Continued a sketch of my Centaurpede Telelia. Used black paper and some greyscale colored pencils. I do imagine her living in dark environments, preferring the solitude of a den over the blazing sun and open skies.

Sketch on black paper of my OC Telelia the centaurpede. Instead of devil bat wings she has 2 pairs of long spider like appendages and instead of a tail she has an entire segmented body of a centipede, which makes her a Taur. Not shown are her giant moth/butterfly wings, however that variant happens when she feeds and molts! Just like a pupa ( a stage of bug life cycle.)

I've used the next 2 images to describe what's on this paper better

Hopefully this is a better shot of the lower part of the whole image. This is telelia front view- her right arm is raised in an after snap, left arm is out, reaching forward towards viewer. Her second set of arms are holding a stagf weapon that has an orange glow at the large end, the other end pointed. She stands on 2 legs with a small view of her segmented body behind her. There are 7 other legs shown in various moving positions. Around her body is a circle of light drawn with beams shooting outward like a magical affect and in between her 6 horns is also a gleaming light source. I also tried to draw her 5 compound eyes ( so that's ten eyeballs ) gleaming with white light but they're kinda lost amongst the rest of her facial details ( the head is physically small on the paper, ope!)

Just a repost of the head on the tip of the image showing Telelia's bust. The only inconsistency I've drawn is that her 2 lowest horns should be jutting forward and curling under her jawbone/mandibles. Here one can see her 5 compound eyes, her antenna, 6 horns, a pair of pointed ears, her crooked sharp smile, jutting cheekbones that house her 2 mandibles underneath ( technically her entire jaw can transform into a monster form by detaching hence why her jawline is also jagged ) her chin has 2 points, nose is supposed to be flat but I find that hard to draw sometimes. She has an orb of Fell Light that levitated between her horns, a symbol of her raw power.

For #FossilFriday meet something of a rarity - a fossil centipede. Like last week's fossil, this is a macerate - the remains of an animal dissolved out of a rock using strong acid. The fossil, called Devonobius, is from NY state, and is around 385 million years old. Isn't it cool? 🤩

⚒️🧪🦀🦑 #evosky

Ani image of a fossil centipede (left, top right), and a modern comparison (bottom right). The fossil is a dark brown colour, and is quite fragmented - the front is towards the top, and you can see on the left, the anterior end with some legs and mouthparts, and on the right, some mean looking mouthparts. The bottom right is a better preserved, modern, mean looking set of mouthparts. Full caption from the paper: (A,B) Devonobius delta Shear & Bonamo, 1988, a pleurostigmophoran chilopod from the Middle Devonian of New York. (A) Dorsal view of head and anterior part of trunk; (B) maxillipedes. (C) Craterostigmus tasmanianus maxillipedes (cleared in Hoyer’s) for comparison with those of Devonobius delta; note absence in C. tasmanianus of ventral apodemes.

WASSUP NEW SKETCH MORNING

I wanna lore dump this bitch so hard you could write a lifetime of break-up albums 🤣

Jokes aside I may just info-dump on my OC Telelia, shown here being a magical monster girl.

#monstergirl #furry #furryart #art #taur #magicgirl #chilopod #fursona #bugsona #sketch #moth

Telelia the centaurpede. Her legs are retractable like a cat's claws so when she flies they don't drag on the wind. Teli is shown in her full segmented glory. She holds a staff weapon in her right bottom hand, the top right ( hers!) Has an orb of channeled magic. Behind all of that is also her 2 spider legs, all 4 appendages manipulating a black weave or dark energies shown with the silvery swirls. The light orb in her six horns has collapsed into a microverse. Her left top hand has many orbs forming while her bottom left commands the black waters of Genesis. She is flying on moth wings like a seraphim and has many halos within them like an ophanim. Her wings are orange/yellow and have archaic writings within them. Teli's shown here with a long lower body and a segmented tail made up of many legs. Also shown are 4 large spinneretts. Teli flies with the help of POWERFUL magic.

AFTERNOON SKETCH

Ron thinks me trying out black paper will increase my skillzzz

Teli beating up a red dragon because a devil thought a bug couldn't penetrate such a thick hide.

#dragon #furry #furryart #art #bug #bugsona #fursona #moth #chilopod #OC #reddragon #drawing #sketch

The full page. Telelia has her 6 wings unfolded and shown in motion as she's attacking a red dragon. She has her staff stabbing into the neck above the dragon's left clavicle and Telelia's tail and subsequent lower body is shoved directly into the cheat cavity of the flying beast. Telelia uses her "halos" on her wings to generate magical energy to achieve flight. The dragon has a dying flame escaping it's open mouth and is drawn with a wide eye stare as it's fire is being extinguished. Telelia is drawn with moth wings, the final set being modeled after a luna moth, trailing behind in a twin twirl. The dragon, mid flight, will plummet in its untimely demise. Drawn with colored pencils in the grey scale and red for the dragon.

This is a closer look at the drawing: Telelias characteristics and features tend to get lost: here she is shown with her lower body penetrating the chest of the red dragon in a burst of blood. She uses her hind legs to steady herself as she rams her staff weapon into the creatures throat. The red dragon gives out its final breath in a weak burst of flames and embers, wide eye in surprise: a bug can after all take on a dragon. Dragon is drawn with red colored pencil and a light grey highlight. Telelia is drawn with grey scale pencils, her 6 wings in mid flight. They are fashioned after moths, each wing with a hole in it that acts like a halo. Telelia is inspired by biblical angels such as seraphim and ophanim as well as being a centipede, which makes her a taur. I also drew this as a demonstration of Telelia's flight and battle capabilities because she's often seen as a bug to be trampled on. She enjoys this power struggle.
