Yuppy, I've finally got the print on an apron. It looks a bit darken than the original, but I'm surprised with the quality of the print my local shop made, kudos to them

Possibly tw for spoilers to Rivulet's and Spearmaster's campaigns? But that's really only if you already know what's gonna happen, so, anyway

I made some fishsticks, featuring my new design for a wet mouse Rivulet

Also, don't ask me why I've done Spear's spear in different design, I'm probably gonna change that later...

Edit: changes design of Spearmaster's spear, added gills to the other side of the Rivulet's head

Just a close up on a funky critter

How it feels like to drop a lot of anon asks onto an unsuspecting ask blog

Description of areas around Soft Breeze Above Clouds' structure and their climates

Mainly, SBAC's structure has 3 areas around it due to the structure emitting warmth. Those areas ard: inner circle, middle circle and outer circle

1. Main hyperstructure where most calculations are made

2. Secondary structure. It is relatively small as SBAC has only recently started his plan on expansion of his structure. More minor calculations and processes that can be automated run there. It also can be used as a backup in case anything happens with the main one

3. Inner circle - area closest to the structure, it's pretty warm there and there's almost no snow, some liquid water that has spilled out of the reserve can still be found very close to the structure. Vegetation is common, but usually can only survive in closed spaces (caves and insides of mechanisms), medium creatures live there, such as harvergers and Scolipedes. A lot of pipes go through here to cool the water used in the systems down. Winds are harsh and strong, when SBAC's structure is cooling down and almost nonexistent when it's working due to hot air radiating from it creating an increase in air pressure around, causing winds to travel slower, and when the structure is cooling down, the hot air around it looses it's volume, thus creating low atmosphere pressure and causing winds to become much stronger

4. Middle circle - small area with no developments from SBAC. No liquid water, everything is frozen, plenty of snow with frozen tunnels inside of it. Some vegetation can still be found under snow tho. Most scugs live there as well as burrower lizards and lesser vultures. Winds are still strong, but vary a bit less that in the inner circle

5. Outer circle - barely any vegetation, mostly rocks covered in snow, mainly big species live there such as yeti lizards, snowdeer. The only small specie that lives there is harverger due to their symbiotic relationship with snowdeer. Winds are harsh, but barely vary in strength, creating pretty stable environment

6. (I have accidentally forgotten about this number, uh)

7. The mountain. SBAC's structure barely holds any effect over the rest of the mountain, environment is pretty stable and is the same you'd find on any other mountains

Inner workings

8. Transmitting pipes. Almost no creature lives here due to extremely hot water and strong torrents

9. Main reservoir - main area that stores water. Due to strong torrents only species that are able to withstand them like needlefish and suckerfish can live there. Water temperature varies depending on how deep you go. The deeper - the colder

10. Backup reservoir - basically backup water in case any escapes main systems and has to be replaced. The water is cool there, most aquatic creatures live there. Big eyes fish inhabits those waters, aquatic vegetation is plenty

Fauna around SBAC's structure

Fauna around Soft Breeze is unique in its temperature and lowered amount of oxygen in the air. Many creatures have evolved and changed to better survive in the harsh climate, changing their colours to whitish to blend in with the snow or choosing to live inside of the can or really close to it

It is worth mentioning that while the mountain SBAC lays upon is extremely cold at the top, the hyperstructure emits some warmth, so the closer to SBAC's can - the warmer it gets, thus many creatures live near it, while others avoid it

Read more for descriptions

1. A common snow lizard/yeti lizard. Those specimens have evolved to have thick fur and a good layer of fat beneath their skin, they are solitary creatures, ignoring each other at most upon any accidental meeting. They are bigger than a usual lizard, tankier, can't climb pols and can be tamed pretty easily, but beware, is you tame two of those they'll fight over who stays with you until one of them is no more. Just run away from them and they'll be no problem because they're slow

2. Snowdeer. A descendant of a common raindeer. Due to harsh climate they've lost their long legs because they were getting frostbitten. They've also got fur and are facultative herbivores, meaning they won't shy away from eating a piece of meat or two when given an opportunity. They usually come in large groups of 5-8 specimens (not counting fawns) and answer with aggression to any provocation. Try avoiding bringing any weapons around them and don't harm any of them or the whole colony will come for you. Sometime very old snowdeer leave their colonies and become much easier prey

2.1 snowdeer fawn. Very small and fragile creature, they are always surrounded by adult snowdeers that protect them from predators and harm. Not aggressive, but if you harm one an adult one will go for you

3. Harverger. Basically a distant relative of scavengers that is much smaller and fragile. However, they travel in large groups, scattering around on danger and confusing predators. They live close to snowdeer, seeking protection from them while looking out for any predators and warning snowdeer with high-pitched squeals in exchange. A good source of food, as long as they're not near snowdeer

3.1 Harverger pup. Harverger pups have long fur on their backs to make them look bigger and like yeti lizard's pups to make predators avoid them. Harverger are extremely protective over their pups, being good parents and never leaving them alone. Not worth eating. Can be used to lure adult harvergers wherever you need

4. Lesser vulture. Vultures have surprisingly evolved to be smaller, hunting down small lizards and harvergers. Most creatures no longer see them as danger, thus carrying a vulture mask would make every creature aggressive to you instead of scari g lizards off. Pretty easy prey, but they do try to get away upon taking damage

5. Burrower lizard. Those lizards have evolved to be much smaller, they live by burrowing through the ground, creating small underground and undersnow. They live in big colonies, and while one burrower lizard is barely any danger, they never travel alone, subduing much bigger creatures with the amount of them. They also use their red spines for communication between each other and intimidation of larger creatures. Easy of alone, practically impossible to fight when many. When you're taming one of them, you're actually taming the whole colony!

6. Needlefish. A relatively small specie of fish that lives in the water reservoirs of SBAC's structure. Due to their thinness they are able to swim against the water and quickly get wherever they need to. Just be wary of their sharp snout and you'll be fine

6.1 Needlefish roe. A string of needlefish roe. One day it'll hatch into many more needlefish that will immediately swim away wherever they see. A good source is food! Just try to avoid adults that protect their future generations

7. Par. Pars are large, rotund creatures, capable of rolling. The only reason they haven't gone extinct yet is their foul taste

8. Scolipede. Scolipede live in dark places, usually inside SBAC's structure. Despite not having the ability to shock like their relatives centipedes, Scolipedes have strong mandibles, capable of crashing bones and mauling creatures

9. Slugcat. Some slugcats live around SBAC's can, preferring. They are largely carnivores and very territorial. They have evolved to have long fur and small ears to fight the coldness

10. Overseer. SBAC's overseers, they largely track how far into the structure creatures wander to avoid allowing any of them to reach much more intricate parts that can be easily broken

11. Suckerfish. Cannot be picked up as long as it's alive and connected to any surface. They largely clean insides of tubes the water comes through. Unironicly the only living creature SBAC doesn't mind living in his structure

12. Big eyed fish. Their big eye is actually just a mark, their real eyes are located closer to their nose. They live inside of water reserves and eat any plants that grow there

Soft Breeze Above Clouds

An iterator that was build on a very high mountain, the inside of which was hollowed out for storing water. He mainly uses water and cold air as coolants. Because his can is very high up, all water is always moving, any that spills out freezes immediately and can no longer be used. Due to his position, he is practically incapable of connecting to other iterators, only being able to send texts via special drones that take long time to arrive

Lately he's been preoccupied by research on capabilities of expanding his super-structure for more efficient search on the possible solution

Most species that dwell around his can are rather large, covered in fur if they live on the mountain or smaller and aquatic if they inhabit the inner water reserves of his structure

(btw, I'll be writing small summaries for all the creatures above in the next post)

The Lawless

Lawless belongs to an extremely small colony of mutated/evolved scugs that live on the Soft Breeze Above Clouds' territory. Due to the territory existing on a high altitude the scugs there have copper-based blood instead of iron-based one. Due to a lot of water around the SBAC's can they are capable swimmers and can hold their breath for extended periods of time. They are known to be vicious hunters and opportunists, sometimes going as far as to hunt down anything that is not part of the colony, including scavs and other scugs

Lawless has sharp spines that move depending on his mood and can be used for protection or intimidation. His ears are often pressed close to his head, never standing up to avoid frostbite. He's also a facultative carnivore and has sharp teeth. Curious by nature, he's less afraid of most creatures, preferring to use his agility to evade attacks and escape. He enjoys stargazing and looking at all the little details of everyday objects

Tried to make some simple designs for Spearmaster, Saint and scug from a secret campaign, so

Tw: spoilers for the secret campaign, for Saint's campaign, for Spearmaster'campaign and possible trypophobia for Spearmaster'design

An introduction post

Hi, I'm Shrike or Cotard, a socially awkward 18 years old student that's just trying to survive and sometimes draws furries as well as stuff from rainworld

Please, be aware, I have troubles with understanding a LOT of societal norms. If I'm doing something that could be considered triggering or unpleasant and strange, then, please, notify me. I do struggle with understanding others, so your help in that department would be greatly appreciated!

Any asks are welcome! Please, ask my ocs anything you'd like

Please, give me any of your problems (can be anonymous) and I'll give you a terrible advice (that shouldn't be even taken into consideration, 'cuz I'm not a therapist) that end up in violence, silliness or other strange and unpleasant situations

Or you can request any chars that are anthropomorphic (or a char that's not and I'll try to turn them into furries). Altho I can't promise any good results as my drawing skills tend to go from 'ok' to 'I should just burn it' in a few moments

Currently interested in: bones, zoology, rain world, taxidermy

Oh no!

*accidentally spills the scug I made with this*

Well, I guess you're in the big world now

Very cool challenge tho! kinda tried to go for a leopard seal vibes

First Pic is unshaded because I don't know how I feel like about a bit more shaded one, so, uh, yes

Made an oc maker challenge for rw community! Inspired by @shimmeringembers & @thenalanita-art ♡

Have fun!
