Mmf'tir. A race hailing from the 2nd moon of Rigel. A fairly warm, oceanic world. According to their ships archives, they are a living fossil on their homeworld, one of the last of the Mucorposi kingdom, their survival is thanks to a number of reasons, but most important one of them is their insane adaptability, spawned out of their equally unhinged lifecycle.
_ (fig.1 Rigelian Hydra (Mmf'tir<a>umf'm))
The Rigelians' life starts inside the hydra as a bud. These buds grow into the larval rigelian, and develop internal organs before fully separating from their host.
The Hydra itself is the backbone of rigelian social structure, serving as both a nursery, 3d printer and information server. It's the longest living form of a rigelian, able to survive up to 230 years, however, due to the fact it has no "main" head, it is unable to heptate, and therefore is doomed to expire.
This however, does not bother the hydra, as it does not posses any manner of autonomy, it's previously exhibited personality erased entirely.

The larvae remain in the shallow waters for the better part of 6 years as they grow in both sentience and shape. During this time, they go from animals in need of tending to, to menial workers, able to preform manual labor in specially designed exobodies.

The Aethlynn was developed long before the first official contact with humans to aid in ambassadorial duties. As you can see, it's nervous system is not integrated into the larvas, allowing for easy separation when need arises.
_ (fig.4 The Aethlynns major structural components)
This body is a middle ground between rigelian and human anatomy, created based on the data received by the rigelian ships brain over 192 years prier to it's arrival in the solar system. At that time, the ship had not utilized electronic sequencing interpretation. So from what little it could understand, it sourced that humans had long, dexterous upper appendages and strong, upright standing lower ones.
This minuscule amount of info it applied to the basic rigelian body plan, resulting in the aethlynn.

The golem is a unique exobody, a result of collaboration between rigelian colonists and humans. If we remove the opaque exogracii, we can see that the main body is an incredibly dense pod of structural exogracii, making the golem a kind of hardsuit for manual labor.

These exobodies have become so popular, than there are multiple scientific efforts to create a method to allow for other races to pilot them, sadly, there has yet to be any meaningful development on it.
_ (fig.6 Adult Rigelian(Mmf'tyr))
Also known as "the heirophant" this exobody is unique as it's nervous system fully integrates the larva into itself, allowing not only for more precise control, but also heptation and further evolution. The Rigelian will spent around 30 years in this state, until it heptates, turns into a hydra, or expires of old age.
_ (fig.7 Side by Side size comparison)
Rigelians evolved to be rather large due their amphibious lifestyle, of course, it should be noted, that any exobody can be modified by the hydra to suit the rigelians personality and preferences. The most popular bodypart to grow among the colonists are the sensory lobes on their head, which allow for a better depth channel pickup range.
Booo Christianity is fakeeee. Demons and angels don't exist. Catholicism came along with numerous other religions in 1 generalized time period. (very late century); and shaped your world's perspective. Unfortunately this is a time period where everything is fucking midevial to the brim. And after we find out how planets are made basically none of these religions are made again. So it's false shit I assure you. You get this right?...1 simple fact...before government - - - big brother. There was the Church in power. And that is why so many of your government members are religious to a false god...one that does not want demons to be angels. You are in denial, delusion. You have false beliefs for a god that isn't real...to think that God would ever grant demons or aggressive sinner to heaven...
This is ugly ahh. A,,,, um,,,,, ugly ahh basket gang
Some student work that really excites me :) earthenware basket sculpture made to look like welded rebar… The artist said she chose to painstakingly recreate rebar out of clay (using moldmaking) because she is an inexperienced metal worker but still wanted the look. She even developed a special glaze to perfectly mimic rust! Even if you inspect the piece extremely close you cannot tell that it isn’t actually just rusted steel!! When people asked her why she chose to make this she said she’s just inspired by things on the street and still doesn’t understand her subconscious, but really wanted to make it. Incredible and so genius!! Love love love this work with all my heart
