Imsee Recorder with adopted child
I've been thinking a little bit how the Imsee relate to their intelligent constructs. I'm a bit hesitant to call them robots since I think its a very human-centric term that probably doesn't translate well to other sophonts. The idea of the mechanical servant, just wasn't really prevalent among their kind and they had more of a tendency to view technology as either tools or direct extensions of themselves. Mix that in with their propensity to cybernetics and you essentially have a species who finds the concept of an intelligent machine kind of absurd.
So why do they have sapient robots anyway? , you may ask. Well Imsee have incredibly long and well detailed memories and due to the nature of their language can communicate amongst their kind much quicker and in far greater detail than humans. And so, for a long time, most information was retained though oral traditions and the death of a storyteller or a record keeper was a pretty big deal. For the Imsee, intelligent machines were not workers but instead a unique way retain life past death. Its kind of a soma situation, recorders retain the memories of Imsee who've pasted on, and are seen as an aspect of the individual which created them.

The Imsee are a race of aliens, I've been working on for a little while now for a world-building project called Union Station, an extra-firm scifi setting which is a lot of things, but is strongly inspired by DS9, and among other things. The Imsee are one of the core founding species of the setting and are essentially responsible for uplifting multiple alien races prior to encountering humans.

I’m making a Panzer Dragoon based tarot deck. Hopefully I can make a print of these once i’m done.
1. The Dragon
The Dragon is a powerful pure-type monster from an ancient age. Its strength is a reminder of a once powerful age and its appearance in the sky is an omen, a prophetic message of things to come. Those who bear witness to The Dragon are bound almost by fate to a greater purpose.
The Dragon represents the coming of change, personal growth, and pilgrimage. Those who have the Dragon should be weary of the coming trials of the future and the mechanization of powerful enemies.
an art trade for @gt-ridel they asked for an axolotl dragon and I immediately thought of olms, so an olm wizard.
Old 3D model I made in zbrush years ago, unfortunately I lost the original file, but i managed to find an old screenshot, of this guy, my cursed D&D character Clarence Petch-Wayne-Smith III, a disgustingly rich eladrin (the highest of the high elves).
Old art - Comics
A short webcomic I made for the WOMBATS, a local art group I used to be apart of. It was a fun little project to make, and the characters are very much inspired by Miis.
Decided to do a bit of painting practice, tried a different technique, not sure how i feel about it, the colors are kinda dull.
-Danger on the Catwalks-
I’ve been watching a lets play of rainworld and now I just what to draw concept art and stuff. Probably for things I’ll never make but hey it’s good practice. I might make a part 2 or something.
