I would've torn up this aggie with my Gruzzles if I hadn't exhausted myself making them the actual week before

I'd love to post random memes I save and make sometimes but i feel like a majority of my audience would be confused why the funny drawing man is posting random stuff now.

The new Biome is nice, Its cool to see some love for the underground and cold, makes me curious if the desert may have similar treatment in the future

Very cool design Wrestler bear who may also be ghostly is honestly a fire combination and it makes me wanna challenge them. They are also a very "on my draw list" -able charater.

definitely would get up to some Hijinx in some way or another

Gruzzy has a heart with a light Comb theme on it, there was a point in their design where it was going to be a button instead, but that got changed to be separate as their shield! (though if I redesign them that button may be on their character once more.)

Max @maxtanuki.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
would be quite an interesting Idea :3

Finally got the set of Gruzzles I wanted to get out there, had been messing with ideas for awhile, and wanted to have some more eccentric ideas. (some info abt them in alt text) Along with that, I may make a design guideline for Gruzzles as I would like to see other people have their own Gruzzle OC.

that phase in OC designing where I get out of my seat and start pretending I'm them and doing cool swoosh actions at nothing in particular for 10 minutes before I go back to drawing them

I am also notifying this as my commission work often involves transferring files related to Minecraft. Please be careful, be observant for things that look odd, and question out of character and odd behavior from accounts, be it friend or stranger. Make sure your sources are safe and honest. 2/2

[Serious post, Heads up to my followers] Recently, two people I have spoken to in DMs have been hacked, so I would like to drop this message about one of the methods. Be careful of accounts acting suspicious in any manner. (some details about the hack in alt text) 1/2
A hack that involves a compromised account requesting you to join their server for an event, in this case involving their friend's birthday. They then upload a file containing a trojan which leads to the account becoming compromised and repeating the process to another person.

some photos of the model and its features, including a keystone toggle for the main bell, juggling, handstand and sitting anims. A ball compatible with most anims and with 3 skins. All finished off with a toggleable hat

Had heard that fat bear week was coming up and had a poster contest as well, so decided to throw my hat into the ring with another wallpaper post!

I have a mini vault of gruzzles right now but I'm deciding when the best time to present them would be

Fun fact: Ambrosia can control their resin/sap and use it in different ways. They are able to conjure some of it out of thin air but use their abilities to manipulate their body as well!

Ambrosia, a dinosaur who was resurrected by an ancient force and brought into a body using sap and fossils.

oop, referring to the ocarina of time reveal from awhile ago, I do have some Gruzzle stuff in the works tho

Max @maxtanuki.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
I'll be honest the initial reveal did no favors but this preview makes me feel better about the OOT remake

Pixel arts and Minecraft models are my usual specialty if you're curious for those

Max @maxtanuki.bsky.social · 07/09/2026
well, to give spoiler to an upcoming gruzzle design, this is what happens when I realize I dont have a limit to what is considered "too big to hug"
120
Max @maxtanuki.bsky.social · 07/09/2026
A friend mentioned how well I do when it comes to assigning heights for my characters, but honestly my metric half the time is what height I find optimal for hugs. Case in point Gruzzle fluff

There comes a time in life where every animator must learn to animate a juggle. (WIP of a comm for @experimic.bsky.social (18+ account) for a player model of their zorua)

Max @maxtanuki.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
aye fair enough, hoping to make them more publicly shown as an open species when I get some more notes on em out!

Max @maxtanuki.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
yup!

Max @maxtanuki.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
but of course there a surprising amount who are within the ranks of the Gruzzle family. Funny enough I had been working on a design for a plush Gruzzle while working on this ref, though that's still a work in progress while I mess with ideas

Max @maxtanuki.bsky.social · 01/09/2026
anything as long as it includes burger hat

Of course!

Heres an updated ref for one of my long time species: Gruzzles! Had been having them for awhile but wanted to make a new ref for them!
[A ref sheet of the Gruzzle species, a group of Bee bear hybrids]

They are just over the height of an average man standing, though a little lower when on all fours.

They can produce honey, most effectively doing so after eating fruit. With this honey, they can use Honeymancy for different abilities, such as healing, firing a blast, and other cases. 

When sleeping, Gruzzles rest inside a bubble to keep themselves protected.

Gruzzles are able to fly and on rare occasions are slowly seen hovering at the treetops of forests. 

Gruzzles are quite docile, only attacking when offensively provoked. Gruzzles themselves are also capable of fostering a small community when they stay in an area for awhile. 

Design wise, Gruzzles have a large paw with 4 prints, one center one and 3 for each finger. Their tail is a mix of a regular tail and abdomen, which is very fluffy, and has a stinger at the end. 
Gruzzles can have different fur patterns, referred to as "Pollen patterns" and splotches of spots where honey is visible known as "Honey spots".

Questions about Gruzzles are welcome!

Now the question is, should I make my snake OC have long neck, or short neck?

Max @maxtanuki.bsky.social · 24/08/2026
updating the design of my bee lizarbs a lil, and also wanting to make a snake OC, so have some old doodles along with that too

Max @maxtanuki.bsky.social · 24/08/2026
what if you give them many hairstyles

Max @maxtanuki.bsky.social · 24/08/2026
thinking of making a background again, so any OCs of mine that you guys would want one to be themed after?
230
Max @maxtanuki.bsky.social · 23/08/2026
Expanding on character some, for now they're named Thundaga for now and they carry to sticks they use as weapons (more to come with that if I make them a ref)

Have been wanting to adjust the Ranuki's design to be a little more stout, chubby and simple in design, but I still dont feel like what I have right now is the image I had in mind. Friends I showed it to liked it tho so thought id show it here.
