Lay your arm on a flat surface and push
your thumb and pinky together. If you
don’t see a raised band across your
wrist, you are a product of evolution.
If you do, you’ve got a useless extra
muscle in your arm that is slowly being
erased from our genetic code. Source

I just did some research on this and apparently this muscle actually helps you hold a spear (something we as a majority haven’t needed to do much of in recent times, thus it is a mutation that is neither harmful nor helpful to lack this muscle)
But I’ll see you all in the post-apocalyptic world with my genetic advantage to hold and throw spears~

Important lancer test.

Mun has the thing. Mun always wondered why their forearms looked so muscular.

An adult insect wing is basically dead. Most of it is dried up, like a dead leaf. Only a little bit — the skinny dark lines called veins — have living, breathing parts inside. Or so Rhainer Guillermo Ferreira thought. So what were those little pipes that looked like breathing tubes doing in the dried parts of dragonfly wings?

Guillermo Ferreira was stunned. The pipes looked like tracheal tubes. They are what carry oxygen to living tissues in insects. So why would tissue that was supposed to be dead need to breathe? That’s what this insect biologist — or entomologist — working at Kiel University in Germany was curious to know.

So he asked another insect biologist to take a look. This colleague, too, was “shocked.” They now brought in yet a third entomologist. Still, there was shock all around.

The shimmering blue wings of male Zenithoptera (Zeh-neh-THOP-tur-uh) dragonflies might be unexpectedly alive, Guillermo Ferreira now suspects.

I’ve had the opportunity to see a lot of spooky/horror films with my sister lately, and it’s been great for monster dude inspiration, haha. Here’s three new dudes +bonus Bishop. (I missed drawing monster guys ahhhhhhhh)

Some notes! Mr. Scratch is a redesign of an old character I had in 2012. As you’ve probably guessed, he’s Actually The Devil. Write your name in the Red Book, get whatever material thing you want, boom bam, lose your soul. Though he doesn’t focus on breaking down the righteous and the devout – Scratch appears to those who have been broken and beaten by the world, to those who are willing and who feel they have nothing left to lose.

Strings is a quiet fellow, a ghoul/spirit who is not at all malicious. Just creepy. Does a lot of looming in peripherals. He is attracted to negativity and feeds on it. He’ll follow individuals with a lot of sorrow or negativity until they have no more left to eat, and then quietly go on his way to find a new source of food. Strings begins to look more rotted and frightening the more negative energy he eats, so essentially the more good he does the scarier he appears.

Bishop is a haunted real estate agent who is also a big sensitive baby. He’s an older character, inspired by these crazy vintage costumes. (I want one.)

I’ve always loved the idea of porcelain faces hiding hideous monsters and unspeakable terrors. William is a lurker of high society. He blends in fairly well, despite his appearance, and is able to fool people into trusting him. You can usually find William on dark street corners or in quiet hallways.
