I've Been Wondering - What Are The Tiny Arms On The Slomen?

I've been wondering - what are the tiny arms on the slomen?

The limbs on the sloman back are somewhat vestigial since they are not necessarily but most will still use them for their intended purpose in some way.

The "chicken wings" are often attractive to slomen as they help with childcare. Having strong or flexible mid limbs can make expanding family easier (you don't have to buy carry-bags).

Men will carry the meat eggs (external womb) before it hatches. After that the women often take the main role in nurturing the slims, since they are the ones with "crop pouches" full of milk-like substance.

The chicks get tired easily so even after hatching, the wings will find use for carrying.

On top of that, women grow long textured feathers on their wings, very attractive.

Some cultures don't allow showing wings or chest pouches while others don't care or they have it status based.

The colors on the picture aren't realistic and are more meant to differentiate sections of the characters. Real meat eggs are darker and have feathers of the parent's color.

my sweet boys-

gift art from the awesome @filurig!! you must follow him if you haven't

Happy year that is new! Happy 24th year yeaaa! Happy year! Marry years!

First time I have ever done a year art summary. Until 2023 I just never had the mental strength, drive, medication or time to draw the way I do now. Not that I have many of these today but getting into worldbuilding and spec bio really helped me because I can draw whatever I want.

I can draw character art, thematic art, story art, biology art, explanation art, creature concept art, culture art.............

And all in the little neat package of one universe I get to care for.

Thank you for all the positive attention and happy moments. I also thank you a lot for 1500 followers. Sorry I didn't have time to celebrate the number yet. I'm so grateful.

I hope 2024 can be like this again. Love yall.

I'm sorry about this

silly

Neal and Neil let's say

Random slug post before I finish my extremely procrastinated-on art.

But I have an excuse! (Christmas)

Kinda a slugsona design.

Gourmand but bigger and one that can barely even throw. Combat is 90% melee.

The claws are misleading, this slug doesn't scratch opponents as much as it crushes them and suffocates them.

It's also very slow if it doesn't roll (but can roll for veeery long).
