they should let you get xrays and mris just cause. i wanna see what my skelinton looks like. i wanna see my organs and shit
This scene from one of the Suicide Squad movies reminded me of team ENA so I had to animate it ✨This drawing helped me a lot with the posing of the shotgun!!
My swimming guy is fully colored. The glowing fin tips were a little difficult but look good. I'm thinking that for ease of animation I won't draw the luminescent scales until they are actually lit up.
The main fear of Darkstalker
I suppose the big reason I prefer to draw a line between steampunk (i.e., taking modern ideas about what a high-tech society ought to look like and projecting them backwards onto an imagined 1890s) and Victorian retrofuturism (i.e., taking what people who actually lived in the 1890s imagined the year 2000 would look like and running with it) is because the second one is typically way more batshit than the first. Steampunk gets you giant robot spiders; Victorian retrofuturism gets you a habitable Lunar surface populated by anthropomorphic bat people. These are both very cool, but the latter has a certain something the former lacks.
1) I've come to the conclusion that fauns and satyrs are basically the same creature, with slight differences in terms of their animal-human ratio, as well as their mythological origins. That said, my question is... is there a specific name for the female of the species?
2) Regarding centaurs: As far as I know, the "centaur" is the name given to a creature that is half-man and half-horse. However, I've seen variations where the animal species varies, for example, lions, deer, dogs, etc. Most of the time, I see that the suffix "taur" is simply added after the animal species to refer to this creature... is this correct? I mean, is this how they are described? Or is there a general name to refer to these types of creatures?
3) This is similar to the first one and is a comparison between sphinxes and manticores... at a detailed level I know they are different but in general terms... are they the same but with different genders? I have seen many sphinx arts and despite the fact that they are different, most are female, while in the case of manticores there is variety between the animal species involved in the design and in the same way they are almost always male, equally between both (sphinxes and manticores) there are similarities. So my question is, are they technically the same? or not?
If you know anything about the subject and can share it with me here, I'd be so grateful. I'm tired of trying to draw characters and wondering what they really are or how to find references, so any help is appreciated.
[If I mentioned or mentioned any fatal errors, I apologize profusely. My interest in creatures is just resurfacing after years of burying it under the bed... that's why I'm here to learn a little more :'3]
A sketch I made of the Nightwing empire as described from the egg hatching peak
wings of fire fandom did we all forget about the strange looking pre-scorching dragons because it’s been over 2 years since TFOH and I have seen NO artwork nor headcannons about Freedom’s mother / the first dragon queen
It's hard to find a good place to put your roos. 50/50 chance for a male, what do you do when you don't need half your flock
So! I went to visit the nice lady with the rooster sanctuary, it seems like a passion project for her and her family. She couldn’t remember exactly which boys were mine, so we looked all over her flock and I couldn’t see any of them! Most likely, unless some were hiding, they all got adopted! So, I still want some more boys in my flock, I took two New Sons home with me instead! They’ll be quarantined in the little coop behind my house for two weeks, but here they are!
I was convinced this was one of mine until I looked more closely at his feet - I thought this was the Favaucana with 5 toes on one foot and four on the other. But, he’s got normal toesies. Still, while the lady was holding him while I looked at the rest of the flock, he started falling asleep in her arms, which was so sweet I decided to take him anyway! I love that beard, and I was hoping for a black rooster!
And this guy! Such a pretty boy, with big sweet eyes, and a gentle demeanor. In this photo, you can see the black roo has a split comb, I actually think it looks awesome and unique even though it’s technically a flaw.
So yeah! Fun stuff! I hope they both grow up to be gentlemen, and that they’ll get along with everyone!
okay it’s come to my attention that absolutely NONE OF YOU know ANYTHING about how cutie marks work. let me say this simply. a cutie mark isn’t a job being assigned, it’s a special TALENT OR SKILL that the pony enjoys. Most of the time it has a directly transferable job for that skill, like if you enjoy baking and are super good at it WOW! baker. If you are really good at writing and telling stories, author. However, there are some cutie marks that could go multiple ways.
twilight sparkle has exceptional magic ability, so she became a scholar, but she could really do anything that required a good magic skill. same with rainbow dash, her weather controlling job isn’t directly linked to her cutie mark, but it does fit the bill for the job.
i was posed the question of what would a murderer pony’s cutie mark be and wouldn’t everyone know. NO. if somehow murder were to be a special skill, the cutie mark might be something like a knife or a shovel. other ponies might just assume you’re good a cooking or gardening. now with cutie marks like apple jacks, their family has a ‘green thumb’ kind of deal so obviously the cutie mark would be hereditary.
so, the reason i made this post. walter white pony’s cutie mark would NOT be blue crystals. it would be a CHEMISTRY FLASK.
I’ve had awful art block lately, but Scarlet has set me free.
My headcanon voice for her is Susan Sarandon’s portrayal of Queen Narissa from Enchanted. It’s perfectly villainous, theatrical, on the deeper side, and has a fittingly raspy quality to it. It helps that many of Narissa’s lines sound exactly like something Scarlet would say. I ended up listening to her lines on loop for the duration of this sketch. Also ended up drawing inspiration from her for Scarlet’s physical appearance as well. They’re both evil queens so it fits.
Final sketch paired with my first iteration. Didn’t give her any jewelry this time around but I’ve got some concepts in the works.
I like Wings of Fire and Cult of The Lamb. I like to animate and I'm still struggling to find my own art style
