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 the results of those efforts, huh...

So back to Vega. 

Someone received body upgrades. When Rah found her she was barely alive, yet some parts were not. I'm still not sure about arm's d...

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 for her and her crew, but, as you can see, tides have turned drastically and I have other plans for Vega (work in progress name? - let it be so for now)

And I'm still not sure how to acquaint you...

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 sight of his home (so goes for the paints), as it gives some sense of coziness for him.

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;
• theoretical military past (doesn't remembers);
• doesn't mind being addressed as they or him;
• loves clothes and trinkets (what(which?) is hilarious for Arrach-Ray);
• ...

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... what am I spending my time on *existential crisis intensifies*

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. Therefore there are no connection, no particular associations, just plain facts and visuals. And I truly want to fix it. 

I have my sweet crew of SA spaceship named Aslargion - from sivalaarian it...

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 my mental stability. 

Ah, tranquility, sweet tranquility. 

Still have quite a few works to finish. Hopefully I'll make them before October, because then I'll be out of country for...

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 things originate).

It's pretty easy to get rid of those things while they're small, another thing when they make holes inside ships and become tremendous... It's better to double-check everything...

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 aren't performing any specific tasks (like, maintaining ship's systems, gutting new species in the name of science etc) they lower themselves on all four to walk around and, as a result, reduce weigh...

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 already been implemented with a new body from Ksedases (still a rough one, yet better than none!)

Fun fact, that the weather on Raachmaray is 99% thunderstorms, with occasional clear spots scatt...

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 tshetres, aka hearts, are still in the same place/position in the body, and the transfer from a distorted bodies is quite painless/safe for mental health.

Here is an old piece where (top left corn...

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 different species that ksedases had studied in the past, and so there is a room for them to improve it even more in the future.

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. A foreign idea, to use Acmirazidium as their saviors too. Ksedases were collectors interested in foreign races, half in their technologies and, above all and all moral norms, their biology. They came ...

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 are the first ones who stepped into the Age of the Down with a new purpose, a purpose yet to be told.

The fire of a civil war covered the Kassad. The Kassadian Fleet been divided into three warri...

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, yet I do love to draw them. One day I'll turn them so they won't be only just a profiles...

Also, while digging for info, I found long (thought) gone drawings, not only with Arrach-Rays, but with ...

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. 

And yep, two years have passed since the last time I drew them, so the sketches are quite messy, yet we have 35 more sheets of my new sketchbook to fix it.
