AL-AN <3

Finished my Below Zero playthrough yesterday and had to draw AL-AN or I was going to explode <3 he's so neat ough. I loved the ending of the game, very nice. I highly recommend playing Subnautica and Below Zero, the OST is really pretty.

Subnautica: Below Zero » Al-An

If I am the last of my kind, I will experience the sorrow of ten thousand souls dimming. And if they survived? With you, I am ready to face whatever awaits.

Suddenly remembered my favourite alien centaur scientist and decided to draw him.

✨In style✨

SUBNAUTICA BELOW ZERO SPOILERS!

Finished Subnautica: Below Zero, had to draw some fanart because I think this lad is cool.

Tidbits:

I draw with keyboard and mouse.

Estimated time spent on the art is around 36 hours.

I don't know how to draw backgrounds at all.

The original size of this artwork was 7200 x 10800, but as it was too big I downsized it 50%.

This was the first artwork I've done in this style, as I usually experiment with styles. Also the largest artwork I've done in my life.

Shading is off because I don't know how to shade.

AL-AN my beloved

SMASH OR PASS: Al-An aka Alan, Subnautica: Below Zero

Propaganda from Mod Curse: YES ALAN!! THANK YOU FOR SUBMITTING HIM!!! <3 He's smart, curious and has a good heart, though a bit unaccustomed sometimes, but it's okay, I love him :')

Please reblog for greater sample size, as per usual!

Nerd-to-nerd communication

Something super pointless and self-indulgent I've had on the backburner for a while. I love trying to make the pieces they gave us fit together!

Al-AN and Robin would absolutely bond over learning about each other's biology. I could talk about this forever but I'll get into all of the headcanons I have for these two in another post eventually

Below the cut is another version with some extra bits and pieces and the transcription

Transcript :

Architect Anatomy A. Architect "Brain" - Doesn't "store" information so much as allow for easy communication with the network B. Brainstem - connects the information received to the central nervous/circulatory system C. "Heart" - Circulatory system pumps the bioluminescent fluid to other organ systems and surface veins. Each node connects to a vast vasculature network D. "Kidneys" - Organs that filter the bioluminescent "blood" and other bodily fluids, absorbing and distributing collected material E. Nerve Center - Receives raw sensory data and filters it. Filtering can be unconscious or intentional

F. "Respiratory" Tract - Intakes gases or liquids and filters out material for use. Disposes of waste on exhale. Provides cooling to internal systems

The respiratory tract functions less like a set of lungs and more akin to a computer's cooling system, with the ability to absorb material from the environment to use in other parts of the body. It also would likely help the architect's body analyze the environment it is currently exposed to on a molecular level. It is also truly unidirectional, with the intake vents near the "collarbone" and the exhaust vents on both sides of the abdomen

The architect organ cache in-game felt like it was definitely not a complete model of the internal organs, so I wanted to come up with something to fill some more space. I also just really liked the idea of Al-An being capable of something similar to breathing, without having a respiratory system in the traditional sense. Feel free to use any of this in your own headcanons if you would like :)

BONUS - a gif of all the layers!

officially finished below zero today. i don't know why but my subnautica fix came back in full swing and i want to write the most banger fic ever. but for now here's what the people really need: al-an loaf.

[omi-papus]

Id like to think of 4546b is a harsh place but not a cruel one. Its a world where you CAN NOT impose civilisation and order in no matter how hard you try. And that is why its a place where only “freaks” can survive. So Murderhobo grandma, Enough autism to cause radiation, “The fish told me to do it”, and ShrimpFucker69 are all uniquely fucked up in just the right way to make a living o no mans ocean.

Like literally both games rely on the protagonist just trusting the voice in their head like thats a normal thing to do.

I found a way for Al-An and Robin to both cuddle and sleep together in a way that will be comfortable for his horse butt 💜💙💚
