Mal

Every time I scroll past this, I think to myself "the text on this post is specifically targeting me"

I would have cleaned this up a bit, but I'm gonna be honest, I literally have a whole sequence planned between these two now that I'm want to draw instead lskdjflsjdkfh

BACK TO NORMAL SOON I SWEAR (EVENTUALLY) (MAYBE)

Rav waving an elongated rubber typhlosion, both of them happily staring at each other. The typhlosion has a long torso, a long neck, and grotesquely long arms with super long floppy hands.

okay this is just a rough doodle that I did last night and I originally wasn't gonna post it but I keep opening it up to stare at it, I feel like I'm going insane LSKJDFSKJDH

HEHE it's hellawatt's design, so credit goes to them!

bsky.app/profile/hell...

quick little collaby collab with @hellawatt.bsky.social :)

mal as a huge, incredibly elongated typhlosion, with a really long neck, arms and torso. They are standing over top of rav, who is nervously staring at mal's butt. Mal has a very smug expression way WAY above rav

mal you're getting carried away stop

Confession: the last pic was actually something I drew weeks ago but I was too embarrassed to share it. I figured while I'm on this huge elongation kick, I might as well post all this stuff now lskdjfhldskjfh

"It's always really funny to listen to the sound of him breathing when he stretches out like this; a deep breath is suddenly something that takes two whole minutes to complete"

Rav laying in the grass, resting his head on the chest of an someone with an extremely elongated torso. Their head and legs literally extend out of frame, their torso longer than rav is tall. They gently hold rav

A little nap under the sun

I guess in summary, it's fun to me because it's so unbelievably strange and unusual and it's somehow just extremely fun to draw, like you can just doodle whatever anatomy you want and characters being happy with each other, it's just really nice lsdkjhljsdk

Outside of that, it's a few other things!
- I just love things that are overwhelmingly bizarre so a character happily stretching their torso out for no reason is SO CUTE TO ME
- There are so many variations!! I've doodled elongated necks, torso, limbs and even weird stuff like fingers and muzzles

A massive inflatable black panther guarian standing on the roof tops of an entire block of buildings. Despite lacking eyes, they have their head pointed right at you, as if staring

A bright yellow rubber taur monster with four eyes, four arms and six legs. They have an oddly cheery background despite how weird they look

I have a few other examples of this! Panthuar (pic 1) specifically prefers macro forms so that they can caress the mountains, and the more limbs Varaxus has (pic 2), the more contented he feels.

I've always had such a hard time describing it since it's like so many small things, but to try and summarize it into a few key points: I love the idea of characters finding comfort in forms that are otherwise extremely bizarre and nonsensical. It's the casual acceptance of something impossible

I am still so delighted and honestly somewhat shocked that so many people are relating to and enjoying the elongation stuff. It feels like it's the most niche thing ever to me, so the fact that people are interested makes me so happy. You guys are really sweet!!

Mal as a rubber typhlosion doing a floaty pose. He has an exceptionally long neck, with a little indicator next to his had that shows he has a height of 10 feet

Several quick sketches of mal with various elongated proportions. In one, he has extremely long legs and arms, giving him an almost anthropomorphic propotions. In another, he's walking on all fours with super long legs and arms. In the last sketch, he's lying on his back with a super long torso, kicking his legs up onto the air.

okay since it seems like people are having fun with it, I'll quickly share some of the weirder long mal typh doodles I did since I did multiple today lsdkjfhlsdkjfh

Aaaaaah this is like the sweetest thing ever, thank you!!

yes i still draw elongation i actually never stopped doodling it and it's just really fun to draw and i still feel like it's the weirdest thing ever and it's so embarrassing but it being weird and embarrassing is exactly what makes it fun to draw and it's just really fun to explore poses and and and

Various poses of mal as a rubber typhlosion, but with a torso that's way longer than usual, making them like 10 feet tall. In one pose, he is lying on his back and bouncing rav on him, who looks disgruntled at being bounced around.

mal that's not how typhlosions are supposed to look what are you doing

Oh wow, last Tuesday was literally the 10 year anniversary of me creating the mal account. I should have been more on top of that LOL

A big snake that looks like a rectangular prism, with a color pallete of purple, pink, blue, pops of mint.

A doodle of one of @squeaky.monster s rectangles :)

This is like so infinitely fascinating to me, both because the change between each iteration feels so subtle yet so tangible, but also because I can see like the exact stage that I drew that fanart I did of them way back in the day! This is such a neat thing to be able to capture!!

The balloon shapeshifter and rav floating in space. The balloon has taken the form of a massive alien looking wyvern, with strange looking wings and an extraordinarily long neck that just ends in a pointed tip. Their head is very intently pointed at Rav, who is tiny by comparison and peacefully staring back.

An Encounter

Mal's recommendation of the day:
Create overpowered shapeshifter characters that love you

two images of trufours the inflatable rabbit with squeaky.monster's Balloon shapeshifter. In the first picture, he's wrapped around trufours, a little larger than a scarf, cuddling him. in the second picture, he's grown and is now enveloping trufours, wrapped all around him.

happy to see me @squeaky.monster

lujo the demon as a balloon dog. He is laying on his back, grabbing his legs to lift them up, showing off his rear and tail

you can't tell but he's probably like 7 ft tall

A message from frengers that says "I'm at board games and idk why this cards description reminded me of you" with a photo of a Monikers card that says "An ass that won't quit - A big booty, a humongous heinie, a protuberant posterior, a full fanny, a colossal caboose, a booming butt, a capacious keister. You get the idea."

Chaos in the form of a rubber big rubber dragon-esque guy smooshing his butt against rav. He has speech bubbles over him which is just the card text copy pasted, including the point value of the card

A huge inflatable monster deity (Vollukoth) hunched over with his big hands over his mouth, giggling as if he's got a big secret

TEEHEE

This one isn't, but I also have one that has been drawn rubbery a few times (by @/squeaky.monster)

TEEHEE

Funny thing, I actually drew a Malugia a while back but I never really finished it lskdjhflsd
