Decided To Do A Bit Of Painting Practice, Tried A Different Technique, Not Sure How I Feel About It,

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.

Old art - Comics

A short webcomic I made for the WOMBATS, a local art group I used to be apart of. It was a fun little project to make, and the characters are very much inspired by Miis.

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.

Imsee Cuisine!

Imsee are opportunistic obligate carnivores so most of their diet consists primarily of meat and animal fats.  

Imsee lack taste, literally. During their evolutionary development  they lost the ability to taste all flavors except for salty and as a result imsee cuisine generally tends to emphasize, appearance, smell, and texture. Much of their food is very aromatic or pungent and is not always appealing to other sophonts. 

Imsee were kinda late to the whole using fire to cook things, mostly due to the difficulties of maintaining a fire pit close to their preferred living areas, i.e close to the water, and that their main appendages used to manipulate their environment sits on their face. Cooking gets a little dicey if you’ve got to put your face right up to an open flame. So cooking with a flame was not something that was done on a regular basis and was relegated to special occasions. Instead Imsee utilized either acid or parasite-cooking. Acid cooking works on a similar principle as ceviche, raw meat is soaked in a mild acid to clean it and to denature protein. Acids were typically derived from plants. In some instance food could be “cooked” in the harvested stomachs of other animals. Fire worms are small 6 limb vertebrates which spit acid as a form of self defense against predators and are a common source for acid in many imsee cultures. 

Now for parasite cooking:

Imsee are usually filled with parasites which they get from the food they eat. This isn’t particularly a problem for them as a healthy Imsee can live a long and happy life as they have a pretty strong immune system and advanced medical technology. Parasites are pretty prevalent among aquatic life on their home world and some are prone to breaking down their host tissues when they begin to proliferate making meat that is easier to break down and digest. They also provide a lot of intriguing texture that the imsee palette tends to like.  Early imsee farmers would purposely infect their animals specifically for that type of meat. Due to ethical concerns modern imsee no longer use live hosts for this but instead lab grown organ meat  instead. 

While fire stoves are pretty much non-existent in most Imsee households, they do utilize chemically heating pads. Sorta like a hot patch but gets hot enough to simmer water. Most heat pads can be reused multiple times but generally lose strength with subsequent use. 

Decided to do a slight redesign of my greylings i posted a long while back i want to do a big post on all of the "genetically modified humans" (i.e my excuse for humanoid aliens, as while I prefer non-humanoid aliens i still like the classic humanoid ones too) in my setting, I've been looking at a lot of fashion as of lately and was enamored by the work of balmain fall 2022, This outfit is fairly conventional but i really want clothing styles in union station to really weird and out there.

Inspiration was pretty much from these outfits

I'm going to try and find away to shoehorn these dresses in there some where, especially the one on the right

A little more about the Qoati, early ideas really.

Qoati Replicants

The Qoati are my precursor species of aliens that once had a civilization across the galaxy. (really the only species known of that had a civilization that large). They have some bizarre technology, many of which defies our understanding of physics. These are essentially robots, created by the Qoati, millions of years ago to manage Interspace (an artificial alternate dimension) and part of their strange appearance is because, they can freely move between interspace and normal space. Some replicants are actually 6th dimensional constructs that can only exists across both interspace and normal space

As to what their made off, well that's anyone guess. But its definitely not matter that's for sure.

Design wise, I want Qoati tech to look ambiguous, almost as if your looking at something recognizable but also not really. Is this a living thing, or a statue?, what am i even looking at, kind of vibes.
