The autistic grind never stops. I have had an obsession with origins for years and now y'all have to deal wit my uber autism

Also the reason for the eyestrain cws in the tags is because the TransGoolien flag I originally made much more eyestrain-y

It's below the cut so warning for that

Fuck it. Reblog this with a photo of your f/o and I'll assign them a slug/snail or beetle. You heard me.

(Obviously warnin for this whole thing: if you don't like bugs then yk. You might not wanna check this out, sorry bout that mate </3)

Edit: I think I'm gonna go ahead n close this

Anyways here's these fuckass cats 4 compensation

a meeting of creatures…

Im so tired right now I just got home from a trip and took ten pictures of a cicada molt banban save me

(Image ID: Five pictures of a cicada nymph molt at different angles)

More happened there but this is the most important thing

Ok they look angry but its ok cause i just realized how weird the original arthroid looked. Fucked him up fr 😭. Why's he got a butt for a face

Whatever they're getting the chicken treatment now. I might spread the legs out a little far to not be directly under them like how most birds do but i gotta figure out how that will translate into their humanoid look. The thigh gap might be crazy

Anywho heres a slight update. It's still in the works BUT the mandibles actually look like mandibles!! Yayya! I used trap jaw ants for reference cause they do what their name says, they have a lock mechanism!

I ❤️💞 MAKING CRAP UP!

This is near incomprehensible so I'll try cleaning it up soon ^^

At last, the arthroids don't look as stupid. I also might rename them to Parvae. I also made them look kind of cute so ima fix that. They don't get that.

Fun fact: these are the two extremes of the spectrum! Lots of Parvae are some variation between these two extremes, as many are also hermaphrodites or are actively transitioning from one sex to the other. How does that work? Don't ask me that. I'd like to imagine the sometimes random transitioning is the bane of their breeders' existence.

Any critique from more knowledgeable spec bio artists is also appreciated!

Finally finished it! Anatomically "accurate" Sebastian!

(Image ID: Sebastian Solace from the game Pressure. He is much more realistic and fishlike. His head takes inspiration from a blue whale, silver spinyfin, anglerfish, sea snake, and other miscellaneous animals. His torso mostly human, save for the blue coloration and the three more sets of arms right above where his thighs would be. His naga tail has three more sets of armoured legs, and coils around in a snake fashion, terminating in a whale tail. End ID)

References and extra under the cut!

(Image ID: The same image but with multiple animal photos in the background. They are of a:

Blue whale,

Anglerfish,

Spinyfin,

Great White,

Sea snake,

And two mantis shrimp, one ventral and one dorsal. End ID)

(Image ID: Three headshots of Sebastian. The lowest middle one is the biggest. He has a neutral expression and his head is tilted slightly upright, showcasing the reptilian scales that make up his skin. The upper right one is him gently smiling with his eyes creased, while the upper left one is him enraged and screaming. End ID)

I have wanted to see a tiger beetle larva my entire life, but never did until @revretch suddenly spotted one scurrying around by the river yesterday. They normally spend all their time hiding in a tunnel like a trap door spider, so I never thought I'd see one out and about in broad daylight! I recognized the big, flat head and the little hump on its back instantly!

Just noticed this diagram has it hunting a velvet ant....can they really do that? Are they THAT tough???

I also wasn't sure they could be raised easily, because I heard they're particular about the density and moisture level of the sand they tunnel into. What if it was running around because the sand wasn't quite right in that spot?! I scooped some up anyway, and I used a twig to poke holes in it, just to see if MAYBE it'd deem one a suitable house. The next morning I found it like you see in the following video, and I wondered if it felt comfortable enough to eat the way it does in the wild, so in the clip I also drop a pantry moth caterpillar into the jar:

Other funny guys from the same clade as Parvae!

Goo Goo Ga Ga

New lethal company monster best monster from day one I always thought we needed a sad fetus baby in the game and we have one now

Bonus points for it being gross maggot

I'll draw it

New ideas for the Headsplitters incoming! I was thinking there would sort of be different breeds with different abilities occupying Earth. I have no idea what I'm doing but it's a lot of fun!

In the meantime I realized I never showed the (outdated but still useful) lore here so here's the full guide!

The only thing that's outdated here so far is the art and the fact the nonhuman headsplitters are called Arthroids (they're Parvae now) , so you can read it and be up to date! They are an extremely adaptable and diverse race for the purpose of people making their own ocs with them!

a moth landed on my platform thursday afterschool, thought it was neat, might turn it into a playlist cover lol

He's like both parts of The Mummy, Brendan Frasier and the bugs.

Meyer Leopold Duvall, local Madam Tussad's exhibit, thousands of insects in a trench coat, and a human male who looks like shit.

i got my friends who don’t listen to tma to guess which didn’t happen from a list and i love how nobody questioned worm sex but they questioned beetle wife

Tiny disgruntled wet kitten Maul with his Daemon...

vegans making honey a bee labour issue is the funniest thing imaginable because like, you picked the one animal that has already unionised

(Actual bugs under the cut, CW for insects)

Aaaa thank you!! They all look great! And I love your interpretation of Navaji! :)
