I always wondered if they had trouble walking, being that flexible. I could imagine clumsily hitting a foot on a stair and then just crumpling into a weird shape.

Also, very happy to see you arting again. I missed your work.

LOL
I just got a visual of that
and it was adorable.

Only the athletes can actually simulate human-like walking. The rest just move their legs as if they're walking while in an up-right stance as their body rests on the tail; which is is what's actually propelling them forward (slithering). They try not to make the latter obvious though, they're very shy.

Athletes... I'd imagine a running Synx would look a lot like QWOP http://i.imgur.com/jVyOB.gif

-Shy- Synx? Oh my!

LOVE how flexible these things are =D almost want one myself hahaha XD

"Dont mind me~ Just roooolling in a ball!"

Their flexibility

What is it that inspires you to make stuff like this? I'm still trying to find my little niche but I keep making rule 34 stuff and not so much abstract species stuff.

This somehow reminds me of Codex Seraphinianus. In the best way possible.

Synx is very lucky a rottweiler isn't there.....or he'd be squirming throw the powerfully efficient enzyme rich river of rottie belly instead of a lil crevice like that.

Great work! Happy to see ya back.

Awesome <3

Welcome back, you and your art have been greatly missed. Cannot wait to see more from you.

That bottom series really is an impressive looking feat.

Flexible and Freaky.
Well Done

The lower row reminds me of cats and small boxes. I wonder if synxes would enjoy boxes?

Tumble-dee, tumble do o/ ... Oh hey, a hole!

Whatever is going on up top there looks crazy.

Though now I'm wondering about Synx horns for tight spaces, are they flexible and bendy or stiff and used for goring? lol

They are like big fingernails and not very sturdy at all. They are there just to help balance and add a bit of weight to a head that is otherwise flimsy and made to fall apart. They can move a bit and even be pulled off/broken as easily a a big nasty fingernail, but doing so removes the synx's ability to properly navigate it's head, for the most part anyway. They have to do this also when they parasitically burrow into something, as the horns might cause far too much damage and inadvertently kill whatever it is they're invading.

Ahhh icky horns! At least humans don't have to worry about getting one of those burrowing into them so you're safe by being small. :P

Holy crap, you're alive!

You're back?

I wish I could be your frand. ;-;

I most like the third image with the upside down head; I first thought it was a second head.

Glad to see you're still around. :} Been patiently waiting for your amazing art. Life gets busy sometimes, glad to see you haven't been swallowed whole.

IT LIVES!

Really cool bit of biology/anatomy work, neat monster.

I think something like this would work really well in a spaceship setting, you can imagine a large vessel with lots of small spaces and crevices between the internal living area and the hull, getting a space bourne predator like this in your ship that can squeeze around the internals at will would be absolutely terrifying.

And it is. Synx however are considered "space vermin". Not quite as grandiose as Xenomorphs I'm afraid. More like Rats on a boat just causing trouble, and by trouble I mean if you're stupid they eat you.

If you were on a huge ship and you knew there were synxes about, likely you and everyone else would just try to ignore them. It would be highly recommended that everyone check every nook and cranny of their living quarters before bed, and seal all the places something could sneak inside, but otherwise you would be fine... assuming you aren't disabled, or a child. It's basically like living in Australia with your home close to the wilderness. I mean, have you seen the shit that hovers around homes there? XD You just have to know how to handle it right and you should be fine... unless one is a weeper, or you're a child, or your disabled, etc.

It's basically like living in Australia with your home close to the wilderness.


Well I'd take synxes over rattlesnakes and black widows any day :)

I have so many black widows outside my front door it's not even funny. If I walk outside at night to throw something away you can even feel them get crunched under your shoes... and god help you if you aren't wearing any!

Ffff-
I don't seem to see them until they're very large and 2 inches from wherever my hand was just a second ago. Had one jump out of a bicycle wheel I was replacing the tube in once.
God I hate those things... make me scream like a little girl every time.

So you're saying they're really not very dangerous at all?

How do we know you're not working for them? XD

You are? Cool.

Thats pretty cute

It's very easy to picture them writhing around and shimmying down at just the right angle :) Words can't express the glee I feel in seeing you upload again <3 Hope you're doing well.

INSANE AND CREEPY AND COMPLETELY AWESOME.

I kind of want to get a big push broom to roll one around on the ground for a while.

Effective in getting into those hard to reach places where the most delicious of victims do rest.

8D We missed that smile

Ah yes, our favorite eel with arms and legs. We missed you so.

Wow I didn't expect anything to be uploaded so soon after getting back. I don't usually comment on things because I don't have anything unique to say, but, I'm glad to see the new art. The faces and contortions are so adorable and you draw them so well.

A spring, a spring a wonderful thing.
Everyone loves a slinky.

Delightfully wiggly!

Your stuff is always interesting. And glad to see you back.

Welcome back you awesome beasty!

I keep coming back to this image from time to time. It is just absolutely lovely.

Question: Are there any special tactics they use to gain access to their prey's homes? Or are they dextrous enough to simply open a carelessly unlocked door or window?

They prey on people's stupidity more then people themselves. I live in an area where most people don't even shut their windows when they leave their homes... so I know how dumb people can be. There are a lot of ways to get into a home when you think about it. An unlocked sliding door, a cracked window, an open garage while someone is working on a car:oblivious to whats going on. A synx will often not even attack right away. They like to scurry inside and hide until the time is right, like a big spider on your wall waiting till you fall asleep.

Having just closed the back door of our house because someone left it open, then read your previous paragraph, I probably won't sleep tonight.

GEE THANKS SYNX

If the cat goes missing, do not be the one to go look for it. This is what horror movies have taught me. ;)

But you're probably fine, I mean...OHGODIT'SINTHEAIRDUCTS!

XC AND I LIVE RIGHT NEXT TO THE FREAKIN' HEATER OH GOD I'M DOOOOOOMED

That is some cool very slithery stuuf. Freaky and exotic~

I...... I have an urge to animate a walking(/MELTING??) Synx.

Question: are they like cats in that they could be more closely categorized as a liquid than a solid? Cus that's what this reminds me of: one big, creepy-as-fuck cat with the eyes of a snake.

Hey! Welcome back!

Looks like there's a bit of a synx leak happening up above. Darn low-budget contractors...

YOUR ALIVE!!!!!!!!!
good to see your artwork again

also its good to see your doing well

He looks like he's having fun being silly.

Oh! I missed this upload :D
I love seeing stuff like this. Makes we want to see it animated~ Synx movement is so nice to look at 8)

I am... strangely aroused... I mean horrified.
