NEED. TO. CHILL. D=
Ever since I was sick a few weeks ago, I've had study burnout something terrible, and I need to get my act together before my finals--Coming up the week after next. The most common advice I've been given is to just take a break--It's not working.
Good art seems to happen when I'm unhappy. Hmm, well, that explains why my characters aren't usually smiling (And all beaten up and covered in blood and fights and stuff. *Koff* 00)
So here's anthro tazzle in danger of potential mortal wound...age. I've been tossing backstories around in my head, one of them being that Tazzle's a lab experiment.
WHOO BACKSTORY____________________________________
Scientists have successfully created thylacines (and other extinct creatures) by incorporating other animal DNA into the thylacine genome's missing gaps. Of course, by now they also have ridiculous amounts of technology in other areas, and though some of these engineered animals are sent to zoos, the others are kept for ..."medical purposes." Tazzle ends up being more sapient than her creators thought, and realizes that "medical purposes" means she's going to be used as a live organ donor again...and again...and again. She's got those starfish regenerative genes, and her body can temporarily compensate for missing organs until they grow back. And once she's too old to regenerate, they'll turn her into one of those all-the-rage furry purses that glow in the dark due to jellyfish DNA.
And thaaat's how she got into this dilemma. I'm pretty sure Tazzle decided as soon as she started running that it was do or die. If she makes it out, she's going to search for a soul.
She once overheard a scientist mention that animals don't have souls. Tazzle figures that if she can acquire a "soul," they won't experiment on her anymore. Because, you know, apparently there's some taboo against experimenting on anything with a soul.
WHOO BACKSTORY END________________________________
The other idea for a backstory is that she was raised by kiwis birds growing up, but that wouldn't explain the syringes here. |D
This has been possibly the oddest list of songs I've listened to yet while drawing:
-"Sunday Bloody Sunday" by U2
-"The Jetset Life Is Gonna Kill You" by My Chemical Romance
-"Dani California" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers
-"Camisado" by Panic
-"Map of Tasmania" by Amanda Palmer
