Giant Slugs part 1

I finally decided on the next story that will be the focus now that Resuce Party is coming to an end (there are a few more images in that sequence coming up). 

The first 2 images of this were already posted before, here I made some refinements and in the end I prefer this design. Here's also my attempt at starting some lore and world building (I'm not a gifted writer so bear with me here). 

Hunter: Lena, specialised in short range combat.  

Weapon of choice: Automatic shotgun, more effective against larger creatures, especially up close. Secondary weapons include 9mm and knife, just in case. 

Travels the wasteland in an armored rover. She likes being all nice and comfortable in between all the killing. It's also a great way to carry all your gear and the spoils during extended patrols.  

Monster: Giant Slug (Large)

Skills

Hunting strategy: The slug travels on a layer of slime, which remains adhesive for long periods of time. Periodically the slug doubles back, devouring anything dumb enough to get trapped in its slime trail. The slime's consistency changes from a viscous fluid to tough rubber as it dries over the course of days.  

The giant slug benefits from certain complex molecules it can't synthesize itself, such as adrenaline and oxytocin, allowing it to grow larger, stronger, faster and improves fertility. When a suitable source is found, it can opt for assimilation, rather than just eating and digesting. For that it has a secondary stomach that functions as a sort of battery farm where suitable victims can be kept alive for long periods of time. 

Weakness (besides getting shot, stabbed or blown up): Slugs are slow and simple creatures, and so have trouble with more agile predators and prey. As long as you keep your distance, you should be fine.

I hope you enjoy this start. I'm working on a few other things besides this, including one of the endings of Rescue Party. I will keep you updated.

Is Lena allowed a manservant on long hunting expeditions? I'd enjoy preparing meals for her and tending to her every need between each hunt.

Absolutely love this. Definitely hope we get to see some more... intense carnal horror with this beastie.

New member here. I really enjoy these adventures in a world full of strange creatures. Are there other bios or profiles on the other characters? I'm curious about the back story behind this strange world and the characters in it.

Oo that sounds interesting!! Iโ€™m all for it! ๐Ÿฅณ

Well, it would be a bit of a stretch, carrying a litter of large offspring . But Lena is a strong, healthy woman with the perfect anatomy for childbearing, so I believe she can take it. Plus, the baby slugs I imagine would be squishy enough to make the birth process a lot less painful... maybe even pleasurable

Hopefully we'll see a bit of pained discomfort from the copulation and birthing, since her getting impregnated/implanted with the slug's offspring isn't something her body was naturally made to do.

I've been looking forward to seeing this one continued - that bodysuit is awesome (and I can't wait to see it come apart).

James Gavin

The bodysuit may be my most favourite of all the outfits. But as much as I love it, it'll be even more interesting to see what happens when the acid spit comes into play. Even if it's rated as a light armor, I doubt it'll stand much chance against corrosive liqiuds... I'm quite interested in seeing the process of the suits destruction, actually, and what body parts it'll reveal first... ;-P

No, the hair is perfect! It accentuates her pretty, youthful face, and is both professional and practical for fieldwork. Although I imagine that when the action heats up, it'll inevitably slip out of it's knot. I also love the contrast between Lena's black hair/bodysuit and pale skin. Snow White, almost :-D

That's what they teach you on day one of hunting school. It's a one day course

zeroGravitas

Could be foreshadowing of what she'll be in the near future :p Or it could be that I just like the haircut/

zeroGravitas

Yeah I will be bothering you from time to time with that. Writing is not my thing but I do see the benefits of adding lore like this.

zeroGravitas

Combat rule number 1 (applies to every movie and comic): After you've fired an entire magazine into an enemy and you're not sure you've finished him off: never reload and just blast a second magazine into the motherfucker, no, you walk up to him so that the superior range of your (now unloaded) weapon doesn't give you any advantage and nudge the thing with your foot without at least smearing lube down your crack.

Scyrus

Ey, you got my discord if you ever need writing help

Valaska

Don't know about that hair. It has a very 'mom' look about it.

Phil

Just my head on ZG's artwork

Kimm-i

That's very good! It's a lot cleaner with the composition too.

Like this maybe :) https://we.tl/t-EnkKR6EzPI

Kimm-i

Thank you...

Kimm-i

I'll vouch for Kim to be the brunette rescuer's name too. I did notice that you do look a lot like her as well

Just a thought but could there be a Brunette called Kim x

Kimm-i

Thanks! They are based on real weapons yes. Although this time a took a few liberties, the girls in rescue party carried an MP7 and UMP45, which I tried to keep as close to the actual guns as possible

zeroGravitas

Good idea, I felt something was missing. I'll add more info

zeroGravitas

I don't think we've given you enough compliments for your terrain backgrounds. They're very simple, almost watercolor-like, but they convey the effect of flat, dry desert with mountains in the hazy distance quite nicely. You can almost feel the heat just looking at them (though that could also have something to do with the foreground subjects...)

Matt (not that one)

Hi, loving it so far (slug perils might just be my favourite, beating even spider and octopus/squid type stuff!) Just wondering, in terms of the character and monster info, would it be possible to to size (height, length) and weight type data as well? Feel it may help add to context, no pressure ofc

Alex S

You're gonna do some vore content that is awesome..... Also as a big time American gun nerd I like that all your weapons are recognizable as real

Sean McDonagh

Yeah... burrowing creatures. I already have a good idea what will happen to the huntress ;P

Marcin

Thank you for the archive link btw. Easier to download!

Harn Srisuwan

Great action shots! The new material in this sequence is already looking very cinematic; the overhead views of the shootout are great additions to the story. A few general observations: - Your future tech designs are cool and functional. The addition of the rover to that first image is a nice touch; it reminds me of the Mako vehicle from Mass Effect. (The little pop-up rangefinder on the shotgun is my favorite part, for some reason.) - I like that the creatures in all your works so far have at least had a hint of the same rusty red coloring to them. It gives the impression that they all evolved in the same environments. - Lena looks great so far, very disciplined and lethal. It's great that we're finally getting names for all of these women, too. - Speaking of the rest of the cast, I hope the other two members of that sequence get names as well. It'd be great if we could see a rotating cast of adventurers with names and backstories in these. (Even if you never explain how they get out of their previous predicaments. Sort of like how Kenny from South Park used to die every episode and be back for the next one.) Thanks again for your inspiring works!

Matt (not that one)

No info about the creature's reproductive system? or perhaps you don't want to spoil us yet? no matter what i can't wait for the next release. your artwork is amazing.

RandySavage

Great beginning! Looking forward to see where this is going! Great characters as always

Anders

Very nice worldbuilding and writing so far! I'd love to write a fanfic based on these creatures at some point.

damage3245

Think maybe you could include some oviposition this time?

Piotr Bohdziewicz

While a skin tight bodysuit might provide extra flexibility for Lena in combat, it sadly won't protect her fertile body from corrosive slime. It'll only make it easier for this slug monster to strip her bare. Btw, nice world building, your writing is easy to understand and paints a pretty good picture of what to expect from this monster.

Grave

Nice kill... though I'm sure she'll need to dedicate herself to replacing that slug many times over later..
