#scifi project

[vincenzonova]

Been a minute since I posted on Tumblr! I've been working on a scifi project and finally doing some actual concept art for it. Have some character designs for the two main characters: Angst Gremlin Cass and her Feral Brother Nemo

Nemo's design is a work in progress. He used to be this blue-haired boy but has gone through a ton of redesigns. Still, I love this sheet.

The Tegu will probably return in some way or another.

Was encouraged by Tulli to post some of my original work here today for portfolio day. Besides GG20s, I'm also developing a cyberpunk story about a rookie cyborg boxer in an alternate 2001 Los Angeles in the style of late-90s anime.

I also have a side project, developing a video game idea on exploring the Pacific ocean and speculative marine sciences.

Also some posters I've done, including a piece I made for The Lovers.

The worst plan I ever made is the fact that I started my scifi reading journey with The Martian and Project hail Mary cause how the fuck could anything ever top those two books.

Now that we’ve been able to orbit Venus, we’re a lot closer to our ultimate goal, Mars—the next stage of Project Vulcan.

New sophont coming soon

Terribly sorry for spamming with sophonts, but I just feel like I should first upload all of the stuff I’ve acumulated over the past few years building this project (which were mostly sophonts because Total Convergence..? is a lot different from what it started out as). This is a recent drawing of a male Nur’Errkhorr, a species I will talk more about later. The recent female design is from 2022, but this male design got finalized this afternoon. Wow!!!!

Aliens are Gardenworlders / Humans are Space Orcs crossover: Humans take risks that might cause other sapients to be concerned for our wellbeing. What about people who are into Extreme Sports?

In orbit around the Garden World:

"Welcome to our home! I know a few humans who came to live here had...trouble after a few months, but you've said that you have no problem entertaining yourself and should be able to find plenty of enriching activities while here!"

"Thank you so much for approving my relocation, it really means a lot to me!"

"Um...what are you doing? You seem to be putting on an armored pressure suit"

"Oh this? I'm going to go skydiving to make it home. Don't you find landing just so..so boring?"

"You're going to do WHAT? No! you can't! We're still in orbit!"

"No worries, I have my ablative shield/surfboard here!" He holds out a massive, heavy looking oblong board with hundreds of little matte black squares on the bottom. "I'll ride the ionosphere until I'm under Mach 3, pop a drogue to steady myself, and then when I'm going a nice, sedate terminal velocity, I'll pop my regular chute and land."

"THAT'S INSANE"

"Nah, it's all good look!" He gestures around his suit "I have my main, my backup, my emergency, and I'm wearing another one under the suit. I have two knives to cut lines if needed, and the board has a chute too, it won't even land hard!"

"B-b-but"

"Don't worry! Humans have been skydiving forever. Even before we went to space, we had folks who would ride balloons as high as they could go and then jump out. This is only an extension of that."

"Y-y-you can't"

"Nowhere says I can't. I talked with the ship, they're going to pop the ventral airlock when I give the go-ahead. The puff of air will push me clear and I can begin my fall"

"WHAT? THEY WON'T LET YOU"

"Who says I won't?" The Ship said "If this human wants to become a fiery meteorite in the skies above the planet I'm not going to stop them."

"I told you both, It'll be fine. Okay, I'm off! See you on the ground suckers!!!!"

As the airlock closes, the alien says to the ship "Is he going to die?"

"Oh, absolutely. From this though? eh, 75% chance of surviving."

"....fucking humans..."

I have just finished this a couple days ago but I can't get over this friendship T T

"No understand." "Uh..." I pull myself over to his pile of bags. "You're alive. And you're here. And you haven't given up." But his voice remains low. "I try so many times. Fail so many times. Not good at science." "I am," I say. "I'm a science human. You're good at making and fixing things. Together we'll figure this out." He raises his carapace a bit. "Yes. Together."

They're so preciouuuus

hey anyone know any good linguistic-based first-contact stories? I just finished reading project hail mary, and I really enjoyed the parts that included langauge-learning. I've been recommended arrival (2016), and it also seems in the vein of what I'm looking for. I'd be greatful for some suggestions :)

if i had a nickel for every Andy Weir scifi novel im currently aware of which is not part of a series, has a cover depicting a man viewed through the visor of a spacesuit as he stares off into the distance, with the story itself pertaining to him being far from Earth seemingly with no hope of return-
