Development sketches. I ended up with two designs I'd like to start working more with, the big quadrupedal lads and the smaller bipedal guys.
The bipeds (duck goats?) are an ostrich sized animal that have short raptor-like forearms and a pair of highly modified rear limbs, which form a pouch for immature young in females and function like shark claspers in males. When their young get too...
Still mostly been doing writing this month, but here's some I can actually share.
So, I've been plotting out history in RttS and things finally got complicated enough that I was forced to put everything on an actual calendar timeline. I had avoided doing this beforehand because I typically don't give things I'm writing about Official Numbers unless absolutely necessary (ironically t...

Recently I have been spending most of my time doing writing and editing for the RttS book, which is good! Need to get that done! But it's under NDA (and not visually impressive either way). When I haven't been doing that I've been fretting over the current Almost Real crowdfunding campaign and fooling around with fountain pens.
My friend Deadwood Dross infected me with their pen ob...
Zoom in, spot all the creatures! Check out those train organs!
I'm glad I finally got some time to finish this, if only I had time to work on rough pages for the project again... (I am still doing RttS rough pages, wheeze). The first 100 rough pages of Terranaut are still available in the pinned post on my page, if you haven't read them.
I've got another short comic WIP I want to sh...

I have been procrastinating on things by drawing little comics like these. Been fooling around with Idrisah's character more because of scenes I'm currently writing in the book.
1: Idrisah's Tiiliitian handwriting vs Sirawit's. Sirawit picked up hearts from human culture. They dot their Latin alphabet "i"s with hearts sometimes too.
2: The signatures of the main 4 ladies.

This time around we're going for a woven patch and an antique gold diestruck enamel pin for the crowdfunding campaign rewards. The dark yellow color in the patch will be gold in the final product. These were both kind of a pain in the butt to design this time around, I think I got a little overambitious with them. But I think they turned out really good! I'm looking forward to being able to add...

Working on assets for the next speculative biology magazine. The theme is mythology so I used it as an excuse to draw funny medieval marginalia scuds.

Been busy with RttS book stuff and Almost Real stuff this month, sorry for slowing down on posts here. Did some quick diagrams for the avian family tree and hybridization. I need to draw the 7 viable hybrid combinations at some point, though Sirawit counts for the flightless/skimmer combo, lol. The map depicts the approximate native ranges of the species (pre-industrial age, basically)

I was hoping to have more of this comic done before I posted the WIP, but I've been too busy with book comics/story writing. I decided I wanted to color this strip so I'll probably post a WIP of that later this month (hopefully).
Also, it turns out the onion chemical weapon can dissolve in oil as well as water. It's either Talita's thick eye cuticle or alien biochemistry that's saving her...

Finally trying to figure out specific scripts for these two languages because I don't want the text in the background of this book to be gibberish. I'm terribly out of practice, the last time I did anything serious with conlang was in highschool. Nb4 someone asks, yes I did go back and add IPA, it's just that I don't have it memorized and it's so difficult to read that it's useless to me for fa...

I've been in kind of a funk lately and spending way too much of my time banging my head against these cycles.
Turii, Sirawit, Gillie, Idrisah, and Shyam are all 24 fps now, Shyam's tail is curled (it makes a little more sense for a bipedal walk) and Talita's gait pattern is fixed (it was unstable before). I'm currently pulling my hair out over the rest of Talita's animation, because chang...

Trying to animate Brownie and confirming that bug ferret walk cycles are very difficult, especially from this angle. In addition to annoying limb foreshortening, getting Brownie to feel like they have a convincing weight is tricky-- it's hard to find suitable reference for their body type. Crocodiles are basically as close as I'm gonna get, but they're not hexapods so the body torsion is differ...

It's about time I animated more avians. And also, a regular human walk cycle. I have to figure out what's going on with their limbs before I drape fabric all over them, though.
Turii walks like an angry little dog.
