Just been reminded of one of many things I’ve yet to successfully draw/illustrate that I’ve so badly wanted to succeed in drawing for Hoepian stuff… The intermediate form that Kabakin Jungle earth dragons are able to turn to.

As the name implies it’s an intermediate form between human form and dragon form, only thing is that due to the fact that one should not normally be able to go into an intermediate form, it’s somewhat a monstrous form that gives that uncanny vibe that makes you feel “fucking nope”.

Only thing I can really compare it to for that monstrosity and feeling is the first two times Chopper from One Piece presented his Monster Point form (probably the comparison came up because earth dragons also have antlers)

Don’t lie, it definitely gave you that uncanny feeling.

large, uncanny, powerful, intimidating, I really want to emulate a similar feeling. Might be difficult as earth dragons have bark-like scales rather than fur, and have serrated teeth rather than human/deer-like teeth but, idk, I really want to nail that similar feeling nonetheless.

Kabakin Pumpkin alone in the woods…. or is it?

While my work has been far from following the probable rules of Inktober, I still am glad I could get myself to draw daily for once in a long long time (and for that matter daily for an ENTIRE MONTH). While it will be no longer under a “daily draw challenge” with a day number attached, I hope to continue drawing on a daily basis from here on out. Perhaps with that more pieces like this can end up resulting.

Thank you to those who’ve been liking much of the stuff I’ve been putting out.

In case of the very likely possibility that I’m not gonna get any halloween art drawn/uploaded before October is over; take last year’s pic instead.

This is still a favourite Hoepian plant of mine. It’s supposed to have some pretty neat Manabotanical/ethnobotanical properties, but that’d be a bit of a ramble to go on about so let’s not.

“I want mosquitoes extinct“ with the diseases and all, pretty valid.

“I want wasps extinct“ ok considering their position in ecology despite being assholes, this is becoming a bit grayer territory here…. You’ll break some major micro food chains on that one.

be mad at the poorly foresighted citylandscapers/landowners on this one, not the tree that didn’t get to choose where it got planted!!!
