Vega: doodles

Got a few moments to colorize almost a week old doodles.

And my humans look creepier than any of my creatures, lol.

What the...?

And here's another shot that I wanted you to see as soon as possible before I return to work~

Also, humans' faces are my old scourge, so by making her I also giving myself one way ticket from my cozy comfort zone... good luck to me and you; me - for crying inside, and you - for observing th...

A find

Hey-hey guys, I'm back home! Thanks everyone for your patience, you are the best~

Here I come with an idea how to introduce a second character that I had in my mind parallel to Rah.

First I thought that she will be some badass captain and poor Rah will be just a little entertainment f...

Rahhar's spaceship v.1

Made this one to show a general look of his spaceship (more or less, at least)

Cords and plates at the bottom aren't actual parts of the spaceship by the way. Rah somehow figured out how to trick its systems into merging around foreign objects, and he just enjoys that unpractical and messy ...

Meet Rahhar! v.1

It feels so good to be able to make characters once again <3

I had an idea for Rahhar aka Rahr aka Rah for over a week and finally I put it all together~

First, deciphered:

• trader, outcast;
• kind and enthusiastic;
• memory defect due to injuries;...

Arrach-Ray: more doodles

Been practicing some movements and interactions on these (yup, looks like Arrach-Ray will be tortured by me even further)

I've also been thinking about their bodies, as they are made out of metal, they probably should reflect environment more intensely... and there are ideas for crates... 2019-09-26 21:49:39 +0000 UTC View Post

Arrach-Ray: doodles

I need some rest...

Lately I've been thinking about what I want to see out of the world, and how it will interact with people, and quite frankly I'm not sure which idea to pursue. Main issue that the project has, I think, it's characters, or better to say, the lack of them. Therefo...

Arrach-Ray: insides

Well, officially burned out. 

Starting reboot... Initializing artwork... Leveling level of satisfaction... Finishing the piece... 

Back in action.

Literally, I've started this one out of despair (due to work stuff), and now as I've finished it I've recovered m...

Well, it wasn't here before...

Recently I've been thinking about space parasites, and here's what came on my mind.

Some gross mass that likes Acmirazidium and other metals/synthetic materials. Sort of much unwanted plague for Arrach-Ray (less for Ksedases, because they're pretty far from Raachmaray's moons, where these t...

High noon

Possible look of calm noon on Raachmaray.

I'm really fond of these quick illustrations and was wondering if you want to see something particular drawn? Like, any planet, race or situation? I would love to experiment and practice more with these~

Ksedas and Arrach-Ray: awkward time

Well, this is something that you won't see that often.

Curious fact about Ksedases

You all probably have noticed Ksedases' unusual shoulder structure on the previous works, and here is the answer to purpose behind it.

As Acmirazidium is a relatively heavy metal, Ksedases designed their suits to be both practical and, at the same time, easy to operate, that's why when they...

Raachmaray's surface

I've started this one as a pose exploration, yet somehow it turned into a sketch illustration... oh welp, I definitely don't mind, hope you too~

So back to: this is more or less how sunsets and sunrises looks like on Raachmaray, Arrach-Ray's home planet. And as you can see, this Arrach-Ray ...

Arrach-Ray: Ksedases' edition

And here it is, the first updated suits for Arrach-Ray after four years of silence.

Still just a rough ideas, yet I definitely love how their "old" headpieces looks with a new bodies. I do like their original shells, yet for a sake of story they have to move on (so am I, huh)

Their ts...

A new body for a new Age

Hopefully tomorrow I'll finish this page~

It's a second idea of a suit for Arrach-Ray, the first one was quite a while ago:

Ksedases: legs

As ksedases are shapeless (mostly) without armor, their suits are made to mimic other organic beings. 

First, it's the only comfortable way for them to travel the cosmos and to interact with the other races and objects. Second, those suits were improved many times, and consists of many...

Arrach-Ray: joints and bones

Changes have been made to the Arrach-Ray's genome. Cruel, cruel changes... With each new generation their bones and joints were randomly multiplying. No one knew, how to reverse this plague. Once sacred, now desecrated, the Cradle became their doom. One might thought. Yet there came a salvation. ...

Ksedases: introduction

The time has come, and here they are~

Ksedases, without their metal suits (which are made of Acmirazidium by the way), are a jelly-like beings, that live(d) on Kassad - planet at outskirts of the Arnainskiy Cross (Digela's Arm)

They weren't the reason of a mass destruction, yet they a...

Arrach-Ray: spaceships

Good news! I've managed to dig out some info on Arrach-Ray and their planet, and name of Raachmaray's core's metal is Acmirazidium - I clearly made an unintentional mistake in the past old post, so I'll update it as well. 

And here are some late night spaceships. Nothing that fancy, ye...

Arrach-Ray: sketches

Treating myself after yet another power outage (commissions are intact, yet my nerves are not)

Also, while I was digging through sketchbooks with Ksedases, I found that there was another type of technology, marked as SAR, - meaning combined technology of sivalaary and Arrach-Ray. 

Granderon: old sketches

I'm still alive! Well, barely, with bloody red eyes and frustrated that I've lost progress on two commissions during this week because of a sudden power outs.

I definitely need one of those batteries for my PC... life with a laptop was much easier in that way.

Nevertheless,...

Sitan: a new life for trains?

So I was sketching as usual, and then I remembered about spacetrains.

In the past they did a little, just carried people and goods from afar. Yet what if they were mining resources as well? On their own, I mean (pilots and staff are still included). As they are a hybrid technology, that has...

Sitan: Matrix city sketches

And finished~

I really like the first two sketches. The third one was an idea of how frame threads can fixate themselves under the ground. And the fourth was of landing/burying itself down (looks kinda messy, yet it supposed to "wiggle" its bottom part into the surface, cracking it and maki...

Sitan: Matrix city

Upcoming page~

And there are only six pages left in this sketchbook! I'm so excited being so close to the finish after 4 years of constant returning to it (I took my dear sweet time with this one, yup)

Also, I was thinking about making a video review with my comments after, yet I'm ...

Sitan: sketches

Just want to rest from the screen for a bit~

And, I guess, there's some progress on landscapes we have here (partly, huh).

I do love how antaritan formation looks like on the third sketch, and on the fourth I thought about metal extraction. What if matrix cities were landed on top o...

Tall grass and mountains

Today I've finally finished my work and got some time for this piece~

I think mountains give more depth to the scene, don't they?

P.S.: or not... now I'm confused and still tired, what do you think, should I remove them or let them be?

Tall grass: flat colors

Still in progress, I just love the colors. 

And while I was coloring it I thought about Sitan, oasis or life before explosions on the Asnatar and Savaradan (binary star of the system).

And yep, that's a really tall grass, because average height of an adult sivalaary is around 290...

Tall grass

When people ask me about inspiration, I always say that it should come from within you. All things around should be just a tools to help you express what you are feeling, your wishes and desires, your inner self. There is no need to spent tons of time watching others' stuff, it's curious, indeed,...

Sitan: sketches

Here are some of today's ideas. Painting on this type of paper stinks... RIP my lovely b/w sketches.

Guys, and I'll be a bit preoccupied within this week, mostly because of another work, and boy, I wish I could tell you for whom and what I'll be doing it for.

Oh welp, another...

Antaritan formations v.2

And finished~

Still exploring possible forms, and hmm, what if Antaritan is not a natural metal? That can explain why it can be found only on Sitan, and why these formations looks like fallen meteorites, except that they are pretty much intact.

Or they just formed deep within the grou...
