Description Messing around with the idea of a monkey snail [link] , I stumbled upon something so amazingly wonderful I can't believe it's not a dream. The loris! It's a strepsirrhine primate that has an adorable factor of about a million! The only drawback is that they don't have tails. But who needs a tail with a face like that!

Thus, the lorisnail was born.

The box in the top right is the most recent sketch and introduces Beetle Bird, Lorisnail's companion. I'm still working out their story, but it's going to be a children's book if I have anything to say about it.

Will move to scraps later.

Firstly, thank you for introducing me to the Loris~! Secondly, putting it together with that of a snail is ingenious! I am overloaded with cuteness and am captivated by his orb-like eyes.

Can it retract into its shell?

Yes, it can. If you look at this piece: [link] you can see in pose #9 it is almost completely retracted.

Thanks for asking!

Thank you! Yeah, the center image was a full page sketch that I spent at least a week on that I had been planning on coloring. I'm glad you noticed.

That's the great thing about creating something new it adds mystery and intrigue =] It's not every day you see someone make something unique and different.
