The giant cell ppl no dbz (sorry lame joke)? Who are they?
You're lucky i have no clue what Dbz is.
Big gore warning under the cut! It's alien gore with alien colored blood but gore is gore and it's a little hard to explain these guys because they're just inherently pretty gorey
So the giant cell people are another one of my species I kinda forgor in my original posts. They're basically a weird version of cyborg where they're made up of large but few cells, like, each cell is around close to tissue box size and they can be more easily removed and placed. (You can kind of see it on this image)
This character is one I've got a bit of story for and I've been trying to draw for years: her name is Moondoc and she's a virologist turned field medic during a long and horrible war. Virology is a bit different in this world; as individual's cells are larger and need more control to operate correctly, they work closer to computers than regular cells. Virology in this instance means that they work closer to computer viruses than regular viruses: they infect and hijack a cell to spread malicious "code".
Moondoc's work as a virologist actually comes with a couple unique quirks: this species has the ability to take apart their bodies and put them back together: like a robot, but more organic. They have a much more mechanical control over their own bodies. See the ring on Moondoc's neck? That's actually a protective measure against viruses: It's a one-way information band. If a part of her arm were to become infected persay, then it can't spread to her brain. However, this does mean she's more detached from her own body, and she's got to manually upkeep and clean her own organs so they don't decay for other reasons.
(you can actually see the panels that make up her skin in the bucket).
Moondoc's slowly suffering from a terminal illness that started since childhood and has hollowed out their right eye. She doesn't like to be close to others because she knows she's going to die pretty soon. Doesn't stop her from making friends with two other guys and trying to stop a Particularly Strange Virus from getting to the capitol and causing mass destruction.
