More from Lunaris Parukia
74, always bowing before challenging a warrior to a friendly battle =3
Name: 74 ("nanashi"), but actually nameless. Transcends such conventions.
Gender/Sex: N/A & N/A, transcends such conventions.
Age: N/A, transcends such conventions
Species: Formless, strictly unknown, transcends such conventions
Habitat: Unknown. At least a different existential tier extremely far away removed from reality.
Alignment: Neutral
Personality: Appears gentle
Orientation: Unknown, possibly N/A
Likes: Fighting worthy heroes
Dislikes: Unknown
Aqua Sapiens Metamorphosis
Unknown Family
Even among the documented Formless, few are as mysterious as the 74.
Much like other Formless, the 74's natural habitat is in a different tier of existence, however, it so far away removed from reality, its existence can hardly be considered canon.
This seems to reflect upon its perceived appearance. As Formless live on planes that do not necessarily follow the conventions of our world, they truly lack any discernible traits such as identity and physical form. In order to mitigate this, the observer can essentially create an image, a temporary physical form as it were, in order to likely aid in communication.
Whereas observers often can perceive a semblance of a physical form this way for Formless, like the form of a grim reaper for death, 74 is far enough removed from our reality that even its perceived form cannot truly be grasped, instead often appearing for the observer as an amorphous blob of what appears to be water, which can freely shift itself into different form.
It is within this shape-shifting ability were its true power lies. Of the experiments held, the 74 was able to perfectly copy the physique and powers of any and all entities presented. It was able to mimic not only animals, but us researchers as well.
In fact, it even seemed to be able to replicate entities conjured from imagination.
In further experiments, we even witnessed the ability of the perfect replication of any given environment.
It was then that it revealed that it could multiply itself seemingly infinitely, and each of the duplicates could mimic different entities and locations.
With its ability of perfect mimicry, it has led some of us to theorize that the universe itself is possibly a form of 74.
Fortunately, despite its seemingly endless power, the creature appears to have a gentle disposition. It has shown to enjoy using its shape-shifting abilities to assume the forms of different entities and locations in order to challenge skilled warriors, but these are nothing more than friendly showdowns, choosing to restrain its immense power and refusing to exert lethal force. If it were to land the finishing blow, the creature would simply relent and deem the battle as a victory. The battle is deemed a "loss" when the creature is satisfied with the effort of its opponent. It also seems to bow down in respect before and after every battle.
Unfortunately, this gentleman-like behavior makes it hard to gauge exactly how powerful the 74 is. Some of us researchers theorize that the creature's power is, in fact, limitless. As a Formless, it is not limited by the conventions of the entities it copies, thus possibly making the 74 infinitely superior to the original. However, if this were to be the case, the 74 chooses to mimic the limitations of the entities it's copying as to provide a fair chance for its opponents.
As the creature likely resides in a higher existential plane than death, the 74 is likely truly immortal.
Due to 74 sightings being extremely rare, it is hard to research this unique creature.

I originally just started drawing Pokémorphs because I wanted to excel in it, and by focussing on just one subject, I could grow faster than when I would have focusssed on other things. But maybe things don't really work that way...
I've heard of a somewhat funny anecdote that some landscape artists, despite being extraordinarily skilled in painting landscapes... can't draw people.
I guess that applies to me too, except with Pokémorphs ^w^;
Lately I've been revisiting the basics. Ultimately everything is just composed of circles, retangles and triangles anyway, so I guess everything has the same origin.
It's kind of funny when you've always made something look good, then come to realize it's not anatomically correct. And now I'm just lamenting that I was too fricking stubborn to learn the rules of art for all of these years... Even if I'm planning to break the rules, well... It takes knowing the rules in order to break them in the first place. Thinking that being told how to do art meant that you always had to do as you're told was the critical flaw in my thinking process... First, learn the basics. After you're able to do that, go crazy.
The reason art teachers "hate" anime art is because it doesn't really give a good example of how anatomy works. That's why they're always making you draw realistic figures, so you'll get to know proper anatomy. And once you know your anatomy, you can use that knowledge in your anime art to make it really shine. Or at least, that SHOULD be the reason why actual good art teachers have an aversion to anime art. Bad art teachers would just hate on it because they dislike it, but that's not the mentality one should have when teaching someone something.
And yet, I am conflicted on that thought process still... It would imply there's only one way to truly do art, but that's a notion I completely disagree with. Art is still a subjective thing, and whether it's seen as liked or disliked completely depends on the opinion of the observer, and as we all know, opinions aren't facts. After all, who am I to decide what art is and what isn't?
Unless, of course, you're trying to make money from your art. In that case, then what you want is irrelevant, since you'd always be at the mercy of your client's desire. You'd have an universal standard to meet, especially if you're trying to make a living from it. That may as well be the most unfortunate aspect in the world of art.
As for me, I want to be able to meet and exceed a standard quality. Not because other people want me to, or because I want to make it my career or something... No, I want to be able to do it purely for the sake of being able to do it.
I don't even know why I'm telling you all this, and I hope I'm not boring or annoying you with it ^w^; Guess I just wanted to share where I currently am on things. After that whole Art13 fiasco, I came to realize that my time is limited, whether it's because of the law actually coming through in the next 2 years, or because of my own mortality. It made me go out of my comfort zone, granting me a new perspective on things, and realized my thought processes were flawed. Basically, I feel like a new person =3
