#hyooman

Anywho you can thank @bugybrainz for giving me the lovely idea of Ej’s mom carrying him around like that when he was a new born. I like to think that Hyooman babies are probably a BIT stronger and better off than human babies, so neck support isn’t really something needed to be worried about. (Think how baby sharks are ready and fine to swim pretty soon after birth)

Anyway have the bonus baby Ej because he’s so ugly

So I decided for this one that I SHOULDNT put all of the important info right on the sheet with my terrible hand writing, so I’m trying a new system! All of the little drawings there with numbers will be referenced here by their numbers. Alright here we go:

Just his normal stance. He prefers to keep his hands in his pockets rather than just out and dangling there, nothing too important.

Pretty much the same thing but I figured it would be a good idea to actually show his full arm. ALSO if you see his eyes, that’s what it looks like when he blinks cuz it’s fun to draw that way lol. His glasses are still there, it’s just a stylistic thing. Plus you can see his eye bags (more on that at 9)

His tail! Made it BIGGER and MORE CLEAR because Someone told me once that it looked like a ribbon in the last sheet (you know who you are /silly). That little line to the left indicated where his hoodie normally falls on him, thus you can tell his tail is normally covered up pretty well. He doesn’t intentionally hide it- he doesn’t care- it just happens. Also worth mentioning, the scales on his shoulders (see 4) actually go down in a line across his spine and lead to his tail, hence the teal coloration on his back. His tail is underdeveloped yet so it doesn’t really do much. Oh and yes the tail does wag, in case you were wondering (it’s just VERY, VERY rare.)

Without his hood! There’s quite a bit here. For starters, I actually changed his hair a bit- it’s more swept back by default when not tied up (he usually doesn’t tie it up if it’s under his hood cuz what’s the point lol that was just so you could see his scales.) Speaking of his scales, I know they LOOKS really thick and rough but that’s just cuz I’m bad at texturing them so far. They’re actually pretty smooth- think more like a snake than a fish actually (assuming you’ve. Felt as snake before.) His “gills” aren’t actually functional either. They’re just little divots in his scales. I like to think that Hyoomans use their gills as a sort of “minor secondary oxygen intake system,” and so, because he’s half human, those ones just never formed fully and are useless. His ears are also slightly underdeveloped, but this should even itself out later on. They also don’t really have scales like the rest of his body and feel more like highly condensed, rough cartilage. Him and his mom both actually have odd ears from hyooman standards, but honestly those guys vary so much and are so mutated that it’s not THAT weird.

His webbing! His webbing is just an extension of the webbing humans already have (if you want a reference, fully stretch out your fingers and look in between them!) and are more colored, like his mom’s. Mostly just assists in swimming for hyoomans. He also has hooked claws! See, most animals that eat fish (assuming that’s what hyoomans mainly eat- which I think so) have hooked weapons they use to help catch slippery fish. And, because claws are connected to bone, he gets pads too! They’re not too big, but they’re there. His fingers are actually pretty long, but they’re webbing makes them seem sorta normal lol

Top down of his hood. That’s it

His teeth and various expressions! So, like his claws, these are also hooked to assist in fish catching. His teeth honestly don’t show that much when he talks because he doesn’t. Really open his mouth that wide (see: all of the little expressions I have there.) BUT when he smiles wide (rare) his canines poke out a little. I normally don’t even draw his mouth on him unless he’s talking though because honestly it doesn’t make much of a difference lol

piercings! Normally he doesn’t have them all in like that, actually. He just has in studs or nothin. But if it’s a fancy occasion or something he’ll wear them. (He NEVER wears ones like that if he’s doing science stuff. Big hazard.) Some of his fancy ones are actually his mom’s old ones. He never wears them otherwise

Without glasses! He’s actually VERY nearsighted and can’t see at all! Well, maybe not as blind as Velma without her glasses lmao but yeah he can’t read at all without them. You can also very clearly see his eye bags without his huge glasses covering them up! Oh should also mention while on the topic: Just like his mom, he’s very light sensitive! I think that Hyoomans, due to living in a cave, have evolved to not need light as much. So, even while he’s grown used to it by now, it can still occasionally overwhelm him.

the dreaded side profile for the LOSERS who can’t draw it (me)
