The Seers

When the Wandering God came they saw a canvas of possibilities and so they began to cast upon the void, an array of light from which the stars grew. When the Wandering one saw patterns amongst the newly made celestial sky they gave them names and then forms, and these forms became the Seers constellation given life. In that early era before time, the Seers and the Wandering God created the heavens, but eventually the god grew restless for it was in their nature to move and never be still. So prior to their departure they created an empty world and gave it to the Seers and said,

"Fill this place with wonder, and equal parts dread. Have this be a place of many tales and most all let it be well. "

With that they left, leaving only a promise that they'd return one day when the stars were right.

Old Art Roundup from 2020

This was my art submission for the artbook "Girls Who Love Monsters". The kickstarter didn't succeed but the book was still available for print on demand. Either way it was a cool project to contribute to.

I decided to color this really old piece of lineart, from like years ago. Might work on it a bit more in the future, or maybe not but either way, I'm done messing with it for now.

Been a little busy lately and and didn't have much time for art as of recently, but I've come up with another group of colonists. I don't have a name for them yet, but their essentially humans / alien hybrids who have a genetic trait which causes the duplication of certain organs or skeletal structure. This one is sporting an additional set of eyes. Just a quick bit of line art.

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

More experiments in learning how to draw robots, I'm not sure how i feel about the top part, the shape is odd, but i like the idea of arms on a track that can rotate around.

About Me

This is my side blog where I keep most of my artwork, sorta like a digital sketchbook. I've got a few other blogs that I use a bit.

I also have a few world-building projects I do for fun:

Union Station
