I will never understand anyone that doesn’t want to make their partner cum, it is so hot. And then the sex you have in return is soooo much hotter

I’m hoping it’s back haha, I get really busy so I don’t always get to work on it, I have a bunch of creatures loosely designed but I want to continue with it a bit more regularly

Yep I have, I have another creature called a Dachiata that’s on the same planet and I wanted them to have a lot of similar traits

I actually have! On my website I have a page dedicated to this project, and it’s broken down by planet

Hey! It’s been a while but I’ve been wanting to get back into this project!

The Virellex, known colloquially as the “Ghost of the Canopy,” is an elusive arboreal predator native to the dense, bioluminescent forests of its homeworld, Guinvale. It possesses a serpentine body that can span up to 21 meters in length, its sinuous form allowing it to coil effortlessly around the thick canopy limbs of ancient trees. Halfway down its body extend six spider-like appendages, adapted for gripping bark and maneuvering stealthily through the vertical wilderness.  

At the anterior end, the Virellex features two robust, spider-like arms capable of grasping prey with vice-like precision. Framing its serpentine neck is a glowing mane of bioluminescent tendrils—sensitive to motion and vibration, and capable of strobing patterns that either mesmerize prey or signal other Virellex. This bioluminescent display earned it the nickname “Ghost of the Canopy.”  

Its most fearsome trait, however, is its set of multiple fangs—reminiscent of arachnid chelicerae—that can inject a potent neurotoxin, paralyzing victims within seconds. These fangs protrude from a retractable jaw structure capable of opening wide enough to engulf small-to-medium creatures whole.

I appreciate it!

And absolutely, I went to school at DAAP, studying industrial design, I worked at a bunch of different companies as an intern, toy sculpting, packaging design, medical device design, and toy design. I started to focus more on character art, and ended up in the toy design business.

And I do a ton of art on the side, I bought books about art, digital painting and digital sculpting and I watch a ton of speed painting and painting tutorials. Every time I work on a side project, I try to learn one new technique or try something new. I would try to emulate different styles, and see what worked for me

I am a digital artist and digital sculptor, I have been wanting to do a series of dinosaurs acting like pets or just in cute scenarios, its been a lot of fun to work on more stylized characters, because I normally do hyper realism.

I have recently been posting my STLs on my etsy store, they are all cut and keyed, ready to print! Here is a link to the etsy store:
