A Kind Visitor

Slight redesign of the brakken, working on making another info-graph for space-encyclopedia but a few bits I'll share now, unlike a few other sophont species, the Brakken weren't originally a space fairing species in-fact they weren't even sapient. A few centuries prior they were genetically modified by the Imsee and uplifted further by them. So compared to other species in locale space, their societal history is incredibly short. They may look a bit like cats, but their social structure is similar to eusocial insects.

A bit more on the Imsee

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.

Just some doodles of my alien squid whale guys. Trying to get a better feel on how to draw them

Ambush

I wanted to try drawing a more nature based setting. Our cat friend fending off a group of barracheetas. 

Just a chill lichenite lounging around. Decided to draw a full body lichenite to get an idea of what their suits look like. Underneath it all lichenites look like regular humans but have slits across their body which allows their suits to intravenously connect to their bodies.

The suit itself is grown rather than manufactured and tends to look like a nest of bandage wraps in its immature form. Young lichenites are placed within them soon after birth as they can't survive on their homeworld without it.

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.

Hello, tumblr user. Before you is a tumblr post asking you to name a female fictional character. You have unlimited time to tag a female character, NOT a male one.

Begin.
