low quality lil critter (their whole thing is that they glide. that's about it.)
I'm kind of bored, so if anyone wants a sketch of your Rainworld OCs, link them in a reblog, and I might draw them! slugcats only, you can check my blog for examples ^w^
Happy anniversary to my horrible child, the Gift. I wrote an AU campaign idea for them a year ago and then never posted it. This just about sums them up though :]
Made art for an oc! there name is Ancients Ire and they're can has a fighting arena on top of it.
not the best drawing but oh well! I was wondering what to put on top, cause I wanted something other than a city. soooo since ire means anger, I decided "fuck it gladiator ring!" cause like. these idiots respawn and I'm sure SOME of them want to commit a bit of murder <3
this is the tiny bit I have written on them in a google doc
"Ancients Ire (Irene, Ire) Senior of the group, Oldest of the group, gen 1, built on unstable ground total wonder they haven’t fully collapsed, located in a marshland, 3 legs are broken to some degree so they are tilted, their hosted a… dubiously legal fighting ring so theres TON of dangerous shit up there <3"
so basically, they were built in a marsh so 2 of the legs have sinked into the ground and one is broken (the wildlife got a bit silly) and they have a cool fighting ring! the big block connected to the colosseum held a ton of dangerous animals, lizards (red, caramel, cyan, green, white), miros birds, vultures, all those things! so there's a ton of dangerous critters up there.
also the big ball thing on the right side has a ton of lantern mice in it. who have evolved to be to hot to hold and use flashes of light to protect against the abundant lizards.
anyways yah! iterator oc!
frick you im making a rw evolution thingy anyways *insert middle finger emoji here* (not actually being hostile) (also... yah I agree its kinda a nightmare trying to make this thing but I said I would so I will.)
Gonna be honest i don't think you can apply cladistics or taxonomy to rain world.
Lizards aren't actual lizards, not reptiles or even vertebrates. I don't think dropwigs are arthropods, insects or even bilaterians. I don't think pole plants are animals, plants, fungi or protists.
As I see it every living thing you see in the game is a descendant of a purposed organism.
Purposed organisms which had genes taken from everywhere in the tree of life.
Genetics has become a muddied pool of organisms which, for example have 32% of their dna from protists, 7% from arthropods, 31% from vertebrates, 16% from fungi and 14% from scyphozoa.
The ancients influence has left the entire concept of genetics and taxonomy useless in a world where what looks like two members of the same clade have almost nothing in common but simply both adapted for similiar niches.
The concept of an animal, plant, or even a pure eukaryote no longer exist.
took all those pics for a rain world evolution chart, expect that... in 1 to 50 business days!
just made an absurdly long post/chain of reblogs of pics of all the rain world creatures, prob got too many tags so wont be seen as much so I'm making this separate post here's the link :
