[egyptiandragon]

Finally managing to roll back around to finishing Huevember, better late than never I suppose (҂ ꒦ິヮ꒦ິ)

Day 20 (catch up)!

[hyperactiveparanoid]

I spent all day on this, it's so dumb lmao

I'm incredibly rusty on animation, that walk cycle is not something I am proud of but I just had this idea from this song so here you go lmao EDIT: I UPDATED the animation because I found out that FlipaClip ate a frame upon export thus making the animation choppier than it should have been >:(

It's like, you go up to Baldur's Gate 3 and you're like, hey, you're a fantasy game. Can I play as something weird? Like maybe a centaur? That's a fantasy race, right?

And Baldur's Gate 3 says, uhm, no. You can play as a human. If you really must be different you can play as a dragonborn.

And it's like. oh, neat! That's like, a dragon?

And they're like, well, it looks more like some kind of fish... maybe like, you know those shrink-wrapped dinosaurs from the earlier days of paleontology?

And it's like... oh. Okay. What about modded races? Did someone mod in a centaur?

And BG3 is like, buddy. Buddy. Do you know how hard that would be for fans to animate? We don't even have a modding toolkit for you to use. Of course not. You can't play as a centaur. You play as a human.

And it's like... no, sure, of course, I'm sorry for bothering you.

You go to Caves of Qud and ask if you can play as a centaur.

CoQ says oh, sure, one of the first npcs you run into is a taur! The extra legs let you outspeed enemies and also give you a carry weight bonus! But what's that over there is that your fursona

and i'm like, oh, what, uhh

and CoQ is like, yeah! What is that, two-headed, four-armed foxthing? Why don't you play as that instead?

and i'm like, I'm sorry, what?

and CoQ is like, yeah, having two heads lets you wear two kinds of helmets for different bonuses, and also lets you use mental abilities quicker AND helps you shake off mental effects faster! the extra arms lets you stack up a whole bunch of weapons at once, it's a really powerful base to build your character around!

And I'm like... well... what about the visual representation of it?

and CoQ goes, we use sprites with 2 colors and negative space, so you don't need to relearn 3D modeling and animation to have your guy represented in the game with the same fidelity as everything else that already exists in it! no problem!

and like... of course, the Thing You Can Play As isn't the only factor that makes a game good! but after experiencing this, it's so hard to enjoy games like BG3. Like yeah the story and its writing and your ability to affect it are unmatched in BG3 it especially makes Bethesda look like hot steaming garbage!

but i have to either play as a human or a shrink wrapped fish dinosaur from 60s paleontology to do it? and every game makes me just play as a human. the most fantastical games with the craziest settings all mostly moderate themselves to "medieval europe... with a little bit of weirdness"

meanwhile in CoQ turning a locked door sapient, recruiting it, and giving it a chaingun so i have a literal metal door wielding a chaingun is a perfectly viable answer to getting through a locked door

anyway that's why i think the developers of CoQ should be given the budget of BG3 tyvmia

1, 5, 13, 17 ? ^_^

How many works of art have you made this year?

I honestly don't know... I've made over 200 pictures of just taurs alone lmfaoooooooo but as far as full pieces go....... I dunno.. Like 50. 60?

5. What work are you most proud of (regardless of likes/reblogs)?

All of them tbh... yay.

13. What pairing/character/subject/body part/object gave you the most trouble this year?

Backgrounds and perspective... Notice none of my fuckass art has a background this year lmfaooo

17. What piece took the longest to create?

Ough. I don't remember. Maybe this animation?

The quastions

[dukeofash]

r: can not currently get any thing , but what would a taur model run someone ? considering getting a horse taur character of ours modeled and the taur you just posted is incredible , considering you for when we are able

Thanks for asking! Taur models fall under the complex model category, however since taur models require me to re-animate almost every minecraft animation that involves legs (for example, here's the animation list for the last one I worked on) so their complexity price makes it higher than that, not to mention other emotes/toggles you'd like to add.

My commissions are currently closed, but I'm planning on re-opening slots after the current batch is finished so keep an eye out!

[modeus-the-misanthrope]

More fantasy settings need *Insert animal*-Taur and Naga characters in them. Monster-people in fantasy settings NEED to be more than the Startrek style of "not human". (Startrek style = stapling bullshit to their ears/forehead)

[buggybuggs]

Steppy Steps!!

Get Your Steppy Steps Here!!

I got bored and made this little YCH for anyone with a sillay taur character! (or character that you want translated into a taur!!)

@foxbap's sillay fox

Price? Just 6 bucks! Slots? Infinite!!

Usually animations like this would be 30 bucks or so, but I'm bored!! So this YCH is 80% off the usual price!! You can even just pop me 2 ko-fi's and say its for one! Really you can even DM me and I'll probably make you a free one of these, I'm really just bored and only gave them a price so I can tell my GF I'm doing commissions

don't tell her.

So, want one? shoot me a DM! :D

[skunkes]

idk if there's a general term for human upper half animal lower half beasts but i loooooove characters and ocs of this nature i need to go back to just drawing that for fun again. do u remember when i drew duck-taurs (i know "taur" isnt the best wording for it)... thinking abt when i've drawn al with lion lower half, and cow of course... i loves it

[shortshifter]

I definitely thought of fewer usual names for giants~ anyone know more?

Do you have a favorite type for your OCs or fandom characters to be? Or just like to see in art and stories? Have your own you made up? Share them here, I’d love to hear about them!

*I added humans in case humans are the “giants” of your hypothetical world, since humans aren’t necessarily the standard size all the time.

I have a sister poll for tinies as well!

[poketaur]

i primarily like to focus on the pokemon themselves but i am genuinely considering also doing trainer characters as taurs with their ace pokemon as the base of their taur form... thoughts on this..? where do i start hmm... manga? anime? game humans? not sure...

Huevember Day 18 (catch up)<3

[sosadraws]

SOSA I’ve got a fun question but who/what are your muses and/or inspirations when it comes to your style? Like are there any specific artists or pieces of media that you can say heavily influenced your arts/you want to take influence from?

HI Lynx, I LOVE this question! Sorry for the wait, but first I had to gather enough visual references and gather my thoughts so I wouldn't be fangirling all the way around, sorry 😅 (btw sorry if some of the images look like shit, I made these collages on paint 😅)

Some nudity and gore/body horror under the read more

I think my most obvious/recent inspiration is Haruko Ichikawa. No long ago someone (hi Jay) mentioned that my characters are quite elongated and have very long necks, AND I BLAME THIS MANGAKA FOR THAT! (what drawing gems for two years does to a mf). She has such nice panel composition and has this trope going on in most of her stuff where a character looks like a normal human, but it's actually some sort of inhuman being, which leads to really interesting (and almost surreal) body horror that it's oddly beautiful in it's own way (ngl all the artwork of the gems characters being shattered to pieces has such a morbid quality to them, a but it's so pleasing to see and draw...). Very good stuff.

Have I mentioned that I LOVE creatures? I have a weak spot for monster design, SPECIALLY the animal types with human/humanoid faces and weird taurs. My fav artists on this domain are @silicon65, with his creatures that transmit such a melancholic feel to them (and lots of critters with human faces!); @bwubwuart, with VERY unique creatures that still feel grounded in reality thanks to her knowledge in anatomy.

There are also manga artists such as Ryo Sumiyoshi, who has such an appealing way to design creatures and furries (and has written peak human/monster relationshipscofcof), and Ryoko Kui, who doesn't really need introduction, but I feel it's still worth mentioning that I love the diversity in design when it comes to her most humanoid characters.

There are two aspects of @ccasino's art that I really enjoy, one being THIS particular shading/rendering style that gives an uncanny feeling to some of her pieces, and the other being how transformative she can get, even if it's the same muse in some of her art. That's really inspiring, I need to step up my game.

And since we're talking about creepy stuff, I love deadlymelodic's (Molly Brown), art for two reasons: in one part, there's the terrifying creature designs she paints or sculpts, but there's also the characterization. You see, along with those very scary renders, there are also the cutesy doodles that (if I'm not mistaken) include their canon personalities (I love when a creature is also a character, if you get what I mean). So, while pretty much all of them look very creepy, very few of them are actually evil, and that's beautiful.

In a similar vein and to finalize, there's Q Hayashida, whose love for masked characters (as well as buff/creepy characters) I 100% support. But there's also how she writes relationships/bonds?? One of the things I really enjoyed about Dorohedoro is that despite all the gore and weird fucked up shit going on, there was still this level of silliness an the different depictions of familial/platonical bonds. I would call it quite wholesome if not because those characters are quite messed up on their own way, and will later kill brutally some guy, but you get the idea. I really enjoy that kind of stuff.

So yeah! there's that! Special mentions as well to transformers/mecha art, Felix Colgrave, Junji Ito, weirdcore, low-poly 3D models and that type of vintage art that has that grainy (airbrushed?) texture to it. Thanks for asking, and now you know!!~ ✨

[multiversal-madness]

So I’ve been thinking about centaurs again recently so now it’s Centaur Time!

I’ve worked out a few characters and what I think they’d be, here are the ones I’ve drawn so far: Bubblegum is a gum dragon (she can’t fly), Finn is a polar bear, Simon is a snow leopard and Ice King is a snow leopard griffin (the crown changed him). Also Jake (and other non humanoids/animals) will just get six limbs instead of a -taur part.

I’ll take some requests of characters to turn into centaurs, and you’re free to suggest different animals/mythical creatures, though I’ll draw them with what I think fits best. (Also feel free to request characters I’ve already drawn including these four, I don’t mind drawing them again).

If Monster High was doing Romeo and Juliet...

There would be like, Drama in the drama. Like, seriously, have you ever seen an episode of Monster High where all is just peaceful or in harmony with the hallway ? Is Shakespeare a dignified tea party also ? What can POSSIBLY GO WRONG with Monster High and Shakespeare blended together ? Poor Mr. Where, he's like, the only responsible adult in this whole mess, and not for too long....

MAIN ROLES

Juliet Capulet - Draculaura. She was the first to apply for the project, so Mr. Where give her the role of Juliet ! She ALREADY played Juliet, of course, but she promised to Clawd that she will be the one to schedule they're next romantic date.... And you ask, ''but, he know right ?''.... ha ha.... No.

Romeo Montague - Clawd Wolf. You know, there is some darkest hours in you're relationship's status, a time when you need to partake into the strange fantaisies of you're loved one. Clawd love Draculaura, but he know that he is going to die very soon, truly a true Romeo move.

Juliet Capulet (Second Part) - Kieran Valentine. This was part of his therapy, okay ?

Romeo Montague (Second Part) - Spelldon Cauldronello. Mother Circe recently taught him Divination. And he know there will be, like, real Drama. He's here for that... And for Kieran Valentine's booty.

ROLES OF CHAOTIC ALIGNEMENT

Rosaline - Abbey Bominable. Mr. Where say that she will not speak, and she don't want to waste oxygen on such silly things or being the romantic playground of a ''Shakespeare'' somebody... Rosaline is her spirit animal.

The Nurse - Clawdeen Wolf. It's possible that she want some claws on the matter with Draculaura and her brother. It"s seems to be closely related to some weird family-teenage matters, or just a upcoming prediction of Clawd's difficult encounter with theater...

Capulet (Patriarch) - Bram Devein. A weird Belfry Prep thing about being the masters of something.... But there is a problem, he didn't read the end of the play.

Montague (Patriarch) - Romulus. A weird Crescent Moon High's habit about having a eye on Belfry Prep.... But there is a problem, he didn't read the end of the play.

Prince(ss) Escalus - Amanita Nightshade wanted the best role, because Amanita can't end or be loved by only one, she is too bootiful for that ! So she wanted to be THE PRINCESS. And she was merciful, she only changed the gender, not the name ! Now, Mr. Where is praying that she don't want anything MORE.

Count Paris - Catrine DeMew. She wanted to explore some ''orientation theories'' by playing a potential suitor and viewing the effect between ''role and gender''. Mr. Where didn't ask anything about this.

Mercutio - Purrsephone. Apparently there is some minor conflicts between her and her twin, so she is her for the catharsis.

Tybalt - Meowlody. Apparently there is some minor conflicts between her and her twin, so she is her for the catharsis.

Lady Capulet - Heaths Burns.... This was that or detention and a word for the parent. He choose the first because he didn't want to lose his new Gamegore yet. But Mr. Where is seriously asking himself if this is a good idea....

Lady Montague - Gigi Grant. She just want to experience Theater, so a little role is best. Hope she will have a first good impression...

Benvolio - Toralei Stripes. This time, no mischief.... She just want to see the dynamics between the twins.

Balthasar - Ghoulia Yelps. She want to experience a new hypothetical mechanic for zombie's language on stage ! Mr. Where didn't have his word about that, because Mr. Rotter is the one whose class is concerned about the project.

Peter - Manny Taur didn't read anything about Romeo and Juliet, but this is his last chance to prove to Iris that he is a sentimental Monster.... He just hope is character is one of those who die.

Friar Laurence - Jackson Jeckyll. Well... This everyone's hope at least.

Abram and Friar John - Quill Tarantyno. Because hey, Backgrounders need love, too !

Gregory and Sampson - Astranova and Djinni Whisp Grant. Astranova is there for the experience, Djinni is just there because she know there will be some deep gay vibes between Spelldon and Kieran, and she don't want to lose or miss is bet with Casta.

Other Roles - You know, these benevolent souls are actually part of the few one who actually care about Shakespeare. But, Alas, with all the chaos that will probably occur very soon, I doubt that they will be recognized for such passion and bravery.... And there is no enough budget for backgrounders.

OTHERS

Technician and special effects - Invisi Billy, who is probably the secret nephew or blood-relative of the teacher at this point.

Prompter (aka. the litteral ghoul that save you're ass when you don't know you're text) - Scarah Screams. She will be so valuable for all that is going to happens.... Or maybe Invisi Billy will be too much of a distraction.

Well.... This is all for me. Goodnight. I didn't put all the cast, sorry. If you have some ideas, you can propose you're own version of this mess. I'm going to sleep, personally.

To be or not be, here's the question that nobody ask to a skull to begin with.
