On a list of most likely to be part dragon to least likely to be part dragon, where would you put each link in the chain?

Well I'm probably biased BUT

Warriors is at the top, since he interacts very regularly with a dragon(knight) and I really do just think they look similar. they do. They also act somewhat as narrative foils (both are prideful, Volga continues down the path, Link turns back due to his friends, blah blah) so I just. yeah. I'm convinced Volga is legitimately his dad.

Sky is probably right around there with him, just because he interacts with his dragons the most extensively, and they all seem pretty fond of him (...in their own ways lol. lookin at you Faron). I'd make him related to the thunder dragon personally, though that would probably lead to some very strange paradoxes in regards to how Sky exists lol

Wind I think is next, since he's got the next-friendliest dragon who he interacts with a fair amount. I don't have much reasoning apart from that (though Valoo does burn down the fort of the guy who nearly killed him multiple times, so there is that), but it would be plausible at least.

Wild is next I guess, since he's got dragons that aren't enemies. He even helps Naydra a whole bunch at that one part, who's to say he couldn't (somehow??) be related to her? Mom? Naydra mom?? I'm writing that down actually that could be really interesting–

For everyone else I'd say it's probably about the same amount of likelihood (which is to say, slim). You could maybe make a case for Time being related somehow if you factor in the manga thing with Volvagia, but that's about it. Same with Twilight, you could borrow the manga thing with Argorok, though I would edit some of that a bit personally.

Legend's dragons are all bosses as far as I know (though gemesaur king-related Legend would be COOL), which is actually a little surprising. Maybe you could contrive something with that dancing dragon dungeon though. Maybe.

Four just has Gleerok, a fiery dragon boss. Again, you could borrow from the manga and have it be a corrupted dragon, but it seems more creaturey to me so that might get weird.

Least likely is Hyrule I think. He's got like three dragons and all are bosses. though I guess you could make an argument for him having the same colored eyes as Aquamentus and Gleeok's scales. That's pretty much it tho.

[silvesi]

So, context wise, I've always figured Feds looks more creaturey over time due to his vampirism/mordrem/nmc... issues but never decided how, so I had to rectify that real quick. ⬇️

Unfortunately, now I have the question, mostly due to the extra joint he has gained on his legs:

I think I've already decided but. u know.

In the Grinch, the who's all live on different flowers, but other whos from different flowers cannot always live on different flowers. In the live action, the children who's float down from the sky to be with their parents. I concur that if a flower is picked, the who children currently floating to that flower either die horrible deaths alone with no one to love them, or manage to land on another flower. Enter the Grinch. He came from a picked flower, landing on the land currently occupied by the beings we know as who's. Being unable too properly live on this flower, he becomes sickly, leading to his skin and fur turning green and his heart shrinking. The other whos treat him as an outcast for this leading to him running away. He hated Christmas because it represents the love he was never shown as a child. This is what happens when you watch the Grinch late at night with your siblings. (Our thought process)Also, why do the who's have antennae, not all of them, but some of them, the children look obviously different, so you can tell some of the.adults.are just small, not children. Why do the who's faves look like that, they're so.... Creaturey.. but the Grinch has a similar face shape to them, he could he one of them! Or, had been one of them? Are there different who's on different flowers? May the Grinch is sick, he is a bit green. Do the who's from other flowers know each other? Can they get to each other? Maybe the Grinch is from one of those flowers..don't the children float from the sky though in the live action one? Maybe he got kidnapped? Why is Cindy lou who important? Why was she the only one to see the Grinch, the only one who could convince him otherwise, why wasn't she asleep? Does she sympathize with the Grinch? How does she know the Grinch? He's pretty obviously not Santa, so she probably knows it's him and is just humoring him. .....also why do their faces look like radishes?

Stay tuned for my thoughts on charlie brown and why you never see their parents/ adults, / why the adults sound like that .

My entire family will not be able to see the Grinch the same why again, and I hope now so won't you.

Day 18: Fandom AU

Ok so. I know this is late and quite frankly what I got isn't the best but you know what? This is Cringetober. Who cares about the quality when there's passion and drive? And god damn I have been so passionate about these guys. This hyperfixation has lasted for months and has no sign of stopping and I've had so many Thoughts™ about them its ridiculous how much detail and nuance I've created. So here it is: my version of the HMS crew!

So here's the thing. When I first discovered the album, I only knew about the full Mind Electric. I thought that these characters were only a part of that song so my idea of what they looked like stemmed only from that. As I found out about the rest of the album, their designs changed surprisingly little but were elaborated upon. Second thing to note: these designs are really weird. Not only because I was only working from one song but also because of my personal taste in designs. I tend to stray away from straight shot people and that led me to make these guys into creatures instead. How creaturey you may ask? Well how about I just start off with the strangest of them all.

I made Heart a velvet worm. Honestly I wish I knew an exact reason but honestly I'm not entirely sure why. My reasoning is that I heard the line "This creature hardly resembles a man" and took it literally, then I figured a velvet worm would be fun. He's red because I didn't know if purple velvet worms existed and I felt that the red would make the purple lips stand out more. But now I think it works, I mean he's big and bulky and takes up a lot of space just like overwhelming emotions. And I recently learned that velvet worms actually form close social bonds. Notes: 1. I don't have an exact length yet but its smaller than regular velvet worms. 2. The realistic heart symbol on his chest actually changes color depending on his mood as an indicator. 3. His eyes are completely blacked out. 4. He can see some light but more importantly he sees Mind and Soul as glowing silhouettes that are blue and red respectively. 5. The eyestalks move around quite a lot to help with expressiveness.

Now for my personal favorite: Mind. So for him I was working with the idea of a disembodied pair of blue lips in a white void and a robotic voice. And I already clocked that Mind was a hypocrite so I figured that if he was saying Heart barely resembled a man, then he would also barely look human too. So I can up with this computery design that would maximize the expressive and wild nature I have in mind for him. Notes: 1. The front panel with the lips is a screen that can display pretty much anything. 2. The hands and stand with the wheels can extend infinitely however for the stand he can only realistically extend to about the same height as Heart standing on his last legs before losing balance. 3. The bottom part can lift a tiny bit. 4. His body is on a swivel on the stand meaning he can spin it 360. 5. The glass panel on his top and the panels below the brain all open.

And here's Soul! They're supposed to be a light lavender but I didn't have the colors and quite frankly I didn't want to delay this any longer. As for why lavender, again all I had was red lips to work with so I figured to make Soul purple to represent them being above the other two and to help the red stand out better even if he's mostly white. Since soul is a less concrete image I figured to make them a wispy shapeshifter since I really like shapeshifters and it fit with an idea I have for how souls look in another project of mine. Fun fact: the trident is based off of a lucid dream I had where I summoned Soul's trident and that's the design I got. This lucid dream also had Mind hijack me trying to summon an oc then he baited me into a jumpscare. Bitch. Notes: 1. Only the edges of him are purple. 2. Their eyes are completely blank since the eyes are supposed to be a window to the soul. 3. Not only are they a shapeshifter, their form is completely fluid. They can separate or create new body parts that act independently from the original and they can even create clones (for the moments where they sing in multiple voices). 4. They are always floating. They are actually incapable of touching most surfaces as they always float an inch above including the floor and anything they grab other than the trident. They still interact as if they were being touched such as Soul lifting things or sitting in a chair. (Since being only a soul they're disconnected from physical existence) 5. They can teleport at any time and bring things along. This extends to cloned parts. (They like to create a hand and teleport it to the fridge and back to grab Monster cans no matter where they are.

And finally here's Whole! (Trust me Darrell is around I didn't forget him). He did change quite a bit design wise and ended up with this once I was listening to the rest of the album. I pictured him with the similar color thing to Soul since I figured Soul would be the closest to Whole. This is also when I really understood the color symbolism since I noticed throughout the songs that Whole was represented with blue and green. His color image in the songs is blue and green, he's referred to as blues and greens, and also Soul is Atlas who holds the world on his shoulders and what color is the world? Blue and green. Notes: 1. The blue and green shift around his body akin to a liquid or lava lamp. 2. The wheels work independently like Mind's wheels. (A holdover from when I wanted him to have features of all three and kept because it made for more fun animation ideas.) 3. His eyes are gray which is a reference to the secondary colors HMS are tied to: black, white, and gray. Also playing back into the "eyes are a window into the soul" idea. 4. I actually added the hair as I drew this because I figured it'd look better. 5. He's really good at editing (for his multiple voice thing.

Someday I should make a lore post but for now enjoy this!

[the-fuck-was-i-thinking-when-i]

so i feel like actually posting some of the art i've done. the mission i've been on recently is to make a tiny teddy bear pattern. so there has been some trial and error and i have not yet succeeded but i'm getting closer.

so this is the first attempt:

as you can see he's a bit of a failure

don't worry, his arms look even worse in real life

second draft wasn't much better

i keep fucking up the arms. clearly.

it has been pointed out to me that making them larger might be way easier and give them a chance of turning out better but i refuse to take that advice.

a new pattern turned out a little better but it also ended up being a rabbit:

a different pattern also failed but in a pretty spectacular way

presenting my beautiful son, Dubious Creature

he looked real fucked up and almost like Tom Nook so i painted him. wish i had thought to take a picture before painting bc he looked even creaturey-er.

i'll get some better pictures later but i just wanted to share

[soullesscoyote]

It cannot be expressed how much i struggled on the hair but also I think even if he doesnt realize it John dies a little inside when hes not matching with arthur in some form more under the cut!!!!

Okay so i loosely based him off a african wild cat bc they look the same as domestic cats just a bit lankier, but of course took creative liberties on his right ear he had discoloration matching arthurs torn ear but i wanted the line on his left to be loosely from that of part of a treble clef to be opposite of arthurs he has a piercing the same color as the light that used to be behind him when john mentions a painting of a lady with long dark hair he sounded really fond of it in a way i took as "he would like having long dark hair" Arthurs eyes!! theyre back with john! bc he had psuedo moth wings covering where his eyes used to be, theyre now markings. rings matching where arthurs fingers were colored according to piano keys i think the vest and trench coat + long hair recreate a loose cloak (i feel like itd feel a bit similar to be that covered more so)

again he matches some colors with arthur, i am inclined to think he doesnt realize hes doing it until someone points it out and thats probably when he would pick up the rings, kinda embracing it. oh yeah shoes art the same color of his shadow thing at the bottom of his more creaturey design!

meowlevolent (this will happen again) shading is for another kind Okay Arthur and John design notes Here Oscar and Noel under the cut!!!

Oscar: - in my head he gives off grey blue vibes so likely a kind of russian blue cat - i thought some spots might be a good place to get a bit silly, so I took his heart nose and made it loosely around the idea of a sacred heart - the other spots 4 on the left and 3 on the right were grabbed from the star tarot since i wanted something to base the spots off of - fleur-de-lis chin fur - slightly diamond shaped eyes to give a slightly more nervous look to him - oscars voice in my head sounds a bit like someone who might have a beard? fluff be upon ye - spots around the eyes to also be tear esque considering oscars whole thing appearing to drink away things that haunt him Noel: - siamese cats are very smart and social so i thought it was a good breed to work off of. - Considering Noel is mentioned as wearing a trenchcoat i think he was the most fitting to have a typical detective look. I also wanted to give him suspenders but since the trench coat obscured it i settled for that kind that goes around the chest - tbh i think out of everyone noel having a more plain design is very fitting for a guy who takes on a new identity - judgement tarot has an angel but main thing from that i tried to integrate was feathery cheeks and loosely wing shapes in the ears - similar with the outfit i think a more plain design would fit for a guy whos supposed to appear somewhat normal - in my head underneath his clothes bc siamese are color points his fur has dark splotches that would mark where he got injuries in the dreamlands - i really wanted to give the feel of kind and understanding eyes because the whole scene of him talking to john and the way arthur tells him right away about john just reminds me of when ppl are more inclined to tell you stuff if you appear understanding

2022 Retrospective: Dance Performance of the Year

E’LAST – Creature

I love how subtle this choreo is in parts. It really is like a creature stalking you, that then pounces and roars at you. I like to believe that is the intent at least. It’s also really gorgeous and the bridge is probably my favourite choreo moment in 2022. Choi In also really delivers with this choreo.

KEY – BOUND

It’s very rare for me to see a choreo and want to learn it. But this is it. I really want to learn this choreo. But I also believe that it would look half as cool as Key. He really was born to do this choreo. For other people, it would look like a lot of waving their arms around with little coordination, but he makes it look so effortlessly easy. So, basically, this is his MOVE. The choreo is also really satisfying on the beat drop. Did I also mention that there is voguing? Because it’s amazing.

Jackson Wang – BLOW

I don’t actually know if I like this choreo, or if I like the music video. The way the video is constantly moving with the choreo is definitely satisfying. I also love how controlled it looks, despite being complete and utter chaos.

Kang Daniel feat. Jessi – Don’t Tell

I’m a sucker for classical dances, so when I noticed that this choreo uses Salsa steps, I was instantly hooked. It’s a style that looks great on him and I would love to see him explore it more in the future.

[kazumahashimoto]

so i *makes a momominajirou kid*

dokuru yaoyorozu! his quirk: poison object!

he can create any object as long as he understands the structure of it, but it always has poison fibers on the outside that will leave you with a nasty rash at best, and a hole in your skin at worst.

he's gay and trans and said fuck dysphoria!

he's an edgy little bastard and threatens to use his quirk to melt shit, buuuuuut he usually doesn't actually follow through. he did craft himself a nice pair of gloves on a day where he just felt like shaking the hands of local pieces of shit though :)

he's boydfriends with ashino kaminari~~ (miles' oc lol) and their gay

momo and jirou taught him how to play a lot of different instruments but he likes drums best :) momo made him his own drumsticks~

speaking of momo he calls her mama momo because fucking idk man. alliteration at its finest. idk what mina and jirou would be but hdbcjf

that's all i can think of so erm yeah y'all can ask questions coUGH

[limerental]

my thots about twn eskel are:

the scar is nice and yeah it's book accurate in shape. I would have loved a half your face gone horrific scar but intense facial scarring would have been hellish for the actor. have we learned nothing from anyas prosthetics in s1?

his look overall is nice... manbun... kinda weaselly, greasy... just nice to look at. literally not a twink

thue really does not look that different from basil idk they are both just blond european dudes to me what is the difference

those .2 seconds of one line of dialogue say nothing about his overall personality and in the books he does initially come off as intimidating to ciri

that .2 seconds of geralt hugging Lambert say nothing about his relationship with eskel PLUS he also hugs coen are we just forgetting coen don't tell me we are ignoring coen

the eskel that exists in fanon does not exist in the books or even in the games. I do like him big and soft and ugly but he is a fandom collective imagining. he could never be recreated in any sense that would make anyone happy because he doesn't exist.

I keep collecting greasy creaturey men babes help its so slippery

[fuzzywyrmz]

got into ULTRAKILL, so. gabriel doodle while i’m still a bit artblocked

he probably looks more creaturey or something under his helmet but bwegh. creativity juice low. just an idea

[miqojak]

Burn

(( Mostly in reference to angst with a former 'flame' - though there’s also mentions of one @ketsuchikotetsu​ as well! ))

My fingers shook, at first. 

My sketchbook is as close to ‘holy’ as I think I get - my art is...passion. The incomprehensible given form given beauty - given life that it, perhaps ironically, lacks in the flesh. Pages upon pages stare back at me...their multitudinous expressions reflected back from my own mind’s eye - the nuance of a smile’s tilt, or the crease in a frown...the furrow of a brow, the tilt of an ear, a dusting of freckles, or the fall of hair just so. 

I started slow - one page at a time, tearing slowly and gently. I can’t...hold onto them anymore, their expressions I archived so intently. I can’t look back, or I will drown. One by one I pick up speed, thrusting the pages into the hungry flames at my side, as a snarl builds in my chest...though now and then a few pages are snatched up by the equally greedy wind...and are taken out to sea for their demise.

Fitting, really. 

My hands still shake, but I get into the flow, and I just keep moving - one page after another tears away from the thing’s spine, and my sketchbook - like my life - lies tattered...gutted - shreds of it strewn about, or drifting away as cinders on a sea breeze.

One of them lingers in it’s tattered pages...the one who always lingers. He was the first one to grace the pages of this sketchbook - fitting that he’d be the one left when the rest burned. And there will come another artbook. A new one. A fresh one, now. No more memories of those to whom I always came second, while I bent over backwards...while I defended them, as they were both already moving on.

I knew. I expected it. I don’t get to wallow in self-pity. But I can’t escape the inevitable emotional process - nor the ways in which I began to fear the Smuggler - the Pawn - near the end that still haunt me, now; I can’t just...forget the Wolf’s hands as the gentle, healing ones in the aftermath...and the smuggler’s as the ones that snapped me, broke me, and bent me out of place...all while murmuring dulcet whispers.

Like a toy. A plaything that he thinks he’s broken, so he’s thrown me away.

It’s bad enough, staying in my apartment...where I never know if I’ll actually be safe, without setting up magical safety measures I lack the expertise to devise or enable. Nor am I confident that I’d be in the right mind to defend myself, if he showed up. The mind turns on itself in paranoia, though I’ve made the mistake of underestimating him once already - much to my current chagrin. I’ll take no more chances with this particular obsessive, possessive madman. Perhaps his interest is solely focused on his new prey. And perhaps I’d make a better dragon, in his mind, if I were a caged one - a better ‘goddess’ if I stayed in a ‘temple’. And maybe he’ll just pretend nothing happened, and try to gloss over it - as usual. But it doesn’t pay to avoid thinking of the worst...because that’s when it happens.

So I stay on the move between inns, but I still don’t rest well. I don’t eat much.

I think about somnus constantly.

It’d be a lot easier if I could...just have a smoke, now and then. Unlike that predatory prick, however, I refuse to have someone tamper with my mind to make me put down my problematic behavior. That’s his problem - taking the first easy option that presents itself - literally, apparently. It’ll all come back to bite him in the ass one day, though. Tortoise and the hare, and all - every kit knows that story from the fireside.

I’ll power through somehow; I don’t need the drugs...I just...need a little help to get through the next couple weeks. I need somewhere I feel safe enough to actually sleep through the night, and...I think that requires the request of a favor I don’t really have the right to ask...but since when has that ever stopped me from trying?

I think it amuses the Wolf, honestly, when I have no option but to ask. Perhaps it will amuse this time, as well. I am trying to make up for...disappointing him? Supposing that was real, at any rate. I can’t trust anything. But at least it’s a goal to work towards, that ‘request’ of his; gives me something to chew on when I can’t sleep.

‘Sleepless and alone,’ we mocked, tongue in cheek - I, turning bitterly from the truth. You don’t just admit to having violent nightmares. Especially about the person he told you not to get involved with, anyways.

In the meantime, I take what solace I can in watching the Pawn’s face burn - over, and over, and over again. I think about the things I would have done for him. I think about the humiliating things I’ve already suffered for him. A part of me celebrates, yes, that I am free of the crushing weight of his ignorance, sloth, and gluttony - of the oppressive burden of doing everything for him, while he cried about the injustice of higher expectations. I think about how I could have been trapped with that, and yet he’s the one who tore it all apart in the end; it troubles me. Perhaps he just is that fucking stupid? Perhaps he’ll come back with violence in mind, or some obsession he’ll disguise as ‘guilt’...and yet...some small, traitorous part of me still mourns. 

I’m no stranger to obsession...or possessiveness. I’m just better at controlling it. 

Usually.

What we could have been, if he’d just worked with me. What he’s capable of...if he’d just been honest about it from the start, instead of playing a role - instead of living a lie that impressed no one! But then...that’s that dying little spark’s problem, isn’t it? It loved his potential - what he might have been. What could be, but never will. I might have well and truly admired him - loved him without coercion - if he’d just been what he really is, under the grinning veneer: the creatureI saw when I first met him, and took that ill-fated gamble.

I suppose...I drag it out of them purposefully, their shadow-selves - the monster, the dark impulse...I demand the honesty and barbarity of it - so how can I really complain, when I’m bloodied by as much? Perhaps he’ll even grow into his own, at last, now. Perhaps I won’t gain from it, but the ripples are made...the stone is cast. I need not bloody this star by my own hand, to sow the seeds of chaos.

I made what I wanted, didn’t I?

I molded this monster. 

I spurred him on.

I watch him go up in flames, anyways - let it all burn.

Dralsin lore dump alert wweewweoowwewoo (WALL)

My lil goth boy is from a different tree, although he’s not aware of this until mid icebrood saga at the earliest. 

HOW IS THERE MORE TREE?

So, think different timeline/dimension. Random unnamed sylvari found out about the mordremoth stuff earlier, and was really struggling with it. They don’t wanna follow anything. Existential crisis ensues. The solution to existential crises? Giving yourself purpose. This sylvari devotes themselves to preserving memories of the sylvari, not trusting that they’ll survive the ordeal. 

How? Good question! No idea. Add a load of magic bullshit, a lot of travelling, trial and error, and I like to think it's along the lines of propagating part of the pale tree - at least to hold onto those memories, not expecting it to ever produce. Definitely ends up delving into the mists during this research. 

So, they end up being right, their timeline is going to shit. They’ve already been hopping around the mists a bit so it's a frantic moment of OH HELL BETTER HURL THIS PLANT SOMEWHERE. They probably had a destination in mind, but wherever that was, it did not reach it, and ended up somewhere in the mists, probably pretty damn close to the rift. On the border, if not in it.

There is so much magic in there for a little plant already of a magical nature to feed off that it settles itself there, so eventually - mists tree :) 

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THEM. WHAT R THEY DOING.

It’s a fair bit messed up for obvious reasons, but it functions. I think that due to their creator and such, the sylvari from it almost always end up feeling out of place, like there’s just something missing. It’s in part due to that, and holding onto those memories of a failed timeline, that they too end up forcing a purpose upon themselves. They are frequent timeline hoppers and information gatherers, of knowledge they deem important that would otherwise be lost as those worlds burn out. Why? Just in case. They see themselves as keeping watch without interfering unless necessary. It’s kinda like the sylvari library of alexandria. They tend to travel in pairs, and as well as the generic mists-traversing and time stuff, have spent a long time becoming proficient in magic regarding memory. Learned their lesson very fast early on when one of them saw too much and had a bad time with it all. They routinely wipe/transfer memories to protect themselves, and I’m debating if this is such a huge thing that they consider themselves to have multiple ‘lives’ because of it. 

I alsoo think the reason they don't look super creaturey is because the tree already contained memories of what they should look like, so it's reflected more in their abilities. Thinking stuff along the lines of randomly phasing parts of their body in and out of shadow. Sticks m hand through a wall.

No CLUE how Dralsin ended up where he did and not remembering anything. Also no clue how, ‘coincidentally’, Valeran ended up in the same world too. Given that Valeran remembers, and was outcast for yet unidentified crimes, they’re likely related events.

I've not developed more because the new dlc looks veeery promising for mists tomfoolery >:3

[tharglet]

Behemoth King & Marlboro - Final Fantasy XIII

These pair of creatures I picked up cheap at a Hobby Off, without boxes. I was impressed with the prices in the Hobby Offs I visited, even if they didn’t do tax-free shopping.

Firstly, let’s have a look at the Behemoth King:

Looking at these creatures close-up, there are many small details to be seen, such as the stitches on his sleeve, and the metal edging on his shoulder… ribbons? His tail curls around him nicely, and for this figure the “front” isn’t the best viewing angle, but you do get to see his face.

Left:

This I would regard as his viewing angle, as you can see mos of his pose. Here we see his tail has a heavy metal end that I’d definitely not want to tangle with! The muted blue and purple colour scheme works well, and definitely counteracts blandness in colour design for a creature, without going full-on fantasy. I also wouldn’t want to tangle with the clawed gloves he seems to be wearing on all his limbs. The weapon on his back is also nicely sculpted and painted.

Right:

Here we can see he has a good amount of shading in his back paint. The rock “stand” is largely visible from here, and the textures and colours on it are nice and feel like stone. The ribbons on his shoulder look like they are blowing in the wind, which is a nice touch.

Back:

Here we can see the ribbons (as I’m calling them…) are textured nicely and are shaded down their length. Also liking the spiky collars on his wrists/ankles.

Overall, I’m impressed with the quality of the sculpt and the paint for this figure, plus I love his overall design.

Now for Marlboro:

My research revealed, that yes, his name is a reference to the cigarettes, as he kills you with his stink. I love the detail of this creature’s design, and the muted colour scheme. He also feels kinda cute to me, by monster standards. Here we see him looking like he’s wrapped himself over a dead adventurer, who still had his sword. I love his big, gaping mouth, with all its teeth. The paintwork is quite detailed around here.

Left:

Here we see His Plantiness has orange tips on all his extremities. I like this touch in his design, and the paint seems blended well with the green, so there isn’t a harsh transition.

Right:

Again, more orange-ended tentacles, plus some skulls beneath him. Yeah, don’t think I want to tussle with those teeth.

Back:

Here we see an obvious join about halfway up his back - this is the only noticeable flaw imo. Here he also has some yellow accents on his vines, which adds some depth and detail to him. I think a decent amount of detail has been put into his sculpt, and definitely gives him a plantlike appearance.

Overall, I’m really happy with this figure too. On a personal level, I think Marlboro is my favourite of the two, but that’s down to creature design rather than quality. I could recommend these figures, who would like some more creaturey small figures in their collection.
