Oh wow, it looks like the top of the skull can bend back and make the eyes pop out. XD

Oh yeah their eyes are always popping out XD

So with a skelitol structure like that,does it make a synx fragile or is it very durable?

Yes and yes. Its hard to answer this specific question... synxes are different. Not necessarily more fragile or more durable, just different. Their heads can obviously withstand more stress and squishing then our heads, but it is also easier to break or bruise things to, sure. Shoving a knife into one would be so much easier then a person, but then again they don't have their brain in there so the damage isn't equivalent. Again, just different =x

Ah ok,I get it now,thanks. ^^

Cute!

:O That is unique and quite interesting. <3

I lurves the synx XD

wow! awesome D:< i look forward to more :3

I would love to see an anatomy reference of a synx. D:

Fascinating!

wait, so where <i>does</i> the brain lie if not in their heads?

Their ribcage... I mean skull.

oh <___>
also, it just occured to me, a synx snuggie would be kinda boss.

It wouldn't be hard to make one out of their skin, since that is also removable :P

Oh gosh. Long optic nerve is long

that's what I was thinking. Yay, I love it when artists pay attention to the anatomy and physiology of their creatures o3o

I was gunna ask that too, pretty spiff.

This is different, Ima try it out.

So, no hugging the parasite until its bones go CRACK? Awwww. ^'===='^

the more you elaborate about these guys the more I love them

i imagine them now as a large stretch armstrong

Well they can't really stretch ...but they can bend almost as well!

so gumby instead

either way sounds like gooey insides

Very cool. I love your detailed explanation.

Oh my, whats my obese synxes bones will happen?

oh man <333 I really want to see all of the anatomy sheet now

I've alway wondered, how fast do they heal from wounds and injuires, do they have advance regeneration or simple slow healing?

Very slow normally. It's hard for them to heal when they are outside of a body, also they are prone to infection and sometimes even death from regular injuries =x

cool, by the way do you mind if people make there own verisons of the synx? cause I have one in the works and I just want to know if thats okay before I start posting it on DA and making drawings of it

Sure, go right ahead =D

awesome, hey whats your commisson prices?

No one can make me cringe in both repulsive curiosity and fascination like you do. This sheet really gave me some goosemumps. Agh!
Getting bitten by a hungry Synx must feel like getting said body part in a meat grinder? All those teeth and sharp edges, huff. It's almost as I can feel it all penetrate my skin, which may resemble getting smacked with a bunch of cactuses in the beginning? (A cousin of me once threw a big cactus on my shoulder with an incredibly force, hurt like hell.)

I'm sure there have been some funny situations where the eyes have popped out during a struggle. Maybe not fun for the one being attacked, but fun for those who watches from a long distance. I know I would have laughed. For a while. Maybe.. :p

Are you planning to do an anatomy sheet of the Snooge in the future? I have often wondered how her cranium looks like, and the size of her brain. And hips, she must have huge man hips.

But if a prey struggle the teeth may sink a bit into the skin/flesh? Not so much mauling, more like a powerful hand with long, sharp nails?
Can a Synx swallow an adult human? If a Synx is down to the waistline of a human, and the human's arms are pinned to the sides, then the only thing he can do is struggle. Beating and punching is futile, and grabbing something is hard. It's not a nice way to go, so I can imagine the struggle would be quite epic. But everyone gets tired in the end. I once saw a clip of a hawk sitting on a magpie, the magpie was a bit bigger than the hawk and it struggled like hell. The struggle lasted for 40 minutes, the only thing the hawk did was wait. In the end the magpie was so exhaused that it could only weakly raise it's head when the hawk started to nap out it's feathers to get to the tasty bits.

Have it happened that a Synx have tried to swallow a big and strong prey, and when coming down to the waistline the prey have managed to get to it's feet and start to run? A Synx eating something large must be like pulling a fuzzy sock over a large object. :p
I don't think I've ever get used to the weird anatomy of a Synx. Shaking hands with one would be weird if it used it's mouth. And a good thing they don't have their brains in their 'skulls', since I think many have gotten some powerful blows on top of their heads during a struggle.

A last question about the Snooge: If she encounters two or three persons who's out looking for booty, will she let them have their way with her, flash her eye, and just grab one? Or does she only show her predatory side when being alone with someone? A more expansive sheet of her would be awesome. Her heart must be in a whole different place than I think. ;)

Not so much mauling, more like a powerful hand with long, sharp nails?
Absolutely correct =)

Can a Synx swallow an adult human?
Yes, and no... A synx obviously has to eat it's food whole since they cannot chew or tear with their jaws, but it's just a matter of getting things into swallowble size, which doesn't necessarily mean the whole prey at once. A weeper would be able to eat a adult person whole, but the question is would they. Common procedure for any Synx (weeper or not) eating an adult is to eat the limbs first, since the rest of the body can survive that loss. Then swallow up the torso when the stomach is empty again, as demonstrated here. It's easier that way and more comfortable, but it doesn't mean that's how it always goes down. Like a big dumb lizard a Synx doesn't mind if it's meal is still alive and being disagreeable long after it's ingestion, but these meals consist of animals, children, and the children of animals, so a hungry and short sighted weeper might just try and gulp down an able bodied adult without any preparation beforehand, not realizing the difference. Something as big as an adult takes more time to ingest, more strength to subdue and is actually uncomfortable to swallow and stomach all at once, even for a weeper. Like a frog Synxs can, and sometimes do die of ruptured stomachs.

If a Synx is down to the waistline of a human, and the human's arms are pinned to the sides, then the only thing he can do is struggle. Beating and punching is futile, and grabbing something is hard. It's not a nice way to go, so I can imagine the struggle would be quite epic.

Actually it's not futile to struggle. Sometimes even a frog will get away even if halfway in a snake or another frog; it never hurts to try XD If a Synx is gluttonous and impatient (stupid)enough to try and eat you whole and your arms are pinned, try and kick it. It won't like that. =D And if the positions are too awkward to put up a decent fight on the outside, don't. The worst possible outcome for someone in that scenario is expending all their energy before they slide into the Synx's stomach; it basically guarantees their future as excrement. If a Synx has already started eating you up... let it. It made the mistake of not disabling you first or making sure you were weak, so your going to be in it's stomach perfectly able to give it a good beating: from the inside! Hence the exact course of what happened in this series of pictures. Even a weeper wouldn't be able to stomach something the size of an adult using it's guts as a punching bag. It may try to collapse it's abdomen or twist up in a spiral to squish and subdue you, but just keep at it and hope it's smart enough to hurl you out before you suffocate.

Have it happened that a Synx have tried to swallow a big and strong prey, and when coming down to the waistline the prey have managed to get to it's feet and start to run?

It doesn't even have to be strong prey, as long as it's big enough that their feet are still touching the ground while they are being eaten, they can try and flee, or at least walk backwards. It then essentially becomes a tug of war, but I wouldn't recommend that since thats guaranteed to tire you out before being ingested.

A last question about the Snooge: If she encounters two or three persons who's out looking for booty, will she let them have their way with her, flash her eye, and just grab one? Or does she only show her predatory side when being alone with someone?
Way to dangerous, most likely she'll just allow them to have their way. She wouldn't feel safe enough to start eating; she's a shy eater...

I love it, as expected I am craving what information I can garner about the species. I also have a soft spot for creatures that are quite simply not normal, the sort of thing that is really alien, bonus points if like the Synx they appear "normal"(E.G like a humanoid), but could not be more different in every other way.

I really need to work on my spider wolf thing.... Its the only thing I have even close to comprable, keep the Synx data flowing yes please.

but could not be more different in every other way.

Just wait till you see lower in their body!

I'm enthralled with this internal structure...Like every other muthafucka commented, I am deeply interested in seeing more details...The way you mix hardcore anatomy and biology with raw gore and visceral images has always intrigued me, and I hope you never stop...Still waiting for a commission slot to open up >_>

I have been meaning to ask, is the Synx your sona or your breed?? And is it possible to make one of our own?? I've wanted to ask forever now and I keep forgetting lol

I kind of use it as an avatar, but I think persona is a bit too personal a description. Yes though, it is a species I created =) Sure, you can make one!

:D Any rules for making one?? Like no nos on markings or piercings?? And how do I link back to your page?? XD
I'm new... is it obvious?? XD

Well, the best way to get an idea for markings is to look what I and others have done with their Synxes. It's really mostly eyeflesh that changes on each one. Horn shape changes as well. The eyes and horns can both be any color in the rainbow. XD But yeah, I don't think one would have piercings or anything like that. These are not people who happen to be animals; Synxes are better described as animals with comparable intelligence to people. So in other words, still animals.


To link back to my page simply type this:

{iconChimeraSynx}

But replace the }'s with : on each side

Okay I gotcha :D
I'm gonna get started asap!!! :D Thank you for your help!!

If you have anymore questions feel free to note me =)

I've always been curious to see if someone could create a creature that doesn't follow the usual head-to-tail organ distribution as the majority of creatures. It seems with enough logical cornerstones,... I forget where I was going with this.

awesome

OH MY GOD SOME GIMPS KEEP ASKING THE SAME FUCKING QUESTIONS OVER AND OVER AGAIN

I'd go mad if I was such a ~*~pOpUfUr~*~.

lol I don't consider you one though srsly.

Also the permanent fake goofy smile is so cute ;w;

Finally I understand why the eyes pop out. I thought it had something with the muscle behind the eye being stretched when the jaw unhinged. This is Fantastic!

I never cease to be in awe of the crazy anatomy you have invented for your monsters.

wow so thats wt thers skulls look like cool

The more I learn about the Synx, the more it scares the SHIT out of me.

But I can't help wanting to learn more!

Damn, you make them more and more interesting. I really want to learn more!

if a synx is shot or stabbed does it get inured or is it like poking holes in a marshmallow? can it be killed?

These things can be one of the easiest monsters to kill, thats why they are so sneaky and cowardly. That is also why the fellow in this story: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2547214 didn't get ate. He was too fit and able to be taken in a straight forward assault, so the Synx retreated. That is not the actions of an invincible animal.
Synxes are pressure (squish) resistant; they can withstand pressures and weight we cannot (an yes there is a limit to even this). A Synx can probably be pinned under a flipped car and come out ok, but shoot, stab or burn one with fire and it is hurt just like a person would be.

This has been bugging me for a while now. How exactly do you pronounce the name "synx"?
I've always assumed it as "sinks" but something tells me it's said differently.

That's the way my brain says it too. :3

I would be lying if I said that Synxes have not enhanced my life in some way. Snooge too. :>

The more cool facts I learn about your critters, the more I adore them.

So, if their 'bones' are more like cartilage, does this mean their teeth would be more of a material like whale teeth?

Alright so lacerations and burns can kill them but what about impacts, baseball bat, frying pan, sports car etc. would it do serious damage or would it just hurt?

this meme was just a ruse in order to get you to reveal more about the synxes

Now I just wanna see the rest of what's under there.

Man, these things are just terrifying...I love em!

Man, that is a complex system of bones, or is it all that rubbery stuff that you say synx's bones turn into? The way that it is built is quite creepy, and quite unseen. What could you think up next?

so is snooge a more dangerous monster to encounter? Whats the most evil , nasty creature you've invented?

I would hardly call the snooge dangerous, considering its foolishness that gets people eaten. She isn't a menacing monster that hunts people down or anything, and its very easy to be around her and not get eaten. A Synx on the other hand is never safe to be around, and they'll 'get you' any chance that opens. The Snooge is nasty in the sense she is disgusting, gross and smelly. A Synx is nasty in the sense it is weird, volatile and generally unpleasant to be around.

Neither one is evil.

The more I learn about these creatures the more freaked out I am about them. That fuckin anatomy, man...

But really, you are a seriously creative fellow, I'd never thought such a grotesque creature could actually make any sense.

I love you stuff man.

You creatures are so unique and I love how well thought out they are.

I've never said this until now. XD

....Just sayingit here,too.
DAMN these things creep me the fuck out. ._.
You have done your job well. Im gonna go have nightmares now.

It seems just when I think something cannot get any stranger, it promptly does.

And I'm not sure if that's neat or terrifying. Neatirrfying?

"not to be confused with a series of tubes"

now THAT would be something to fear D:

Squishy~

the second i read "what your tongue is made of" in the description..


i couldn't stop moving it -.-
