You guys need to know. those are my first slugcat desgins/doodles I have ever made (from like?? a year ago?). I need to archive them
I am fully aware that Rivulet looks like his bootleg toy on the last one
And a more advanced line-up. but. What even is this Enot
I am super happy with what they are now and how much they grew on me though... sobs
In RoF AU, Arti is more nuanced than just straight-up evil and follows a trope of "did a terrible thing and realized too late that it was terrible so now regrets are eating them up from the inside but they can't do anything about it and have to live through this personal hell", but I will still make fun of her
girl /gender neutral

Hello tumblr, I made a comic!
It's a short, metatextual story about a protagonist and his world going through a creative crisis together, new episodes dropping every two week. I jokingly call it a metatextual furry yaoi so I feel tumblr may like it
It would mean a lot to me if you'd check it out if you enjoy what I make!!!! 100% free and from the heart, from an artist, about artists, for artists
@/scughive's Will Wood album cover inspired Enot made me really hyped for more horror-esque interpretations of this guy..... So I drew her and the other uncanny anomaly scug
together in every design version of mine
@scughive's wretched beast joins the team (I am deathly afraid of them [love them so much])

That weird estranged-cousin-whatever-guy is kinda chill actually
Yay bonding
AU discord here
monk: its upturned today survival: whats up turned turned: its me enot
gurt: yo
I think I lack some sort of degree in meme culture to understand this joke 100% but I hope this suffices
for minimal context for new people: in my anthro au Inv's name shortens to "Upturned" you gotta trust me this makes sesne
@/aquapede's watcher comic reminded me how much I love the headcanon of these two being siblings
would you ever consider taking commissions/doing commission work?
Sadly no! I am both busy + never really enjoyed commissions other than quick custom traditional doodles at artist alleys :-( For the foreseeable future I don't think I'll open comms anytime soon, sorry
LOVELY!!! I love the heart shaped face!!
All invs welcome to the staring contest
(feel free to reblog/comment with your invs I can add them to the doodle)

FORESIGHT
RAIN WORLD ANTHRO AU COMIC
[MORE UNDER THE CUT]
I have to make a better summary post of this AU but if you're interested by any chance you can check out this post here
Lyrics are from "Windmills of your mind"
That song hit HARD in the context of Rain World and its messed up cycles and ripples, Watcher content be upon ye (also I recommend checking out its lyrics in full, they're insane)
If you're interested in my anthro AU check out this post here
Mentorship
Figuring out the AU's timeline made me realize potential interactions I wouldn't even think of before + finally got to draw anthro Spearmaster with more casual clothes!!!

Since I've been playing the Artificer campaign recently (badly), scavengers have been on the brain. I know the AU mostly focuses on the slugcats themselves, but what are the scavs like? Are they similarly enlightened to stuff related to the Benefactors? Or are they just doing their own thing and interacting with the scugs like a friendly neighboring nation or summat?
Mostly doing their own thing, and yes - they also dug up and stole a bunch both from Ancients' knowledge and what they left behind physically. Funnily enough, I think they're far ahead in their "reasearch" comparing to Slugcats and quickly realized that whatever the Ones Before were doing doesn't really apply to the reality they're living in right now, so to Slugcats they might even appear a bit weird and like they don't care about the sacred past of those lands.
While whatever Slugcats learnt about the Ancients was spread by word of mouth and was full of speculation, Scavenger's system of living in more organized, bigger groups with larger, hidden settlements scattered throughout the land made it way easier for them to both have more more unified outlook on things AND shape their own, unique identity. That's why, alongside simple drawings, I also gave them theater as characteristic way of creating art in their culture and decided on highlighting that pearls would work as currency to them more than just a more valuable trade object. Slugcats' culture and group identity is, in contrast, really fluid. Sure, they have things like shelter-usage savoir-vivre, drawing, sharing stories with other nomads when crossing paths, but all of it is overshadowed by the idolization of the mysterious, past residents of the earth they walk on now.
The biggest problem Scavs and Slugs have is the fact that they were mostly avoidant of each other and the language barrier is probably a big obstacle. Moreover, to Scavengers, a Slugcat would probably be way scarier than a Lizard or a Vulture - they know that the intentions of the latter are simple, to just hunt and eat. Slugcats are smarter, possibly cunning WAY more unpredictable strangers, which makes them a way bigger, potential threat. The only means of communication they have is either by trade, body language or simple Ancient symbols (all the karma + passage ones most likely) they both are familiar with.
So yeah - mostly neighborhood nation that doesn't want anyone to meddle in their buisness and they won't meddle in others', but when it comes to friendliness... Yeah that varies. Communication between the Scavenger settlements is top notch, so if one Scav saw a Slugcat acting like a vicious beast to them (or, on a more positive note, saved them from a Lizard or something) - all the other, nearby Scavs WILL know about that sooner all later.
And we have one particular, funny Slugcat lady that went a bit too overboard.
Yeah basically the Outer Expanse slugcats didn't visit the terrains near 5P and LTTM for a longer while after this incident worrying that their presence may be not too comfortable for the neighbors that'd need the time to heal.

i love ur art
That really means a lot to me and seeing this ask made my day in full honesty thanks!!!
Looking all cute (based on the popular ms paint meme)
Check out #rwrof au for more content with the anthro scugs designs auu
Doodle of @plasterhound's OCs for rain world arena!!! I love those designs so much man + signalis mentioned 🗣🗣🗣 what the fuck is a dream within a dream 🗣🗣🗣
howdy, got some questions about the designs themselves [maybe also as a break from the tangle of existential cycles among cycles inside cycles]. Why does Upturned have four arms? Is it related to him being an anomaly? Also who do you think takes the longest to get dressed? And on the same subject, does Fallen's tongue ever dry out from dangling out of her mask from day to day stuff for so long?
Thank you, that is a needed break (*sounds of bleeding out onto the pages of the masterdoc* /j)
Honestly when designing Upturned I didn't even have an AU in mind. The figure on the left of the violence karma mural appeared to have a decorative, second pair of arms, so I thought hey, who else deserves weird four arms out of nowhere if not her. I'll probably leave it as it because it just signals that something about this guy is not exactly how a standard Slugcat should be. From the story standpoint (and to not get in too deep into the timey wimey branches-timelines-cycles) I see Upturned as somewhat of an antithesis of Dancing.
Dancing is a careful watcher working outside the cycle and all the madness of different, convoluted paths, while having the potential to have most impact on them, while Upturned would be an oxymoron of someone who's "whole when shattered", always inside the system and under its rule, but with the aspiration to experience and adore it all as is (funnily enough being on two ends of the RoF anomaly spectrum leads them to getting along better rather than somehow making them antagonistic), NOT being in constant torment, but being rather fine with ascension or reincarnation, by choice, not really being on the table for him. In the context of that role - the four arms are a visual representation of that nature of wanting to interact with everything. Origin story wise? I don't think I want to tackle where Upturned would even come from exactly, that'd take away from her being a bit of a cryptid. Maybe I'll change my mind, for now she's vague as a treat.
To answer the second question - probably Upturned because she's a diva. All Slugcats that doomed themselves with using bandages and ribbons tied around them as clothing are also victims of a long morning routine though.
And for the last one - probably doesn't because it isn't always out, she's a cultured being. On a tangent it made me wonder if Sliver of Straw, as that's her maker in this AU, would bless her with not having taste or doom her with having to taste rusted metal and moss when actually using it as a grappling hook. Also she probably looks super funny when doing that. Thankfully, we're talking about a fanfiction and not a platformer game, so tongue-grapple-hook can be limited to a last resort option/useful tool to get all the fruit growing high above down without much struggle.
Obligatory wip to not just leave a wall of text there. Thank you for the ask!
Ah the endless matryoshka

Marbles drawn for @kalivasquez for Rain World Art Arena!!! Love the blue explosive girlie
Funnily enough I wasn't aware that this event exists and I'm really glad it does, I was starting to miss artfight rahh
How do Iterators work in your AU? Sorry if you have explained it already!
I actually haven't, they only have like... One paragraph about them in the masterdoc that will be expanded upon.
Iterators are pretty close to the original game when it comes to what they do and how they treat Slugcats, the thing that differs most is how Slugcats react to that. (scug centered content creator there, ahh).
(small sneak peek of a thing I'm working on right now as a bonus illustration)
They all still kinda live in their own world, one which is day by day crumbling apart more and more, with communications failing and more Iterators collapsing. There's a big gap between Iterators and Slugcats, mostly because Slugcats, more often than not, treat them like authorities or god-like figures since they were the closest to the Ones Before.
That reputation is slowly confronted with the facts and experiences of Messengers and Scugs who stumbled upon Iterators independently, making them realize that they are neither the smartest and most divine beings alive, nor are they tyrannical rulers who think too highly of themselves - they are also flawed creatures, ones that aren't exactly comfortable that their time in the cycle is coming to an end.
