Some sketches I inked during these stressful days at work. Playing around with appearances and ideas for Muinnellim, that it has different motifs it assigns for each first in command Creator it has worked with. It takes on these motifs in its appearance when it references or thinks about past Creators.

Guess who got their new laptop finally!!! It’s been like 3 months without digital art.

Another doodle of Ranul and Muinnellim... wait a minute.............

Yeaaaaah I completely blame this art hiatus on Warframe. I started playing it on my Switch back in December and I'm having a very hard time putting it down. Especially now that I got to all the "fun" parts of the game, fun meaning countless hours of grinding for resources.

Work is still keeping me plenty busy but figured I drew enough of Ranul to compile another doodle dump, and this time with some Muinnellim! Obligatory wall of text time!

A significant event in the present day version of the Noisulli storyline is how Ranul obtains premature authority of the role of first in command Creator. Any authorized "Creator Program-born Noisulli" that touches Muinnellim is given immediate access to all Iolarian programing (except for Muinnellim's own personal body system), allowing them to alter industrial Iolaria to create cities and spawn more of needed materials, manage the Artificial Sols surrounding Esrevinu and Aniram, and monitor the Civilian Programs/cloning stations where all Noisulli are born. Basically anyone who touches Muinnellim becomes legally the first in command Creator.

Ranul isn't the type to go all "world domination" or bend the world to his liking when he gains access, and in fact when he was younger he was kind of stupid when he got all this power. He enjoyed having Muinnellim only because it enhanced his emotions, senses, physical attributes, and "made him feel good". He makes no effort to actually working as the first in command Creator even though he holds the title. Etinifni is aware of this and tries to take back Muinnellim, only for it to reject him in favor of Ranul's hilariously bizarre behavior, something different and far more exciting and far less threatening to Muinnellim. This forces Etinifni to work through Ranul's authority to manage the world's needs, while keeping all of this hidden from the public. And I mean, of course Ranul takes complete advantage of this.

Additional facts! - Once Muinnellim has delegated a part of itself to another Noisulli, it can remotely access the Noisulli's internal Iolarian system and override it, gaining partial control of the host in a form of "possession". The host moves around on their own, but their senses are greatly enhanced. This is done so Muinnellim can work in unison more easily with the first in command Creator and see through their eyes, however the first in command Creator needs to keep a blank mind and avoid strong emotion while Muinnellim is controlling their body, because of risk of overstimulation of the host's internal Iolaria system. They literally become robotic in order to not die of a heart attack or something else.

- Muinnellim's personality is a combination of all the first in command Creators it has worked for. So of course, it falls into the hands of possibly the most dramatic of all Noisulli, which ruins its mature leader-esque personality! During its time spent with Ranul, Muinnellim reverts into something very childlike. Muinnellim is the one persuading Ranul into carrying around and protecting its low-energy/deactivated version of itself (a skull formation), because of it's new childish fear of being alone. (By the way, being around the low-energy mode of Muinnellim is not harmful to a Noisulli, it's only dangerous if its in it's full body mode and walking about which it primarily only does within the Major Artificial Sol.)

While I was working on fixing my annoying new art tablet that doesn’t want to work for more than 3 hours at a time, I played around in Hexels and “revamped” some Creator insignias. I made a colored and noncolored versions, and this mostly will be used as my new phone wallpaper~~~
