Species Design - Blog Posts
selkie posting hours. updated my selkie lore and came up with this design (don’t remember what the old lore was exactly but now the typical form for a selkie is a seal or this freak and a proper human disguise is much more difficult)
colored one is like.,. the first or second sketch so its a bit rough. but anyway ive been trying to improve my humanoid designs and integrate human and nonhuman features better and i like how these guys look. if i could fuck up the body proportions even more it would be fire.
feat. me trying to figure out how willow, my one confirmed selkie character would look in this form (very difficult his features do not mesh at all). also feat a radon fairy glenn drawing.
random cat scribble from procrastinating., and some sketches from a design i was thinking about. this is all from the same day, i was thinking a lot about saber toothed cats.
hello tumblr i spent all of yesterday thinking up fairy designs and lore i actually kinda like them.
here are some cropped parts from the less comprehensible page
it was fun to figure out the life stages (basic bug metamorphosis but humanoid). i spent so long learning about butterflies yesterday.
anyways they’re divided into two classes, sun worshipping elitist weirdos, and the normal ones that are chill. I also decided to give them a sort of eusocial insect societal organization but the chill ones would be a bit less intense in that aspect.
they’re like.,., 1 1/2 feet tall? and live in little fairy cities.
Moth race designs + the older god concept that inspired them. don’t look too close at the mouth bc i never got to a point where i liked it.
anyways current lore for these guys until i change it: the moth god is one of the two moon gods (i think the smaller moon?) and the moth race would be divided into the one living on said moon and one living on the continent. they’ve also got a whole thing with their religion and status (represented by the masks)? the ones on the continent probably have to goal of going to the moon. they’re also one of the few species that directly tied to a god and doesn’t have a clear evolutionary line.
Bio-Angel design that was send to me by the power of shower.
Thought proces was driven by ,,If I were an ancient shepard, what features could I descirbe as the ones in Bible (and later art)?", also I love stained glass in churches and wanted to include the same feelings they gave me.
Notes but in text +fallen angel notes v
😇
Angelymph- holy, glowing gas that allows angels to levitate in the air. On great heights angelymph fills entire body, making it glow like an alive star, near erath's surface special halo-shaped organs compress gas around ribs and edges of umbrellas.
Beak, no teeth, proved great method of air exchange during flight and making very wide range of sounds
Angels’ skin is very flexible, covered in soft scales and almost translucent (in areas where it’s thicker white color is visible)
Umbrellas (3x on head) are used for jellyfish-like motion while leg-wings make direction change easier
Muscle and bone tissue is blue,
Leg-wings work in way analog to bat wings, many people had mistaken them for white gown
No reproductive system and reduced pelvis (among many other bones), angels never fully stand on earth, they are delicate in struture
God’s eye, always open, the brightest element, looking at it could multiply human vision or induce hallucinations (especially among sinners)
Around 2.5 meters tall and 5 meters "wingspawn"
😈
Falling: the only way to trully disobey God is by intentionally removing the All-Seeing Eye (works sort of like eating forbidden fruit for humanity). This gives angel (hereinafter referred to as demon) free will, but also quickly deprives angelymph, causing physicall fall.
Horns: are remains of umbrellas, soft membrane easily tears apart on surface and dies off. The same thing happens to leg-wings. This althought painfull is actually beneficial, allowing them to walk on bonetips.
Injures (marked red) never fully heal, causing neverending burning pain sensation. Most of the body tightness and hardens during healing, leaving demons small compared to their former selfs. Under 1.6 meters.
Body fluids: Abscence of angelymph is slowly replaced by normal blood , this mixed with blue organs and scales (it hardens like in exosceleton after molting) makes demon skin purplish-ash color.
Behaviour and look: Demons are way more eager to interact with humans, hence more close to reality depictions. This also caused them to adapt human clothing and fashion. Demons like modyfying their body, buying bodyparts from humans (they suprisingly match, and take demon colorations) or making metalic upgrades.
🧑
Human forms: Angels can disguise perfectly as anyone, delicate pulsating can be felt under forehead if you touch it in right spot.
Demons are easier to spot, they human skin is weirdly dead-looking and pale (compared to population, not necessarily white) And largest horn pair is not fully hidden.
