Here’s My ArtFight :)

I’ve decided to make an alternate acc for posting art unrelated to speculative science, go follow me there if you’re interested in seeing fanart and cats! :)

Years ago I had a dream I went to a store and they were selling homemade icecream labelled “lesbian” and I still wonder if it was made by lesbians, for lesbians or out of crushed lesbian remains

Y’know when you meet someone who likes the same character as you, and you’re not sure whether you want to stand over the character, growling and bearing your teeth, like an animal protecting its kill, or chant at the sky with joy like you’re praising the gods for bringing two kindred souls together to share the passion and devotion to a being of fiction

It is a curious predicament, indeed

here’s a quick illustration of the writing system!

Question about the snailiens, have they developed any textiles? If so, what are they made from?

Apologies for such a delayed response to your question!

Snailiens typically don't wear fabric clothing in their daily lives, except for special occasions. Instead, they utilize a native plant called 'brush kelp' that they weave into cloth for ceremonial banners and other purposes. Additionally, they have a writing system akin to quipu, where they knot together strands of brush kelp with beads to convey information and record their history.

I genuinely fainted half way through drawing him no I am not joking

blackstar causes spontaneous unconsciousness!! arrest him

Unfinished 💔 prob won’t finish it because I keep starting new art of him…

I’m brainstorming a few concepts for a potential dwarf race in my spec bio fantasy world

Strider Saddles

Response to @mesmerizms !:

In the initial art I did, I was a bit lazy with the saddle drawing, but I’ve made this to clarify some things!

Here’s a strider without a saddle, a strider with only a saddle blanket, a strider with a blanket and a saddle, and a strider with reins.

There’s lots of room for different colours and patterns on the blanket, including tassels like the one in the picture! There’s now a saddle horn and reins to hold onto (although I’m not sure how feasible they are), as well as stirrups.

Keep in mind, I’m basing this off of my prior knowledge + some cursory research. I’ve never ridden a horse or any other animal 😅

Here’s some elves based on non-human primates! Suggestions and ideas are appreciated!

Elves (Speculative Biology)

If elves were real, what do you think they’d descend from? Personally I find them being a subspecies to be a little bit boring. Please lmk!! I’m considering for my fantasy world
