New Tweaked Designs for the Bosses, as well as some up-to-date headcanons for them! it's a bit long so it's going to be under a readmore-
Fresh
His voice is actually high pitched (like the vocals in the actual song) he doesn’t see any issue with it, but if someone starts giving him shit about it he will get annoyed and start getting hostile
Borderline blind, has to actively focus in order to see things clearly, so he mostly relies on his energysense to get around for the most part.
He actually likes kids, despite his grumpy demeanor, and he’s pretty good with them too, one of the best folks to leave your kids with if you don’t mind the trek to get to his den in the caves
Actually leans more on the feminine side for other centipede shapes, since he's larger than most (this tends to be a trend with arthropod shapes, larger individuals leaning more towards the female side of the shape gender spectrum)
Semi-transparent midsection with less plating than normal for centipedes, allowing you to see some of his bones (you can’t see his spine, or any of his organs, since they’re deeper in, though sometimes if his stomach or crop is really full, or if there’s something glowing brightly enough in there you might be able to somewhat see it through his skin, it’s more reliably seen with his crop though-)
Territorial towards places and people that he likes, you can tell if he likes you even if he doesn't tell you since he'd start getting lowkey territorial in regards to you
as close to cold-blooded as a shape can get, but it's offset by his general chunkiness and the fact that he dresses warmly
Collar is a comfort item that he almost always wears (also the spikes on them are made with carved treeangle wood, normally they absorb the excess beat-energy he produces, the corruption however overwhelmed them)
if he gets too cold he can go into torpor, sometimes quite suddenly (longest time he's been in torpor has been a month)
has a instinctual behavior pattern of eating more and starting to bulk up during colder months/seasons, even if he doesn't go into torpor during the season. (sometimes he can get pretty mindless with it. Try to avoid being around him if you happen to be small and roughly food-shaped.)
Surprisingly soft, good to cuddle with (as long as you ignore the scattered small plates along his back) don’t expect him to start cuddling unless he likes you though, he’s more likely to straight up eat or maul you, especially if it’s sudden and you startle him.
Likes to dig and burrow, if you can’t find him, just start looking for the big holes in the damp dirt.
He eats rocks and dirt sometimes, no real reason for it, he just wants to-
Rarely washes his clothes, washes his modified boots even less.
He normally keeps his mandibles tucked into his mouth, but if he wants to paralyze someone with his venom or just eating they tend to pop out. (if you get on his nerves enough he can and will bite with intent to paralyze and leave you there)
If he’s feeling strongly about something he starts growing spikes and more plates along his body.
Those ‘spikes’ along his tail are actually tiny centipede legs, they don’t really get used except as a pouchlet or in his shape form, but they’re there.
He actually knows how to make clothes, kinda had to in order to modify his own to fit his needs better. (most of his clothes are made of denim to last longer)
Lycan
Thrives off of chaos and like the goose from untitled goose game, they will cause problems*… on purpose (*minor problems, more mischievous rather than actual problems)
Grows ‘petals’ (they feel closer to feathers) during spring and winter, after that they tend to shed, leaving them with only their short fur
They are a carrier of the shape version of the vitiligo gene, which while meaning that they aren’t actively vitiligo, if certain conditions are met, the gene can get triggered and cause their colors to start to change, a condition/coloration that’s often referred to as ‘False Vitiligo’ (true vitiligo turns the shape white, gray, or black) in their case, their corruption triggered the gene, and after getting purified their fur and petals gradually started turning magenta.
They’re one of the few shapes that Bitis actually tolerates/likes, since they know when to shut up and calm down when needed. Plus they’re warm, and willing to act as a living heater for them.
Very loyal to their ‘pack’ which is mainly Fresh, Bitis and themself, though they have a few others that they consider as ‘pack’
Has a tendency of burying things, and also likes to dig, just to make holes
High energy, social, and a ball of furry chaos in general, prone to affectionate biting and scratching as well, not enough to break the skin, but still-
They do like being pet, and will invade people’s personal space, but tends to be leery and wary of people they don’t know petting them
Their sense of smell and hearing is really good, and can often be driven crazy by things like dog whistles and can hear and smell things that some others can’t
They can in fact howl, and sometimes they have the instinct to howl back when they hear it, it’s a impulse thing and they can resist it sometimes, but if they get caught off guard they will howl if they hear another howl
Will affectionately bully the folks that they like, but will cut it out if they upset them or if they’re not in the mood.
Bitis
Their corruption essentially swapped their purple/magenta colors when it came to their markings
An ‘ew people’ type of introvert who only tolerates a few shapes, everyone else can fuck off in their opinion
They’re a sea snake, so they do spend a good deal of time swimming and hunting fish to eat.
VERY venomous, and fatally so if too much gets put in, which is why they tend to keep their mouth sealed unless they’re actively using it.
Their venom is paralytic, and they mostly use it to hunt
However the instinct to bite something that startles them is still there, which tend to mean that if you startle them you are going to get headbutted, which is going to hurt both of you-
As close to cold-blooded as a shape can get, however, they can’t go into torpor to hibernate through the colder moths like fresh can, so they just stick to the volcano and bundle up in their ‘sweater’ for the most part. They don’t tend to leave the volcano at all during the colder months.
Shorter lengthwise than most serpent/snake shapes, but they’re built more powerfully and thicker as a compromise. Makes them actually pretty fast in the water, if somewhat less agile and harder to fit into crevices.
While it is possible to create a anti-venom for their venom, that involves having to interact with other shapes, and Bitis would rather not have to subject themself to being forced to interact with other shapes if they can avoid it.
Scales are smooth, to the point that it’s hard to find where one ends and another begins.
Keeps their hair braided, keeps it out of the way and in one place, since it constantly looks wet/greasy and is slightly heavier than the average. (the braid is what’s causing it to puff up into that hood shape around their head, nobody knows why and Bitis doesn’t care to figure it out)
Aro/Ace and gets annoyed/disgusted if people start talking about things like relationships or sex in front of them. You will get forced out one way or another.
Their serpent attacks are structures, and they do in fact have a few pet snakes as well, that are well taken care of.
Prone to stress-shedding random scales, which can be good when pressed underwater by something dangerous, distract the thing with sudden swarm of shiny scales, but it leaves that area without scales until they shed.
They can and WILL pop out their fangs and start threatening if someone starts getting on their nerves enough, and if they don‘t get the message they’ll do a ‘dry bite’ that normally gets other shapes to fuck off-
There’s no proof but there was slight increase in drownings when they first arrived, though honestly, Bitis straight up told people that they’re venomous, that it’s paralytic and that they want to get left the fuck alone unless they like you when they first arrived, so if you go swimming/flee into the water after getting bitten by them it’s kinda on you? (def still manslaughter/shapeslaughter though)
Widow
Prefers to live off of the land in the caves, there’s plenty enough big bugs and other animals that they can feed off of, so she really only tends to go into town for supplies she can’t find or make in the wilderness
Makes her own silk cloth with her own thread/silk and makes clothing and other cloth things like bags.
Gets along pretty well with Fresh, and will ask him to babysit occationally while she does something.
Def a milf, and can be quite flirty, though understands if people are a bit anxious about her, it’s only natural. (Arthropod shapes do have a tendacy to have… slightly cannibalistic urges, especially ones that are female/more on the female side of the spectrum, and DEFINATELY while gravid, even if the eggs aren’t fertile/fertilized)
Pretty chill and laid back. she knows that she’s one of the largest shapes on paradise and that most things can’t threaten her, so she’s pretty laid back
Do NOT threaten her kids though, she can go from 0 to 100 on a pin drop if her kids are involved.
Speaking of her kids, she has a decent amount of them, not a large amount (at least for arthropod shapes) but a decent amount, roughly around 8 of them currently, and a good few others which are fully grown now.
Currently single, and yeah she’s open, though generally isn’t fond of marriage, she’s not against the concept, but she likes having multiple partners that she can dote on
She’s very doting and affectionate with her partners and her kids, can and will pick people up and carry them around.
Her voice is chirpy and relatively high pitched, and sounds like it belongs to something far smaller than her.
Will affectionately nibble on folks that they like as long as they’re comfortable with it (no mandibles though since that’s where the venom’s kept)
Her venom is a flesh-melter (she does have anti-venom on her so if she accidentally envenoms someone it’s dealt with quickly) which helps her feed her kids (most pouchlets can only eat fluids or soft foods at first, and spider shapes can have some difficulties eating solid food sometimes)
Morbid
Yeah, they’re a bit bonkers because of their isolation in the tree/level void:™: and are desperate for company, food, and touch- (they need a good amount of therapy)
However their unstable mental state and their starvation often results in… well… bad outcomes for most who come into contact with them in the level void-
Fossilized is really the best way i can describe what’s happening to their beat-energy- since their beat-energy is still the same but it’s gradually getting well… replaced or petrified by the ambient energy of the tree void-
if they were to die in the tree void:™: their energy would still stick around it would just… decay or regress into something that’s more similar to the levels (yes that’s my headcanon about the tutorial levels, the tree’s gotta eat too-) until eventually fading away into the background
However, since they’re a spirit and elemental hybrid, they can feed off of things that other shapes can’t, specifically since they’re a fire elemental, they can feed off of anything that’s flammable, things like clothes for example (which is why they don’t have any clothes) and spirit shapes can essentially parasitize off of other sources of energy, and in their case, they’re feeding off of the energy in the level void itself. It’s not the best, and they are still very much starving, but it’s enough to keep them alive.
Due to their isolation and general insanity, they don’t really remember anything about themselves from before their entrapment there, they can only get glimpses or blurred sensations occasionally, though once they’re freed they do start to remember a bit more
Their mind is actively suppressing their memories to avoid trauma (they were very attached to the rest of their group, which well… aren’t alive anymore- save for antimony’s ‘familiar’ which is prolly the only thing keeping them sane… or as sane as they can be after their release, and tree help you if you are a threat to their only remaining link to their friends their companion)
Pyromaniac (they had this condition before, but being trapped there made it worse and caused them to start trying to set everything on fire just so there’s something else apart from the darkness there) it gets somewhat better after their release but they still have urges to set everything on fire-
VERY touch starved, but wear something flame-resistant or fire-proof because they WILL become VERY hot temperature-wise VERY quickly
Oh yeah since they’re a fire elemental they can control their body temperature, but it normally runs hot enough to burn people without protection (at least internally) and it tends to be a bit wonky due to their mental state as well, sudden highs and lows along with their mood and current state of mind. If they focus they can control it somewhat, but they have to re-learn how to do it, since it’s so unpredictable now.
They can phase through objects and walls since they’re a spirit hybrid, but anything that they have on them that isn’t made with their own beat-energy will get stuck on surfaces unless they actively surround it with their own energy and sorta ‘falsify’ it being part of them
This does mean that they can sometimes get stuck in walls after eating or drinking something.
They are VERY clingy and a bit obsessive towards those who they enjoy the presence of-

Invertober Day 29: Tiger Centipede (Scolopendra polymorpha)
Reference by Seth Patterson
[Image ID: A digital painting of a Tiger Centipede, only its face, three of its body segments, some of its legs, and most of its antennae are visible. Its antennae are curled inward. It is coming into the piece from the top left corner. It uses the colors red, pink, purple, and blue, all of which are very saturated. It is on an alternating purple background. End ID.]
#I said I was gonna finish invertober and I goddamn meant it#also i know the reference is a different scolopendra species shhhhhh its ok all scolopendra shape wise look extremely similar#bug#bugblr#bug art#bugs#centipede#centipedes#myriapoda#my art#art#invertober2023#invertober

Another thing like the ones from last night
#art talks about stuff#unlabelled drawing tag#i have mixed thoughts on this one#on one hand my colouring + rendering is way better compared to the first two. on the other its design falls flat#it's meant to be based on pug moth catepillars but it's too skinny and i fucked up the head shape#so it just looks like a weird centipede. i think the hairs kind of bring it back a little but idk#love how the eyes in the final sprite look though#id in alt text

You don't learn from successes; you don't learn from awards; you don't learn from celebrity; you only learn from wounds and scars and mistakes and failures.
Jane Fonda
#personal#behold the scar#it looks like I have two belly buttons now#and my original belly button has definitely changed shape#which is still a bit weird to see#with the little staple marks to the side it kind of looks like a centipede

updated/tweaked design for him- the bastard centipede man-
also some notes:
there's no real evidence that he's actually eaten people before, but it's pretty heavily implied that he's eaten at least one other shape
he's less susceptible to cold temperatures than most centipede shapes, but can still konk out/go into torpor if he gets too cold
(he instinctively eats more and starts building up fat reserves when it starts getting colder. he gets more aggressive during this time)
he's modified his clothes himself, and is actually p good at it
prolly has several actual centipedes chilling on his person at any given time. (they eat all of the other bugs that get caught in his hair when he's crawling around in the caves so he doesn't mind it)
likes to burrow. has eaten both dirt and rocks before. almost constantly tracks dirt & mud in whenever he goes inside when it's been wet out.
guy's good with kids but he does not understand how to take care of high-maintenance pouchlets. (it's like that video of a male kestrel trying to feed his hatchlings a whole ass rat and being confused. he does his best he just gets really confused around them.)
he's borderline illiterate since he literally can't see text that's written down unless it's either written in rarer/expensive high-energy mediums (or blood) when it comes to paper.
His guitar (not pictured) is a old salvaged one that he found discarded and he'd slowly been repairing and modifying it to his own tastes. he has also smacked people with it before. he will not hesitate to do so again.
hair is fairly stiff, and almost feels like small quills or the needles of a plastic pine tree.
more or less lost the use of the legs on his tail as he grew, they can still twitch and latch onto things, but apart from that they're just... there.
#CanonAdjacentAU#character design (jsab)#he will neither confirm or deny having committed cannibalism before#he's v chunky and soft in the body bc chubby#he's also fairly quiet for a centipede that big- it startles ppl a lot who aren't used to it#Centipede Shape

Have you ever considered a centipede plushie? I imagine its an opportunity for some very fun shaping
I have considered a centipede! I think insects are awesome, I just haven't been able to decide on a specific species. Some animals, you can do like a generic version of that animal, even super simplified (like a teddy bear version of a cat), but I think it would difficult to simplify a centipede recognizably unless I went with a specific kind of centipede, and then I'd need to be sure I could make the markings, which might be a lot of applique Just realized after all of that that you said centipede but I was thinking caterpillar lol I will go look up centipedes. It's still possible I'll make one, but it would be a lot of work to make the legs individually, I think
#ask away!#thanks nonny! my bad on the centipede/caterpillar confusion lol#I want to make a giant like pillow sized caterpillar plushie eventually#but I'd have to get the shaping pretty good I think#centipedes I am unsure about but willing to consider
