AL-AN From Behind

The other half of my two subanutica OCs: Andrés. He has the misfortune of hosting AL-AY in his head.

The initial concept for this idea was ‘What if Alterra found an Architect instead?’ I went with it from there. Andrés doesn’t particularly care for the company, or the situation he has found himself in.

Here’s a very adorable animation that AL-AN has in the early-access original story!

I do prefer the final story, but this is so cute. I think they should’ve kept this animation in the final release. It gives him more personality.

Unused aside dialogue about rockgrubs between AL-AN and Robin

Transcript under the cut

AL-AN: The rockgrub is small, but it has a spine. Much like you Robin.

Robin: …How exactly?

A: Like the rockgrub you are small and have a spine.

R: Ah. Thanks?

Sorry for not doing a daily post yesterday! My posts might not be as daily anymore since I’m focused on writing and making art for my upcoming Subnautica fic. (They’ll still be frequent though.)

Currently I’m writing things for my fic, my asks, and doing concept designs. So expect those soon. If I haven’t gotten to your ask yet, I apologize, do know I’m working on it. Everyone is also still free to request specific AL-AN/Architect posts.

AL-AN kiss for your troubles.

AL-AN and Robin doodles for the soul

The many colors of AL-AN :)

If anyone was curious about what AL-AN’s walking animation looked like from the back...

It definitely wasn’t meant to be seen from this angle. That’s for certain.

An unused aside dialogue between AL-AN and Robin. A conversation about gems and names.

Transcript below the cut

Robin: “Looks like this was an Alterra mining site. Gemstones everywhere.”

AL-AN: “Why do humans designate only some minerals as gems?”

R: “Because they're not just functional, we also find them beautiful—decorative.”

A: “Is that why Ruby is a human name according to the database in your PDA?”

R: “I think so.”

A: “Astatine is technically the rarest known element. Do humans name their children Astatine? I did not see it listed.”

R: “…No, I’ve never met a human named Astatine.”
