Unearthed these old concepts of a jaguar/tapir inspired Baku like thing, from when I still had a faint hope of applying to animation school (before the reality of not enough money fully settling in), I still really like this and a couple friends have been really encouraging about the potential for motion in these, so I’d like to do more stuff to push myself in this direction while I take a break from other stuff.
I swear my favourite stupid trope is very inhuman characters with very mundane and relatable personalities. Like, imagine a hive-mind colony of scuttling posthuman cyborgs whose faces are immobile masks with eyes of piercing flame and whose voices whisper terrible secrets in skin-crawling polyphony, but personality-wise they’re basically a Suburban Garage Sale Dad. Come on in and sit for a while, they made brownies! (They can’t actually eat the brownies – they just enjoy the process of baking them, and hey, more for guests that way.)
No you don’t even know these birds call actually sounds like its saying go away and what it does is it hangs around large groups of herbivores and when a predator shows up it will just start shouting GO AWAY GO AWAY and then all the gazelles and zebras and such will take off.
