Playing with some ideas mostly regarding gender/reproduction in RW, and slugcat colonies.

Full transcript under the cut!

Creatures in Rain World are typically simultaneous hermaphrodites but require partners to reproduce, with either individual capable of being a genetic donor or carrier. Alongside what we are familiar with, this has lead to interesting reproductive strategies such as rotating donor/carrier roles, or dual/simultaneous genetic swaps.

Rotating donor/carrier roles - A K-selection reproductive strategy. One partner carries the first child, the other partner carries the next child, and so forth. Allows each partner to recover from the demands of childbearing.

Rain Deer aren't quite monogamous, but they tend to choose the same breeding partner whenever mating season rolls around. They serve as a donor one season, then bear and raise a child the next. Calves are raised away from the rain and worm grass, in places that have less food but more safety. Calf wool is softer, not yet gunked up by the dirty rainfall. Their legs are sturdier as children, allowing them to run for cover while the parent wards off threats.

Dual/simultaneous genetic swap - An r-selection reproductive strategy. Parents fulfill the donor and carrier role for each other. The more children you make, the more likely some are to survive!

Multiple batflies lay thousands of eggs in a single "blue fruit." Several eggs congeal and become nutrient paste for the surviving eggs (and for hungry slugcats). Like some plant seeds, batfly eggs that are consumed before pupating can survive passing through the digestive system. Ew.

Ancients also fell under this umbrella. Their genders (and the genders of iterators by extension, who have no sex anyways) could have been determined by a variety of other factors, such as societal role, donor/carrier preference, or simply different categorizations of personal expression.

It's difficult to say how well their common pronouns would translate to ours, but it seems they can translate to an extent, given what Moon and Pebbles use canonically.

Slugcats, like real slugs, can have children with a partner or self-fertilize. Unlike real slugs, they are often known to adopt.

In the case of self-fertilization: children who are born from one parent may display a large amount of genetic diversity despite the circumstances. Maybe slugcats have some sort of... genetic reservoir independent of their own genetic code?

Slugcats live 20-30 years on average... if they manage to reach adulthood. Their mortality rate is sadly rather high, especially in pups. If they were to develop as a civilization, it's likely their lifespan would increase dramatically.

Slugcats in a colony are more likely to have more children, and to successfully rear those children to adulthood, than those who wander alone or in small groups. The safety and stability of a colony cannot be understated.

Colonies either have a set, cycling migration path, or wander continuously. Survivor and Monk's tree home was a nesting site that their colony frequents about once a year. So it's likely that they'll see their family again!

...also, the strength of large colonies are why scavengers are likely to become the dominant species. In the time of Saint's era, continuous migration has become more of a risk, and it has become more difficult to support large populations. Slugcat populations have shrunk back to the more forgiving equatorial zones.

Saint's tongue is pretty unusual and probably unique to them, or to a small population that they hail from. Fur (of varying thickness) is much more common.

Meanwhile, scavengers are bulkier and covered in thicker insulating fur. They:

have seemingly massive populations

have a burgeoning society (the existence of merchants, tolls, bartering, elites and leaders)

are adept at communicating (non-verbally)

manipulate their environment

can build structures (scavenger-made structures were a scrapped idea from Saint's campaign)

can create complex weapons and tools

may have agriculture behind the scenes (unsure if scout parties prioritize exploration or hunting)

I would wager on scavengers developing more quickly than slugcats, but it would be nice if there was a future where both could co-exist.

#critical role #my things #imogen temult #we’ll not talk about how I haven’t been caught up in too many episodes I just love imogen #this did start as portrait practice but very rapidly……….evolved so here we are #as i’m sure you’ve all sussed out i’m incredibly stressed out and that’s why i’m drawing again #cheers! #ok also in reality I enjoyed this one bc it was a different….method of drawing/rendering? I was essentially re-showing myself how to do it #throughout and frankly I think it worked out for the better #so there’s that! #im sure I have the actual timelapse somewhere too……….

whenever a fanfic says that Mello is wearing a t-shirt I know they probably mean something like this:

but all I can imagine is this or this

Bonus Comic:

Bonus Bonus Shirtless Mello:

#my art #death note #mello #near #mello death note #near death note #death note brain rot #I can't imagine Mello wearing anything practical #Maybe it's just that I can't turn off my costume designer brain but it my mind he must always be doing the most #also yes the long sleeve shirt is the one he left Wammy's in that he diy-ed to be slutty #Also also Mello is offended by specifically by the implication that he's a virgin #I want to tag this meronia but idk if it counts??? I guess just assume that anytime I draw them together they were kissing moments before #i drew a Near to go with him that also has flat colors with fully rendered pants but this post was already getting too long

Dear followers, Today I offer you 🤲 Kung Lao

Tomorrow? Who knows... probably nothing oops sowwy

#he got A Plan™ #I'm practicing with expressions a little #also tried a new way of coloring but gave up #🌈fuск the rendering✨ #kung lao #...should I tag off-screen Raiden? #my art #mortal kombat #mortal kombat 1 #mk1 #helsensm art

I know this is specific but can you draw Fiametta in a corset? I think her Angel gf’s would dress her up nice. Lemuen especially :3

a Fiammetta for you! two color versions because i'm indecisive... :P

[ thank you for the request! ]

#sorry for taking like an entire year to get around to this LOL #my art #illustration #fanart #arknights #fiammetta #digital art #artists on tumblr #イラスト #フィアメッタ #アークナイツ #明日方舟 #csp #clip studio #i tried a new workflow this time #i liked the way it felt but it was also really easy for me to accidentally over-render #so if i try it again i'll definitely keep an eye on that ... #i've also never drawn a corset before...! cool clothing is a weak point for me... so it was good and fun practice :D

[dotcircledot]

practice stuff idk

#genshin impact #xingqiu #chongyun #xingyun #chongqiu #dotcircledotart #actually idk if i even want to tag this but whatever lol #rendering practice + faces bc i felt like i was getting stuck in one angle :’) #anyways idk what else to say #oh yeah inspired by xingqiu’s in game sticker bc i find him terrorizing pyro slimes oddly endearing #like hell yeah get your reading light i guess #also please do not take this as sxual thanks

#ome’s arts💥 #unhinged amy inspired by a song !!!!! #also rendering practice ? sorta ? it was definitely a brush i never used #and i was ​curious about its mechanics and wanted to see if i should include w the rest #of the brushes !!!!!! yayaya #while making this #i couldn’t help but think of idw amy and the zombie bot arc #in that version of amy #she was ready to collapse when u think abt it 😭
