This Is Basically Just A Funky Creature Design Concept.

This is basically just a funky creature design concept.

I'm planning to act on the idea in the future.

Details below the cut, if you're intrigued.

The tongue of the dragon shown in the sketch is quite literally a parasite, which overtook the body of an already dead dragon to be its host.

The parasite resembles a mass of slick black material, which fills up its host to control it more efficiently. But the start of control begins when it grows around and into the brain of its host. It almost always targets creatures that are already dead, preferably recently.

It uses the host to hunt for prey, which it then consumes. If hunting is not an option and starvation is imminent, it'll decompose its host for energy over time.

In later stages, the parasite isn't very apparent in its host, when it has overtaken the body competely. The movements of its host are often erratic and jerky in earlier stages due to incomplete/underdeveloped manipulation of its host's body.

The parasite can't produce any noises from its mouth.

These animals are common for it to select as a host:

• apex predators

• animals in the canidae genus (ex. wolves, foxes, dogs)

• animals in the felidae genus (ex. panthers, lions, house cats)

• dragons (given that this isn't exactly a "realistic" world I'm working with, and the animals listed above have evolved to coexist with other species like dragons without dying in two seconds flat)

I might update this later. Feel free to use this in an A.U. or idea, as long as you give credit.

This is for any small artist on Tumblr.

If you post something that you worked hard on and genuinely put effort into, only for it to get ignored, please don't be discouraged. Your art doesn't need validation or attention from others for it to to be considered good.

The amount of reblogs, likes, or comments isn't what determines whether it's good or not. Quality over quantity.

Water bottle drawing that I'm probably never gonna finish.

I made this for the Valentine's Day of 2023, so it's old. Still proud of how it turned out.

I was trying to achieve a flowy, essentially imperfect look for the outer heart rings but I kinda failed miserably with that.

Swoopy boi.

I was trying out different artstyles.

I need more Pride Month art on my blog.

We also need more vitiligo representation.
