the secret lives of real birbs!

It's the last day of April

Somehow I'm completely struck by what in the world connection could this have to ULTRAKILL

But also it's completely understandanble

I love this game

theyre in a polycule

This is really nice

My Ibis paint is working again so I made something 🎉🎉🎉

I HAD TO DRAW THEM I LOVE THEM SO MUCHH😭😭

Ever since I saw that post of them I'm not okayy THEY'RE SO (they/them) PRETTYYYYY💘💘 ESPECIALLY WITH THEIR HAIR DOWN JUST LOOK AT THEMMM😭😭

My headcanon for them is that they're really easy to blush like you could have a simple conversation with them and their face would just blush without any special reasonn (nooo I don't have the same struggle)

#543 - #544 - #545. As Venipede evolves, its carapace becomes a dull cocoon as its insides liquify, and if anything tries to break it, it'll stab them aggressively until dead. It regains its lustrous carapace after evolving and becomes docile, giving rides to smaller pokémon and humans it meets.

I had a pretty solid idea for scolipede itself: Make it more buggy, reference centipede anatomy, but keep its horse whimsy. I did many study of centipede faces and anatomy to figure out how to place their antennae and ultimate legs (thats what the final pair of legs that look like antennae on the end of centipedes is named!). I wanted to keep some of the horn shapes, and also have the tail look like a false head like it does in many centipedes.

The weird eye shape of these guys is referencing the ocelli of centipedes: forming compound eyes. The spikes are actually referencing a milipede instead of a centipede, Desmoxytes purpurosea, who have big pink spikes. The empty spot is meant to look like a little saddle :) and the difference in color is because i think bright green feels more toxic paired with red than the greyish purple the canon one has.

venipede was easy, adapting the canon simplicity and then just adding some centipede anatomy like the antennae below the carapace.

whirlipede however, was pretty annoying. I didnt know what to do with it! i didnt want to just make a wheel but didnt want for it to just look like a venipede curled up. i decided to go the cocoon route: the carapace is protecting the goo inside. centipede dont go through cocoon phases but shhh. made it dull to keep its unique color from the rest of the line that the canon one has.

Sweet !
