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.
Learning to draw mechanical things, decided to make some cyborgs. They have literal face masks, its more of a stylistic choice on their part
Skara, Scourge of the Beast, seeking prey or entertainment
Out of the many great beasts, and elder evils which now walk the world, it is perhaps the Nephilim which are the most powerful and feared. They are the offspring of a mortal and an angel, an inherently an unstable union. They never die nor cease to grow and so they reach monstrous proportions with even larger appetites.
Contrary to believe, Nephilim are not wicked by default, but they do require special care and attention. Unfortunately angels make for terrible parents.
Just a painting study of alien, trying to remember digital art
Decided to try coloring this in, I'm still learning how to use markers. Ever since my old graphics tablet died, I've been really debating whether or not i should buy a new one or just stick with doing things traditionally. (I'm not a big fan of pen tablets for drawing ) On one hand, messing around with markers and color pencils is really therapeutic for me right now, but I always feel apprehensive about doing things traditionaly, I guess I'd call it FORO (fear of running out). Its dumb i know, they're kinda meant to be used but still.
Either way, i think it came out okay.
