I was absolutely trollied, I did not feel it one bit.

That'd be super cool! :0 I have a few skulls and a few other miscellaneous bones - though I've not expanded my collection in a while as well,, I've been at uni and the skulls stay at home haha.
Preservation and taxidermy is definitely an art form.

Yeah, I'm not about that LMAO

Oh, hm, that's interesting. Have you ever tried non mint flavoured/scented tooth paste-?

And sure, I'm pretty busy today, but at the end of the day let me know if you still need a hand haha, I'm sure you'll probably figure something out in the meantime!

XD That's great, must've sucked in the moment though XD

I have some bones I extracted from owl pellets in a bag in my room that I'd love to turn into art. I think that's so cool, death and stuff like that can be really beautiful if you look at it in the right way :3

That's fair, I'm probably on a few watch lists XD

It's not so much the brushing part but the smell and spitting out part, I find it disgusting. I also can't stand the smell of mint

Fair, anything helps at this point XD

There's a video of me getting slapped in the face on youtube somewhere 😭 full force. God knows what else is out there

Haha, I can understand that!

See, I find a lot of it interesting. I'm all for vulture culture, preserving skulls, all that. I've got collected roadkill buried in my garden 'n all, the skulls are cooking.

Though, when it comes to looking for references online, I prefer to be more careful with what I'm looking up.

Brushing their teeth-? That'd a new one haha.

Hm, I see. I could show you what I'd do, but I can't say it'd be 100% accurate haha.

XD Now I wish I could find those because that sounds hilarious XD Luckily there's no videos of my dumbass out there...as far as I'm aware XD

I wish I didn't, but alas my dumbass brain does it anyways ;-; XD

See, I'm the kid who always wanted to bring in roadkill to dissect it and would watch an open-heart surgery while eating a steak, like I swear unless it's puke or someone brushing their teeth, I have a gut of steel XD

I tried looking at zombies but it wasn't quite right, see what I'm trying to do is make it look like that design I've been showing you, I'm trying to make it look like it's starting to rot and decay. But zombies are usually pretty far gone where the flesh is peeling off of the bones vs just beginning to eat away at things

I'd kill to hear that XD Sounds absolutely amazing! I have my American northern accent, classic american right there, and then I get myself an eastern KY accent (I blame the lead in my highschool musicals >.> XD) And then I can get a british accent and every now and then a random Scottish accent makes an appearance

12:40:20 ET

Reaper
Luckily I was always too drunk to be embarrassed but there are some funny videos of me out there, absolutely trashed speaking in an *awful* French accent, lamenting that I forgot how I usually spoke 😭

Haha, apparently it's not too uncommon! Some people are just more susceptible to accents than others. I don't get it whilst watching shows, but I do when travelling to other countries/speaking to my friends.

Haha, yeah, I guess it can be called squeamish. I like to be sensible about what I expose myself to online. I feel no desire to know how to accurately draw degraded human flesh - an artistic estimation works just fine for me!
Could always try looking at zombie designs too - they'll probably be handy here.

Britain* ET don't yell at me I'm trying my best

12:38:47 Stray, LT | H/H

Kryuk,

Watching "Hell's Kitchen" is always a nightmare. Especially because an American English accent is the only accent I can mimic without a trace of a Russian accent. So a British accent sounds like a donkey that was born in Siberia desperately trying to fit into Great Britan

Lmao, that sounds hilarious XD I'm watching Dahmer and there's an episode with a deaf person, and they have a very particular dialogue which, just from watching the show, I'm noticing how even the way I phrase things here is changing to try and mimic that. The speed in which I'm typing and formulating thoughts is weird too. Just an odd thing about my brain I suppose

XD Valid, I'm glad you're having a good time

I almost forgot that you're a tad squeamish XD I'll have to go try to find that, there aren't many tutorials on how to color rotting flesh, texturize the art to make it look like that, which, valid, but also it's frustrating XD Thanks! :D

Another updoot! here's the concept I'm working on next... settled on a wing pose I really liked.

I want:

-Something that blends into the wolf's fur
-High contrast wings that still match the wolf art style & lighting

-so many feathers

WIP Picture:

I'm almost saved up for submitting the concept when it's done :3
6 apples saved, 4 to go!

I think I'll make the first color available for (basically) free at 1 mush like the lineart, and some other variants maybe in different colors with effects, we'll see :thinking:

Updoot: Thank you to everyone who helped me figure things out and supported the project, even the quiet lurkers ;D

The first custom gear is live! Enjoy a basically-free upgrade to lineart on any wolf you wish. (1 mush cost in the Customs section of Barter)

Based on feedback and the polling, looks like next on my list are some wings, and then fun tattoo designs and/or special effects :3 we'll see what comes out~!

I need to take some time to do commissions again for a while to save up more mush and apples, but mroe art is on its way muahuahhaa!

Gauging interest, and still learning about custom gear.

i'd like to make cool stuff for us to decorate our wolves with xP

My question: What would you most love to see?

(Please don't dm me about my art unless it's about hiring/sponsoring a custom gear art item. What's in my art shop is what's available, if it's open.)

Here are two concepts as examples of what i do. Please note that neither of these are finished- the one with hair extensions hasn't had any shading done at all, only the blocking for where I want things to go, etc.

"Lineart & shadow enhancement" this one is specifically for the sad and under loved Omega Female pose. I LOVE this pose. I am big sad that it is rendered funny so many genes display oddly. So here's a black lineart and shadow overlay to tweak it to match more of the other gameplay styles, like the lovely Alpha male/female.

what i call "locks enhancement" (or fur i suppose but your dealing with a primarily horse artist so here we go xD)- hair extensions and well blended add-ons like cool tails.

Please don't dm me about my art unless it's about hiring/sponsoring a custom gear art item. I'll lose track. Comment on the thread here, please.

BF is definitely my least favourite pose, this lineart enhances it so much! Would love to see that in-game.

The wings are really cool also, I like the tassles falling from it!

Welp, woohoo! The first custom gear submission is submitted, we'll see if they like it or not xP

Final concept for the lineart enhancement (which I'm prepared to do on -all- the poses [even though the Alphas really need nothing XD]) has been submitted, eee~!

And here's what it looks like on a plain Slate Pelt wolf:

(Before)

(After-- ignore the "before" woopsie XD I forgot to delete that layer ope)

excited squeaks

I did end up adding some faint highlights, because I realized the Beta pelts -don't- often include their own highlights for fur texture D: so this makes it pop on both dark coats and light ones alike, now.
