Predators of Tacoma [WIP]

Hiya folks! I'd be way further on this, but people keeping BUYING shit from my SHOP.

Tacoma, or Tahoma, is (unfortunately) named Mt Rainier in Washington, USA, and one of several notable mountains in the region for its ease-of-access, large range of wildlife (seriously, there were SO many species I had to pick from on this), and visibility/proximity to major cities in the area such as Seattle, Tacoma, and Olympia (capitol of WA! not Seattle! baffle your friends!)

This view is from Reflection Lakes, to the south, where I felt the Eagles would be able to meet the sky from the massive fir (300ft tall they can get!) in the forest, while also being near tributaries to Puget Sound, access of waterways to the Pacific. Tacoma in the Predators world is kind of like a nexus tribe, bigger than most, as it connects the sapient regions of Denali, Tacoma, Orizaba(Mexico), and Maunakea(Hawai'i).

Having fun with this so far, but might take a few work days to wrap up--I'd like to shoot for an animated-movie-style imagery here, but we'll see what my hands decide!

Predators of Tacoma [WIP]

Comments

love the mountain looks good, would look out the window real quick to compare it to the real thing, but it dark as heck right now

Lavamoon

that is a hansom deer

Not Telling

Stop the presses, moar bird girls! <3

Diamondstorm

They definitely are, one of the benefits of living in one of the cities here is seeing one of the mountains (or several depending where you live) in the skyline just driving around. Any chance of getting some tribal coyotes? :3

ProfCoyote

Fluff don’t get me started, I’m of Unkechaugi and Cherokee descent so I could go on about the amount of indigenous names that need to be restored throughout the nation, your excellent comic or not. It’s why I’m glad Denali got its name back irl

pokediginut

Love that painted background. Gives me Bob Ross vibes.

Chaz

sweet! i know when i ship orders to Tacoma/Fairbanks i'm like in my head 'darn, if i were there i could visit these mountains' haha

FluffKevlar

i would too!

FluffKevlar

as a kid, i'd get mad when the biggest city wasn't the capitol of a state/country, haha. I only found out Canberra was the capitol of Australia and not Sydney, like..2 years ago

FluffKevlar

yeah Denali will wrap up, this is just a standalone piece, but i would like to keep pieces on the Predators world on-and-off even after starting my scifi!

FluffKevlar

it's really hard to pick a place for future predators, but it'll be a while, lol. i still love Rehzi! he wont go anywhere

FluffKevlar

aw, thank you! i try!!

FluffKevlar

but i have to draw antlers D:

FluffKevlar

thanks! me too kinda!

FluffKevlar

Nice! :D I've always wanted to go! Some of the other mountains look cool as well! Hood, Thielsen, Adams, St Helens..

FluffKevlar

Yeah, typically do. I'm going for a bit of stylization for aesthetics though!

FluffKevlar

Yes, Tahoma or Tacoma. My reasoning is first, it sounds more tribal, second, the humans that some of these mountains are named after dont exist in this world so it'd be a bit weird, lol

FluffKevlar

this is a lore piece fleshing out the world of Predators of Denali, not another comic...

The Friendly Deathclaw

Wooo!

Blackjack

Hell yeah, that's my city!

biomechanic

Nope, just rain. All day long.

biomechanic

Now I gotta ask, is the mountain out today? This is a wonderful looking piece and I can’t wait to see it completed.

Chiba Cheegoni

Yes! Sell us more! Glorious!

Daki Suggester

This background sure looks amazing. These vast strechtes of mostly untouched forrest combined with the mountains are one of the reasons I want to visit the state of Washington one day. Also these rabbit folk sure look like they would make for some nice size difference pairings.

Holo Wolf

Its amazing how many people think largest city = capital. New York City isn’t the capital of New York, Albany is. And Detroit isn’t the capital of Michigan, it’s Lansing. I’ve known people who live in Michigan who get that wrong…

idfailure

Are you planning on working on this and Predators of Denali at once or will you try to finish POD before starting this comic?

Masterblaster84

Holy shit, we getting a Predators trilogy and me here waiting to see more of Rhezi

NamelessOne

Your art is so good be it clean or NSFW it's just great, your by far my favorite patreon over the years and well worth the sub fee too

Patrick Bradley

I now want to know more about these tribes. It all looks so good!

Karas

Quick guys buy more- just kidding, cant wait to see it!

Caspian Yuichiro

Very nice, can't wait to see it finished.

Skyler_darkwolf

Looks awesome, can't wait for more!

Antoine Davis

I wanna see more of this elk tribe!

minoan

ahh the Snowshoe hare gal is adorable!! and the elk boi is such a hunk!! now I wanna see the regions of Maunakea and Orizaba sometime..

The Friendly Deathclaw

Being a resident of the PNW (Oregon here) you get a big thumbs up! :D

ProfCoyote

Ooh! Rabbit and Eagle gals are pretty! And Elk boy is... beeg. 0///0 Lookin great, Fluff! Can't wait to see the finished product!

Roughlandin

Love the setting! This is a very interesting design you chose for the eagle lady. Don’t eagles irl have a longer beak which is curved at the end? I’m just wondering.

Synariel

Tahoma is the indigenous name for the mountain?

pokediginut

Lookin good so far 👍
