You lying so low in the weedsI bet you gonna ambush meYou'd have me down, down, down, down on my knees!Now won't ya, barracuda? 

they are coming to maul you!

a few of the ladies of Jude's punk rock all-carnivore band, Maul Madness. There are five members total (Jude, Savannah, Raduga, Isla, and Katie). Tossing out some quick concepts for their costumes and general vibe

Jude is the founder of the band. She sings lead vocals, plays the electric guitar, keeps the girls motivated and the crowds amped, looks for gigs, and ultimately keeps everything afloat. Forming a rock band has been Jude's dream since she was a pup, so she's pretty pumped that Maul Madness is as successful as it is. The band isn't rolling in cash, but they're becoming more and more prominent on the indie scene, which is more than Jude could've ever hoped for back when she was stapling "Bandmates Wanted" posters to the wall outside Critter City performing arts center. Rock & roll is Jude's first and truest love, and her enthusiasm is infectious. She's truly at her most dog-like when it comes to the band, coaching and encouraging the girls with vigor (and a wagging tail), and occasionally unable to resist a booming howl when she sings. Although her bandmates were initially pretty unsure about the band (as well as their own unrefined musical talents), they've all come to respect Jude as their pack leader. Their bimonthly jam sessions are now as passionate as they are LOUD.

Jude's day job is that of a mechanic/general handywoman. She sometimes trades big repair jobs to locations in exchange for hosting the band. Maul Madness' sound is a blend of punk, hard rock, and heavy metal. I imagine Jude's singing voice sounds a lot like this. 

Savannah (stage name Savannah Savage) is Jude's second-in-command. Perpetually tired and surly (yet nonetheless loyal and invested in the band), Savannah channels her frustrations with carnivore life into the band's lyrics. Savannah's songwriting style is pretty aggressive, loaded with violence, sex, and an overall embrace of carnivore savagery. Jude and Savannah actually butt heads over this on occasion, with Jude wanting to tone things down as to not scare off herbivore listeners, and Savannah arguing that they owe it to all the frustrated, put-upon carnivores of the world to finally give them a space to be authentic and animalistic.  Indeed, the band walks a delicate tightrope between being palatable vs being honest, and the girls often vote on whether certain lyrics cross the line. Fortunately, Savannah is constantly, pleasantly surprised by the creative freedom she is allocated. Despite her grumpiness, she'd kill for each and every one of the girls.

Savannah of course works as a nurse. Besides writing songs, she plays bass for the band and provides backup vocals. 

Ra-Ra-Raduga! Is now in Fuzzbutts. >:D Her personality is as unchanged as her thick Russian accent. Eccentric, opinionated, and with a strong sense of justice, Raduga has proved a perfect fit for the band. She quite likes spooking people, and her silly, disarming antics conceal a very perceptive mind. Got a crush on someone? Raduga knows before you do. Raduga knows you cheated on your diet. Raduga knows you're angry at your mother, and she knows why. Raduga sees all, knows all. Fortunately, she can be bribed into silence (or persuaded to share a bit of gossip) for a tasty bit of (lab-grown) bone marrow.

Raduga plays the keyboard, designs costumes, and handles special effects for performances. She's quite fond of pyrotechnics. Outside of the band, Raduga happily works as a costume designer/seamstress at Rainbow Road Theatre, under Zee.

I just refreshed my patreon page thinking "its the middle of the night, there's no way there's gonna be new lop content" and what do you know! there was!! Thank you for making my night lol

I'm on my holiday break, so I'm up late drawing a lot. :)

RADUGA! My favorite bone crunching Russian birb! I imagine her diet to be the hardest to manage. Anyhow, I find it interesting that Jude is the relative level headed leader to Savannah's aggression, very interesting dynamic.

MY BELOVEDS!!!!!

Yeah Jude is moving away a bit from being a straight Phoenix expy. She's more calm and considerate, with much of her meanness being accidental, or the byproduct of frustration. She's not a bully anymore, is what I'm saying. Raduga gets by largely on fish bones, but the law says that animals with certain specific dietary requirements are granted permission to consume (tightly regulated) "donations". Eg. Sanguinovores like vampire bats require blood to live, so they have special ID cards that clear them to purchase donated animal blood. As Raduga's species are evolved to eat bone, she is clear to purchase bones from (you guessed it!) donated cadavers. :> Although labs can replicate bone tissue, it's more complex than generating meat, and thus way more expensive. Although there are systems to make purchasing organic materials discreet, many animals are fully aware of what creatures like Raduga eat and find it absolutely ghoulish. As scavenger species, Virgil and Savannah are also cleared to eat bone, as well as other donated products like antlers. Basic social etiquette dictate that any and all consumption of once-living matter, be it organic, synthetic, or lab-grown, be eaten in privacy, away from herbivore eyes. Raduga doesn't care, she often keeps snacking bones stashed in her purse.

I'd love to hear more about Raduga and Zee's dynamic. Since Zee and Tori lack the history of childhood friendship unlike the Pverse, I'd love to see Rad and Zee who are two confident and extroverted ladies try to coax her out of her shell!!

Bigsmile

...... Holy shit that's metal, Raduga is now my favorite

OMFG YEEESSSS Jude and Savanna looking fucking fabulous!! 😍 and I never thought I'd see Raduga! She looks gorgeous as well!

GASPED when i saw raduga, i adored that scrapped secretary bird design for savannah (i also adore her final design) so i'm delighted to see another badass bird lady!

Mastodon

Ooh, they look awesome! I love how they all have their own styles, but with a few similarities like their makeup and leather items of clothing (faux-leather?).

*sobs over Jude* Stop it I'm already gay! Seriously they all look AMAZING!! If I was in Fuzzbutts I swear Id have posters of them plastered to my walls lol And Radua!!!!!! My bone eating, "blood covered" goth angel. We finally got birbs!!! And not just ANY birb, but the best one!! Oooh Im getting some ideas about her For now, as I recently lost my job, I'm gonna distract myself with some for funsies hc!!! -Thinking that out of all the band members, Katie is surprisingly the one who most often supports Vanna's more risky lyrics. Listen.... There is a reason sweet bubbly shork gurl is in a rock band. Sharks face a LOT of discrimination and have many hurtful stereotypes about them. Some being "don't ever bleed around a shark, it will send them into a frenzy!" (It is VERY hard for a shark to become successful in the medical field(, and being one of the (only?) fish species to gain sentience, many people view them as barely above what would be a human's caveman. Many assume sharks are very dumb and controlled by their violent instincts. Katie puts on a bright smile (...which scares people more) and tries very hard to educate others on these harmful stigmas. But...well, there are still people that cringe away from her in the street, parents who REFUSE to leave their children in her swimming class and raise a huge fuss over their safety, and "well meaning" professors that praise her when she does well on tests in a very condesending manner. So....Katie finds an outlit and a form of therepy in the band. And hopes other sharks or misunderstood predators find inspiration from their music -Thinking maybe Kate has a little one-sided crush on Savannah? Not some angsty unrequited romance or anything, she just has a lot of admiration and respect for her friend and bandmate buuut she isn't blind to how lovely the hyena is either. She's still figuring things out

RADUGA THE QUEEN HERSELF HAS ENTERED THE SCENE. And Jude's MASSIVE mane of hair is dope as hell. I can't wait to hear more about her and their remaining band mates. The dynamic of them toeing the lines between not going to far but still getting to outlet their frustrations is interesting indeed!

Dean

ALSOALSOALSO- since Bearded Vultures aren't naturally orange and stain their own feathers with dust, in this world is it possible they do so with other colors? Need me a goth Raduga for the band lol

lopoddity

*misses my covid booster appointment so i can inject this into my veins instead* M M M - H M M <3 Dem Katie notes are magnifique!

lopoddity

Yes, though they must be careful to use dyes and dusts that won't damage their feathers. Red/orange/yellow are the most common, they scream "i am confident and also sexy, look at me! >:D" in vulture culture. So Raduga is usually red, though she may dabble in pinks, purples, and blues for shows

Non-Euclidean Cat

I just had the thought today that Raduga could open a highly specialized restaurant called "Bone Appetit".

lopoddity

FUCK, now i'm tempted to draw that

Gleeman and Artist

As someone who grew up on rock and roll, I love this

hmm, so can birds in fuzzbutts fly?
