Quick N’ Messy Shading Experiment With Buddy Who Was Designed By My Pal @kaleidoprismatic ! ^^

More Bill and YV PLEASE I'm obsessed

Always happy to provide, anon! Here are some unseen sketches from The Archives™

First post in a thing my buddy Minty and I are doing! Check out our sideblog if you're interested in more content about gay triangles. Much love!

Starting things off kinda reverse-chronologically here with triangle husbands on their way to work! This is post- marriage arc at the tail end of the timeline.

Y.V. owns the company Big Bizniz Inc. and Bill has gotten the full nepotism treatment with a job as head of sales (manipulating people is right up his alley!). Neither work super hard nor do they need to considering Venuz's near infinite wealth, but sometimes it's nice to play businessmen and show off a little. Well, okay, show off a lot. They're the worst lmao

Dunno what to draw so just trying to keep productive with even more refs. This is Clay and he's my angsty lumberjack boy 🥺 He's a hybrid between a bat-eared fox and a black-headed python

It's possible I might be on hiatus for a bit, things are really bad at home right now but I'd like to try and keep a sense of normalcy so who knows, maybe I'll keep posting just for that. Much love ^^

ANTHRO SILVERFISH WHO I LOVE SO SO MUCH 🥺🥺🥺

They're the only insect I see regularly while I'm stuck in the city and every time I do I squeal like a little girl they're SO frikin cute. yes lil creature you absolutely CAN live in my apartment and eat my hair

The bats of Pokémon through the eyes of a bat nerd (who also used no references so they're a tiny bit iffy)

Forgot to bring my tablet so I'm playing with dad's rainbow markers and pens. I kinda dig it actually but my phone cannot take proper photos of them lol

Nerdy stuff about design choices and lots of bat facts under the cut if you're interested in that!

Zubat is mainly modelled after Vespertillionidae and Natalidae species, inheriting both families' pointy faces and dense fur that often covers their eyes, making them appear blind (except zubat actually is blind). Their wings are broad, more akin to a Megadermatidae species, which was just a choice based off of the original design. Broader wings allow for increased manoeuvrability at the cost of speed in real species. Their legs are long and spindly, another trait borrowed from Natalidae.

Golbat still has zubat's woolly fur to keep its rounded appearance but has narrower wings as well as stumpy ears and a large mouth, all traits gleaned from free-tailed bats, the latter a trait specifically of the genus Otomops. They really do look like that sometimes yes. Its large feet are borrowed from the fish-eating myotis (Myotis vivesi) who frankly has even bigger feet than this guy. Bats are wacky lol

Crobat has a mostly furred face similar to Pteropid, Rhinolophid or Phyllostomid bats. Its ears are more fantasy and not modelled after any existing species. I had hairy-tailed bats of the genus Lasiurus on the mind while interpreting the little tufts on its bum, here they're meant to be fluff hanging off the uropatagium. It has very narrow wings similar to Molossid bats, and it fits for such a speedy Pkmn! (Fun fact: a Molossid bat was the fastest recorded vertical flight of any animal)

Woobat is inspired by Desmodus species, more commonly known as vampire bats. While their cousins the Honduran white bat (Ectophylla albus) is more commonly the interpretation, I chose Desmodus instead for its flat, heart-shaped noses and similar dental structure. The excess in fur is more attributed to the same families as in zubat, but with some more Lasiurine influence.

Swoobat's choice in inspiration was pretty obvious to me at first: the heart-nosed bat (Cardioderma cor)! The furred face and ears joined at the base is indeed inspired by Megadermatid bats but otherwise it has probably the most mixed influences of all these designs. I once again took the flat, heart-shaped nose from Desmodus species like I did with its pre-evo, and then its tail was adapted from Rhinopoma species (fittingly known as mouse-tailed bats!) as well as Molossid (free-tailed) bats. From an entirely nerdy perspective swoobat is easily my favorite, it really highlights a lot of chiropteran diversity whether intentional or not.

Noibat has joined ears like swoobat, inherited from Megadermatid bats (and sometimes Molossids) and is the first to have an actual nose-leaf, partially influenced by trident bats of the genus Asellia. I was kind of imagining that the bare patch between the tufts of black fur were present because they housed scent glands like in Emballonurid (sac-winged) bats who have similar bald patches. (I don't know a ton about Emballonurid bats unfortunately, so I'm not sure whether this is a family-wide occurrence or attributed to certain genii, lol. If anybody knows feel free to tell! I think some Molossids have scent glands too so heck throw them in as well)

Noivern is easily the most fantastical of the bunch, more dragon than bat, but it wouldn't feel right not to include him. He's got the same design choices on the face that its pre-evolution has (joined ears and nose-leaf) but otherwise doesn't have any more specific influences in batty terms. However, I turned the tragus into that little protrusion under the ear of the original design which I thought was kind of clever ;)

Almost forgot to upload abjdfhgb belated Art Fight revenge and just general thank you for my buddy @kaleidoprismatic !! <3 Slowly working past my fear of backgrounds. :p

I’m away from my tablet so I’m having to draw on my iPad and I DON’T LIKE IT >:(

On the bright side, putting Glep in funny cat photos is extremely funny

Wow, haven’t drawn one of my own fellows in a while! Too many varying forms of brain rot. This is Skylark and I lobe him and my bat buddy plumbeach made him and I hope you like him too 🥺

Pines Pile | early 2019

Another crosspost since this seemed to be pretty popular on DeviantArt! Thanks to my buddy Kat for the perfect title. :D

One of my favorites just for how sweet it is. I cannot get enough Pines cuddles!

Original description under the cut. <3

“A remake of an old piece of mine that I loved the concept but kinda hated the outcome of, haha. There are few things I love in this world more than Pines cuddles, so it's a more personal piece to me. And yeah I know that's kinda weird considering they're not my characters but pff but what can I say, I love these guys. It was nice to go back to cel-shading again for a bit, quite interesting! I did however give in near the end and cover like the entire thing with a free cloth texture though because I was getting sick of working on it, evident by the background, which is, uh, not great, but hey, it's presentable for the most part! Plus, I'm tired of not posting, haha. I noticed when I was finishing this up that this is kind of similar to an old piece by Archervale. This was totally unintentional, my apologies!”

Hey, I'm still alive! Have yet another ref 'cause Art Fight is coming up real soon 👀

This is my girl Deti and I won her in a huge contest a few years back; she's so pretty and so nice to draw and I just adore her. She was in need of a clearer ref so !! Here you are girlie :D
