A CSG construct has a minor disagreement with an Imsee ambassador
Left Behind Odds and Ends
A short 8 page comic submission for an anthology I decided to pull out from. It’s about a bird alien that falls for a robot from out of space.
Just a lot of sketching as of lately, its the holiday break and I'm soo not motivated to do anything substantial.
reworking an older alien design for the Dram, the old design looked to much like a griffon without wings, and i wanted them to look more alien but keep the original vibe.
And a portrait of a Lichenite, adding to my list of gene modded humans. Despite their appearance they aren't modified much, they're actually wearing an environmental suite made from a genetically engineered species of lichen that's grafted to the body (it not really removable). The horns are not a standard thing, their suits come from different cultivated species.
a collection of fun doodles and studies, of some critters
-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.
"They seemed very tired and lacked the desire to move this cycle. Today, this one felt no desire to feed themselves. The rest of the colony is in the same state. My friends, the brakken, are falling very ill and we do not yet know why" - Starmaker , They Who Drinks Deeply of the Clear Waters
The Imsee and their first encounter with BWD, or Brakken Wasting Disease.
The Brakken are unique uplift case in locale space as unlike other sophonts as when the Imsee came across the Brakken weren't originally sapient but were close to it. They were the Imsee's first attempt at genetically engineering an entire alien species and while for the most part the process was a success it did come at a cost.
Brakken wasting disease is the result of the slow breakdown of their cellular structure that first starts in the nervous system and spreads through out the body. The mechanisms of the disease isn't entirely understood as there isn't a viral agent but appears to spread through pheromones and results in the incomplete formation of many important proteins and metabolic enzymes. Its a very slow disease that is difficult to detect and often times when it is, its already too late.
It's first appearance among the brakken completely took the Imsee off guard and nearly whipped out the brakken species, but in modern times, while they still lack the technology to cure it they've significantly increased the lifespans of those who have it and their quality of life.
Just a painting study of alien, trying to remember digital art
All three of the founding species of my setting together with their initial concept sketches and their current final art. The veem changed the most as i felt that too many of the aliens I've drawn so far were too mammalian like. I've got two more alien I'd like to add but I'm still working working on coming up with a better design for them.
