[miscellaneous--bones]

was revisiting sextupods

some internat workings stuff under the cut (bare bones anatomical outline for the skeleton and guts placement)

#these things still tend to confuse my brain as much as i love the idea of them #so i went in and redid them a bit to better fit my tastes and try and mak more sense of it #especially in terms of stuff like skeleton and muscular structure. i knew they needed to have room for strong back and chest muscles #and still wasnt sure what their ribcage looked like #so i went and took a look at otters ferrets kangaroos and just tried to apply that logic here #(ferrets for ribcage and spine) #(otters for backlegs mostly) #(and then kangaroos had the shoulders and chest muscles i needed to take a look at #mind you i know very very little about muscles so to anyone who does hopefully it makes any ammount of sense lol im kinda wingin it #art #oc #idk what i tagged these as #speculative biology #original species #Galileo #Adelaide #the first bit up there was from yesterday btw the second canvas is from today where i tried to be a little more accurate to the skeleton #hopefully i succeeded idk #hextupod #spec bio
