THIS SET UP?

Reblogging because I am thinking about them again. I need to start writing again

ALEK has the ability to switch between different consciousness- their own singular mind or the collective mind of the mycelium that runs through her body and through everything else, should he choose to connect to it. This comes with amazing capabilities like being able to heal robots by replacing bygone parts with living and learning mycelium to help connect things once again, or being able to locate water accurately from thousands of miles away, and even being able to extract oil. But the trade off is that when Alek enters that state, there’s no telling when the collective consciousness will relinquish control back to the singular mind, and they can sometimes become lost in that state for years. Another trade off is that sometimes the mycelium overruns his own neuro-pathways, so when she comes back to himself, Alek can sometimes have whole chunks of memory missing. To combat this they tattoo everything they feel is significant and contributes to who they are as a person on their body in mirror writing, so they can read it even when she wakes up alone. ROOSTER was designed to be a mobile meteorologist station. He was meant to travel long distances in inclement weather to gather readings and data so that the world could best prepare for natural disasters. He was one of 6 like him. He remembers his siblings very well and wonders about them, though he has trouble remembering much else. He navigates via starlight at night, like a dung beetle. But recently (the last thousand years) he’s been lost and confused. (His inner clock and compass are broken). When he finds the oasis, basically on accident, he meets Alec who immediately starts on repairs. To repay him, Rooster stays near the Oasis and provides protection and assists with running it. Rooster is 20 stories tall, Alek is 8 ft 1

Time to play Invertober catchup…day 6, Mexican red knee tarantula! I may have cheated and reused some of my old lineart, but all terrestrial tarantulas are pretty much the same shape ;)

So one of my tweets kinda blew up. :v

Day 10 - Perfect organism

Tip jar

couldnt draw my thang for mid-autumn so treated myself to a calne redesign instead

Making a game about bugs :] this account is for sharing progress related to that and to share the pixel bugs I'm making along the way. This is a sfw space for people who want to follow along with this project or just enjoy looking at bug art :)

Premise of game:

- Turn game on

- bugs come :]

- add new bugs to your collection

- time advances automatically, different bugs come depending on at time/date/ temperature/weather/biome, use bait or light to attract different types

- let bugs run in the background and keep u company while u work

- over 500 different bugs :] maybe more depending on how silly I get with it
