Since this drawing safely arrived at @thejawsoffate 's place (it's a belated birthday gift), I can show what I've been drawing the past few days. I struggled so much with the background, you don't even know! 😭
good afternoon all almost-20 of my followers, with this new drawing comes a slight rebrand, kaendraws -> jayyydraws (was GONNA do jaydraws like i wrote but its taken) to fit my preferred name James
fun monster vessel thoughts: as they start to change more they're able to produce inhuman calls to each other as a unique form of communication. distorted whalesong, frequencies pitching too high and low for the human ear – and much like whales in a pod, each of their vocalizations is different.
vessel and iv are the most vocal and tend to flirt like this often by harmonizing, cooing at each other like a pair of eldritch turtle doves.
iii tries to join in but his throat hasn't quite developed as much yet, so his calls tend to be more squeaky or raspy. he gets lovingly teased about this on occasion.
ii's are the deepest and can sweep the entire manor. full body sonar pings so strong you can physically feel the click in your chest from the vibrations. he does this as a form of check-in with the others when he doesn't have time to chat or is busy with other tasks.
their throats bulge and roll to create these sounds, like flexing newfound muscles. sometimes Vessel places a hand on their necks because he loves how it feels.
my point of inspiration here is the bretheren moon from dead space which is made out of a mix of whale song and other animals. i'll link clips of it later.
