Ohhh OwO

i like it ^^

Eye snot?

It's their blood, so no... not just EYE snot. They are snot-bags =D

Oh, ok. Sorry for not reading the description first off. The bone flexibility thing sounds awesome.

Bleeding from the eyes? Does that mean it's going to fall in love with House? (5 pts for the ref)
(P.S. - you might want to color the link, in order to make it stand out. I know, I should do the same, but it helps)

I would make more comments, but after having just watched 'I am Legends' I can't help but want to expose it to UV.

hmmm a rather unique design I say, but any species of Synx I wouldnt mess with

it still want to hug the things^^ Epically Synx^^

Wow... just wow. I LOVE these guys (and am kinda tempted to make my own some day - with your permission of course). The eye is amazing, I love the close up, and THOSE TEETH, oh fuck yes. Just... so amazing <3

blimey... thats scary owo .... but in a good way

I wasn't sure if I liked this one until I read the description. Sweet.

SO BADASS

Your write ups are so excellent. :)

You really should make a book of these creatures!

Ugh, I want a synx so bad :( The amount of detail you put into their descriptions and character sheets is simply amazing.

Who's a cute widdle killer? Yus you is. Yus you iiiis.

Ahem. *Shifty eyes* Carry on then.

The grotesqueness of these creatures is aesthetically intoxicating simply through the work that one can very much tell you put into this. If it weren't for the fact that it would be utterly painful, I'd probably want one of these things to call 'My Parasite.'

Oh wow, for some reason he reminds me of Kefka, doe he kinda look like him to you? This one looks a bit unpredictable.... I not trust him.

Speaking as a biologist, "That's just F'ing cool."

Actually, they aren't really hinged to begin with =D I never did finish the sketch of their skeletal structure, but it's... umm, different. They got a similar bone structure to us, but it's all just kind of floating there in a sea of muscle and meat. What keeps them humanoid-like and stops them from turning into a blob of flesh is the fact that their entire skeleton is covered in what looks like gooey spider webbing; all connected together. Its firm, but stretches, and mostly bounces back to the original shape. You could probably feel this stuff if you pressed into one with your hand; like squishy bungee cords!
As for their muscles, they can stand these seemingly impossible movements because they are all similar to the tongue in their rang of motion and structure. This means they can even move by themselves, so it's not uncommon to see the meat in their arms and legs moving by itself... D= D=

well then you should get onto that sketch xD i've always wondered on how they work O_o

lol not saying you have to ((like it would make a difference lol)) but it would be really neat to see

i would like a synx character too someday ^^ they are unique and interesting looking
awesome job on that though very cool

~ Lady Sin

neat

i wonder what would happen if these creatures wonderd on to monster island where godzilla lives O_O they'd probably love to feed on Godzilla's radioactive flesh

More then likely they'd enjoy living in him rather then eating him. =D

those hands just aren't right! Like creepy ET hands.
Your work actually gives me the creeps, but thats a good thing

interesting so this one doesn't have a name. So does he, I mean it (I can't help but think in terms of masculine and feminine) speak? one can communicate without having a name after all. I thought it was implied Synx could talk but I never asked.

Yes, they can talk. They have child-like voices that sound alien-filtered. =D

omg sounds ADORABLE

Ow god, not another one , think of the children!

So this is their most 'casual' form with the long snout and long hands (I noticed that S'yra has them too)? Red eyes? Is that also because of the infection?

No, only about 20% of them like to keep the long-jaws. The others just use it out of necessity. Nope, thats just the color of it's eyes. They come in every color of the rainbow <3

Necessity? Maybe I missed something, but when (and how) do they use the long jaws?

Because their teeth are modified claws and can move, the top and bottom jaws are basically two extra hands. It always helps to have extra reach! =D Especially if your main hands are occupied.

I love the twisty foot, the hands position, and the mouth shot :D And as always your descriptions <3

it's like cristmas every time you make one of these i swear
either that or everytime a synx is born an angel gets digested in a thunderstorm
wich btw brings up a mighty derp question
how is synx formd?
budding,fission? viral conquest?
i swear you answerd this already(something along the lines of A MYSTERY!!)
but i dun remeber
also holy fuck, more abstract bio notes plz
and mucal blood, did not know that
also also, thank god people know how to include adverse effects of the enviorment on their critters
god



last question, you said this synx could take an adult human, is that only in self defense? or for feeding purposes?

Yes, that is what I said, and that is how it still stands. XD

Ok more notes:
Because their blood is as thick as mucus, obviously a regular human-like heart wouldn't realistically do the job. So rather then one large heart, they have several smaller ones along the length of their body.

They can technically live with their heads lopped off... but don't automatically think zombie. Think cockroach, or even chicken. Yeah, not very useful at all! =D

That stuff on their neck is NOT hair, they don't have a need for hair. It is sticky and changes in moisture; think cotton candy. It's use will be displayed very clearly in the commissioned pic being uploaded soon, and it will make perfect sense why they have had this crap on their neck from the start of their design. Every anatomical trait they have has a purpose.

And yes, for feeding purposes this synx can and does take adult humans.... which will also be displayed in the commissioned pic <3

awwwwsommme
hmm ass for the fluff on their neck, just a geuss but cillia?
i could see it being usefull for pushing trough the organ meat of a larger critter without haveing things like arms and legs get in the way or poke the host in a way that might either give away the synx's position or kill it








and yeah i friggin KNEW i asked that before XD

If you really want to know about the neck tuft:
Synxes are in the practice of medicine, and they apply this practice to their food. Synxs eat like alligators. This means if you are not big enough to swallow, you are being eaten in swallowable chunks. This also means once the Synx’s stomach is full the rest is not wasted, but saved for later. An alligator saves the rotting carcass, but Synxes like their food warm, moving and preferably making lots of unhappy noises. Your bloody stumps will be covered in sticky white clay; clay made from their neck tuft. It is sticky, and like cotton candy changes consistency when wet. It turns to adhesive dough, something the synx can paste onto you. It dries quickly and forms a firm rubber plug over what ever it’s on. This means you won’t get the luxury of bleeding to death! The limbs are most likely always eaten first as well, that way all the vitals stay intact and the meal survives till the next feeding.
The original intent is actually for the animals they burrow in. How else could they make a large hole in somethings body without that something bleeding to death or dying of infection! Luckly they are covered in antiseptic to, just like ants =D Nature is awesome

I thought I was in the loop Synx, what else haven't you told me?!?

I for one welcome our ciliated, filigree-boned, rubbery overlords. Up to the point they start blithering on about football, that is! Do they have better topics of conversation? Science? Philosophy? The nature of existence as a beautiful parasitic, telescope-jawed monstrosity?

There still needs to be a range of malleable yet treacherous Synx toys with voices like Ali Shaw out of the Cranes.

I love the thought you put into these characters, especially the idea about not titling this as a specific name.

Another???

I'm sure this question has been answered before, but my burning curiosity as a biologist far outweighs my patience to go digging through innumerable posts and replies.

How do these fascinating creatures reproduce?

One is produced when the timeline is altered and someone is erased form existance.

...

No, not really XD I actually have no idea myself. Thats part of what makes them interesting =D

Multicellular organismal mitosis!

When one gains enough mass/bodyfat(?)/stockpiled nourishment, then it slowly begins to replicate itself by splitting in half. With such a large, complex creature, it would probably take a long time, splitting along a lengthwise fissure.

Imagine a week into it: a two-headed, split-chested synx, separating from itself along a jagged seam running down its midline: rib from rib, tendon from tendon, organ from organ....It'd be quite a show.

what a fascinating approach. 8O it should be done

I just really want to see a Synx face in the process of dividing, halfway into the separation phase. Cleft jaws, three eye-sockets, possibly with two nictated eyeballs in the middle hole, lips stretched to cover two juxtaposed sets of teeth.... It'd be like that charred body that they find at the Norwegian camp in John Carpenter's "The Thing"

absolutely :U

Knowing your mind you'll probably come up with something as.... "interesting" as the piggies from Orson Scott Card's Speaker for the Dead. If you haven't read it I recomended it. It's in the Ender's Game series. Card is like you except with physics.

ahah. Nevermind, i see it's here. kinda.
my question is answered at least.
it could be some sort of homunculi :U perhaps. When one is obliterated, another one forms...? SO THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE?

Or maybe they bud. Every now and then, a synx gets a nasty blister somewhere on its body, that eventually bursts to release a tiny, fully developed juvenile.

xD how innovative...

Perhaps parthenogenesis?

Also possible, but I ruled parthenogenisis out due to the utter lack of genitalia. An egg or amnion would need to be formed and excreted somehow...but they only have a mouth and a butt. Still, it's always a possibility they adapt to do that somehow.

Perhaps only formed internally, with the new horror clawing it's way out upon the death of it's 'mother'?

No need to be morbid like that. Usually that happens to small, simple organisms anyways, like Dahpnea.

God damn I love your hands!

You're the only person who draws vore critters that I like, despite really not being into vore of any form myself.

Mad fucking props for that. :D

Stop being so damn popular.

Also love the psuedo primate hands and the jutting rear of the jaw in particular. Lip makes me think of someone trying to make a retard face though for some reason... Fuck if I know why though. But were all retards in our own way, this Synx is just so damn hardcore, it doesn't care who sees its inner tard.

Also, sumbitch, I swear I was watching you before. And I find myself really curious to know more about your feelings on vore as well, since you know, its rare to find people who do not puss out on the subject and actually view it for twisted and taboo act it should be, gotta forgive me if you posted about this all somewhere else, I don't get out much.

You know about those reported "miracles" of statues of the virgin Mary crying blood?

I never understood how that was supposed to be a miracle. If I saw a statue crying blood, my first thought would not be "OH THIS IS A SIGN OF GOD'S LOVE AND WE MUST WROSHIP HIM IN ALL HIS GLORY," but "HOLY SHIT THERE ARE GHOSTS IN THE HOUSE KILL IT WITH FIRE!"

I think South Park did a good job with that miracle... XD

I need to watch that episode in full.

oh

pretty much

nice i like

It's got a purdy mouth!!!! Very nice work. I love the long hands too. Lovely!

Ahhh I love it so much! Pretty monster! <3 <3 <3

Your physiological designs are fascinating, I must admit.

Anyway, I like this one too, though a bit less than the other.

>.>

<.<

Please don't eat me.

So unique, nicely done :]

Wow. That is one big smile.
Is there a name for their species? Or are they all called synx, and Synx is the only one named Synx?

There is no name for the species, I call them Synx because I dunno how else to let everyone know what I am talking about XD haha

Its odd that they don't have a name for their species. Especially for one that should be feared, if not by action then definitely but appearance.

The races that know of their species probably give them names, but in all likelihood the names are all different XD

But the names all translate to "OH GOD IT'S COMING THIS WAY!!"

*swoons in the twistedawesome*

People who see them probably get munched. No witnesses means nobody can suggest a name!

I love the detials you put into your pictures yet again makes it perfect, especialyl at your bashing of various things during the whole thing, makes it wonderful. Interesting detials you gave, which will be helpful to me in the future (though be it distant future at current rates) nice work on this thing that will go bump in the night just so it can eat a good helpless meal.

Man, I digg these creatures of yours. I love all the thought put behind them, too. Ahhh. You ever going to do a story/comic thing of them?

*shits* THOSE HANDS ARE AWESOME. I've always loved the long finger thing, but the long HAND thing is totally different!
I love the mouth, the teeth, THE BULDGE, and overall it's the best chimera looking thing I HAVE EVER SEEN. I LOVE THAT THING.
I'll have to draw it soon, if you dont mind. <3

Go for it <3

If Synxs do not have any genital organs... how do they reproduce? I'm sure this is answered somewhere.... but I still don't know ._.

well this is a very cool being from the Synx

This is freaking wicked! I love the amount of time and detail you put not only into the work you make, but into the character and species behind it... it's what makes your art really solid and FUCKING RAD!

Yet again, you amaze me with your detailed character designs. The amount of story and fact that you post along with the picture.. Really makes it that much better.
As an amateur zoologist, I think it'd be interesting to know how such an efficient creature evolved or came into being. I'd be interested in knowing what it's ancestors (if it had any and wasn't just one day 'there') looked like.

Small squishy things that ooze everywhere. They are related to the most basic of lifeforms. =D

......art inspiration attained

Bril design :]

The eyes. They follow me... o.0
Awesome.
^.^

how does it take a shit??? :O

Same way everything else does!

but how to pee then??!?

Better question! Probably the same way a lizard does... out the same hole!

hah! :D cool!

hm.......odd.........but hot

These are fascinating creatures....

In regards to the horns, I'm guessing all synx horns would HAVE to be slicked backwards to make entry easier? Unless one decides to be funky?

Thats just kind of how they grow for the most part. As for entry, it's never a real issue. They pull their horns off before they do that =D They are like giant finger nails, not bones. The base of each one is actually a nub-like part of the skull that is mobile, like a big, flat stubby finger. It helps them move through flesh by using their head to pull.

Ah I see. How convenient!

If these become a movie I will shit myself.

I can barely handle the urge to watch Ailens vs Predators fifty times. /:

very interesting and quite awesome!

hum, I kinda want to try and draw one of these guys. They are so strange and creepy, in a good way

what in gods name is that thing???
o.0'

-stays back-

So this creature has no gender? Or is it both? I'm confused.

What an abhorrent and fascinating creature.

I really like the fact the they are gender-less, I know I wouldn't mind being gender-less.
Flex able bones, bright skin and fur. It is just awesome.

Unic spotted

the eyes look scary.

You know your a sick person when you love this creatures even knowing they would kill you :V

These creatures are attractive^^
