The portraits Onoda gathered not only show the varied interior designs in the Plant’s apartments, but also their inhabitants. We chose to publish a select gallery because we were unable to find the contact information for many of the residents. Onoda interpreted this as the Obara Nori maintaining privacy even after the apartments had shut down.

Making Humanoids Less Human

I did make a small post on this, but now I've got the art for a much bigger and more detailed post! so here we go.

I had several anonymous asks that all came in quick succession weeks ago. Every single one of them was basically just a variation on "how would you take (typically humanoid) fantasy being, and make them look less human?"

This blog does not exist for me to just give people original designs for free, my goal is to show off my own personal thoughts about fantasy design and help people figure out how to adjust their own designs to fit their vision better. That means when people ask me questions about how to do something, I want to give them things to think about so they can come to their own conclusion. I don't mind making original designs to illustrate concepts, but a whole flood of "show me how to make this specific thing look different" all at once like that was too much. I'm not answering them all individually, it's just not what I want to do.

But what I can do is show my own thoughts and ideas about how to take any fantasy design and push it further away from "human", and you all can look at my ideas and figure out your own way to do things!

So here are the main 4 methods I've come up with to make humanoids look less human.

(image description: a simplified drawing of a humanoid face surrounded by four altered versions of the same face. clockwise starting from the top left, they are:

Speculative, drawn as a cat person. Additive, drawn with horns, pointy ears, sharp teeth, and a second pair of eyes. Subtractive, drawn with blank eyes, no nose, and no eyebrows. Exaggerative, drawn with a long face and huge eyes, as well as a wide mouth, narrow nose, and big ears.

end description)

I am personally a fan of the speculative route, which means exploring an alternate root of evolution to create a new design. Through this method, I've created monkey elves, frog goblins, and pig orcs.

the additive option is the most common, I think. adding new feature or doubled features to a humanoid form is a very intuitive way to change the design and make it look less human. you see this in most fantasy and scifi designs, like star trek aliens and the dnd player races.

subtractive and evaggerative are the most common options for people that like the uncanny valley. it's really easy to make uncomfortable designs by removing or exaggerating recognizable features, and they're often used together. Slenderman, for example, removes all facial features and skin color but also exaggerates the limbs and body.

Combining the four methods will give you a really interesting design as well! So for practice I decided to explore an alternate design for Tieflings, the part-demon player race in dnd.

(image description: four examples of differnt tiefling designs using the previously described methods. the additive example is just offical dnd art of a tiefling woman with purple skin, horns, and a long tail.

the subtractive sketch looks very alien, with a bald head, empty eyes, and no other facial featuers aside from a small mouth. it has three fingers per hand and two toe per foot.

the exaggerative sketch shows a hunched humanoid figure with huge eyes and big ears. the neck, limbs, and digits are all long with claws at the ends of the fingers and toes, and the limbs are also quite muscular.

the speculative sketch shows a bipedal figure with features similar to a giraffe, including a long neck, ossicones, and hooves.

end description)

now, because tielflings have such a distinct look to them, obviously my new sketches don't really look like tieflings, do they? the only one that comes close is the giraffe. relying only on one type of alteration to the human form has left the designs rather empty and lacking in the more iconic traits of the original concept. so i tried a sketch that combined my ideas! it came out looking like a completely different creature lol, like it could be a kobold or something, still not really a tiefling.

(image description: a sketch of a creature with a giraffe-like head, long tongue, and sharp teeth. it appears to be roaring at something and stands in a half-crouch. it has long limbs with hoof feet and clawed hands, as well as a long tufted tail curled behind it. end description.)

didn't work out. too far into the animal side of the speculative evolution, I think. so I tried again and got a design I liked much better!

(image description: a digital painting of a tiefling leaping back and casting a glowing orange spell. she is wearing a tunic with a corset and detached sleeves, as well as several pieces of jewelry. Her skin is purple with dark patches like a giraffe's spots, and she has a giraffe's ossicones as well as hoof-like hands and two-toed hoof feet. Her tail is long with a tuft at the end. She has glowing eyes and a flat nose, and there is a single sharp tooth visible poking out of the side of her mouth. end description.)

Brought the face back into slightly more human proportions and that helped a lot. Sometimes designs just take a few tries! that's normal.

and hopefully this is helpful to all of you! there are so many ways to alter humanoid designs to come up with something original and unique to you!

The video accompanying the project (turn the english subtitles ON ^^)

One might think that Magical Girls are a typically Japanese genre given how the country assumes the kawaii aesthetic comparing to the Occident. But like all kinds of stories, Magical Girls aren't the property of any culture and one can easily find "Western" examples like "W.I.T.C.H.", "Winx Club", "Star VS The Forces Of Evil" or "Miraculous Laydbug". And among all these examples, this month we will talk about "LoliRock" ! In my rewrite, I gave each girls a specific gemstone, some specialties in their musical career/practice of magic and affinities with some kind of elements.

I take this opportunity to make a quick dedication to the creator of the series, Jean-Louis Vandestoc; and to TeamLoliRock which helped me a lot in this video's writing.

Iris, Princess of Ephedia

Age : 15

Role in the band : lead singer, lead songwriter

Title & Kingdom : earthling, lost Princess of Ephedia

Symbol : Heart

Gem : Roselite

Skill(s) : singing; music-writing; dancing; crystal magic; sound magic; agility; leadership

Affinity(ies) : Light, Energy, Sound

If I had to rewrite the series, I'd like to use more of her magical voice presented in the 1st episode and not really used in the rest of the series. I'd also like to make Iris more impacted by the revelation of her magical identity. I imagine her developing an almost unhealthy obsession for Ephedian culture in an identity quest typical of teens with 2 cultural backgrounds. The series would then be an opportunity for her not to base her identity on her dramatic origins and to understand that she is as attached to the Earth as she is to Ephedia.

Talia, Princess of Xeris

Age : 16

Role in the band : keyboarder

Title & Kingdom : Second Princess of Xeris

Symbol : Diamond

Gem : Sapphire

Skill(s) : singing; keyboard; dancing; knowledges about magic and other worlds; crystal magic; agility; strategy

Affinity(ies) : Water, Spirit

Xeris is supposed to be a world with all the knowledge about the magic of this universe or almost. So I guess they'd took the opportunity to improve everyday life with techno-magic as we see here and there in the series. If I could rewrite the character, I'd like to accentuate Talia's trauma of her kingdom's invasion (writers are sadists, don't deny it). To the point of almost never allowing herself to rest and being appallingly demanding of others. During the series, she would eventually agree to get help for her survivor syndrome and not let her past poison her life.

Auriana, Princess of Volta

Age : 14

Role in the band : choreographer, drummer

Title & Kingdom : First Princess of Volta

Symbol : Crescent

Gem : Sunstone

Skill(s) : dancing; singing; tambourine; crystal magic; defensive magic; agility

Affinity(ies) : Fire, Protections

If I could rewrite the character, I'd like to play on the fact that Auriana is the 2nd of a very large family and has the feeling that she must prove herself to exist in their eyes. And what better way to prove her worth than finding the Lost Princess of Ephedia and helping her in her fight against Gramorr ? Eventually, however, Auriana would realize that she was doing all of that for wrong reasons and eventually take her responsibilities to Iris and the other worlds seriously.

Behold my Spidersona, Storm Spider! Or Stormy for short like 'Spidey'. And her real name is Skye Sanders.

She is both the calm and the storm. Has the generic spider powers, and bio-electric venom like Miles. But her's is bit more potent then his. Meaning what she lacks in his cloaking, she makes up for in stronger venom. Her webs are also specially designed to conduct her electricity, her favorite move is the taser-web. Her suit is made of smart fabric, clothing laced with technology. Some of which monitors her vitals and wattage output, thermals to keep her harm in intense cold, condition sensors, an emergency beacon to alert certain contacts, color changing stealth mode (not invisible, just blend), it can also conduct static around her to keep giving her energy, and its outer layer is made of a virtually strong materiel. An armored fabric stronger than steel. There are other benefits to her suit besides what its made of such as high-tech lens, multi-functional headphones (music, communicator earmuffs), clip-on hood, and pockets. Her powers tend to be stronger in the winter, and during storms.

While she isn't as smart as either Peter or Miles. Stormy has a friend who is very tech savvy, that made her suit. She's always in closed communication with her friend in case she needs a brainiac to help figure things out. Though she isn't knowledgeable about everything scientific. Stormy still has a great perspective and high IQ. She can read people very well, notice things hard to see. Not to mention her strong hearing. Stormy also a lot of heart and is wiser then most her age, She can thank her mother for that. Most times while swinging though the city, she's listening to music. Skye capital-L, Lives for music! She's a musician playing her electric guitar, loves to sing, and listens to every kind of genre there is. Definitely a spider who could take on Electro.

Thing is though this is only half of my sona. I and Skye are geminis, which means we're both twofaced. Consider Storm Spider the calm, get on her bad side and you'll see the true storm.

Her favorite song is: Electric Youth by Debbie Gibson.
