apologies for the delay in art:’3 stylus died so I’m stuck with no pen pressure for a second. anyways these are rick b-46 and morty b-46. still working on summer for this but here’s info under cut for these two^_^ seems like they came across a scorpion scaled butterfly
morty b-46 (collector’s assistant morty) is your average teen except they get dragged around by rick to help with his endless study of alien bugs. unfortunately in this universe, he has an allergy for venom which makes the adventures all the more scarier to them! they prefer to tinker with electronics and what tech they come across when they’re out helping rick and get some free time.
rick b-46 (also known as entomologist rick or bug collector if you wanna get silly with it) is an entomologist who travels across different dimensions to collect extraterrestrial insects/arthropods. not much is really too special about him, except he’s one of the lucky few who fixed things with bp. so instead of living with his daughter’s family on earth, he lives with birdperson. one of the slightly more tolerable ricks out there

18 HOUR ROAD TRIP TO BARCELONA WHAT ARE THEY SINGING!?
(considering the musical limitation to 2004...) I'm thinking either 'Toxic', 'Gasolina', 'Bodies', or 'Crazy in Love'. However, I'm happy to take suggestions ;) Poor Luis... coffee was a necessary sacrifice. They'll pass out for a couple hours soon enough!
The best (or collectively most liked) suggestion will be posted in the appropriate chapter of Simulation Swarm when it goes up!
Side note.... love how this is like, one of the angstier and more emotional fics I've written, but I can't seem to draw them any other way than kinda cutesy... eugh!

@sonic-oc-showdown
well, i said that i'd make a post breaking down stings design if he made it to round 2 and so! this is it! this is that post
without further ado, let's talk about how i designed my boy!
warnings for (drawn) close-up images of scorpions:
let's start off with his head!
the vast majority of sting's head comes from scorpion anatomy! his eyebrows are based off of a pair of a scorpion's walking legs. scorpions have 4 pairs of walking legs which are attached to the head/thorax. i can't represent all 4 pairs but i could at least represent 1, hence why his eyebrows are Huge and stick off of his head
the pair of darker red tubes that go from behind his eyebrows to the back of his head, those are meant to be pedipalps! pedipalps are actually part of a scorpion's mouth, but for sonic character design purposes i used it to resemble hair. as for the actual pincers, thats what the two things on the back of his head are. if you were to translate it to hair, it'd be like a tight, messy bun
the other part of a scorpion's mouth are the chelicerae! his mouth originally took more inspiration from how a scorpion's mouth is supposed to look, but due to how difficult it was to consistently draw + emote in general, this was changed to be more beak-like (using mimic for reference). his "tusks" are still reminiscent of the tip of the chelicerae, only they turn up to help his mouth look more distinct!
as for the 2 pairs of dot markings on his head, those are meant to represent eyes! scorpions have at least 6 eyes, 12 at most. the 2 pairs of markings are meant to give the impression that sting has 6 eyes!
next up is his clothes! since sting specializes in close-combat fighting, he doesn't really wear loose clothes as he doesn't want to risk tripping over himself or getting caught on anything. that's why he wears a simple torn tank top and some pants
his belt is fashioned after the segments on a scorpion's abdomen! thats why there's all those lines on it
his shoes, the golden edge of his shoes with the two little protrusions, those are meant to resemble a scorpion's paws!
as for sting's tail, the reason why it's so thick is because he is a highly venomous scorpion! it's also why the pincers on his head are so small: scorpions with thick tails and small pincers are Very Venomous while scorpions with thin tails and big pincers are mostly harmless! i went for a more spherical shape with his tail because i thought it looked cool. he originally didn't have a set number of segments but ultimately i landed on 6, which is the same amount of an actual scorpion (5 metasomal segments + the 1 pincer)
lastly, his palette! sting's palette is actually inspired by the deathstalker scorpions from kipo and the age of wonderbeasts! actual deathstalkers are more orange/brown, but the mutated ones in kipo are various shades of red. you can really see the inspiration in this image here
his tail has an alternating color palette for readability! it'd be harder to make out more action-y poses if it was all the same color, or if it was half lighter half darker, so the alternating colors help make it more distinct
this art is from august! it helps show the color breakdown
(flat + shade)
AND THATS IT! that is all the thought and inspiration i put into my boy. if you took the time to actually read through all of this thank you so much!!! it genuinely means a lot to me 🌟
if you really like sting, please consider voting for him in the oc showdown! you can vote here
