Finally finished my take on the slugcat designs from Rain World!! I love those fellas dearly (yes all made in ms paint)
Close-ups here:
are you gonna draw more of rajani? Cuz i love reading about peoples spore lore/chaaracters!!
Hi!! Thanks for the ask right away
I can't promise regular Rajaniposting because what fanworks I do heavily depends on what I'm fixated on a the moment/if I'm working on my own oc projects bwahaha
BUT I do doodle them sometimes still!
Their lore isn't too complex btw, its mostly based on what I experienced with them gameplaywise, adding on some story elements in my head for fun.
Rajani is a zealot empire leader that started out as a relatively normal space explorer (as much as a zealot can be normal ig) until they learned about the existence of the Grox. In a. Rather very rough way (Yknow that one galactic adventure "Infestation"? Well he had to get that cyborg eye somewhere)
And he went downhill from there basically! :-D *tada* Huge ego and god complex issues are not a good mix with being hellbent on a mission of destroying the half-machine pests from the galaxy's center, so
Instead of being a normal, peaceful, civilized being, Rajani cooked up a plan to fight his way to the core, expand his empire even at the cost of other ones, ally the Grox to get easy enlightment at the core for himself... And backstab them a second later and go on to destroy all of them! :-D
He's a terrible person that thinks he's some sort of wrongfully hated saviour of galaxy that needed all that power to stand up to the collective enemy, not really caring that well, he is just taking the place of the Grox he swore to destroy. I hate their guts a lot </3
Also, Scrolls of Faith from the game mention that one silly figure of "The God That Will Come"?
(screenshot from the spore wiki)
Well I like to think that this is what Rajani basically becomes (not the literal god that the other archetypes mention, but could see himself from that lense of his religion's interpretation), someone who warped his faith so bad while gaining so much recognizability that he's left as just such a bad parody of what he was supposed to stand for and his beloved Spode
if he realizes that then he deserves all the mental damage of not being able to turn back x10 I think
Hear me out.
Anthro scugs but they're based on the Ancients' anatomy and fashion

For the Seven Red Suns
love your huzzlemug plush- do you have a pattern? or did you wing it?
50/50!
Patternswise, this is all I got:
Used this guy to estimate how big Huzzle would turn out (this was cut out from an A4 paper sheet) and to cut out the fabric for the head + body underneath with ease. Looking back, I should have made the body a bit different to fit the bell-shape it has in the game. I had to scrunch-up the overlaying "poncho" and sew on the legs higher up on the sides to save it and give it a better shape in the end :-(
And here's the plan!
I think the most important thing is how the head was made and it's pretty clear on the drawing - I used two leaf-shaped long fabric strips to give it volume. These were placed in the mouth (with pink felt) and at the back of the head (with the same yellow minky).
When making the "poncho" I first made a paper mock-up (that I lost after cleaning my desk) and still struggled with making it even (The Struggle Mug, one might say).
Legs were made from two rectangles sewn to a tube shape. Hands were made from 2 pieces of fabric each though (rectangle + a circle-esque part at the end to resemble a palm od a hand) and the fingers are basically flat felt triangles bwahaha
Also, it doesn't have feet. The shoes are empty on the inside and were hot gued directly on the legs' end. Hot glued because I chose a thicker type of felt to give them a sturdy feel. They were also a bit tougher to sew on, but I think it would be doable if one had the time. Each shoe was made just from 2x the side's shape + a rectangle and a triangle for the soles to give them more volume.
The little hair-adjacent thing on the back of it's head were also two pieces of fabric in the shape of the little curl, sewn together flat without any filling inside.
Stripes on the legs, nose, blush and eyes (cut out from a thicker piece of felt and glues on, too) were painted on with posca pens + acrylics. Those were smaller details I wanted to have more control over that I couldn't really get with the limited fabrics I had at the moment!
So to answer the question; I can't provide patterns because they don't really exist, it was more of an improv but I hope a run through the process might help or answer the question.
Also this is how the WIP of the diva looked like, a bald chicken.
Now that I am on tumblr I can repost my wife's art. 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣 BUG LADY
Attack for my partner of his character, Reitden!! I'm really proud of it. So much so that it deserves its own post I think
These two. It is an actual CRIME these two are not drawn together more.
I DEMAND more art of Arti and Gourm with Monk and Survivor. Damn, the found family feels we are missing out on??? Please I beg of thee indulge in the found family trope, I love ANGST and COMFORT GRRRARRAHGGG
While wating for the poll to conclude I wanted to draw something with those designs!!! Barbecue for the win
Also I wanted to start giving them ancient-adjacent names for fun and have "Two Pearls, Endless Ringing" for Artificer and "Share of Warmth, Hands United" for Gourmand!!! Ik that the canon naming system is focused more on objects than sounds and feelings, but I don't want to limit myself and give them something that actually fits their vibe. I have all of the scugs named and will probably include those with the refs soon to come, Hunter and Riv will have to wait until I make a final lineup... Or draw something separate with them
