Hey Y'all, I'm Not Dead, Just Lacking In Time At The Moment. Hope To Get Back To Making Renders And Making

Hey y'all, I'm not dead, just lacking in time at the moment. Hope to get back to making renders and making fursuit progress sometime next week.

Hey opinions on Skull-headed people?

So, what in particular do you mean by 'Skull-headed people?

If you mean normal 'skull-headed people', that includes like all people who have skulls, which is like all of them. That's a bit too much of a generalization.

If you mean like Skull dogs/skull-species, I think those guys are cute if not a slight bit disconcerting at first. I haven't met one, but I've heard of them.

If you mean cryptids like wendigos, my opinion is "AVOID". Unless somehow it's friendly, which i think is super low odds but who knows.

If I missed what you meant, feel free to clarify.

Rescue

I wrote a bit of a story for this art piece below:

Driving in the night, Civ tried his best to leave the town of Echo, but no amount of driving on the old rural highway seemed to get him any farther from the ghost town. The truck's headlights illuminated the road ahead, and the moon lit up the terrain which never seemed to change.

Exhaustion brought Civ to a halt. Pulling to the side of the road, paranoia of the strange creature came back to him, but at this rate, he knew it'd either get him or he'd drive off the road. Neither were desirable options.

Pulling to the side of the highway, the truck engine turned off. Civ took a moment to enjoy the silence of the desert night, the only solace he had for a moment. He looked around, scanning the horizon for the gangly creature he had seen. FInding nothing, he decided to step out of the vehicle to relieve himself, at least giving himself an additional feeling of comfort.

As he stepped out, his heart froze. He looked around frantically until his eyes nailed onto a figure in the distance.

Tall, gangly, with long arms and long legs, a burned body and horrible visage of only three holes where its face should be, the figure stood only a few hundred feet down the highway.

Civ froze, staring at the creature. A moment later it seem to both teleport and vanish as well as shoot towards him. He raised his arms in a flinch.

Instead of the sound of his own flesh being rended, he heard a flash of sparks and thwip noise like a cord being cinched. He opened his eyes, peeking between his raised arms to see the remains of a portal falling and a tall, white-furred cat raising a magical barrier made of violet and magenta light. In its cone sat the halted but still moving creature, its burned skin lit up horrifically in the magical light.

"Lye!" Civ exclaimed.

The feline did not respond, focusing entirely on holding back the creature. She reached down with a hand, waving it into another incantation. Her hand shot forward, blasting an intense wave of violet energy at the creature, blasting it backwards down the highway a hundred feet.

The magical barrier fell, and Lye turned to Civ. He could finally see her glowing red eyes, and could feel her anger even from ten feet away. She approached him at a sprint, the creature in the distance standing back up.

Civ held his hands up, expecting the cat to claw him, but she instead grabbed one of his raised paws, her claws sinking in only slightly. A moment later, she pulled a scroll from her coat and gripped it, making it erupt in magenta flames.

As the scroll burned, Civ saw the creature in the distance vanish again, and he braced for it to appear next to them.

Instead, the world went violet with another snapping noise.

As the light died down, his eyes adjusted, and Civ found himself in the warmly-lit living room of his home. Lye still stood with glowing eyes, but no creature appeared in his sight. The eyes of his feline friend slowly died down to their normal selves, but an intense anger was still roiling in them.

"CIV!" she began.

She didn't continue as he pulled her into a hug. The otter gripped hard and shook, both shock and fear making it hard for Civ to remain standing. The typically-touch averse Lye let him hold on and she held him from falling down.

"You owe me."

Thank you note:

Thanks all for reading! I thought this piece deserved a bit of a write-up to go with it, to kinda explain my thought process with Civ trying to leave Echo after some exploration (AKA: Tumblr Asks, thanks to everyone who pushed along the little narrative I had going).

The asks I had gotten helped create a fun little narrative, and I enjoyed the ride quite a lot. I hadn't intended to make a self-insert story with Echo, and had just kinda joked with the first post about Echo. It had just meant to be a piece of fanart but it went way farther than I expected since then. That original post is currently my most popular post, and I'm sure many of you guys found my little art spot due to it, so I appreciate everyone who started there and followed me as I made more and more art and pieces.

This is an interesting AU, where both the events of Echo occurred, but also happen in a world where magic and stuff like the Socket Head Man would be more likely to exist. It probably has a few issues with how stuff interacts and definitely raises questions, but it's a fun setting to be in.

This isn't the end in any way. I still intend to make fanart of Echo as well as other stuff, but just note that any further asks supposing of Civ being in Echo will be met with a confused response as he has escaped Echo thanks to Lye (and a bit of powerful outside magic). Tho who knows, Civ's a bit dumb and may try and go back thinking he's 'prepared' and intends to explore more.

I also aim to put a pause on it here so I can properly make my way through more of Echo's endings, as well as get into Arches and The Smoke Room.

Thanks again to everyone who's reblogged and liked my stuff! I promise many more renders in the future!

Hey how fast is your speed on water & land

So I haven't like scientifically measured it or anything, but I can give you my most recent approximate times.

I'm still working on it, but my land-speed time (AKA, just my current mile time) is about 10 minutes for a mile (so approximately 6 mph). Pretty slow, but hey, what do you expect from an otter? These legs aren't made for running.

Swim time though, I'm not actually a super fast swimmer. I'd say pretty average, but nowhere near, like, competition times. I'm really trying to be an endurance swimmer. I typically can swim about 1200 yards in half an hour or less on shorter workouts, so about 1.4 mph, but what I actually try and go for long swims, aiming for 2,500 yards in an hour.

I don't do sprints, but comparing to Olympic swimmers who do them, they go about 4.5 mph in a sprint that lasts about 25 seconds across 50 meters. Maybe I should try a few sprints and see how bad I am compared to Olympians, lol.
