The Witches. First Post Here On Tumblr About My Worldbuilding Project: Encounters In The Frontier.

The witches are the goblin equivalent in my world, but with some peculiarities.

Male witches have a smaller nose, and bigger ears and chin, while female witches can be recognized by their huge nose, this is because only female witches develop the special organ in their nose that they use to make their potions. This organ is similar to the lymphoid organs of humans, but they produce a special kind of antibodies that act more like digestive enzymes. These enzimes can be created on the go when in contact with a new substance and seem to be controled by the witch by some kind of 6th sense. The coating of this cavity can also change depending on its content (acidic, basic etc...). This potion making nose organ gains function after puberty and becomes larger and more powerful the more its used.

Witches live in small groups in wich all of the females are related and males leave after maturity to enter a new group, thus, genetic exchange is secured. This also means that some female-only traditions, such as potion recipes are passed down and kept in these family groups. Their society is matriarchal and the leader is the oldest female with the largest nose.

Their inmune system is very overpowered wich makes them immune to most diseases and parasites but also prone to lethal autoinmune problems. This sadly means that when a plage affects human settlements and cattle but not witches, they are blamed for it.

In their religion, witches believe to be "failed" birds that will reincarnate in a full avian form in heaven. They believe their infants are shamefully unshelled and hide pregnancy and infancy carefully, so much so that most humans and male witches don't know what a baby witch looks like. Witch babies are usually kept in a special hut until all of their baby fur is gone and only then are they introduced to the world. This period of seclusion usually lasts about 4 months and is the equivalent of incubation.

Witch mothers grow thick hair on torso and back after giving birth so that their babys can latch onto it and feed their Young not with milk but with a special kind of nutritious snot.

Witch houses/nests are mainly weaved from dry grass, branches and rope and hanged between canes or tree branches. Some can get really big or be made of stone but its rare.

Sorry For The Lack Of Posting! Here’s A WIP That I Started A While Ago- It’s My Species Of “raptor

Sorry for the lack of posting! Here’s a WIP that I started a while ago- it’s my species of “raptor folk” (name is temporary). This one is a subspecies of desert dwelling aliens. Any suggestions for species names are appreciated!

I’m not super happy with the design yet as they’re quite like earth animals, so any tips are great aswell!

I love it when you order fast food, and you can tell that the worker who made your meal hasn’t yet succumbed to the cold, calloused grip of capitalism

(Thank you to the fast food worker who gave me an extra chicken nugget I love you)

Today I forgot the Russian word for “onion”, so in my moment of confusion I said “pryanoye yabloko” which basically translates to “spicy apple”. I mean?? I guess it makes sense 😭??

I’m curious to see what mistakes like this others have made.. please share, I need a laugh 😭

How do you type laughing in your language or conlang?

English: ha ha ha

Russian: ха ха ха (pronounced: kha kha kha)

I’m actually so curious

Facial Scarring (Matt Murdock/Daredevil)

Recently I’ve been thinking about how Matt Murdock in both the comics and the tv show, has little to no obvious physical damage around his eyes, despite being blinded by chemical burns. So I’ve taken it into my own hands to brainstorm some ideas for what the burns might look like.

Keep in mind, I am not a medical professional. The information here is based on publicly available medical information I found in research papers, alongside my limited pre-existing knowledge.

I would also like to state that different types of burns can be caused by different kinds of chemicals, however comprehensive information about this was difficult to find.

Facial Scarring (Matt Murdock/Daredevil)

The top three images are various types and degrees of corneal scarring. The bottom two are scaring on both the eye and surrounding area.

I love interactions and if you do any art based on this please @ me! Id love to see it! If you have any questions, ask them and I’ll answer in a part two!

Here’s Some Elves Based On Non-human Primates! Suggestions And Ideas Are Appreciated!

Here’s some elves based on non-human primates! Suggestions and ideas are appreciated!

Elves (Speculative Biology)

If elves were real, what do you think they’d descend from? Personally I find them being a subspecies to be a little bit boring. Please lmk!! I’m considering for my fantasy world

Does anyone else find that certain topics do better on different apps?

For example, on Tumblr my speculative biology, aliens and Minecraft stuff does really well, whereas any posts of cat or furry artwork does significantly worse. However instagram is the opposite- cats do well, and aliens don’t.

I just find it odd is all 🤔

Here Are The Cuts Of Meat. Offal Is Not Included Here, But Is Mostly Inedible Due To The Strider’s

Here are the cuts of meat. Offal is not included here, but is mostly inedible due to the Strider’s diet (warped fungus), which is toxic to Players and Piglins. Every cut of meat is technically edible, although many parts are tough and disagreeable on the stomach.

Btw, please ask questions or requests if you have them! I love answering them :)

Strider Saddles

Response to @mesmerizms !:

Strider Saddles

In the initial art I did, I was a bit lazy with the saddle drawing, but I’ve made this to clarify some things!

Strider Saddles

Strider Saddles

Here’s a strider without a saddle, a strider with only a saddle blanket, a strider with a blanket and a saddle, and a strider with reins.

There’s lots of room for different colours and patterns on the blanket, including tassels like the one in the picture! There’s now a saddle horn and reins to hold onto (although I’m not sure how feasible they are), as well as stirrups.

Keep in mind, I’m basing this off of my prior knowledge + some cursory research. I’ve never ridden a horse or any other animal 😅
