anthro sofanthiel!! yay!! yippee!! AAAAAAAAAAA

warning scars below cut

anthro artificer or something,,

i might make full drawings of anthro scugs one day,,, maybe

yall when it puts on its dad fit

friend asked me if i could draw anthro slugcats, i decided to start with spearmaster :D

(I have no idea how to draw gorpcore clothes aunduehuahudhurheuajidjriennwjej)

Op you are cooking, your headcanon propaganda worked on me and I hope you are okay with this exploration of the idea with my Gourm design as a fun exercise

He looks like a metal dad. Imagine if all the tattoos would be related to the food quest items. Whole arms + back in mementos of defeated predators and fun floral patterns

Idea

Gourmand has tattoos

i got this idea because i keep accidentally seeing Gourmand’s screen art of them holding tons of items as tattoos. like look at it. Don’t the jellyfish tendrils look kinda like a tattoo

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

the cycle

I am so normal about godmode

And some older doodles I forgot about:

GOD YOUR ENOT GIVES ME SO MUCH EUPHORIA OH MY GOOOODDD IM FOAMING AT THE MOUTH -🚫🥚

THANK YOU!!!

I love this fella dearly and at this point I am very shameless about her being my favourite

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)

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!!!

If you're interested in the AU check out this post here

Looking all cute (based on the popular ms paint meme)

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!

Hello it is I, the Popcorn enjoyer anon, no longer anon because like.. I'm not really hiding anything and I have no reason to be anxious on tumblr of all places. I've got a question about the wholeness of Dancing. Since she doesn't splinter off into multiple timelines and is a Whole Being, what happens if she dies from something? Would she still get the information from the future she technically hadn't lived through yet?

Hello there #1 Popcorn fan!!! No need to hide we all chill here

[Small spoiler warning to the Watcher DLC? AU sillytalk based on in-game mechanics, NOT canon lore]

What I was thinking is that instead of all of Dancing's memories traveling through time, time literally fully rewinds in the case of her dying. For normal creatures, dying would go like this, for reference:

Both of those realities and timelines exist, it depends who's perspective we're watching them through right now. That's why Ringing's children are dead - we are watching the one branch where that was the case from her perspective.

I imagined Dancing to be kind of a "representant" or "ambassador of the world" itself, she's somewhat of a higher point of reference, a guardian of said spacetime (which she'd become during the equivalent of her in-game plotline in RoF) working alongside it. Spacetime which she doesn't really want to meddle with if it's not needed and there isn't anything endangering the Cycle (put a pin in that :-) ).

Time would also probably rewind to the last time she slept, for the sake of consistency with the hibernation respawn mechanic and the whole "sleep is like a demo version of death" type of deal.

So any realities that managed to branch off during that period of time (a short one as well, a Slugcat can't go long without some rest once in a while) would also be erased and turned back to the time of Dancing's last nap she took somewhere in time, somewhere in space, but with no memories being sent back in time, rather seamlessly. Events in all those realities would also go how they did the first time, unless Dancing was one involved with them and chose to do something differently this time. But that's something she doesn't really want to do (get it? She's the Watcher. The one who watches [absolute cinema]).

Reminder that this AU has a discord server for anyone interested in similar rambles, added here so it doesn't get lost under the cut ->(CLICK)

[FIRST DLC ENDING SPOILERS BELOW - Bonus doodle and additional Dancing lore]

Bonus doodle for that train of thought, because after all her fun adventures with the mischevious Echo child, she found a place to call home in Ancient Urban, where there's not much to worry about in the department of "things that could kill me". Honestly after years of wandering dozens of dimensions - she deserves that break.

I was reading through the info about your RoF scugs and I've learned about Popcorn, please show us a typical Shine and Popcorn interaction please!

Popcorn is quite a sweetheart, but looks a bit scary. They'd love naps and playing fetch

smthng smthng like father like son *

*minus the fact that Gourmand eats lizards instead of befriending them

Finished all "references" for the anthro Scugs/Rhythm of Falls AU since it has a name now. Also - they come with a full list of names and pronouns because I got attached to my headcanons. You can find all content related to the AU under #rwrof au tag.

Taking on the common approach of pinching the timeline so they all can meet and interact with each other during their lifetimes, moreover - some of the scugs get familiar bonds that weren't in game (guess who based on my shipping preferences and design traits)(hard /j)

I plan to post a family tree soon enough + I have *some* ideas floating around in my head about them all and possible canon timeline for this AU but it's still very unstable and rough. If you have any questions/drawing requests for those guys, feel free to send them my way! It'd be super cool to dwell on this AU more and would serve as a huge motivation kick.

I always somehow imagined anthropomorphized Rivulet as a very gnc guy and it stuck to me + the moustache is one of my favourite design decisions from the whole lineup.

Couldn't bring myself to separate Upturned and Fallen so now we're going in groups of threes

Also, just noticed that Enot's/Upturned's full name got messed up in the process (fitting) - the full is "Crack of Shells, Nine Colors Upturned"!

Monk/Shine is still the younger sibling, but this time - not the smaller one! I really wanted to imagine him as a "gentle giant" sort of deal.

+ he matches with his sibling when it comes to the zebra pattern sleeve.

Ancient-style anthro slugcats part 9, Monk! Because I'm saving Surv for the last as the og

ah, so Monkful! The name this guy is getting is "Blooming Fields, Shine of Gold". Has a spear but uses it as a walking stick.

They were called "slaymaster" and a "diva" in one cool server once so I had to do it
