Aren't I hurting anyone? Perhaps it's time for me to tear apart For what it is I've been Denote my place within humanity Projecting by my will I've been amassing solid iron claws Ignore the rottenness My recitals will decay in a flash

Happy birthday @cloudbattrolls! my buddy, my pal, my partner in writing hilarious and occasionally deeply cursed crimes

here's your blender gremlin :]

Was flipping through one of my old notebooks and found this!

[flickering-nightfall]

hey do you have an artfight :O

I doooo... but! I'm not doing it this year unfortunately, not enough time or energy :[ Also my account is under a different name and I've got no rainworld OCs on it yet harhar. Thanks for asking though!!

Too bad because the theme looks fun, I would have picked werewolves probably! I watched my friends struggle with the servers dying in the first few days, just like artfight does every year. Dang it now I'm looking at the site with longing...

Limb anatomy figures from my college textbooks because I encountered an author mentioning "backwards knees" in a human/canine transformation.

just curious, why oviraptorids for your silurians?

oh I definitely tossed around a few different ideas before the oviraptors, they just ended up feeling the most right to me. here's something that could almost pass for a design process:

The first shot at a silurian I did was this tuatara redesign of the original fish guys; i didn't really like it as it doesn't feel very evocative of the original to me (the fact that they're going for "black lagoon fish man" does not jell with how subsequent designs are lizard people, and I just couldn't marry those two things well here) (also, wow, I hadn't even rewatched surface (2005) at this point, goes to show how much of a throttle that's had on my design sensibilities for the past 20 years)

I think the second was this (sort of) prosauropod, after a friend informed me that the species is canonically meant to be prosauropods (sure jan). This wasn't a super serious design, I drew it in like 5 minutes for my friends (I did consider prosauropods seriously later on, but never drew any concepts past this)

When I was looking through my folders I found this drawing next to the last, where its just the humanoid silurians but with feathers. pretty sure this was just meant to be exactly what you'd expect a feathered design would have been on the bbc in 2011. I don't remember drawing this, but here it is for posterity.

the next (actually somewhat serious) attempt made them weird raptors; at this point I was actively trying to give them a flat, owl-like face so they were evocative of the humanoid designs in the show. I really wanted them to feel like generic spec bio dinosaur people of the 2020s (a tongue in cheek update to them being generic spec bio dinosaur people for the 1970s) and this kind of has that vibe, but I didn't think it looks great; something about it feels very non expressive and kind of forced to me. (The kea-inspired colors stuck around though.)

later I revamped that sketch and added a cassowary-esque crest (you can see the one in the frilly clothes here is just that first design with a crest tacked on).

I also doodled an oviraptorid version in the corner while I had dinosaurs with crests in mind; I ended up really liking how much that looked almost human in profile, so I ended up fleshing that out more:

This looked way more expressive and bespoke to me, and felt the most evocative of the original humanoid designs (somehow), while still looking like a real dinosaur species instead of a totally made up one

so yeah the oviraptors ended up sticking around at that point - they just clicked way more than any of the other attempts!

Pipp is one of my favourite designs in the show. Love her flapper girl inspiration, and she reminds me alot of a cupid. I thought a fan-tailed dove would be fitting, meanwhile her sister is vaguely based off a raptor.

I drew her while during a car ride, so it may look a bit sloppy, haha.

Zephyr Slip

At the end of last year, before I'd begun working on Bit Cobalt, I ran into some paleoart of Austroraptor, a dromaeosaur (raptor) from Argentina. Austroraptor is one of the largest dromaeosaurs, with a long, narrow, Big Bird snoot, conical teeth that probably point to fishing, and small forelimbs, as well as leg proportions that hint at a runner. Much of the paleoart I saw depicted Austroraptor in waterbird colors, which gave it a soft and friendly appearance, immediately my new favorite dinosaur.

So I drew an Austroraptor and then a robotic one, adding a quail topknot or ahoge feather, and started to think about making a transforming figure that would change from this animal into a humanoid robot. But a transformation from cute robot girl to cute robot girl, except one of them is a dinosaur, seemed a bit redundant, and there would be compromises in both directions that would detract rather than add.

But a couple of months later, I saw a particular motor scooter and something clicked, and the game was on. I love motor scooters, and they're a fantastic accessory for other figures on the shelf. I went through two foamcore prototypes to nail down the transformation, making it as simple and sturdy as I could manage and making sure both modes would scale well with other 1/12 scale figures.

I also started collecting some reference images for details I could nab and integrate, and to nail down the scaling of the scooter.

After I had something that worked, I drew up some concept art for both modes and started modeling. I was able to streamline the design a couple of steps further in the 3D model, and then it was all carving up shapes, fine tuning, etc. Probably the longest phase of modeling was after I had my model roughed out into shape, but needed to build the joints, firm up the edges, define all the contact surfaces, and apply subdivision surfaces. I found it useful to rig the model and set a couple of animation steps in Blender for the two modes so I could simply page back and forth between them.

I had to set the design on the back burner while I worked out the kinks with my 3D printer and built my last couple of projects. Then I made a test print to identify any trouble spots, and after a couple of tweaks to get the feel right, it was time to print and finish the real thing. Zephyr Slip is the first thing I've printed in "color", and thanks to some dyes I need to experiment with more, she won't be the last. That means a much more durable finish for parts that have to slide against one another or clip into place. I did add a gloss coat to some surfaces of the black elements, but it shouldn't show chipping much. (Unlike the kickstand, thanks to my terrible decision to paint its feet.)

Like my previous figures, Zephyr's eyes (and console) are just printed gloss paper under a coat of gloss varnish, and her headlights and taillights have some clear resin poured in over the paint and cured into place for lenses.  Cutting plastic windows like the ones on my Vertigo GT for the lower headlights didn't have the same effect, so they got the same clear resin treatment. The decal designs themselves were made in Blender, because I've given up on Inkscape's interface, but I think they came out okay.

The joints are almost exclusively 3mm ABS rods, although her hip joints are Kotobukiya Hexa Gear joints, which gave me a sturdy pin and hinge in a compact package and without visible pegs. I'm looking into options to make the pegs show less while being easy to remove for the construction and painting process. Despite some care with the tolerances, I did have to widen some peg holes and mush some pegs during assembly to get her pose well and snap together tight into either mode. But everything does clip solidly into place, resulting in a really playable figure. 

As my first fully transforming figure and also my largest, Zephyr Slip is definitely the biggest figure project I've tackled so far, and I'm extremely happy with the results. Posability is probably her weakest area, but she can pounce and emote, and with her solid handfeel and satisfyingly snappy transformation, I'm happy with the design. 

Paleontologically, I've followed most of the proportions of the real animal, although her torso should be a little bit longer, and her tail half again as long. She should also have visible first fingers, and I'm playing into the paleoart meme of bare snouts on dromaeosaurs that shouldn't have them. The proportion of thigh to shin is exaggerated, and the tail should have some left-right sway even if it's inflexible in the vertical axis. But it pleases me that she is both a roughly accurately scaled Austroraptor, and also a fairly realistically scaled scooter (if a bit chunky).

As always, due credit to @aprilpowered and Workbenchmaniac for support and feedback along the way, as well as Nemocyte (Tumblr | Twitter), whose feedback helped me to work out (among other things) the articulation needs of a theropod figure, something I'd never had to think about before.

You keep talking about Raptor sleep pile and I'll let you know you aren't the only one lol

I drew it a bit ago so its unfinished but I'll try to finish it cause it is a cute idea.

OHAMG GAOSH I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT‼️‼️‼️ LITERALLY EXACTLY HOW I PICTURED THE SLEEP PILE JSJSJJSJS @koi-fish-boy LOOK AT THIS MASTERPIECE RIGHT HERE ‼️‼️🗣️🗣️🗣️

[hugsohugs]

someone called louie's smile ugly and it made me sad so i drew him smiling

i don't care what anyone else says i think he is cute and so is his smile!!!!!!!!!

also raptor hands. as a treat

[sciderman]

Quick! Infodump about something!

HHH UH. UHHH. UUUUH. okay. okay. i'm going to info dump about what i did today and it's NOT going to be about spider-man. let me infodump about something else i got really giddy about today and that's the crystal palace dinosaurs.

i've wanted to visit crystal palace for the longest time but have never had the time to do it. so i woke up this morning RESOLUTE that today is the day. today is the day i'm finally going to see them. the crystal palace dinosaurs.

they were made in 1857 back before we had all of these archeological finds that completely changed the way we look at dinosaurs. look at these goofy guys. look at these guys.

they're just giant iguanas. i love them.

i got so, so unreasonably excited about these guys. and look at these wiggly guys. look at them.

i love this photo because there we have a still breathing dinosaur (the goose) sitting on top of a ridiculous interpretation what we thought a dinosaur was 150 years ago.

of course i was listening to the jurassic park theme song as i went, because the crystal palace dinosaurs were the blueprint. this was the first jurassic park, baby. oh yeah. oh yeah.

i drew the wiggly boy.

look at him.

yeah, okay i wasn't having a very good art day today and i was too giddy about the dinosaurs to draw anything good. but my favourite thing about my sketchbook is that it is so shitty. and whenever i flick through it again i smile because this crappy doodle means a lot to me. i remember how stupid giddy was when i drew this crappy little wiggly man. and that means so much more to me.

i loved this mural on the restrooms. these funky little guys.

i kind of am obsessed with our old inaccurate dinosaurs. i'm so obsessed with the little raptors in the london natural history museum because i remember when they were naked. but they put little feather jackets on them since we discovered dinosaurs might have been feathered. look at these guys in their feather jackets.

they just.. took these guys and put them in fursuits. im gongna cry.

here you go here is my little small fascination people don't know about and that is scientifically inaccurate depictions of dinosaurs. i think about the raptors in their little fursuits ALL the time. AAAAALL the time.

[colourstreakgryffin]

May I request smut with urogi, karaku, and sekido with a demon hybrid hashira? (Basically human mother, demon father)

Hashira was sent to kill them, but they realised shes a hybrid and they decide to have some fun instead

Hashira is female

Thank you for reading ;×;

Hmmm! This time I get three Upper Moons for smut, than Hashira! The infamous emotion/Hantengu clones as suspected! Damn! I’ll do it! I haven’t written for Karaku yet so hoping I can do him well!

Urogi

Wrangling the katana out of your hands and tossing it to the side, Urogi’s eagle-like claws dug into your hips as it drew out a interesting smell of both demon blood and human blood mixed together, the demon slayer uniform shredded neither his grasp. He could tell you weren’t exactly a human nor a demon, a hybrid but you were also a Hashira. Were you his enemy? Urogi couldn’t tell

Thanks to his overwhelming strength over you, he could force you down onto your back as his dangerously sharp claws torn apart your uniform from the top to the bottom till the destroyed remains of black fabric laid over and besides your hot bare body, his dark eyes filled over in lust at the delicious sight before him. He digs his fangs into your neck, hand fondling your now nude breast

Urogi never stopped smirking down at you, purely gleeful and joyful at the situation as his fingers drew down your visible soaked clit, making you shiver in pleasure at his touch. “Oooh, yeah~!” Urogi rolled out delighted with a deep purr, his free claws yanked down his fur-like Hakama pants as the big pearl belt cling to his hips. You clenched around nothing, the second his thick cock bounced out from its restraints as he sighs in relief and excitement

Urogi’s golden yellows scanned over you like a predator stalked it’s prey, you had the strangest smell to him but it was so enticing. Rubbing his bulbous tip over your entrance as his raptor-like claws trailed over your hips at the delicious curves until he begun to push in with a joyous chuckle, your whine of pleasure at his shaft stretching you open. Once he finally bottoms out, Urogi hangs his tongue in a playful smirk as you throw your head back with whines of pleasure and encouragement, in sync with him beginning to roll his hips against yours

“You’re a naughty girl, stay still~!”

Karaku

Karaku roughly swung his fatsia leaf-shaped Uchiwa to blow your signature Nichirin Katana out of your grasp, the overwhelmingly powerful winds made you tumble back at immense pressure and forcing you to use your demon-like claws to try stop your flinging body screech to a stop. Karaku was rather amused by your reaction, a Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps struggling to stay upright all because of his single attack as he lowered down his trusty handy-dandy Uchiwa

Karaku was very enlightened and pleased at his little so-called enemy as he scanned over your frame, emerald greens boring. Your uniform slightly torn from the explosive breeze barrel he shot at you and revealing clumps of your hot human-mixed-human body. He wasn’t going to deny, he had been eyeing you ever since you attacked him and his clone brothers to fend them off from all these pathetic swordsmiths. Such pathetic lives… except yours

In that moment, he decided he didn’t want to kill you. You weren’t a mere human like the ones he killed, ate nor battled. You’re a hybrid… he could sense it off you from a mile away and it made him even more attracted to you as he, before you could even blink, leaps onto you and pins down all four of your limbs effortlessly with just three of his. Overpowered in a instant, you could only gaze up at Karaku as he shedded up your soaked bottom undergarments, alongside parts of your uniform so he had easier access

Karaku quickly yanked off his thin pair of Hakama pants as his thick hot cock drooled at the sight of your bare wet pussy. He may not have expressed the amount of excitement as he felt but he was over the moon, sticking out his kanji-marked tongue that read ‘Pleasure’ whilst he practically threw your legs over your shoulders to push in his mighty girth as deep as he can. He was ready to have fun and with that carefree grin of his, he wasn’t going to stop at anything

“So cute~! Do you like this, Angel~?”

Sekido

Cornering you up against a thick tree trunk of the deep dark forest guarding the Swordsmith Village, you rose your Nichirin Katana defensively in preparation to unleash a another form of your signature Breathing Style, the Anger clone of the one and only Upper Moon 4 with his silky fancy kimono and blood reds full of fury and irritation at you, Sekido’s Khakkhara coursed with thin streams of hyperactive light blue electricity as he, full-power, swings the long rod of his Khakkhara against your katana and effectively shattered it into two as the pieces fell to your floor

Shit… you panicked hysterically as Sekido’s interested marked eyes scanned over your visible demon-like fangs, despite the fact your blood kinda smelled like a human’s. You must be a special one and you truly were, belonging to a human mother and a demon father so you were truly a anomaly but you were accepted as a Hashira, a relief combatant to eradicate the demon race for good. Despite the fact you shared blood with the demons, you wanted them gone for good and you racked your brain to try get this demon to back off

Sekido wasn’t planning on giving mercy to you as he stamped his Khakkhara onto the ground in a hard thump. Like a invisible lightning bolt struck you, your body seized at suddenly appearing electric strikes as Sekido’s claws ripped apart your slayer uniform as you were continuing to practically fry under the intense electrical surge, picking you up after sticking his weapon into the ground to push you up against the wood with his own physical strength, his hand grips your wrists as his free palm rips open your thighs

His hips grazed his very pitched-up erection against your open ready pussylips as his hot breath platter over your boiling skin when he lets go of your plump skin to shred off his hidden Hakama pants, his roaring vein-covered cock stood proudly before you. Your brain was rather melted down, trying its best to process the ravenous aggressive lustful desire as he pressed his head through your walls, he continued stared you down as you huffed out in pleasure

“You’re a naughty girl, stay still~!”
