One Shot dealing with Revan and the Exile’s interaction on Dantooine after Malak was captured by Mandalorians (we know that, Revan and the Exile aren’t fully aware of what happened yet). (1640 words) Not sure I managed to reflect all that I wanted in the way I wanted, but... probably, one day I’ll cope with that and write something different and a bit better.
Description: Mandalorian attacks and Malak's disappearance on his way to a Mandalorian base shocked both Revan and Peter. They are willing to act, but their own thoughts and proximity to a powerful source of the dark side do not help them. These are probably only beginnings of what they have to get involved in.
Notes:
- Peter Brookman is a name of the future Exile; - I wanted to reflect Revan and Peter's uncertainty over the future just before the war, their interaction, some shades of friendship, a bit of night Dantooine's vibes (and also sort of unconscious thoughts and feelings about the future events???); - English isn't my native language so there must be some mistakes; - The title wasn't initially inspired by the Scorpion's song but later I found out that certain lines fit perfectly to the atmosphere!
It may or may not go with Deep and Dark by Scorpions, it depends on a reader.

did you know? the deathstalker scorpion is also known as the Palestine yellow scorpion, and is widespread throughout occupied Palestine!
want me to model a creature of your choice in 3D, or see how i make things like this? i'll be streaming requests in exchange for donations as part of Drawings for Gaza! we'll be live at the following times:
Monday, Feb 19th at 10PM EST
Friday, Feb 23rd at 2PM EST
Sunday, Feb 25th at 6PM EST
the genocide in Gaza is getting worse every day, and no resistance is too small. educate yourself; call your local representatives; buy eSIMs so people can stay connected; donate to Operation Olive Branch, UNRWA, or PCRF; don't look away, and don't stay silent!
If you read the scorpions mouthparts as a a pair of 'beaks' (which is how it looked to me initially, assuming that there is some kind of consistent perspective, which on further looking may be a mistake...), it's not a terrible representation of a scorpion's actual mouthparts/chelicerae. I could also feasibly believe it's meant to represent its pincers, but no idea what's going on with the... are those tongues? Antennae? 🤷
Definitely the first bestiary scorpion that I could reasonably guess what it's meant to be, though :D
scorpion in the 'buch der natur' by konrad von megenberg, alsace, c. 1440 (Stuttgart, Landesbibl., Cod. med. et phys. 2° 14, fol. 243v). interesting detail: the german text starts with the typical description of the scorpion as a snake with a pretty woman's face. over this passage, somebody added in latin: "non est ita" = "it's not like that". lmaoo. a paradigm shift. to ME
[Image ID: an arthropod with some odd tripartite mouthparts, a sort of neck raising its head from a beetle-like body, eight legs that end in pincers, a row of nodules along its back, and a fishhook-like tail. It is shown in an outdoor scene that makes it look gigantic.]
(Sorry for the delay on this. I've had deadlines keeping me busy, but they're done now and I'm trying to catch up on various things that fell by the wayside.)
Some remarkable stuff here. I absolutely love someone writing "it's not like that" over the description, and I really have to wonder (not that an answer is likely forthcoming) about the context. On one hand, the idea that someone is just straight-up (correctly) disputing the claim that a scorpion is a serpent with a woman's face is pretty funny. On the other hand, I also like the idea that this comment is meant to be juxtaposed with the illustration: "hey, I'm not sure if you've noticed, but the giant rampaging monster you've drawn here does not have a woman's face. it's not like that."
Also, I know the scale is often not meant to be representative in these illustrations, but wow that's a big scorpion. We're back to prehistoric vibes, but this time our scorpion looks more like an actual dinosaur than any other thing I can think of. I suppose that's just my only referent for an armored creature of that size. It looks like it's a serious challenge for 4-6 mid-level adventurers.
No idea what's going on with those mouthparts, also. They need to be acknowledged, but I don't know what to say about them.
Anyway, points:
Small Scuttling Beaſtie? ½, definitely looks like it scuttles but is not small in the least
Pincers? eight on the ends of its legs rather than as a separate pair of limbs, but sure, ✓
Exoskeleton or Shell? ✓
Visible Stinger? ✓
Limbs? 8
As for vibes, I am enjoying this one. I don't want it to be near me, but it has a certain majesty when observed from a distance. Like this:
Yeah, we're still on the dinosaur comparison. 4 / 5.
And that means that this is officially the Best Scorpion So Far, coming in at a total score of:
8.3 / 10
Our bestiary illustrator was so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should. (They absolutely should.)
seeing scorpions this month!!!!!!

A quick thing I did for my DnD group... one of our players stabbed a scorpion and I wanted to add life to that particular scene.
