Here are the basics of the Liminal Velocity universe:
Most of the universe is dark and hostile to life. Spheres are the exception (they're bubbles of safe space) This is where habitable planets can be found. Spheres travel through space on predictable paths. Planets remain stationary relative to their sphere. - Interplanetary travel using Subspace Warp Highways is commonplace. If you don't pay too much attention during the trip, the experience is not much different from traveling down a regular road. - These warp highways are created by a fungal entity known as Highway Mimic. Similar to how classic mimics imitate treasure chests, Highway Mimic imitates Travel. It uses the expectations and memories of travelers to shape the highways features. #worldbuilding #art #scifi

Say hello to Mirmel:
Prompt: a character named Mirmel A kobold. They are sweet and innocent-looking. #furryart A kobold. They show they ass. Prompt: there was this dumb photo of a cat Mirmel bites a radio mimic and it fuses to their arm. Prompt: a mimic fusing with someone Various mirmel sketches - I drew this character for my October daily art prompts challenge, and then I ran out of energy after day 4.

A scene that's been in my head for a long while.
Character on motorbike driving down highway. World starts tilting. They fall into a tunnel at the bottom. #furryart #scifi

Rau Explains Stuff (2/?)
"Lets start with planets!" - "Want me to just list the important ones? Or like, what they're made of, or... you do have planets, right?" - The odd figure shows Rau Earth "This is our planet. 196 Million square miles. Over 8 billion inhabitants. - "Oh" #furryart #webcomics #worldbuilding Rau is momentarily stunned, trying to work out the implications of what she saw - "Oh. Right. Our planets are a lot smaller than yours. Like 4 miles diameter instead of 8,000." "Huh? Did I do this?" - Rau is holding a small planet in front of her. "This is Velocity. My home planet. Not to scale, obviously." She produces a circular grid with dots connected by lines "This is my sphere. The dots are planets and the lines are Velocity's warp highway network." She then produces a series of rings with those spheres on them "And here's everything. We've mapped four major spheres and a few hundred smaller ones. The space outside spheres is extremely hot and dark, so this is a view you can't get in reality."

Lets pluck Rau out of setting for a bit, for questioning.
Rau, on a planet's surface, gets distorted and then finds herself in an empty white void, in front of a somewhat ghostly character. #furryart #webcomics "Don't worry. You're not dead. I'm not a threat. I brought you here to answer questions about your reality." "The reality I come from is very different from yours. Just give us some insight into how it all works and I'll have you back in the desert before a second of your time passes." - Rau: "Huh I guess if I'm not totally here that explains why I'm sort of pseudo-naked. Alright I'll answer some questions. Where do we begin?"

Rau gives into the urge to grab snake. (Mostly true story) These comics were drawn before Rau joined Liminal Velocity, but the only real hint you'd get to that is the amount of horizon in the distance. #furryart

Many of Rau's old comics didn't make the transition to bluesky. Let's change that!

(This one is actually a true story, btw)
First comic appearance of Rau. She's sitting on a dock with a salamander in her paw. "Wanna join me as I write my journal for today?" - a friend approached in a canoe and splashes her, so she throws the salamander and it hits his face - crying: "You got my journal wet AND YOU MADE ME THROW MY SALAMANDER!" This is a 100% true story from my life, btw. This comic began as an opportunity for me to revisit (and sometimes alter) memories from years before I began drawing Dogstomp. #furryart

The very first sketch of Rau
Paper sketch of Rau from 2020-ish, with mostly similar features to now, but shorter legs. #furryart

you may not be actively aware of it but every word you choose comes with a mountain of baggage, drags a cultural and personal history along with it. Sometimes it’s fun to pull out the web of concepts and take a close look

Rau gets serious gecko energy when you catch her off guard. #furryart

What if I just started unceremoniously dumping lore and world building.

What if I made stories with details I'm not sure about?

What if I post stuff that will later be incorrect. Non-canon. Discarded. Updated.

Sounds like more fun than waiting until I'm sure.

Starch #009
mimic: "They building old fashioned timber space ship?" - Starch: "We use wood because it's lightweight and makes good substrate for the highway to get its roots into." - "Don't forget the hardpoints!" - "Hardpoints? What do you know about those?" - Please reply with stuff you know about hardpoints in airplane/boat/spacecraft construction. #furryart #askblog #webcomic

Time lapse montage of Starch constructing a spacecraft frame. Cutting floor boards and setting it up. #furryart #webcomics #scifi Giving you a breather from the walls of text support my art? https://www.patreon.com/input_command

Starch #007
"WHERE DO WE GET OUR CUPHOLDER?" - "We're not doing that part yet. This is the framework room" - "WHERE DO WE GET OUR DRIVE SHAFT?" - "We get that in the parts room, but I don't think we need one for this." - "WHERE DO WE GET OUR INSPIRATION?" "WHO TAUGHT US?" - "Before I held this position, it was run by a Moul named Starch." A memory "ghost" of the Moul "Starch" stands in front of the Pretzel "Starch" - "He built some of the best machines we ever made. Always looked like he was having a blast." Starch exits the framework room holding a large ship frame piece. #furryart #webcomics #scifi

"Pick up that can!" - Starch picks up the can and throws it over their back. Their cowl grows teeth and eats it. #furryart #webcomics

Mimic: How long have we been building pretty sleek ships? Starch: I've been doing this for six months, but it feels like years. Mimic: I think I've seen you doing this for somewhere like 42 good years :) Starch: Nope #webcomics #furryart

Starch #004
Asks: "A i enabled outfit? I noticed starch has the power of mimicry with preference for Starch's voice" mimic: "Mimicry power outfit? Starch's outfit has Starch's voice?" - Starch: "Wasting no time asking about this again, huh." - "No time wasting. Starch has preference for Starch's voice." Ask 1: Calicovert: "I think I need some direction for the problem-solving -- who or what are we building a spacecraft for? It'd be good to know whose specifications we're trying to design for" - Second ask box with time and date obscured and a picture of a strange creature named starch - "When it asks a question you've already answered, just answer the question again. Believe me. It helps." - Mimic: "What are we? Who are we building spacecraft for?" - Starch: "You're an offshoot of highway mimic attracted to patterns woven into this cloth. We're building ships for whoever will buy, but only your opinion matters. If you like it, they'll buy it." #furryart #webcomics #art #comic

Poll: www.patreon.com/posts/124660...
mimic: "How do you go about making a cup holder for artificial gravity problems?" - Starch "How now, I just attach the parts. Problem solving is your thing." - "Attach a cup holder thing." - "You got it." Starch: "Okay, which frame do you want for the spearfisher?" Four choices of spacecraft frames, chosen through a poll on Patreon #furryart #webcomics #quest #scifi
