Okay, Here Are Some Rough Sketches Of An UltraMOOrines Chaplain (specifically Their Helm)

Was kinda getting burned out a bit on Warhammer40k, for now, at least. So, I moved to my alternative hyperfixation.

I also just meant these to be sketches, but... whoops 🤷‍♀️

we're doomed by the narrative quick let's fuck nasty to subvert it

I feel like not enough of the primarchs really have memorable mothers

Like I can only really think of, Guilliman's mom, Leman's Wolf Mom, and kinda Putrabo's sister(not a mom but still very prominent/memorable woman related to a primarch)

Like I get it, give them Daddy issues before they meet Emps, and then they get to have real daddy issues, but still.

I feel that's such a missed opportunity

Like give Angron a warrior mom who survived years in the pit because she had to be strong, but something in Angron unlocks a violent maternal instinct she thought she would never feel. It's not the usual "motherly instincts" but more like a lioness'

Or give Logar a priestess/holy mother nun, someone to foster his love for the religion, encourage his blind worship and devotion. And thinking him a gift from the gods.

Like, I'm not saying replace every dad with a mom, but I feel like an even distribution would give more narrative creativity!

That's also how I ultimately feel about making some Primarchs into Fem Primarchs. I feel they should have had, let's say, half the cannon primarchs be their fem variants. I feel that for some, it would have fit their storylines better.

Like ngl, Morty is my favourite, but hot take...

I feel his story would hit so much better if he was fem.

Cause one thing I picked up on is not a lot of 30k/40k fans like mortarion, or they just find him boring. (Im saying most people i have encountered and also pretty much every 40k youtuber I've seen), but i feel if he was Mortica, something might click.

It would hit different cause now u have a girl being used and abused by her toxic father, and then her vengeance is stolen from her by a man she doesn't even know. She is constantly trying to become more resilient, turning her resentment into bile.

It changes the meta-context and the readers perspective. Sure, 40k is so far in the future that gender and sex don't matter, but us as outside observers would then think and discuss Mortarion/Morticia's position with the very raw reality of how a majority of women/fem people are victimised irl.

And when they overcome it, they're hurt, they're changed and far less willing to be corjal with people. They have every right to be mad, to be hurt, but society sees them as jaded, as "a cold hearted bitch" and "just broken"

And it's this meta text being super imposed from real life experiences and knowledge that makes Morty more relatable.

Especially to a fem audience. She would then feel like the definition of female rage; quiet, intense, lured hate, all hidden behind a mask. Despite most knowing what she has gone through, they still feel uncomfortable being around her. Thinking she could be nicer, she should be sweeter and bounce back like she was designed to do.

But she can't. She's been tortured, her only vengeance taken from her. All by men, all by psykers. She loathes them all. She's traumatised and has built emotional walls so tight, not even Putrabo(who I also feel would be fem) could crack them.

To answer ur question, it is a prosthetic. He was grown in a vat, and after his "birth," he had too many defects, so his father did save him by implanting a whole host of cybernetics. Afterwards, however, He deemed to make more like Kaine would be a waste of resources and cancelled the experiments.

One thing I wanted to do to set my "Fur-splicers" apart was make it so they'd have to have either non augmented when they started the transition or have most, if not all, of their pre existing cybernetics removed. The Fur-spliceing process does increase ones healing factor as they transition, so most don't feel the loss.

Anyone with nessisary augments (heart, eyes, limbs) or that want them have to buy specialised ones that fit their shifting anatomy.

And Augmo Inc. (the corp that make the anthro hrt) don't make anthro cybernetics. That's a separate corp, Lion Corps.

Next character reference sheet for "Returning to our Roots"

Kaine Augmo, "son" of Adam Augmo.

The main antagonist for the story.

His father had him made from scratch. He is one of the only Anthro's who was never human. He was raised to be his father's body gaurd, and eventually, his brother's.

He is a weapon underestimated by his father, who didn't think Kaine could handle running Augmo Inc. Kaine would prove his father wrong.

There was only one other merc who could match Kaine in hand to hand combat. Unfortunately, she nolonger stalks the streets of New Bright City.

See, this is why I like drawing/writing cross species(faction) in 40k. It's so much more complex and unique. As compared to the basic watered down relation ships of regular scifi.

Also, don't forget Abhumans who are practically an array of human-like different species. If a "regular" human dates one, it's seen as either taboo or downright disgusting. And if a xenos dates them, then it's like a spicy version of what you've covered.

Xenophilia in other sci-fi: Human John, your kind already fascinates me, but even then, you manage to stand out among your kin! Would you like to partake in my homeworld's traditions to... strengthen our bond?

Xenophilia in Warhammer 40k: You could go for a blue skinned hooved girl, but she is going to have a government mandated pregnancy by someone from her race, so I hope you're into being NTR'ed. No, you can't do anything about this. You could go for a Space Elf™ gf, but she's going to call you a racial slur everytime you breathe. Also, the rest of her race thinks she is a zoophile for being with you. Oh, and avoid Goth Space Elves™. I REPEAT - AVOID GOTH SPACE ELVES™ AT ALL COST. You could go for a tall mommy robot skeleton gf, but she doesn't have any, ehem, "fun parts"... So she will either make you do something incredibly insane and dangerous to entertain herself or she's going to grow bored of you and kill you. Not liking any of those options? Don't worry! If you're good enough of a fighter - you may get an Ork bf, who will try to KRUMP YA! Remember, the boyz LOVE fighting, so the harder you fight your Ork boyfriend - the more he thinks you love him. Good luck!

Judge me if you must, but I think this is a cute head canon.

Morticia(Mortarion) is super grunge, sure, but i can totally see her after an isolating and stressful day leading a gruesome atrition campaign, settling down with her colouring book, plushy and playing old holotapes of some mindless imperial propaganda cartoon(think old loony toons)

This may not be a popular way to unwind, but it's her's.

I'm the one who likes to be bitten. But sadly I don't have anyone to bite me 🥺 😭

me n who (I can be both)

Hey. International people.

Keep calling it the Gulf of Mexico or whatever your term is for it. Do not allow the Republican regime to label that body of water the Gulf of America to the world. The name came from a the term Mexica, what the Aztecs called themselves. It’s been called the Gulf of Mexico since the 1600s.

Keep calling it Denali. The original name before it was Mount McKinley. Don’t let the Indigenous Peoples/First Nations be erased.

It may sound stupid and petty. But it is an attempt to rewrite history and make us forget the origins. It is a literal white washing of history. This type of censorship is a beginning to greater evils.

Hi everyone! I'm Mouse!

Some of you may recognize me from the trans deer centaur comic I made on here a few years ago. (As seen below)

While most of you still probably don't know me at all- and that's okay!

I'm hoping to bring a lot of art and good vibes to the community here. So, having said that- welcome to my cottage! Sit down, stay awhile, grab a blanket and a cozy drink while I tell you a story and show you my art ^^
