another (partially) domesticated animal
the tycir are a grazing herd animal that share a common ancestor with ensthirs, despite all differences. they fill a niche similar to camels, able to withstand high temperatures, low water supply and can walk for hours without needing many breaks. their low center of gravity also allows them to traverse uneven terrain.
the blue horns of the tycir are repurposed mandibles that have become fixed into place, which can be used either to fend off predators or to fight for a mate. both males and females possess horns, but a males will be larger and brighter.
tycirs appear giant next to an ensthir, and if ensthirs were human sized would be larger than African elephants, but in reality they are similar in size to a shire horse.
physical features in common with the ensthir include their stripes, but for a good part of their history they never had stripes. it appears they are a recent convergent evolution.
Not sure it you've been asked before but what brushes do you use? Your lineart is so unique and gorgeous
sorry for answering this so late; I tried so hard to find what brush I've been using in Clip Studio, and according to its name it's this one
BUT if I redownload it and use it, it looks completely different to whenever I reset my current brush to default? if I check the settings, there's also nothing I can find that's different aside from the brush size? I don't know remember if I manually messed with it or not. I'm sorry that's not very helpful there.
In Firealpaca, I use 'Analog'
and back to CSP I use this one emulate Analog sometimes

what's your take on ai art
Do you think it'll take over traditional and digital artists :(
How could AI 'art' reasonably take over a commodity which by virtue of its existence is valuable purely for the context by which it's made? Even prior to the AI-surge there existed artists of extraordinary skill and output that simply lacked the artistic and cultural context to give their works the same derived-value as someone less technically-inclined. If technical skill were all that made art valuable to us, we'd have coined it a novelty centuries ago. Image generation will replace a certain category of art: the commercial, the disposable, and nothing more - and that is a monetary downturn for the artist. It's not as though companies, hell, even mid-tiered businesses ever truly lacked the means to buy and fund whatever creative projects they wished to fund prior the burgeoning of AI 'art', and though some have the vanity to try, it never, ever, works - without a discerning vision, they could generate a trillion pretty pictures and lack the eye to pick out the good from the bad between them. The value of art in a purely cultural or contextual sense has never been more significant, if not in direct opposition of this commercialization and laziness.
