#vinesian

Happy Valentine's Day! Here's some cards I made for your special somebody, and if you don't have a special somebody, have these cards as a personal gift from me to you. It's not easy to find love out there, especially as people divide themselves from communication each passing year. But as long as you find someone to build a connection with and maintain it, as well as improve on your own flaws to become a better self and vice versa, then I think you might be able to find who you're looking for—sooner or later. But in case you don't or never do. Then let me say this to anyone who may be reading: I love you, even if you don't love yourself for whatever reason. Take care

So this was supposed to be a simple headshot sketch of @saureal.png character Lillith, but as usual, I went a little overboard and decided to add more details to it than originally planned. So I'm gonna post this one since I enjoyed making it so much.

Made a birthday gift for @kingmystrie yesterday. Have this for now while I work on bigger stuff again.

Vinesian bodies are incredibly complex, and more is being discovered about these psychic beings by the year. With their hybrid-like physique, flexible flesh and bone, adaptable organs, and a special nervous system called the Psychic System, Vinesians are a thriving species that challenge odds greater than their own and continue to stun biologists and anthropologists alike. Almost a month in the making and the anatomy sheet is done. I'm really proud of this one since I don't normally draw full body systems like this, so it was a great journey to not only learn about the bodies of other animals, but also appreciate the human form in a way I haven't before. This really did pay off!

While I'm still working on the anatomy page of the Vinesian Encyclopedia, have this piece I made for my friend Lykythos as a Vinesian. This was really fun to work with, and it's always nice to be able to draw my friends as my alien species.

Here's me as a vinesian because I haven't indulged myself in my species dysmorphia enough.

Vinesians are a race of sapient reptilians that bear mammalian features and have the ability to use psychic powers by utilizing mental energy similar to how humanoids use physical energy to conduct tasks. They are a highly social and hedonistic alien species that form sophisticated constructs, including culture, politics, economics, and science. Their influence has not only expanded across their world, llathok, but other worlds as well via colonialism and is still expanding to this day due to their hyper-capitalist nature. While Vinesians are extremely dangerous, they prefer diplomatic relations over violence, usually through divide and conquer tactics as a way to mitigate loss of resources. A small population of this species lives on the outskirts of the llathok Federation as a way to oppose the neo-liberal regime. My first open species reference sheet is complete! Meet the Vinesians, a race of powerful aliens that are more than willing to do business with you!

But with that being said, expect some "new" characters to make an appearance this month.
