Coloring some line-art from my sketchbook. Some pseudo-saurian from earth, an Imsee biomecha, and a little imsee doodle in the corner. I'm still working on another bigger digital illustration but painting just takes me a while.
Another thing the Imsee do, full body bio-sculpting.
The Imsee throughout their history have experimented a lot with genetically modifying their own species. In fact, they have some of the best gene-modding technology around. . Full body genetic reconfiguration is broadly accepted among the Imsee and there are two morphs which are the most common among their population.
Yehenne, Shadow Wanders
The Yehenne is an imsee modified for a purely aquatic lifestyle. They are similar in appearance to earth's whales, particularly the sperm whale and are capable of diving to incredibly deep depths. Their echolocation is much stronger than other Imsee
Yihinee, Sky Children
Sky children are imsee which modified themselves for terrestrial living and flight capability. The Imsee clade evolved from an avian ancestry and once this was discovered their species was dedicated to unlocking the power of flight ever since. Yihinee morphs are common among the map makers of the Ways of Water.
Imsee Dancer
Imsee don't usually wear clothes most of the time, (its a hassle in the water) but when they do, its for the holidays. Dresses with long ribbons and bells are popular. Much like dolphins Imsee are adept at aquatic acrobatics and the bands and ribbons are designed to produce memorizing matters when twirled and spun.
Mix that in with some nifty anti-grav technology and you've got quite dazzling the display of dancers jumping from floating pools of waters.
Going to start designing some better clothes for my aliens.

All three of the founding species of my setting together with their initial concept sketches and their current final art. The veem changed the most as i felt that too many of the aliens I've drawn so far were too mammalian like. I've got two more alien I'd like to add but I'm still working working on coming up with a better design for them.
Some more world-building notes, still experimenting with line-art, thinking of doing my line art traditionally in the future. Anyway some notes on early Imsee writing implements.
As a species with long lifespans, the imsee have incredibly detailed and extensive memory retention. So for a very long time, most of their knowledge was retained through oral tradition. However as settlements grew in size and social life more complex, they realized they needed a method of information storage. As an amphibious species, where water is a key aspect of everyday life, mediums like paper or ink simply weren’t an option for them. Instead Imsee's early writing utilized wax. Early wax tablets were derived from animal fat, which were then poured into a dish and hardened. Text is scrapped onto the surface using a needle. If the author wanted the text to be permanent a layer of resin was applied to its surface and placed into storage.
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.
