The Resisty actually play a decent part in my AU shenanigans, so had to make my own batch of terrors.

Sampson is one of the few (if only) that can go up against Ergo…barely.

Piebald brain go!

Delilah is Cami coded. Unlike the namesakes; they get along pretty well.

Doodle from yesterday (wanted panels, next time!); Nyx going over details for the Stealth Elites to go buckwild on a Resisty group hiding out in some sector…

Ergo snarkin’, hahaha. A couple of the background Irkens (outside of Nimbus) on the Stealth Elite side I’ve been fiddling with in my head and will have to make a proper ref sketch later.

I like adding nodules of keratin to their skin so the lil Warrior with the “hair” came out too cute. ;A; Added to my pile of randos who I ended up designing on the fly for the image but ended up loving the outcome to much lol…

Was supposed to be a size comparison with these two Dorks…turned into color render shenanigans testing.

She can’t go anywhere with him. Ergo is the definition of problematic.🥲

Rook; retired Invader. Works as head of Security and liaison for some of the more wily planets - Limbida (coined by the same friend with IR…the “Red Planet” has a reputation) being a predominant one.

I am having to double check where and what I’ve posted; realize this one hasn’t graced this place as of yet. Going to bomb FA soon as some stuff I can’t post here anymore…alas!

Three on the left are from an inside joke with an IRL friend of mine. All work for Irken Resources. Nod is Daria coded…mostly. Nemo is Head Supervisor; Winkin is secondary and does most of the work…though as my friend put it they kinda gave up since the Empire is a cesspit and hardly anyone gets in trouble for their shenanigans anyway on the upper tiers.

Winkin is with the “Vortian Embassy” even if the planet has been sacked already…they still like to make it seem like their have some semblance of independence (but not really hahaha…)

Every great vision begins as a secret - guard it fiercely! It requires a sanctuary to incubate, not a stage. Not everyone deserves access to the blueprint of your becoming. Some will mistake your vulnerability for naivety, your passion for arrogance. To share your vision with those who lack the courage to dream themselves is to invite a silent war between their cynicism and your faith. Seek those who lean in to your aspirations,whose eyes ignite with recognition & encourage, not judge and demean.

CLAWS FOR DAYS. HAHAHA!!!

Oh; the terror of colors as I attempt to remember some of my old skill sets. Finished a few days ago. Gonna touch back on some other things for colors but eh; how these two appear in my Arcadia AU.

I’ve redone Red a couple of times but eh; this current looks fits the bill. They are still huge and the only Tallests in power in AU. First time actually finishing Purple. Dorky brosefs.

“Full renders” i’d probably stick to splash pages and full blown illos and the flats are easier to manage due to time constraints. 🙃

Finished this revamp…my doomtown Science turds. I wanna punch ‘em all in the beaks. Lovingly.

Icarus is technically a “Medic”; but it’s a “catch all” in my Universe as anyone under the Sciences banner knows the gist of pretty much anything in that arena of knowledge.

[irkenarcadia]

Realizing I didn’t post my other dorks whose rough sketches I finished here…

Eros looks like he escaped a Chuck Jones cartoon lol…dumb.

Castor got some major battle damage during an invasion and usually stoops so when he actually does pull himself up, he is a big guy.

WIP More revamps! Got out of work late or woulda beat them up more but moved on to my science boyos. Ganymede’s glow up. He is adorbs.

Anyway, left to right- Ganymede, Mercury and Asclepius…latter is a snot ass. Original look to the right. Dragging down the details is something else; but it’s easier to color on time constraints!

[irkenarcadia]

More redos! Ahahaha…

I fear the day I attempt proper refs of all these turds as a personal project.

…they are cute though!
