Shoutout To My Comfort Characters For Helping Me Through This Wild Year!

Hello, 2022!

Happy New Year, everybody!!

Just posting this cause I've finally committed on a new username. CanisChiroptera was nice but the word "Canis" has no real relevance to me and I want it to be 100%, y'know? This one combines Chiroptera (the order of bats) with ancient saying of my fellow Canadians, "eh". Oh, and the double i's are mostly just to look cool but it's also a subtle nod to the late great Avicii.

Thank you for the warm welcome, Tumblr! So far I’m enjoying my time here a lot and I hope we can have an awesome 2022 together.

Oh, and one last thing: I’m crossposting everything on Buzzly! It’s a startup art site that’s kind of a mix between Tumblr and classic DeviantArt. Highly recommend! Come visit me, yeah? https://buzzly.art/~Chiiroptereh

Please make more Kaput and Zosky

Always happy to oblige, Anon!

Having a bit of a style crisis don't mind me

Meet Közel! You'll never guess what the theme was for this dude. Leave me alone with my autistic swag

I like ya cut, g

Stan you can’t do that you’re gonna give the poor kid a heart attack

The stupid memes my brother and I think up at 2 AM hold a special place in my heart

What is Kaput and Zösky’s idea for a romantic date?

Depends on who you ask

It's maybe dump buuut any changes on Venuses approach towards Bill after a night-whimper story time?

(Context just in case, I'm a month late lololol)

Not at all, anon! I really like this question actually, and the reason it took me so long to answer is cause I really had to think about it, but I think I've got a good one for ya now.

Some complementary snuggles for ya, possibly a continuation of the last piece? Up to you! Answer's under the cut since it ended up being pretty long.

So, Bill is a pretty inherently childish character. He just wants to break rules and do whatever the hell he wants with no regard for anyone else because he can. Venuz lives with a pretty normal kid (Yung Cuz), and I like to imagine that he raised him himself, so Venuz knows how kids act. I think that Bill dropping his mask and revealing that, essentially, when things went to shit he stuck his fingers in his ears and went "la-la-la" instead of dealing with it like an adult showcased that immaturity of his, and Venuz recognized it.

Now, Venuz's feelings in regards to this depend on your headcanons of his character. Personally I bounce around two different ones: the Nuclear Throne interpretation and the Gun Godz interpretation.*

In NT he's just what we would think of when we think of a god; he's immortal, he's all-powerful, he's always been around and has always been a god. In this case, he can afford to be a careless and trusting guy because he can solve any problem with a thought. This Venuz immediately takes what Bill says at face value and lemme tell ya if he wasn't in love with the guy before this tragic side of him sure did it. Venuz likes when his gold chains are squeaky-clean, not his lovers; I think he adores that Bill's a terrifying disaster. (Not that he doesn't want to help of course; I'm sure the morning after was breakfast in bed and excessive cuddles and kisses)

In GG, Venuz is still a god, but he wasn't always. (I think I unconsciously took a lot of this from this awesome fic so credit where it's due lol) The planet runs on a system where Gun God is a title taken by force, i.e., to become the Gun God you need to kill the Gun God. He has been through the grinder and though he's mellowed out quite a bit after becoming Gun God he has issues really and truly trusting people. This Venuz is more cautious and keeps Bill's history of being a master manipulator in mind, knowing that there is no reason at all that Bill couldn't be putting on an act. That being said, Bill is pretty much harmless as long as Venuz doesn't consciously decide to return his powers to him, so he still tries to comfort him just in case.

Both are pretty great I think, one is lower-stakes and fun while the other has room for more angst and character growth. There is a hole in the GG logic though which is that if Bill got his hands on a gun he could just kill Venuz and become the Gun God, so uh...oops? Idk, this ship is still mostly crack and good fun tbh.

*TL;DR: NT Venuz sees this pathetic man and goes "shit. i love him even more now"; GG Venuz sees this pathetic man and goes "ok but if he's actually telling the truth then he needs me so"

Thanks for the ask!

Oops, almost forgot to post!

Hooray, another finished piece, and this time something all for myself! :D This is my boy Ikkii, he's my first fursuit! Well, kinda. He's just a head, saw him for sale real cheap on eBay and just fell in love with him so made the plunge since I've always wanted a suit. Then I asked my buddy Fantia to design the rest of him, and I just adore him even more now!

He needed a pfp and I needed to paint something so here he is in his fluffy glory. ^^ If you wanna see his suit head it's on his TH!

Overdue owed art for @arleyandtheinkboyz of their character Nyx !! This piece intimidated me for a bit I must admit but I really like how it turned out and it feels great being back in the swing of things. Thanks so much for your kindness and patience!

One of two pieces I did for Art Fight this year xDc Better than nothing, and I had fun! Focused on going with the flow and exploring.

This is my dear friend @mintytrashcannot's character Albert (and his alien dog Spluty)! I felt he seemed like a rather traditionalist guy who would stand by his country's greyscale palette even after color was legalized, so this is kinda meant to highlight that contrast between his natural color and his conservative values

(Hope that makes some kinda sense...the lore is a bit complex)

Hi! I'm afraid I've gotta turn off anon asks for a bit; I'm getting a ton of bot spam. If you're really wanting to be anon feel free to let me know in your ask and I'll censor your name and look away really fast and peak at the message through my fingers
