Scug time

💕?

Not so jolly co-op

Can you draw FDR and Harry Truman together?

I’m already aware you’re planning something with FDR; on the other hand, Truman should be an artificer because, you know, boom boom.

SPEARMASTER is killed by WORM GRASS

Rant I texted to my friends and feel the need to share:

ArtixGormxRiv is the best rain world ship. Let me explain: You get everything good about Bathbomb, in which the dynamic is two chaotic sillies causing problems on purpose. You get the traits of Seafood, the dynamic is smol and crazy x large and find’s the other’s craziness cute. You get the traits of Barbecue, where the dynamic is traumatized tired and chaotic x calm, caring shoulder to lean on. All in one ship! Many people who like Heartwarm will say the dynamic is the same, but Hunter is almost never characterized as chaotic in the way rivulet is. Rivulet being in the ship makes it lose the ombre effect, but it gains chaotic wholesomeness in the process. In combining the best aspects of their respective ships into a polycule, the vibes triple. In conclusion, Rivulet, Artificer and Gourmand would be in a relationship.

Is there a name for that ship already? If not, @moistrodent has dubbed it hot sauce and I nominate him and myself to be cocaptians of the ship

Day 2: Karmaflower!

AEEEE silly lil guys! Sillies.

AU notes:

They meet when arti is at the end of her genocide and saint is starting his. Artificer saves him from a red lizard and saint develops a crush on her. Arti tells saint that genocide isn't worth it, and leaves you empty and alone. They bond over tragic backstories. Artificer rushes into danger without caring about her wellbeing. Saint takes care of artificer because she doesn't take care of herself

Saint- It/its, Intersex, Lesbian

Artificer- She/her, woman, lesbian

Shipuary calander and more random notes under the cut!

More notes on THEM:

Artificer will do anything to protect saint. Saint will do anything to protect Artifcer.

Saint is cold but caring. He can talk for hours about the cycle and Artificer will just listen lovingly.

Artificer is chaotic and impulsive but has grown older and a little more calm. She still hates scavengers.

Art stuff:

I put a pink screen layer so the colors looked good

Yes I did draw karmaflowers because the ship name is honestly too cute aujbfwjgjsnfjfnsjngj

this ship was hard for me because I don't have a concrete characterization for either scug

My artificer design is missing a leg because i feel like it suits her, and three legged cats can still do parkour.

The gays. I am eating all of your art.

i have an ear infection for some fucking reason and i was in a doctors office for FOUR HOURS

AU info dump guys! Its called 'robot roommates' and its just entirely artihunter and roadrage (My ship name for pebblesxsunsxnsh ) shipping fuel. Might be a comic someday?

Pebbles collapses, so he goes over to sun's place (because he just absolutely hates NSH, and he aint gonna talk to moon), but suns also collapses, so they have to go live with NSH. Thus, the roommate part. Wacky gay crap ensues.

Suns and pebbles where not on speaking terms for awhile, but they haven't talked in forever so suns is more surprised than mad when pebbles shows up. Aside from that, suns has bee inspiration because I said so.

NSH bullies pebs. He's funny and silly and also a gamer. The scarf does not adhere to the laws of physics. When pebs and suns arrive, he welcomes them with a "Whats up, bitches?" and then suns chuckles and blushes a little, and then pebsi gets angry at NSH.

Hunter got his cancer cured! He and artificer are dating, and they live with NSH. Hunter is a chill little silly. I love. Scars are from various missions he's been on

Arti now lives with hunter and NSH. She's wearing a karma flower that hunter gave her on their first date. Its the thought that counts. She's still a bit aggressive, and she's a rather effective guard dog. Or Guard cat? Guard scug?

Bingy is a slugpup modified by NSH to be able to survey what's going on outside without getting hurt. Bingy has a prehensile tail and can jump really high. Fae are the adopted child of Artificer and hunter.

Spearmaster is here too. Their a silly little SCP looking bean, who came with suns and now just kind of chills. Pastelmaster is a vibe, truly. :)

arti shenanigans

Artificer with a baguette

I rly like it so I made 2 more versions:

Transparent

Fancy

Hey wanna see how I used to draw slugcats?

I drew this back in 2023. It's not the worst thing ever for drawing scugs for the first time ig...

There is also this scug.

And

Artificer with a baguette

Sorry for being gone guys the hyperfixation took control :(

Anyways 5 PEBBLES AND ARTIFICER FANART!!!

Did it digitally from a drawing I made on an assignment lol, also did it in Procreate for once instead of Ibis since it was lin class and I had no access to my animation tablet lol :3

Also Arti is bit further behind Pebs thats why they are smaller than usual when actually compared to Pebbles

Speedpaint below

You guys need to know. those are my first slugcat desgins/doodles I have ever made (from like?? a year ago?). I need to archive them

I am fully aware that Rivulet looks like his bootleg toy on the last one

And a more advanced line-up. but. What even is this Enot

I am super happy with what they are now and how much they grew on me though... sobs

In RoF AU, Arti is more nuanced than just straight-up evil and follows a trope of "did a terrible thing and realized too late that it was terrible so now regrets are eating them up from the inside but they can't do anything about it and have to live through this personal hell", but I will still make fun of her

girl /gender neutral

the cycle

I swear I'm cooking up something evil for this au but for now it's shitpost hours enjoy Saint-Arti shenanigans AU discord here

(reupload bc I was bothered by the format + forgor about some tags)

Lyrics are from "Windmills of your mind"

That song hit HARD in the context of Rain World and its messed up cycles and ripples, Watcher content be upon ye (also I recommend checking out its lyrics in full, they're insane)

If you're interested in my anthro AU check out this post here

Since I've been playing the Artificer campaign recently (badly), scavengers have been on the brain. I know the AU mostly focuses on the slugcats themselves, but what are the scavs like? Are they similarly enlightened to stuff related to the Benefactors? Or are they just doing their own thing and interacting with the scugs like a friendly neighboring nation or summat?

Mostly doing their own thing, and yes - they also dug up and stole a bunch both from Ancients' knowledge and what they left behind physically. Funnily enough, I think they're far ahead in their "reasearch" comparing to Slugcats and quickly realized that whatever the Ones Before were doing doesn't really apply to the reality they're living in right now, so to Slugcats they might even appear a bit weird and like they don't care about the sacred past of those lands.

While whatever Slugcats learnt about the Ancients was spread by word of mouth and was full of speculation, Scavenger's system of living in more organized, bigger groups with larger, hidden settlements scattered throughout the land made it way easier for them to both have more more unified outlook on things AND shape their own, unique identity. That's why, alongside simple drawings, I also gave them theater as characteristic way of creating art in their culture and decided on highlighting that pearls would work as currency to them more than just a more valuable trade object. Slugcats' culture and group identity is, in contrast, really fluid. Sure, they have things like shelter-usage savoir-vivre, drawing, sharing stories with other nomads when crossing paths, but all of it is overshadowed by the idolization of the mysterious, past residents of the earth they walk on now.

The biggest problem Scavs and Slugs have is the fact that they were mostly avoidant of each other and the language barrier is probably a big obstacle. Moreover, to Scavengers, a Slugcat would probably be way scarier than a Lizard or a Vulture - they know that the intentions of the latter are simple, to just hunt and eat. Slugcats are smarter, possibly cunning WAY more unpredictable strangers, which makes them a way bigger, potential threat. The only means of communication they have is either by trade, body language or simple Ancient symbols (all the karma + passage ones most likely) they both are familiar with.

So yeah - mostly neighborhood nation that doesn't want anyone to meddle in their buisness and they won't meddle in others', but when it comes to friendliness... Yeah that varies. Communication between the Scavenger settlements is top notch, so if one Scav saw a Slugcat acting like a vicious beast to them (or, on a more positive note, saved them from a Lizard or something) - all the other, nearby Scavs WILL know about that sooner all later.

And we have one particular, funny Slugcat lady that went a bit too overboard.

Yeah basically the Outer Expanse slugcats didn't visit the terrains near 5P and LTTM for a longer while after this incident worrying that their presence may be not too comfortable for the neighbors that'd need the time to heal.

reminder that this AU has both a tag here and a DC server

Finished all "references" for the anthro Scugs/Rhythm of Falls AU since it has a name now. Also - they come with a full list of names and pronouns because I got attached to my headcanons. You can find all content related to the AU under #rwrof au tag.

Taking on the common approach of pinching the timeline so they all can meet and interact with each other during their lifetimes, moreover - some of the scugs get familiar bonds that weren't in game (guess who based on my shipping preferences and design traits)(hard /j)

I plan to post a family tree soon enough + I have *some* ideas floating around in my head about them all and possible canon timeline for this AU but it's still very unstable and rough. If you have any questions/drawing requests for those guys, feel free to send them my way! It'd be super cool to dwell on this AU more and would serve as a huge motivation kick.

I always somehow imagined anthropomorphized Rivulet as a very gnc guy and it stuck to me + the moustache is one of my favourite design decisions from the whole lineup.

Couldn't bring myself to separate Upturned and Fallen so now we're going in groups of threes

Also, just noticed that Enot's/Upturned's full name got messed up in the process (fitting) - the full is "Crack of Shells, Nine Colors Upturned"!

Monk/Shine is still the younger sibling, but this time - not the smaller one! I really wanted to imagine him as a "gentle giant" sort of deal.

+ he matches with his sibling when it comes to the zebra pattern sleeve.

While wating for the poll to conclude I wanted to draw something with those designs!!! Barbecue for the win

Also I wanted to start giving them ancient-adjacent names for fun and have "Two Pearls, Endless Ringing" for Artificer and "Share of Warmth, Hands United" for Gourmand!!! Ik that the canon naming system is focused more on objects than sounds and feelings, but I don't want to limit myself and give them something that actually fits their vibe. I have all of the scugs named and will probably include those with the refs soon to come, Hunter and Riv will have to wait until I make a final lineup... Or draw something separate with them

Check out #rwrof au tag for more content with those designs

Hear me out.

Artificer and her new ugly son

Finally finished my take on the slugcat designs from Rain World!! I love those fellas dearly (yes all made in ms paint)

Close-ups here:

"They would be friends" I think I changed my mind. Go barbecue

^ Me when I love my wife but she lowkey a genocidal pyromaniac stuck in the circle of bloodshed and violence (drawn over that one evil dog-scared dog meme)

I think they would be friends

I got back to playing rain world lately, I love exploding cats and women's wrongs A bit of an exploration of Arti's shapes in my style
