Howdy everyone! I slightly changed up how things work.
Tiers 1 and 2, wayfinder and pencil pusher, are identical. the second tier is just a handy way to send slightly more money if you wanted to.
Tier 3, Wayfinder, currently is identical to 1 and 2 but may gain something in the future...

And here we have a drawing of Petunia and Nicole having a smooch. I'll have to write up more of their backstory later.
I recently decided that they knew each other before ending up spellfluxed, but in that "I Recognize you from college!" way.
Also I am having way too much fun drawing ...

Bugs don't have a monopoly on these tf causes, but they do have a bias towards them. Dylend and Hans get to be the designated victims in today's piece.
2022-08-19 21:44:11 +0000 UTC View PostOkay! something something art projects.
I intend to create a comic where Nicole gets suited up as a union member of the trashpanda corps. This is going to take a bit of lead time and prep so I am going to start working on it through September so that hopefully it will be done in October.
Bugs get to be small. Very smol. Still relatively terrifyingly huge.
also decided to just throw up my hands and say bugs can have either leg/arm arrangements because why not. Manatear is a setting of whynot, just throw it in.
This piece features Jared (owner of the airbar) making a deal...
Behold, trashpanda ref one, I will be doing a bunch of individual refs that mention nonsense like layering, how their masks and name tags work, behavioral filters on another. Tehre's too much to go over for one image.

I figure the bee in this reference is at most Daisy's size at minimum. I haven't completely settled on their size scale.
Currently considering making them very small where this bug would be 1 foot tall, so bug cities can be like the rodent city in zoo-topia. :P
This bug might get name...

Not an exclusive, but cross posting it to patreon for redundancy. Slatepaws are in wider setting outside of the Manatear. They can readily be a shape within the Manatear. They get to be one of the weird examples of a mostly representative shape that is "on model" with non-spellfluxed examples. 2022-08-04 16:17:54 +0000 UTC View Post
Alright! Theme is "Harvester Hive" which means we are doing bugs bugs bugs bugs.
I'll also expand on how harvester type monsters work because they are not exclusive to bugs but is helpful for explaining how types of monsters work.
Of the bug themes I'll intend to do some pieces for st...

Harvesters are a category like swarms. Not locked to any one thematic category. But these guys are the ones that will mug you and steal your backpockets for all your spare essence and leave you in the alleyway. Or steal you away and throw you in their webs as a snack or whathaveyou.

I came up with these guys a long while early on in the manatear's original set of ideas. I do need to draw a not pooltoy version though.

Not every synthetic material critter is a drone. Some are just rando snakes that will try to subsume you. She'll get better later.
Not strictly a part of the monthly theme but definitely gets to be a part of the week early access.

Muses are at least within the same power scale of spellfluxed, but are far more temperamental and are quite prone to forming petty grudges.
But if you got the right tone of voice to get through the encounter you're probably fine. Just...Give them the pocket change, the ones outside of towns...

"Establishment roleplay" where they run businesses and expect visitors to play along.

Dook swarms are one of the first rando "Monsters" that I came up with after manatear became a proper setting.

Shale! He's a noodle! He isn't actually spellfluxed but in the soft canon of "I want to draw this for fun" he'll get to interact with everyone. He is from the wider setting though. He lives in the Silver Coast coalition area if you recall the region map I arted.
He is one of the many exiled...

The subject will be drawings of encounters that wouldn't be out of place on a rng table in the wilds of the manatear.

I am sensing a pose trend, I will see if I can break out of it after this though.
Sydney is indeed canonically with a Nulge in the manatear, they are however able to, with their non-binary powers, manifest any sexual assets with some effort. Takes some work to get people to perform their pr...

Chaujen must have been hit by something goofy that surprised him. He must have struggled to drag the one non-readily replacable piece of a equipment home without leverage or hands.
Daisy is just living for it though, being 2ft tall means that it's very rare that she gets to be eye to eye. 2022-06-11 21:50:44 +0000 UTC View Post
Also including older Nicole refs. Nicole has been an Ex-human spellfluxed for 99% of her existence, there may have been a brief period where she manifested without that context.
The other two references are dated to 2019 and 2018 respectively. This is the first time her outfit got a b...
