Pose Reference Resources

I promised Dia (aka aerequets) that I will make a collection of pose references in the reply of one of her art posts, and then I completely forgot about it. Until now. I'm sorry for my bad memory.

So, yeah, better late than never I guess?

The pose collection I use the most is no longer free. They used to let you download a whole album (more than 8GB worth of data) to use offline, but now you have to pay $40/package or $200 for full sets. I still have the zip file for a very old version of theirs, but I can't legally share it. So, let's skip to the other options.

1/ First, you heard of those 3D dolls program that let you model your own reference pose? This one is an online one and for free, the whole ordeal. Of course since it's online and free, you can't save your model for next time, and it costs quite a lot of time to set the model up. So, you should take as much screenshots in as many tricky angles as you need once you done with the setting. Best using for complicated scenes where those below don't have what you need already available.

2/ This one is free and in 3D, you can rotate the model to any angle that you need. The only set back is the numbers of poses are quite limited. This one is best for using as a basic blocks then build up what you want to draw, or just as a practice to improve your understanding of human anatomy.

3/ This one is free for personal uses and the pose collection is massive. The setbacks are the language barrier (it's in Japanese, English is sometimes tag-a-long) and you have to search through their pages for what you need. The pics for each pose is static but they are in different angle in almost 360 degrees. There are many 2-person and 3-person poses too. Great for illustration inspiration.

4/ This one will only show reference photos of human head, at whatever angle you rotate the model. The web interface is easy to use. There are options like searching based on gender, ages, emotions, glasses, facial hair or not, etc. Good for practicing face drawing.

5/ This one will show reference photos for human body parts, at whatever angle you rotate the model, read the instructions for how to do it. The web interface is quite hard to use at first, just tinkering around for a bit, and you will be fine. There are options like searching based on gender and which particular parts that you need refs for. Good for that moment when you go "huh? how is this <body part> will look in this <situation>????"

6/ This one will only show reference photos of animal heads, and only the head, at whatever angle you rotate the model. The accurate skull refencence list is their best point. There are enough common species in the drop down list. Tbh, I don't use this much because I often need refs for the whole animal most of the time. But it's best for furry artists, I guess?

7/ Real model photos. They sell pose reference in themed packs, but there are enough free packs to use as drawing practice too.

8/ This is the best for general background reference. Lots of options. Not really good for very specific location results, but good for random background in drawings.

9/ Lastly, for specific objects or background references at strange angles, I often search for 3D models on this site then take screenshots of whatever I need.

That's all, folks. Hope this list can help ease some of the struggles that we will encounter on our quest of learning the art of drawing things 😂

CLOSED AS OF JUNE 2024!!! WILL ANNOUNCE IF/WHEN THEY ARE BACK OPEN, THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST <3

I am happy to announce that after an extended hiatus, commissions are open until I burn out for the foreseeable future !! I know it's long but please read the information below carefully if you're interested in paying me to draw ur guys <3

[PRICING] ❖ bust (chest-up): $45 ❖ half (waist-up): $60 ❖ ¾ (knee-up): $75 ❖ fullbody: $95

each additional character is +80% of base price [maximum 3 characters per commission!]

I may charge up to +25% of base price for more complex props/designs

all finished pieces will be at 350dpi, but I will choose the final canvas size unless otherwise requested.

your choice of render style: lined & coloured, painted, or somewhere in between! I am comfortable with all three options and pricing is unaffected; this is purely an aesthetic choice. If you aren't sure/have no preference, I will take liberty based on what I think would suit the piece best. This cannot be changed once I have reached the colouring stage, so choose wisely!

RENDER STYLE OPTION DETAILS I. lined & coloured: think traditional anime illustration-style pieces. Lineart can be smooth or scratchy at your request but is clearly visible within the piece regardless. ❖ examples: x x x x II. painting: blocky, textured shapes with visible brush stokes. Lineart is integrated into the piece to provide structure, but is not the main focus. ❖ examples: x x x x III. hybrid: what it says on the tin ! varies from piece to piece but features elements of both my lined and painted styles. No hard-set conventions, however lineart is typically used for detailed areas such as hair, whereas clothes and skin tend to look more painterly. ❖ examples: x x x x

[WILL‌ ‌DRAW]‌ ❖ OCs‌ ‌ ‌ ❖ fanart‌ *while not mandatory, in order to ensure best results I recommend your commission feature characters from a fandom that I have previously drawn content for or have otherwise expressed interest in. ❖ light‌-moderate ‌blood/gore‌ ❖ backgrounds *all finished pieces will include a simple background (ie. a solid colour or minimally-patterned backdrop for some visual flavour). Detailed backgrounds will be priced on a case-by-case basis depending on what you are looking for but will have a MINIMUM cost of $40

‌[WON’T‌ ‌DRAW]‌ ‌ ❖ NSFW‌ ‌(suggestive‌ ‌stuff‌ ‌is‌ ‌ok‌ ‌but‌ ‌nothing‌ ‌explicit.‌ ‌Ask‌ ‌me‌ ‌in‌ ‌your‌ ‌email‌ ‌if‌ ‌you’re‌ ‌not‌ ‌sure‌ ‌and‌ ‌we‌ ‌can‌ ‌work‌ ‌something‌ ‌out!)‌ ‌ ‌ ❖ [char] x self-insert ❖ furry*/mecha/bara‌ ‌*regular animals or simplistic‌ ‌animal‌ ‌appendages‌ ‌(ears/tails)‌ ‌are‌ ‌ok I am a catboy advocate‌ ‌❖ heavy‌ ‌blood/gore/violence‌ ‌ ❖ ships that weird me out ❖ real‌ ‌people‌ ‌*please‌ ‌also‌ ‌avoid‌ ‌using‌ ‌photos‌ ‌of‌ ‌real‌ ‌people‌ ‌as‌ ‌reference‌ ‌(ie.‌ ‌for‌ ‌an‌ ‌OC’s‌ ‌appearance)‌ if possible! ❖ complex‌ metal/mechanical props (cars, vehicles, armor/weaponry, etc.)

✧ link to ordering form and general terms of use ✧

Please DO NOT submit any commission requests through tumblr; I will not accept any commission requests sent here. Instead please follow the link and use the form and template provided! Do however feel free to message me if you have any general questions/need clarification! I'm grateful for the time you took to read through all this, as well as your ongoing support <3

revamp of my old creeper design from like... 10... years ago... minecraft old (notes under the cut)

[ID: two cartoony digital drawings of an interpretation of a Minecraft creeper, one fullbody and one headshot. it has a long neck, a short body that sits at an angle, due to its forelegs being longer than its hind legs, short floppy ears, a short duck-like tail, conjoined claws on its feet, and a deer-like nose that is joined to a prominent lip, making the iconic creeper frown shape. it is fluffy and green, with ticked markings suggesting a mottled coloration. its scleras are dark green, and its pupils/irises, nose and lip skin, and claws, are all green-tinted black. /end ID]

design notes!

i've always personally much preferred fluffy creepers over the more popular "irradiated flesh-melting humanoid mutant" interpretation. i know that a tweet doesn't exactly make something "canon" to the game, but i do like to think this fits with the "leaf-like texture" they were described as having. i do enjoy the "plant creature that explodes to spread pollen" theory, but even if you want to just interpret them as furry not actually leafy it makes sense from a camouflage standpoint. i used to give them pointier more upright ears (actually i usually made them back-pointing ears), but given that their model doesn't prominently display ears (like say, the wolf model does) i decided to allude to their "pig mistake" origins and give them triangular floppy ears like some pigs have. also, everyone always staunchly refused to give them ears despite only ONE mob at the time actually having modeled ears (that being wolves), so the idea of a creature having ears but not having them be individually modeled in the game was 100% plausible. nose and mouth! i am SO PROUD of this interpretation. i always found giving them a huge frown always looked a little goofy, so i tried to think of other ways to get that iconic shape, and i think joining the skin of a nose and a defined lip together really accomplishes this well. not to mention, it's actually closer to the pixelated shape, due to the nose sticking up higher than the lip. (that's just me being self-aggrandizing at this point tho. i don't think i've actually got the "better more correct" interpretation here or anything.) long neck / body plan - i NEVER understood why everyone always INSISTED on giving them humanoid torsos with no arms and four mutant legs when the option of having a LONG NECK was right there???? i mean if you're leaning into the rotated pig body thing it makes sense, but istg it was every. single. one. no matter how un-pig-like they were in every other respect. and besides it was usually a humanoid torso not a pig torso anyway. giving them slightly bent digitigrade legs i think also captures the "sticking out" look of their legs. again, i always preferred a more vertebrate look for creepers rather than the "alien walking around on spindles" look, but this was 100% done back in the day so i'm not as mad about it. also i'm proud of myself for the higher shoulders resulting in an angled body, because that lets me have the body a little longer without having to make something that would have absolutely 100% been modeled with another block for the body. tail is the same deal as ears - the only mob with a modeled tail (wolf) had an extremely prominent tail on its real counterpart, so the idea of the creature having a tail but not having it be modeled is 100% possible. actually snout too - i still don't give my creepers a very prominent snout/muzzle just to keep them recognizable, but long-faced/snouted animals like cows and (at the time) pigs were modeled with square heads, so a real creeper could 100% have a big ol' muzzle. i actually thought creepers had hooves for a long time before i realized the dark texture was only on the front of their legs, not all the way around. i could interpret this as them having longer fur that partially covers their hooves, but i like them with claws as well. they seem like they'd want grip. i did still give them partially joined claws to allude back to the hoof thing tho. but who knows? maybe i'll give them cloven pig-hooves in the future. nothing to say about coloration except that i obviously did a more simplified pattern to match my cartoony style rather than giving this drawing realistic mottling and brindling.

overall i guess my main deal with creepers is that i always wanted creepers to be animals (and specifically fairly large, terrestrial animals, that existed commonly within the world), rather than either insectoid cyborg aliens or cubes of melting flesh (that's one i didn't really touch on - many people were so unwilling to stray from making them cubic in their non-minecraft interpretations of creepers. i understand why for recognizability, but from a "actual creature vs minecraft model" standpoint, mobs just. aren't as square as they are in the game).

also disclaimer - i talk a lot about things that "everyone always did," and the keyword here is "did"- interpretations of creepers are more varied nowadays. it's been like 15 years! design tropes that were widespread through inescapable back in the day are no longer so.

could you review some of the neopets as animals outfits, like the fennec kacheek, red panda vandagyre, and cockatiel pteri? (those are examples, choose whichever you like!) thank you <3

(Note: I included a random selection of outfits in this post, but feel free to send in asks if anyone wants to see a specific outfit I didn't cover.)

I'll be honest, I'm personally not super big on the "outfit that resembles a real-world animal" trend. First, I play Neopets for the cool fantasy creatures; even the most true-to-life Neopets species have some pretty fantastical colors. I feel like making pets just look exactly like actual animals kind of defeats the purpose of them being Neopets. I get why people would like it and I'm not saying it's bad; it's just not my thing.

Also, the other reason I'm not always big on these outfits is that a lot of Neopets have colours that already resemble real animal patterns. Not only do the outfits blur the colour/customization line quite a bit, but usually I like the colour ones much more, as they keep the actual design of the Neopets in place and just change the patterns and colors, rather than covering up the fun fantasy elements. This also helps them avoid the uncanny valley effect, which I talk about more below.

Also I might be over thinking this but who is making these outfits. None of these animals seem to exist in-universe as far as we're aware. what are the shopkeepers basing these off of. the colours at least have a magic as an excuse

Examples that I think are okay:

Feathery Pteri Outfit: This one's nice! I like the layered patterning on the wings and the high-contrast colors. Most, though, I like that this sticks fairly close to the actual pet, mostly just changing up the tail shape. This almost could've been a paintbrush colour, but then again what colour is up in the air.

(Side note: the eye clipping over the beak is a rendering issue? I think?)

Bouncing Zafara: This one definitely strays farther from the actual pet than the Pteri, but it's a fitting animal choice and it doesn't fall into the uncanny valley, which is all I care about. The body is still somewhat recognizable as a Zafara in terms of shape, and the Miamouse as the joey is super cute.

Freshwater Lenny: Kind of the same case as the Zafara; not super one-to-one with the actual pet, but it's still recognizable as a Lenny and isn't too uncanny. The legs are a particularly nice touch, actually changing the pose to look more heron-like (though they are also the part that strays dangerously into being too detailed).

Please don't:

Adorable Kacheek: Sorry to the fans of this one, but this outfit just resides deep within the uncanny valley to me—like it's a mascot suit instead of just a normal pet. The artstyle is way off from Neopets, looking much more Subeta-ish (except Subeta's art usually isn't so off putting). It's not a bad artstyle, mind you, it's just not very Neopets-ish. I also feel like a fennec fox was also a bad pick for this one, as it's basically unrecognizable as a Kacheek at all.

Feathered Eyrie: Speaking of the uncanny valley, this is another pet that lands squarely there due to having entirely too much detail in the shading and weirdly realistic fur textures. It also just doesn't look very good aesthetically—the beak doesn't fit the face, and the wings are an absolute trainwreck (not only is the perspective wrong, but the left wing is coming from the middle of its back!). On the plus side, you'd be hard pressed to not recognize this as an Eyrie, and it's a fantasy creature instead of a regular animal, so I guess that's something?

Furry Meerca: Hmm... no. This one also suffers from an overly-detailed artstyle and way too much realism, which is especially jarring when placed on top of the Meerca's heavily stylized body shape, resulting in a perfectly round animal with hyper-realistic animal eyes. It's also particularly bothersome because we already had a chipmunk Meerca design in the form of the striped Meerca colour, which is just this but less soul-haunting:

Which is what I meant at the beginning when I was talking about colours vs outfits. The colour is a Meerca that looks like a chipmunk; the outfit is a chipmunk that looks like a Meerca. Big difference.

In boy and a butterfly what stands out the most for me is how beautifully Varo has displayed texture. The onesie that she has painted on the boy looks as if its a very soft, grinchy, maybe furry fleece texture and I feel like the same can be said for the butterfly but probably a bit softer than the clothes. While the surrounding buildings and walls just plain looks like it would feel like wood but idk if this is a result of the cross hatching in this space or is it because of the masonite canvas she painted on. Finally the shoebox paper or whatever it is scattered around our figure is just that… paper; where it came from idk but the transparency just shows how skillful Remedios Varo was as a painter.

P.S.- Please throw yo trash in the trash and recycle when you can.

Varo, Remedios. Niño y mariposa. 1961. Oil on masonite, 54 x 30.8 cm. Private collection.

Your blog is exceptionnal! I am curious what prompts you use to get this result.

Here is one set of prompts as a starting point. "scene from a Hallmark Christmas movie, two beautiful female Japanese Yakuza, downtown city park, fur coats piled on wooden carts, long dark hair, shy smiles, facing each other, wearing massive oversized fluffy fuzzy furry Finnish raccoon fur coats with massive drooping fur sleeves, mouth open, hand around the back of her neck, massive furry ushanka hats, hugging, fur has a texture like blurry very hazy soft wonderful angora fur, night, tree lighting ceremony, snowing"

Self-Taught Artist Captures Every Tiny Hair and Feather in Hyperrealistic Animal Paintings

by Emma Taggart - My Modern Met, August 21, 2024

Artist Carla Grace Ollwitz crafts stunning paintings that showcase the beauty of animals in breathtaking detail. Born in South Africa and having lived on multiple continents during her childhood, her experiences resulted in a deep love for nature that shines through in her work.

“I spent many years in different parts of Africa as a child and youth,” Ollwitz tells My Modern Met. “Being so exposed to wildlife had a huge impact on my decision to focus on wildlife as my core brand.”

From vibrant tropical birds to majestic mammals like lions and bears, each fascinating animal is captured with impressive detail. Bird portraits feature textured plumage brought to life through thousands of meticulously applied brushstrokes, while the furry manes of lions are rendered in rich layers of oil or acrylic.

Impressively, Ollwitz is entirely self-taught. After dropping out of university, she set up her own business and began teaching herself how to paint. Her daily commitment to refining her craft is evident in her work, and she even generously shares painting tips with her followers on social media.

Ollwitz aims to inspire her viewers to connect with nature through her art. “I believe that the majority of humans are drawn to wildlife. An individual's affinity to help creatures that cannot help themselves tends to reveal the truth about a human's character,” she says. “My work has become focused on creating an experience between the viewer and the subject that feels tangible.”

Check out some of the anrtist’s incredible wildlife paintings below, and be sure to follow Ollwitz on Instagram for more artwork and painting tips.

Rabbid biology

[My headcanons for Rabbids' biology. Since this is more of a "scientific" take on them, I'll be using male/female/intersex to refer to biological sex. Slight NSFW warning for the reproduction part]

Part 2 is here

General

Rabbids are sentient odd rabbit-looking mammals. They are not rabbits nor true lagomorphs, but a sister group on their own and share traits of both lagomorphs and rodents. Rabbids are a very diverse group, but their general body shape is that of a bipedal furry creature with long ears.

Rabbids have very unstable genetics. As such they are often used as lab rats and guinea pigs (with or without their consent). Mutation processes can vary from laboratory-made to magic.

Appearence

Rabbid's fur is usually white with it being sparser around the nose, mouth and belly where the pink skin is visible. While white is the most common color, their fur can come in browns, greys, blacks and can have some light patterning as well. Unnatural colors are a result of genetic manipulation or simply dye. Their fur can be straight (common), wavy(uncommon) or rex/curly (rare) and can be divided in these categories based on their lenght:

Short: the most common one, the fur can be any texture and short, medium-short.

Lionhead: common, the fur can be any texture, it's medium-long only on the head and sometimes ears too while on the rest of the body is short.

Angora: very rare, the fur is straight or wavy and very long, usually hiding the Rabbid's body shape.

Lionhead and Angora Rabbids are able to style their head fur as hair. Dying it it's very common too. Standard fur Rabbids can have some "hair" fur as well, but only as short tufts, for this they are commonly seen wearing wigs. Facial hair can be seen in males and intersex of all fur types (being shorter in Short fur Rabbids) while Lionhead and Angora females can get a beard.

Rabbids come in all shapes and sizes, but they can be classified in these general groups (height measurements counting the ears too):

Standard: the most common shape. They have a small body relative to their head. This size does not surpass 1.50m of height.

Brute: this group of Rabbids are stocky built, with long arms and very short legs. They are usually very strong and can easily reach and surpass 3m in height. (ex. Rabbid Kong, Sweetlopek, Momma)

Dwarf: the rarest Rabbid shape. They're not very different from standard sized Rabbids, but they are very short, less than 1m in height, and usually they have baby like appearences. (ex. Bwario, Professor Backpack, Dryad)

Mutated: as Rabbids are very common lab rats there are a lot of them that have been genetically manipulated. They can have virtually any shape one can imagine, so in this group fall all the Rabbids that cannot fit in any of the previous. (ex Phantom, Madame Bwahstrella, the Sparks).

Rabbid eyes' natural color is usually blue ranging from deep blue to almost green, mutated ones can have more variations in colors.

Biology

Rabbids are a very social species, they usually search for eachother when alone and form very strong bonds. They are also very adaptable and nowadays colonize multiple planets, everyone with their own cultures.

Rabbids can be biologically male, female or intersex. The three genders are more or less equally distributed. There's very little sexual dimorphism: females and intersex's fur is usually softer. As such, depending on the individual, Rabbids express their gender with behaviours, clothes and accessories.

Rabbids are natural burrowers, they can dig a hole to fit in in less than ten seconds. To do this they have large palms on their hands and small black semi-retractable claws on each of their fingers (on their feet too). They're usually hidden behind the fur, but they can be easily be seen if the fur is brushed away or they can be made come out by pressing the Rabbid's fingertip, much like a cat's. These claws are also used for defense and while they're not so sharp, on a very angry Rabbid can cause it's fair share of damage.

Rabbids are very durable creatures. They can endure a lot of physical damage and still be unscatched. To do this they have a very odd skeletal system: some of their bones are able to bend and their skeleton is very flexible like a mouse's. This means a Rabbid can both reduce the damage on the bones and squeeze in very narrow spaces with no repercussions. With such a skeleton, they are also very flexible with even the most bulky ones being able to contort themselves.

Rabbids are omnivorous and will try to eat anything they find appetible even non-food items. For this they have very strong incisors and a remarkable bite force. They have pouches in their cheeks used to store and transport food. These pouches can also be filled with air to appear more threatening when the Rabbid is angry.

Reproduction

Rabbids aren't strictly monogamous, but they prefer sticking to one partner. They don't have mating seasons: females and intersex Rabbids experience heats lasting about a week once or twice at any time of the year and are fertile only in that periods. Intersex Rabbids can both impregnate and get pregnant. All sexes' reproductive organs are hidden inside a slit for protection with only the males' penis coming out for the mating (the testicles are internal).

They build a nest where the pregnant Rabbid will give birth. Both of the parents help with the nesting, with the birthing parent shedding the fur on their belly and the other providing soft building materials.

Rabbids can have up to six kits. Litters of single kits are less common and are usually seen in individuals on their first pregnancy. With so many kits, Rabbids have six teats in total: two on the chest and four on the belly. They are always hidden under the fur and are only visible on pregnant or nursing Rabbids. Only the two on the chest are considered femminine as they may form small breasts (more commonly seen in females and never in males).

Rabbid kits are very small in relation to their parents and they're born with very sparse fur and both eyes and ears closed, opening them only a week after birth. They tend to huddle together or on their parents to stay warm, but in litters with fewer or single kits the parents need to constantly keep them safe from the cold. Both parents take care of the kits, often taking turns as they start being active quite quick and wander out of the nest just as their limbs are strong enough. Rabbid kits make very distinct squeaky noises, but they can also scream when startled or agitated. Among all Rabbid cultures the kits' first "bwah" is always celebrated.

Behaviour

Rabbids talk in Rabbidese, an odd language composed of yells, grunts and "bwaah"s. After the events of Kingdom Battle, Beep-0 and Spawny came up with a translator, but it's unknow how it works as Beep-0 regretted creating it so much he deleted it's creation process from his memory. After this creation, Rabbids have shown to be able to pick on accents. They can make various other sounds as well: a content Rabbid can be heard purring, when very happy or playing they can make odd honking sounds and they can make brief hissing sounds when enraged. Rabbids express their emotions through body language too: they flop by throwing themselves on the floor when particularly relaxed and stomp their feet when angry or irritated.

Among Rabbids, clothes are mainly used to express the individual's style and/or gender. Nakedness is not considered obscene as a lot of them are fine walking around with little or no clothes. However, it usually depends on which Rabbid culture we're taking in consideration, as some of them are more prone to wear clothes than others. Also the environment they're in affect them wearing clothes or not as in colder climates all Rabbids will wear them, while in hotter places they may not do so.

Rabbids are known to be very curious and often they put themselves in danger due to their desire to explore. Nowadays they colonize multiple planets, everyone with their own means of transportation to get there. Their adaptableness and resistance allowed them to thrive in almost any enviroment.

Rabbids' intelligence varies a lot. It usually depends on the individual, but in general they don't seem very bright at first glance: they seem to behave in an almost childish way. However, this behaviour is jst a result of their curiousness. In fact they love problem solving, even if they often don't end up with the easiest or most logical solution. They have shown to be very productive building houses, tools, weapons and engaging in arts of every kind.

Note: I hope you’re doing really well! I know you fulfilled two requests for me, and I’m sorry for sending in another one, I just had a really good idea come to mind!

Fandom: Bill & Ted

Reader: Gender Neutral & Neurodivergent

Pairing: Bill S. Preston x Reader (Romantic) Ted Logan x Reader (Platonic)

Idea: Bill, Ted, and Y/N are getting together for a sensory safe Halloween. Bill and Y/N are a couples costume of Han Solo and Leia with Ted dressed up as Chewbacca. They are having a chill time, watching fun Halloween films, eating sensory safe candy, with nothing but candles and Fairy Lights to light the room.

then maybe evil Bill and Ted come and disrupt the fun and really put a fright on y/n (or something like that)

you don’t have to fulfill this anytime soon, you can save it until close to Halloween, I just thought it would be fun

Warnings: Mild descriptions of overwhelming noise/lights

Words: 2K

Notes: The way I started this two days before Halloween and only just managed to get it done today... We shan't speak of it 🫡 Just to brighten your evening - I finished this whilst dressed as Columbia from Rocky Horror

not my gif

"Dude, are you sure this costume is okay?" Ted asks his best friend, carding his hand through the coarse fur of his costume. He looked a little strange - an almost perfect recreation of Chewbacca, only to cut off just above the shoulders, with Chewbacca's furry face replaced instead by the very ordinary looking head of Ted Logan. "Like... Do you think the fur is the right texture?" "Huh?" Bill replied, turning slightly as he made another attempt to put his fake blaster in it's holster; every time he had tried thus far had resulted in the whole belt starting to fall down. "Dude, I've told you a million times, it's fine!" Bill exclaimed, "It looks good, and it's an alright texture..." He trailed off a little bit, his focus moving again to his belt and blaster. "You okay there, dude?" "Yeah, just... Struggling with this belt, man. Can't get it to stay up..." He mumbles in response. "Did you tuck it in to the loops?" Ted asks, trying to peer over his friend's shoulder in the mirror. "Y'know, like I showed you with mine?" "Oh, shoot, no... Thanks man!" Bill exclaimed, quickly rectifying his mistake. How he had overlooked his best friend's advice he had no idea, but thankfully it was easy enough for him to fix.

"You excited?" Bill asks, as Ted prepares to put the Chewbacca mask over his face, after what had seemed like an eternity fussing and faffing about with the rest of his costume. "Oh, yeah!" Ted's reply is incredibly enthusiastic, but then again, could you really expect anything less from him? He gets to watch movies and binge on sweets with his two favourite people, who wouldn't be as enthusiastic as him? "You know, Ted..." Bill starts, turning to fully face his best friend as he spoke. "I don't think you'll be able to see anything during the movie with that head on.." "I know, but I at least want to wear it for a little while! I saved up for ages for this, man... I want to get some use out of it before it goes back on my shelf..." "Oh, no sure, dude, I just don't want you missing out on the movie is all..." Bill chuckled gently, he knew how much Ted had been looking forward to dressing as Chewbacca.

It had been your idea, originally. A couples costume for yourself and Bill, with something for Ted so that he was included too - though Star Wars hadn't been the initial plan. At first, you had had no idea what you were all going to go as - you only had the concept of the three of you in mind. It was after a few hours of shared silent deliberation, that Bill had suggested Star Wars: and how fitting that was, when you thought about it! Leia, and Han - the couple, for you and Bill to pose as - and then, Chewbacca for Ted, the perfect companion, and it all tied in ever so nicely.

"Right, how do I look?" You asked the pair, making them both jump as you push the garage door open. Bill turns to look at you first, and his jaw practically drops. It's amazing how such a simple costume can make him become so much more smitten with you - he's speechless for a moment, until a quiet 'woah' from Ted breaks him from his thoughts. "Babe, that is perfect-" He rushes to your side, carefully running his hands over the fabric, amazed at how soft it is - if only that material could be used for some of his normal clothes, that would be paradise. "You think so?" "Yeah - you look fantastic!" Bill grins up at you as he speaks, his fingers still grasping at the fabric that made up your costume. "Where did you get this?" He asks, "This doesn't feel anything like any costume I've found recently..." "Oh, I made it..." You chuckle quietly, a blush creeping onto your cheeks. "Made it? But-" Ted started, about to point out how many times you'd had to have rewind a tape, or gone to reruns of the movies to be able to plan out something like a dress pattern for it. "Yeah, I know," You cute him off, "I think I ended up watching it like... twenty times?" You shrug, "It was actually a lot simpler than I thought it was going to be... And nice Chewbacca, Ted, but... Not sure if that's the right face for him, is it?" You tease, and Ted can't help but laugh as he takes a few steps away, going to retrieve the rest of his costume.

"Okay, right... you two are ready, right?" Ted called from behind the camera, as you and Bill fussed over each other - his loose waistcoat, your wig, his belt again, your hood which... Never seemed to fall quite how you wanted it to. "Uh - yeah, alright-" Bill fusses over you for a moment longer, but eventually steps away, as Ted rushes over, having put a little timer on the camera. The three of you bustle about for a moment, getting into a position that's good for everyone; Bill has an arm round your waist, your arm is around his shoulder, pulling him in close, whilst Ted stands behind you both, holding his hands up a little bit as if he's roaring. The flash goes off, and you all wait an extra second or so before Ted goes to dismantle the camera. "When we get that developed, I'm so having that up on my wall..." Bill tells you, with a giddy little smile. You push his shoulder playfully, "As if I won't be the one to keep it..." You joke, shaking your head at him. "Hey, Bill?" Ted calls, arms spread as far as they can reach as he tries to set up a sheet for the projector, not wanting to disturb the moment between the two of you, but not having much of a choice if you all wanted to get the movie going soon. "A little help?" With a quiet 'oh, sure' Bill dashed to the other man's aid, leaving you to happily gather all the pillows and blankets you could find scattered around the house, along with - of course - a few snacks and drinks for you all.

"Okay, you two ready?" You ask, finishing setting up the projector. Ted had just put his Chewbacca head out of the way and was settling himself down on some of the pillows, arranged in a little nest for himself. "Yeah!" They respond in unison. As you go to snuggle with Bill, he mumbles quietly to you, "I can't believe my dad is letting us watch this..." You're not sure of Bill's tone here, but you nod slowly anyway. "Neither can I... Never seen this before..." You reply, and Bill nods back at you - neither has he. As the opening begins, and the three of you start to munch on your assorted snacks, the power goes down. It's completely unexpected, and plunges you all into near complete darkness. The projector has clicked off, the fairy lights flickered out, and your only source of light is the glow of the street lamp outside. "Huh-?" Is Ted's reaction, whilst Bill remains silent, but clings more to you. You cling to him in return, using his presence to try and ground yourself from the scare. "I'm gonna go check the fuse box in the house - you guys stay here.." Ted told you both; it may have been Bill's house, but Ted knew it just as well as the blonde did. Bill warily starts to get up as well; "I'm just going to check the fusebox in the corner, okay babe?" He says quietly to you - and his voice is gently, but not explicitly, trying to tell you that you could say no to this, if it made you feel less anxious. You nod slowly, loosening your grip on him to let him go to the corner of the garage. You could still feel your heart pounding in your chest, but you run your hands over the fabric of your costume to try and calm yourself as Bill heads into the darkness, round the corner to check on the fuse box. He's there for a few minutes, before some movement and a tap at the nearby window catch your attention.

There's two figures standing there, whose silhouettes you... Almost recognise. You get up, moving towards the window. The closer you get, the more you think you can make out about them: it's Bill, and Ted, but there's something not quite right about them - besides, of course, the fact that they had both suddenly ended up outside. Neither of them had their costumes on, but instead,Bill had donned a baseball cap, and Ted's hair was styled in a middle-part, rather than how they normally presented themselves. It was still them, for sure, but... Something about them just didn't sit right with you. As you draw closer, Bill lurches at the window, making you stumble back as he pushes the window open - and Ted tosses something inside, before the pair dash off. There's a moment of silence, before whatever it was Ted had dropped through the window burst into a flurry of crackles and sparks. It assaults your eyes in the darkness, and you cry out, hands instantly moving to cover your face as you stumble back a little bit more. You trip this time, falling flat on your backside with another cry. Footsteps rush towards you from behind, and you feel hands on your upper arms, making you jump in surprise and flail your arms in an almost last-ditch attempt to defend yourself, should this be the off-Bill and Ted.

"Hey, hey-" It's Bill's voice, and he's hurriedly trying to calm you. "What happened?" He asks you, noticing a few dying embers of the firecrackers that had been put in his garage. You just point towards the window, mumbling something that he can't quite understand. Hell, you're not even sure if you can understand it entirely. Bill notices the window, now hanging open, and rushes to close it again, lest any other pranksters try and test the boundaries of your resilience. "It's okay-" He tells you, sitting on the floor beside you, and pulling you into his arms. He knows - better than anyone - that just having someone there can help ground you again, and if it had to be anyone, the best choice was always him. "You're okay..." He whispers to you, "I'll keep you safe, don't worry..." His hand is gentle as it strokes your hair, soothing you back down from your panic. The lights soon flicker on around you, and perhaps a minute or so after this, Ted is back in the room with you both. He's about to say something - probably a joke - but stops himself before he even speaks, when he sees the state you're in. His eyes flit to Bill; 'What happened here?' is the silent question. Bill just shrugs in response, he has absolutely no idea. He doesn't want to ask just yet, either - it's too soon, and he wants you to be able to calm down and recover a little bit before probing the subject. "So, uh... Movie?" Ted probes, and you wearily shake your head. "No... I think I'd much rather just... Hang out with you guys and pig out on candy..." "Dude, that's cool with me-" Ted says, nodding, before gathering all the sweets together in the centre of the room. Bill helps you over, and you all sit in a little circle, passing each other your favourite sweets to try, and laugh at each other's faces if they didn't like them. You stayed in that tight little circle of yours all night - until you all fell asleep in the early hours of the morning. Needless to say, despite things not going to plan, and the bad fright you had suffered, it was a very good Halloween with your boyfriend, and his best friend, and you looked forward to doing it all again, come next year.

do you have any suggestions for making second life characters n models?

OKAY! So basically in terms of pricing it is much cheaper and more accessible to be a furry than a human in second life, usually with people you gotta hunt a bit more but I’ll list you some basics that I think are a good start. Here's a couple things I have off the top of my head, there is a TON of stuff out there on second life but here's the ones I use!

THIS WILL BE LONG SORRY. I REALLY LOVE RAMBLING ABOUT STORES YOU CAN USE IN SECOND LIFE I broke the links by spacing after the colon so if you want to copy and paste it just delete it! You know how tumblr gets with a lot of links LOL

FURRY STUFF:

If you want to be a pony, the Open Pony avatar is free and extremely customizable. You’ll start with only two basic mane and tail items and will probably have to spend some money if you want more stuff, which typically for the pony ranges from 200-600ish lindens depending on where you shop. This is about 3usd, but you can also customize the hair by selecting individual faces in the editor to get the colors and textures you desire.

MAJOR DOWNSIDE TO BEING A PONY THOUGH IS THAT THIS AVATAR WAS MADE BY *THOSE* KINDS OF BRONIES. THERE IS REALLY GROSS STUFF ON THE SECOND LIFE MARKETPLACE FOR THE PONY AVATAR :( USUALLY YOU CAN FILTER ADULT CONTENT BUT SECOND LIFE SEARCH ISN’T ALWAYS SO SEAMLESS. It is extremely unfortunate that this is like, the only up to date my little pony avatar we currently have on the marketplace but we make do, there are a lot of normal horse people out there it just is heinous if you go to my little pony sims.

https: //marketplace.secondlife.com/p/OP-OPEN-PONY-Basic-Pony-Avatar/22771877

Some of the free manes/tails/outfits/etc. I know currently exist are here:

https: //marketplace.secondlife.com/p/OpenPony-Shadowbolt-Suit/22790327

https: //marketplace.secondlife.com/p/HMART-Summer-Dress/23599366

https: //marketplace.secondlife.com/p/NX-Short-Bob-Mane-Add-Me/23761577

https: //marketplace.secondlife.com/p/OP-mesh-brows/24547847

https: //marketplace.secondlife.com/p/OP-I-LOVE-MOM-TATTOO/23808113

https: //marketplace.secondlife.com/p/HMART-Izzy-Mane-Tail/22786915

https: //marketplace.secondlife.com/p/OP-rainbowshine-kit/24806876

https: //marketplace.secondlife.com/p/NX-Rainbow-Bright-Mane-Add-Me/23671728

https: //marketplace.secondlife.com/p/OP-mail-set/24794285

For FURRY furries, like if you want to be an anthro animal, there is a lot of body mods out there for standard human avatar bodies (which I’ll get to in a moment) but for the most bang for your buck, I would recommend the SugarCult Regalia body. It is the easiest to customize if you ever look to wanting to make your own custom skin textures and is also modded a ton in the community so there is a load of content at the ready for it, the body link is here:

https: //marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Sugarcult-Project-Regalia/18217485

This one costs money, but it is pretty good for the price deal, you’ll get multiple body shapes that you can customize and tweak to your liking. When/if you want to shop for custom textures, make sure you look for ones that say are BOMR or BOMR compatible for the best results!

Really good beginner furry heads that have great animation quality and accessible prices are the Happy Paw heads! The link to the Happy Paw store is here:

https: //marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/175788 These heads often have a ton of textures made for them, and you also get a developer’s kit with the purchase of them! I use these heads a lot.

Another good store is Anima, though it recently disbanded. Their products are still available on the marketplace and are good if you want a less toony and more oddball looking furry, the prices are a bit higher but they are also pretty easy to custom make textures for too! And like Happy Paw, a lot of mods are available on the marketplace for them!

https: //marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/244580 Here’s the store link for Anima!

HUMAN/HUMAN ADJACENT STUFF:

You can still use the Regalia bodies for people, but Regalia tends to be more specialized by the community in furry texturing, so finding human skins will be harder if you don’t make your own. There are a LOT of human bodies to choose from, and usually I say the best thing to go with are the ones with a ton of mods for on the marketplace so it is easiest to shop. The ones I use are Belleza Jake and eBody Reborn.

Belleza Jake usually goes on sale pretty regularly while eBody is kind of a fancier body model and costs more LOL it is so pricey to be an up to date human model in second life. Ugh okay I’m like writing this whilst looking at the second life marketplace right now and for whatever reason I literally cannot find the belleza jake bodies. -_- I’ll keep you posted if I can find a link to it because that’s annoying idk why SL does this sometimes.

The body I use aside from jake is the eBody Reborn, and the downside to that is they only allow like, known store owners to get the texture kits from the eBody Reborn if you want to make it, for that you’ll just have to go to the eBody inworld store to get it LMAO it’s pretty pricey though, I got it because it is kind of on sale right now but it’s still probably about ~10usd. There is literally so many mods for it on the marketplace though. I use it because literally everyone and their dog has stuff on sale that’ll usually fit the ebody and it’s perfect if you want to have a billion fun outfits.

ANOTHER downside to the ebody is that the ass is so big, you have to find a good deformer that’ll fit it if you want to make a smaller body that doesn’t have a huge ass. Second Life creators are usually all insanely horny!

HEADS I KNOW OF AND/OR USE:

https: //marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/101160 Raven Bell is what I use for my people avatars, and here is the whole store since it also sells hair that usually is pretty good too! The heads are about 2,000L and more expensive than the furry body entirely though… but! I have wound up using it a ton to make other avatars. There’s an older model of head they have that they no longer support though since it’s old that still has more mods than their more recent stuff from other developers, hilariously enough. If you don’t care for all the fancy new animations you can go to their inworld store and get the old head.

https: //marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/210372 This store has two free anime styled heads that are better than most the anime heads you’ll run into on the marketplace purely because it’s free to use and there’s a texture and developer kit that comes with it. I think it was ripped directly from that pixiv free to use avatar? It’ll say it’s one linden on the marketplace but if you go to their inworld store you can get it free of charge.

Some hair stores that are typically unrigged and can fit most heads with minimal editing (just stretch/rotate/reposition to fit):

https: //marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/167897 This one has some genshin impact hairstyles LOL

https: //marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/68045 this one by far has a TON of random hairs that I use.

Overall, with human avatars it’s much more vast and hinges on what you’re looking to make. Let me know if you or anyone else has any further questions! I usually know a few stores off the bat that can fit specific looks people are going for haha

Twenty Years

I don't have an exact date, as that's not how such things work, but right now is a pretty good estimate for twenty years since I became a furry, and accordingly how long Fzzr has been my fursona. The story isn't quite straightforward. I was in high school at the time, and in Biology we had received an assignment to create a hypothetical species and describe its habitat, evolution and so on. I forget if it was required or extra credit, but for whatever reason I spent the time to create an image in Microsoft Paint.

I started with a few ovals for body parts, filled in pixels so it was joined up, and then realized I hadn't left myself enough space for detail. so I doubled the size of the canvas in both axes, turning each one pixel into four, smoothed out the edges, realized I still didn't like how little detail I was able to apply, so I blew up up that much again and added more smoothing and small details. The result? A humanoid being with features of a tiger and black stripes on green fur. During the course of the pattern adding I decided not to make the stripes symmetrical, I think because being made in MS Paint with very basic techniques already made it look stiff so the bit of texture helped. I was very proud of putting two large stripes on the left cheek and one on the right.

When it came time to name this individual, I tried to come up with how a feline mouth adapted for more complex speech would sound, and decided it would depend less on vocal cords and thus not need vowels all the time. So I combined three sounds I figured would be available: A breath through teeth and lips, a buzz of teeth, and a growl from the throat. Fzzr.

Around this time I learned about furry culture and found myself relating to it very much, and it was very natural for me to snap into relating to Fzzr as myself. I soon started using it in many different contexts, most commonly screen names but also video game character names and so on. I got into (E)RP and met my first girlfriend and though she trilled the 'r' instead of growling it (something I refer to as the catgirl accent, because that happens so often) it was very special to be addressed like that.

Earlier this year on tumblr I ran across @kolaepup's auction for the design I would later name "Vala" (a name previously from my character from a long running tabletop campaign). Scrolling past it hit me like a brick because though the color and gender were wrong, the stripes were so close to Fzzr that it was uncanny. So I bought that, and commissioned the Fzzr counterpart sheet. Lots of the details of the Fzzr you all know, particularly the calico pattern and the multicolored hair, come from the coincidence of the Vala design catching my eye, but I don't find that to be a problem. Fzzr has one stripe on his right cheek, and two on his left. And I'm pretty proud of that.

Got any av headcanons?

Yes! I have quite a few actually! I'm going to put this under the cut because its incredibly long :3

General spoiler warning for anyone who hasn't played axiom verge, you have been warned

Trace

Usually a pretty quiet guy, considers himself a people watcher

Spends his time taking in his surroundings in Sudra

Needs something in his hand at all times or else he defaults to t-rex arms

Wore glasses before he ended up in Sudra (and before he went blind), the cloning repaired his eyesight

The Bioflux Accelerator gave his eyes a slight reddish hue

Speaking of, he has a love hate relationship with those tentacles mostly because he can't conciously control them

Hates the texture of stubble so he keeps his sideburns

Chronic toe walker

Closeted ace, but biromantic

Friendly neighborhood he/they

Hates those stupid Mogra, especially when the small ones drop down from the sky

His favorite (prehistoric) animal is the anomalocaris!

Would have been a furry if it wasn't for his scientific breakthroughs, his fursona would be a red dragon (because of course it is)

Grew up with Nintendo, he likes the cult classics like Metroid and Earthbound (maybe I'm projecting a little with that)

Addicted to caffiene and it took him a while to aclimate to living without it

Skeptical of the Rusalki, but he has no other choice! What's he gonna do, disobey them and die? No thanks

Doesn't like being in Eribu, it smells funny and everything is squishy and humid... It's just gross

His favorite area is Edin, the sky is very pretty and its nice to sit down there to take a break, feel the wind

Athetos

He also isn't the original Trace, but he doesn't tell anyone (the original Trace got infected and needed to be taken care of)

Is the first clone of Trace though if that means anything to you

Essentially lives in a glorified iron lung

Breathes purified air and is suspended in a sterile fluid that renders The Pathogen inert

If he ever left it would cause him to rapidly mutate

Probably has a mech floating around somewhere that is a work in progress

The tubes connected to him also allow him to control parts of machinery and perform menial tasks to keep Mar-Uru maintained

He's incredibly bored but knows he has to wait so he has his own stalker drone

The stalker drone keeps in contact with the other bosses of Sudra, except Ukhu since he has no knowledge of her

The drone is not capable of battle and burrows when threatened

Yes there's been plenty of stalker drone deaths, rest in peace little guys

He is very aware of his fate, he only watches Trace because he knows about how he respawns

A piece of Athetos is embedded in Trace after the final fight, as his nanogates entertwined with Trace's, which is also why Elsenova put him to sleep

Vision

Vision is a result of an oddity in The Pathogen, mid-transformation he was struck down

He is a separate entity from Trace and Athetos altogether, all memories from Trace feeling like nothing but a distant past

Fate does not apply to him in the same way it applies to Trace, making him not considered an immediate threat by the Rusalki

Once defeated in his original boss form, he emerges from the husk of its body

The Pathogen causes him to have episodes where it fully takes over and causes him to become incredibly violent, its most evident when his eyes turn all white

Allegedly, he doesn't recall these episodes either

He sees the Rusalki as almost cyborg-ish creatures with features akin to ancient demons and oni, with horns and curved tusks and fangs

The other bosses of Sudra appear as other people, with their own distinct personalities and on occasion he sits with them

Ukhu is his best pal, who still looks like a vicious insect but is like a very caring and oversized pet to him

The Spitblite (Ukhu's spawn) have a general affinity for him, he's often found carrying one like a little emotional support bug

Athetos appears as an angel and Mar-Uru is like a tower to the heavens (not that Trace was particularly religious)

Vision hates Kur with a passion and avoids the mountainous exterior at all costs

Can freely travel through Breach without needing to disrupt it, and is entirely immune to the breach disruptor

The Pathogen

When afflicted it starts subtly changing aspects of memories and vision

"These things always were" as in, this person always looked this way, they were never to be trusted

Though it doesn't affect the demeanor or personality, it affects how the afflicted percieve the world and their language center, essentially making them see everyone else as the enemy

The physical mutations it causes vary wildly based on location and demeanor, some retaining more of their language center than others

Vision is a prime example as their language center appears almost wholly unaffected, but may have violent outbursts under certain triggers, suggesting The Pathogen can cause affects similar to epilepsy (it is not epilepsy by any means)

Arthropods are completely unaffected by The Pathogen, the bugs of Sudra are just territorial by nature

Sudra

It isn't actually snowing in Kur, the white material floating around is ash from nearby mountains as the internals of Kur seem to flow with ultraheated liquids

Kur is still relatively cold, and most arthropodic lifeforms tend to avoid Kur as it too cold for them to live there

Zi used to be underwater, but it naturally drained over time, the inhabitants are evolved forms of sea life that eventually spread to other areas of Sudra

Edin experiences different seasons yet it always seems to be night there, reasons unclear

The moonlight of Edin does seem to encourage plant life to grow, almost as if the sun and ash nearer to Kur is hard for plants to inhabit

The only reason Indi exists is to connect E-Kur-Mah with Absu, E-Kur-Mah is where royalty used to live

Absu is where most people used to live, and was at one point a nice place to be as well

Eribu is generally desolate and uninhabited by anything other than bugs because of its strange, living walls, great place for a secret hideout!

Eribu is thought to be the flesh of a once giant creature that still lives dormant underground

Ukkin-Na was built, and at one point was a part of Edin beforehand, probably similar in age to Edin's ruins

The original purpose of Ukkin-Na has been lost to time, as it is the oldest man-made area of Sudra

Mar-Uru is the most recent edition to the map thanks to Athetos, given the state of people give a round of applause to the robots that built this

Ukhu

Athetos has no knowledge of Ukhu's existence, and Ukhu has no ties to The Pathogen

Territorial, not usually to the point of attacking unless it is mating season and she percieves you as a threat

Threats include things that are human-sized and human-shaped

She has a weak understanding of language and intelligence comparable to a house cat or jumping spider, though not particularly curious of anything humans do

Just generally does not like humans anymore

Her nest is atop the ruins in Edin, and her boss room location she considers home

She was once considered a god-like being in ancient times and has always lived happily in Edin (she an old bug)

There's everything I have right now! Enjoy!

#axiom verge #trace av #athetos av #vision av #ukhu av #headcanons #i dont have headcanons for the rusalki mostly because i dont like elsenova sorry not sorry

i’ve gotten into sewing lately, and i’ve specifically been sewing plushies and as a result, my tiktok algorithm started showing me sewing tiktoks and eventually some of those were fursuit sewing tiktoks and honestly furries are so deeply entertaining. it’s like baby sensory videos to me idk. the colors and textures are sooo mesmerizing. not to mention drama in the furry community is soooo fucking insane????? i fucking love drama that has absolutely nothing to do with me it’s the best

#it’s actually kind of miraculous that i’m not a furry considering i was such a fucking warrior cats deviantart kid #but i will be honest that while i respect the furry community #some fursuits are kind of fucking scary #but i thibk what i’ve found out is it’s very mostly like 90s and early 2000s furries that are so unsettling to me #like i never thought about how furries have trends that come and go???#but they do and older styles of furries are. haunting to me #but yeah fursuit makers use a lot of similar fabrics and techniques as plushie makers and it’s actually v useful sometimes lmao

MJ Describe Vs Clip-Interrogator 2.1

Describe and Clip Interrogator are both AIs that examine pictures and break them down into image prompts. The two approach the task from different intents, however, and using them is the best way to demonstrate. We'll start with "Natural Beauty", a style transfer piece I made a bit over a year ago.

To be extra-studious, I'll use the same seed on all of them, all gens made in Midjourney V5.

Clip Interrogator:

Prompt: a large tiger standing on top of a lush green field, inspired by Augustin Meinrad Bächtiger, deviantart contest winner, sumatraism, colorful intricate masterpiece, in a style blend of botticelli, highly detailed generative art, stained glass art, vibrant cartoon art, mountain, walk, 7 0 mm. digital art, much detail, devainart

Lengthy, detailed, prompt, with results that are kinda in the vibe. A few almost seem like they're made of fruit and plants like the original.

Midjourney Describe:

Describe gives four prompts per "ask" and re-rolls them (while Clip Interrogator seems to use a single seed).

Prompt: tiger is walking around through a forest in a colorful drawing, in the style of intricate textures, vibrant cartoonish --ar 3:2

Prompt: a tiger with colorful balloons and flowers in its body, in the style of intricate psychedelic landscapes, organic texture, flickr, abstracted nature, furry art, colorful comic strips, intricate landscapes --ar 3:2

From the results, you can see the difference. Clip Interrogator is, arguably, closest in style and tone to the original. Midjourney's results have more "chaos" in them, and are clearly intended to be more for iterating new semi-related variants of a concept rather than imitating directly, which keeps with the specific design of a lot of MJ's features.

The images autogenerated for this post are in the public domain, as they do not meet the threshold for minimum human expression. I've put them all in their own post here.
