for hardware issues, or hardware upgrades, etc.

And that kind of tech work is very different and much much easier than a pure call center situation, and doubly so if it a call center for external customers. Internal customers there is usually a way to remote into people's machines even if you can't physically go to them. External customers, that is usually not possible. And while I *can* talk a user through just about anything, it is often vastly harder than if I can remotely or physically access the computer myself. The level of communication needed is extraordinary, and when it is verbal, it is immensely draining.

Things like server-side application support, and system admin are much better for me, I am better at setting things up, at maintenance, and at figuring out and fixing hard problems, than dealing with huge numbers of relatively simple problems like end user desktop usually is.

you cant move up and become a manager or anything either you will always be at the bottom most entry level position. however hours will be as typical for that position and you still get the 100k. basically i just want to know which of these jobs you’d be happiest doing if you didnt have to worry about anything outside of work lol

imagine being someone at new rome university and not knowing percy is the same guy as “percy jackson, son of poseidon, two-time hero of olympus, former praetor” because the thought doesn’t even cross your mind. like… he’s percy. he’s a total frat boy. on a normal night, he walks into a party, refers to everyone as bro or dude, socializes with every living (and not-living) person in the room, makes at least 50 sarcastic comments, plays 12 rounds of beer pong, drinks way too much, and then skates around campus on his skateboard yelling “I LOVE NEW YORK” (which makes no sense, because they’re in california) until someone calls his girlfriend to come get him.

and then one day there’s an attack, and frat boy percy is all of a sudden a fighting machine. he’s yelling battle cries alongside the praetors frank zhang and hazel levesque as they lead everyone into battle. (why is he with the praetors? and why…. why in the world do the praetors seem to be following his lead?) his sword slashes through armies of monsters faster than you’ve ever seen. he’s controlling the entire river surrounding the camp, creating huge waves as tall as skyscrapers that crash down all around him, wiping out monsters and causing mass destruction to his enemies’ ranks. the sky is suddenly dark above you, ice-cold water droplets are slashing through the air, and the wind is blowing so aggressively that it’s making it hard to stand up steadily. because he’s somehow created a hurricane.

and he looks terrifying. you can feel the power radiating off of him. he’s like a god. or maybe a monster. it’s hard to tell. you’re a little scared of him, to be honest. but also in total awe, because it’s extraordinary. he’s extraordinary.

frat boy percy is not who you thought he was.
