Life hack: begin every phone conversation with "I know about the animals, Jerry"

Early Centaur Design

These drawings of Talita are some of the first designs I did for centaurs. They haven't actually changed too much-- one major difference is that this design still has a head-brain, whereas now they have their brain on the rear chest and their skull is basically a pair of jaws on a Popsicle stick.

Bat vampires are really rare in these parts, and don't have the same enormous stigma attached to them as cowbirds. People's reaction to them is more shock than fear.

Bonus Comic: Blep

Gillie refuses to let photos of herself being adorable exist, she has an image to maintain

Teirs Shuffled

Please let me know if you have any questions! This should be the last major change I make for a long time. More info on this post: https://www.patreon.com/posts/teir-shuffling-13536258

Early Wel and Wek Concepts

One of the first drawings I did of the titular characters of The Uncommon Twins. They are digitigrade glider people.

I was still figuring out their naming system... I knew I wanted to name them all of after sea creatures, but I wasn't sure what suffixes I wanted to use for a society with no concept of gender. Eventually I went...

Mobile Plant Sketches

I turned plant physiology into something that can walk around and eat things. At this point they're not plants so much as... like... a new phylum of not-animals, but yknow, they still got leafs and stuff

These little dudes are nocturnal detrivores, resting and sunning themselves during the day and wandering around snacking on ...

Sneg Stickers Available for Preorder!

Are they cute, or deeply upsetting? Either way, snegs (snail legs) are now available for preorder on my Gumroad.

Talita Fashion Sketchbook

Figuring out how to dress a hexapod was a tantalizing puzzle, here are some of my first attempts at it. The colored portions are watercolors.

Teir Shuffling Ahead

I've talked to several different artists more experienced with Patreon than me, and come to the conclusion that I'm in dire need of condensing and rearranging my reward tiers. It's a bit of a ripping-off-the-bandaid situation, sooner better than later and all; but these changes should maximize the amount of hot internet content ...

My scanner butchered this one and im not fond of a lot of the panel layouts, but done is better than perfect, so I have Released the Bear.

Also bats have reverse knees, and it's an absolute rubiks cube trying to pose them in dynamic running shots

The Bug Ferret Terminal

Stand back, Gillie says, I have a degree in this.

They are currently on a planet, and need to take a ferry boat (ground-to-orbit vessel) up to the local space station.

CTC Sketchbook Page

Some sketches of Thaddeus the cowbird vampire and Ayaba Igbo the forsaken god.

Cowbird vampires have anatomy more similar to a jay or magpie than a real cowbird.

Scud Body Decoration

Attach snails to your body for Fashion. Just do it

Bonus Comic: Illegal Activities

Bip seduces Talita into a life of crime.

She's already agreed to help with the spaceship repairs at this point, so technically she's already violating the law by tampering with the recycling plant's property (anything in the coldside junkyard) off the clock. More on Talita's situation @ the point this comic takes place: 2017-07-03 08:13:28 +0000 UTC View Post

Hexapodal Gestures

Trying to get a little more used to moving around Talita's anatomy. She can get things off of tall shelves and the roofs of small buildings for you.

Centaur Body Decoration

More for that body decoration post. Centaur will shave patterns in their velvety body "feathers." It will mostly stay like this until next molting season.

Ferret Body Decoration

Working on a post about body decoration/modification in RttS aliens. Bug ferrets put stickers on their faces, only occasionally wear any clothes at all and its just a butt cap.

I've also updated their mandibles a little, because the original design wasn't cutting it for me anymore.

Runaway Blueprint

I've been learning actual rocket science trying to build the titular ship from Runaway to the Stars, because I am a madman who Must Attain All Knowledge. The little white and yellow icon is the ship AI, Bip.

Things I still need to change: put the nose RCS (reaction control system) behind the Whipple shield, move the main fuel ...

They're in for a bit of a surprise.

Oh hey we just saw this car! They have some tipsy exposition for us.

Bonus Comic: Death is Unsufferable

tfw you use suicidal humor casually but then the literal God of Death starts hanging out with you 

More AU Cowbirds

The men in this AU wear makeup that imitates their summer plumage markings in bird form.

Cowbird Race, no humans AU

I've gotten questions about what cowbird society in CTC looks like, and the answer for canon is not much. Genocide and persecution shattered all of their oldest communities. 

Buuuuut..... I do have an AU where there are no humans and the 3 vampiric species have much more developed civilizations..... so I did some visual d...

That can't be good.

This is pretty much the last of the comics I drew on this horrible lined paper like 6 years ago, rejoice. After this it's all printer paper.

Caine, maybe you shouldn't... oh. Welp.

CTC Sketch Page 28

I'm probably gonna edit the greenhouse environment to a desert oasis, for reasons. Either way Caine is a plant nerd.

Also, the continent of Jyanaban is now called Alkebulan.
