[[Image Description: A headshot drawing of two characters. The character on the left is a lion with a thick mane and mustache. The character on the right is a donkey with large floppy ears. End of Description.]] Did a quick bit of concept art for Matonne’s potential parents. I’m pretty proud of how her lion dad turned out, but I’m still on the fence about her mother. I’m torn between making her a full donkey or a donkey-rabbit, and I might shorten her muzzle.
Some ideas (subject to change) on my furry characters and their relationships. And because this a terrible diagram, here’s the info in text form.
Matonne Cerise and Bev: Each other’s main romantic (and sexual) partners. Their love language is making all manner of animal noises at each other and cuddling a bunch. They have a shared love of speculative fiction, abstract art, food, and encouraging each other to be bold.
Matonne and Camry: They date, sometimes swap clothes. They in particular like to have group dates (and sleepovers 😉) with each other and their main partners.
Matonne and Flora: Probably the most physical of the two’s platonic relationships, since both of them crave physical affection. Occasional bedmates.
Matonne and Octávio: Housemates and drag performers who work together. Most of their bonding is over fashion. Every so often they’ll, uh, share a bed.
Matonne and Joan: Matonne highly respects (and is slightly intimidated by) Joan who admires Matonne for his artistry. Joan sells the clothes Matonne makes in xir store.
Matonne and Tristan: Neither of them quite know how platonic or romantic their relationship is. Both are really good at (and comfortable with) listening to the other vent. And yes, Matonne’s bed is open to Tristan too. Bev and Camry: Met through each other’s main romantic partners. Like going out for sweets together, with or without their partners. They love talking with each other about their crushes (which include their current partners).
Bev and Flora: Best friends who met in college and currently live together. Bev and Flora helped each other out a lot in their queer journeys. Bev has a slight crush on Flora (Flora knows). Traded entire wardrobes.
Bev and Octávio: Gym buddies who also trade recipes. They also both really love speculative fiction, mostly movies though where they fawn over the costumes.
Bev and Joan: Joan sells Bev’s books. Bev is less intimated by Joan than Matonne is.
Bev and Tristan: Gaming buddies. Sometimes Tristan proofreads Bev’s writing.
Camry and Flora: Lovebirds. They’re constantly reassuring of each other through hugs, and head pats, and words of affirmation. They’re both can be pretty sensitive, and are both the most understanding of that for each other.
Camry and Octávio: They absolutely love clothes shopping together. Often these two, plus Flora, will just give each other makeovers.
Camry and Joan: Camry works at Joan’s shop and lives with xir. He’s often very jokey with xir and is the only person Joan trusts to run the shop without xir.
Camry and Tristan: Cousins, best friends, and roommates. They’re always finishing each other’s sentences (and sandwiches) and playfully bantering. Camry is the person Tristan near always turns to when he needs physical or medical assistance.
Flora and Octávio: Octávio teaches Flora makeup. Flora teaches him board gaming. Octávio can sometimes be a bit much for Flora, but he’s learning to tone down his intensity around her.
Flora and Joan: Flora was at first intimidated by Joan, but xe quickly made sure she felt welcome around xir. I mean, Flora is at Joan’s house a lot.
Flora and Tristan: They trade gaming and gender tips. Frequently mistaken for siblings in public.
Octávio and Joan: Octávio is the muscle of Joan’s store, taking care of most of the heavy lifting. Joan is probably the only person who can reign in Octávio’s wild energy.
Octávio and Tristan: They did it once together when Tristan was still figuring out his orientation. You’d think this would make things awkward from then on, but actually, they’re really chill and hang out a lot.
Tristan and Joan: Joan may be Tristan’s boss, but they’re almost like family at this point. Joan is pretty lax with Tristan when it comes to his work and understands his limitations and medical needs. They both bond over media and art preservation which they use to guide the direction of the store.

One of the things I love about TMBD is how certain things are described with far less detail than you would expect, including the appearance of several major characters, leaving a lot of wiggle room for interpretation.
I did, to varying degrees, pull from the Subterranean cover for Home: Habitat, Range, Niche, Territory (Book 4.5) for the characters that appear in the illustration, but the information in the text was the only strict limit I put on myself.
Well that, and the colors assigned to each character. There’s no way I wasn’t going to give each of them a specific hue.
I’ve been reading some fanfics and relistening to the audiobooks, so I decided to update my take on Murderbot.

Gonna be posting some old drawings over the course of the next few days. Wanted to draw Alex in a crop top, but couldn’t decide on whether to put them in jorts or a suspender skirt.
Just playing around with brushes and color.
Happy June. Here, have a bicon.

Just a list of some of the nonbinary genders I interpret some of the UT characters as, along with my reasons for such.

Finally managed to draw a new portrait of myself. It took a lot of time and work to figure out, and I am very proud of how it turned out. I’m especially proud of how the sweater turned out; I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to replicate the pattern of one of my favorite tops.
I wish it weren’t so cold out today, cause I could really go for a donut from the nearest donut shop right now.
Another old drawing of Matonne (hence the streaks in her hair) that I just now spruced up.
