Just wanted to share the birg patch I embroidered on my hoodie! I feel like the fully completed photo dosent do it justice because some of the threads have swayed a bit since it’s been washed

Birdbugs by @iguanodont !! They're literally my favorite critters ever, running around my head rent free.

Finally managed to draw out some birdbug OC ideas, big fella's Maalzir and little fella hiding is Ohm, playing hide-and-seek with his buddies!

Another @iguanodont 's birgworld fanart.

A Birg climbing a mountain while a Cliffstriker watches... Where are they going...

A simple gouache practice this time with new techniques such as layering an underpaint before painting. Still need to tame this new brush...

I made a Birg in Spore! @iguanodont

Here it is next to the Birrin I did a while ago!

Sick moves bro.

Last Weekend I was at the Oberurseler Feyerei, a renaissance fair type of event in Oberursel.

I think this was a buzzard.

A lonely little fish-creature meets a goblin. Not that young Ahab knew what a goblin was at the time, but they became good friends nonetheless. The goblin’s name is Checkermint, or “Checkers”.

this is Wooloob, a birg from @iguanodont's world. he is spectacularly boring and thus forever alone, despite being a good glassblower and handsomely foreign looking. his name was given to him by fairy godmother @dimetrodone and is no fault of mine

Hehe Birgworld oc

I finally attempted to draw a birg. I introduce Chik’Whi. They’re a weird, polite birdbug from a Puyok tribe. Their only friends are random bugs they find in the brush. They like to chat, but…as I said their only friends are bugs. 😔

The birdbugs and their world belong to @iguanodont

Specposium's Spectember day 30: Your favourite spec critter!

I like many spec projects but one that i like the most is @iguanodont Birgworld here on Tumblr. The birgs are simply so charismatic and nice to draw so i used this as an exercise with gouache, i like it, in the middle of the process i hated it but it came out nicely after the lineart. Not sure about birg's color variety tho.

This was a nice spectember challenge and it was a good exercise at spec and art, looking forward for the next one. Back to the normal posts now.

So we aren't going to talk about how Cyrus probably had to CRAWL out of the factory floor because his wheelchair was all the way at the top of Borg Tower(and his artificial limbs seem broken)?? HELLO?? ANYONE?

Hello!!

I really adore all the birg worldbuilding!!!

I was planning on making my own birg OCs and story, but i needed to ask, i saw these birg predators that look like bigger birgs but with mantis arms; Do they have cultures? How do they get along with birgs? I NEED TA KNOOWW

Tbh I’ve waffled on how I want to approach them for a while, in their current iteration they are very intelligent animals, as a chimp or gorilla with the habits of a lion might be to us. They may have rudimentary cultures unique to their small social units like orcas, but they lack a fully fledged language. They are frequently solitary or in bonded pairs, working collaboratively to raise cubs for up to 5 years before the offspring set out on their own. As a pair, they are formidable predators, one working to flush prey into the ambush of the other, with occasional support from their young. Large midarms are used to restrain prey while the hooked beak finds a vital artery or the brain of the animal. The beak-like chelicerae are also capable of protruding from the face to give a little extra reach to their bite.

They produce low hums and grumbles to communicate, many of which are below the register of a birg’s ears, but resonate through their bodies in an unsettling manner. Their elbow pinnae are much more prominent than those of birgs. Rather than hibernate, most extant populations cross the ice belt each fall to follow the sun to the other hemisphere. Others do as the ombs and continue to hunt through the long night.

As for their relationship with birgs, they are frequently embellished in art and folklore as werewolf or ogre-like monsters. A widespread story explaining the Twowi taboo against consuming the flesh of trunkhorses warns that those who wantonly spill blood as the HaJhaub do will be cursed to transform into one. The kakroum warn their children to never stray from their nanny or speak curses of their aunties, lest the Oh’jub should hear them and steal them away in the night. In some tales, the child is simply eaten, but other legends insist that the Oh’jub produces no offspring of her own, but instead transforms young birgs into more Oh’jub by feeding them her own blood, as a birg would nourish their infant larvae.

So yeah hope this helps
