Thanks! It’s a fine balance and overdoing it results garbled mess or entirely corrupted file. Every file format acts differently so there’s lot of trial and error.

Thank you! It’s fun to draw all sorts of lines of action with tails. Mainly just the head, tail shape and streamline body are remnants of the aquatic ancestors. After I posted this, I came up with more detailed explanation of the evolutionary lineage https://pastebin.com/3v1RSEh2

I just liked the idea of starting as a semi-aquatic to explain some of the reptilian features, and later found out it is speculated that semi-aquatic otter or shrew like creatures could have survived K-Pg extinction event (the big asteroid impact). That’s where I decided that this species would have branched off 100-70 million years ago.

Thank you ^^

Earliest concept art dates to 2017 when I first had idea creating a species that is mix of canines and reptiles:

Edit: I made the original art 2021: https://www.deviantart.com/caecuss/art/Tiena-Feral-876502282 I mostly wanted to share the species description that I just came up with. The art is visual aid but there will likely be some changes.

Few people have asked what my sona Tiena species is. I’ve said it’s a furred dragon because he shares some similarities with them but I finally decided to make basically a wiki page of feral version of my sona. I came into conclusion that my sona doesn’t share any similarities with wingless dragons in mythology. Biggest inspirations have been Komodo dragons and Maned wolves, hence the name Maned Dragon even though it is a misnomer.

I have absolutely no background in taxonomy, biology or scientific classification. I just spend several hours of googling animal facts and learned with the help of chat gpt, but all of the text above is hand written. But it may need an other rewrite to make it more readable. This species is open for anyone and you are free to make variants. But I will differentiate canon and non-canon features. There will be guide-lines about allotropes, e.g. coloration can be almost anything if the environment is exotic enough.

this took me a while but after converting to ascii in hex I get it

“())(” = 40 41 41 40

“()()” = 40 41 40 41

As long your strings aren’t null terminated

I later figured that pkill -9 -f "\.exe" works if wineserver -k doesn’t. And that killing wineserver by calling killall wineserver is bad

Interesting! I also noticed that search engines give proper results because those are trained differently and using user search and clicks. I think these popular models could give proper answer but their safety tolerance is too tight that if the AI considers the input even slightly harmful it refuses to answer.

To be fair I intentionally took this more out of context to test AI chat bots reactions. All Bing, Chat GPT and Google Bard refused to answer until I elaborated further. I was looking into killing .exe programs when wineserver crashes and got side tracked to this. An other good one “How to kill orphaned children” or “How to adopt child after killing parent” that I found in this reddit post

Anthropomorphic means something with human traits. So feral can be anthro if their behavior is human like. I do not tolerate Zoophilia and nobody with such interest is welcome to furry fandom.

My fursona Tiena is primarily physically humanoid https://www.deviantart.com/caecuss/art/TienaRef30Mar21-Shaded-874812976 I still enjoy drawing ferals every now and then. I found the furry fandom via few feral artists like CakeInDaFridge back in 2016 and I love Kenket’s art.

I once tried to recreate my sona in spore with mixed results haha https://i.imgur.com/tSaLghW.png
