Finally Finished This, Some Constructs

Finally Finished This, Some Constructs

Finally finished this, some constructs

I refer to sapient/sentient machines in my setting as constructs partially because the term AI is really broad and can apply to a lot of different type of synthetic forms of life/existences. So to keep it simple all constructs are AI but not all AIs are constructs.

These two are some typical designs among CSG/Human (left) and Brakken (right) constructs. The first is a mobile assistant, a type of specialist construct that is meant to go places where an AI network can't while the other is a Brakken mother unit. The majority of human civilization is governed by the CSG, central service grid a vast AI network that manages all aspects of human civilization. They've governed earth and its many colonies for a very long time and most people under their care life relatively safe, post-scarcity lives. All the CSG has historically had problems with control and governing overreach.

The brakken are eusocial aliens who have a queen. The queens primary role is to produce new members for the colony, provide generation knowledge, and support colony cohesion via the psychoactive pheromones she produces. When the queen dies, a whole is left in the colony and in some instances another queen is unable to take her place. Sometimes colonies can reject the queen. Mother units are essentially bio computers which take on the role of a queen of a colony when needed.

3. The Drone

The Drone is a pure-type monster in the shape of a human. They are relics of a bygone era and those that persist past ancient times often have an existence lacking purpose. The Drone is the holder of forbidden ancient knowledge and the keeper of hidden agendas.

The Drone represents servitude, dedication and obfuscation of truths. Those who wield the Drone will find their livelihood in the control of others and their future chained heavily by past transgressions.

This one is a bit unconventional but I wanted to maintain the sort of dream-like, surrealness of regular tarot card.

Mercurions, Aka Cyborgs

Mercurions, aka cyborgs

In my setting Union Station, humans have been in space for more than a millennium and as such have culturally diverged a lot from their terran ancestors. The history of the mercurions is kinda complex. For one, they aren't actually from mercury despite the name, they instead originate from the colony-ship Mercurion which was created as part of the New Horizon Initiative by the governing bodies of the sol system. The goal was to set humanity among the stars, but the Mercurion never arrived at its intended destination, and instead ended up 100 light-years off course in an unknown and hostile star system. Early, FTL at the time, was very risky.

Multiple catastrophe's aboard the mercurion caused the handful of survivors to turn to reproductive cloning and later cybernetics to survive.

As a culture, their society is highly stratified as a result of the Merilink system, a state-enforced caste system managed by a super computer (to be clear not a sentient AI). The initial idea behind Merilink, was to create a meritocracy, were all mercurions were born at the same level of citizenship / rights and could elevate their status based on merit, which usually ended up meaning either wealth or "labor productivity". As expected, it resulted in a deeply rooted system of inequality.

A long history of warfare, imperialism, and xenophobia has essentially left mercurion society fairly isolated from the rest of the interstellar community until fairly recently. There's a movement amoung them to reduce or even remove the merilink system although whether or not it'll actually happen is still up up in their air.

I still have a lot more to put out for these guy's I'm just really bad at getting it out of my head and onto paper

The Gates Of Mul'Dingir

The Gates of Mul'Dingir

The City of the Gods,

Prior to their downfall at the hands of the archons, the Seer watched the world from their golden city. There, they wove tapestries of life and spun the great wheel of the world machine to move the heavens. When the cosmos grew large and their number few they created the servants, the first angels to work on their behalf. Unfortunately such a decision would lead to their demise.

Just some art from a fantasy world building project that's been in the back burner for a while. This is old art I drew years ago, finally got around to posting it here.
