My trans girl horde clone oc, that I’ve always wanted to make <3

she’s tall compared to other clones (I wanna say 8’3 maybe?)

Her entire story takes place after the whole prime war thing obviously lol, but she has not named herself yet. She’s trying to find something special to name herself after.

(also this isn’t my drawing, it’s just like editing over an image and stuff)

Hmm what else can I talk about.

She’s one of the uh head helpers of the healing committee in the fright zone and beast island. I imagine they try and idk fix that stuff once the war is over, and both of those places seem like total dead zones, so I like to imagine that they start trying to grow stuff there or see what’s making the sky red over there. Or getting rid of the monsters and the vines that make you hate yourself on beast island. 

Anyways uh she helps with that stuff.

I also imagine she somehow makes friends with double trouble, she meets them when she interrupts double trouble getting their final pay check from either the horde or brightmoon. Whichever one works cause honestly, they probably got both. Double trouble gets money. Anyways they become close friends (this isn’t because double trouble is my favourite character and my blog is themed around them definitely.)

Also they probably met before my character even figured out that you could change your gender, didn’t even know what being trans was man. She found out and she’s just like oh my god you can do that !?

Also I think all horde clones eventually thete eyes change colour, because I feel like hordak probably had green eyes originally and then they’d went red so? Idk I like different coloured eyes.

Also she’s actually rather quiet, when she was first disconnected from the hive mind it was such a like shock for her, I imagine the horde clones didn’t really do small talk so she forgets sometimes that she has to like talk to people and that everybody doesn’t already know what she’s thinking.

!FLASH WARNING!

I was working on this vid back in 2021 but soon abandoned this project. However, yesterday I suddenly felt motivated enough to finish it in one sitting lmao. It was supposed to be a small "introduction" video to my young Prime/Kur twins AU. I still like it quite a lot actually c: It's giving analog horror

I have but a little poem this time, so here is an abstract from a song that I love, it is from Black Math, the song is called Sirens:

"How open is Your empty space I’m moving in We’ll see the end of something unfamiliar I saw your hand You took awhile The cold was crisp I thought your warmth Would break the silence But all I hear are sirens

You take me Far, I’m far from safety Lines where you try to chase me On hollow ground I’m navigating this mystery While I follow you into your history"

. . .

Clone OCs, pencil sketches

I sketched these half a year ago for my Galactic Horde fic(s). Mainly character concepts for future digital works. They are rough-ish, and no exciting action poses. 😂

Hordak's cadre of Brother-Knights. My pre-banishment Horde (the Holy Order of His Immortal Majesty) was inspired by Knights Templar and Arthurian legends, and features differently engineered clones from several generations. Young Hordak/Light-Bringer serves as Prime's second-in-command during a time when greater individuality for the clones was allowed. Characters from right to left:

Warmaker: chief weapons-master.

Lore-Gesith: Hordak's mentor. Close to the end of his life span at around 3400, he can no longer fight. Hordak, whom Prime originally created as a companion or the equivalent of a son as an experimental clone, was decanted with a juvenile mind in the body of an adult. He needed some common sense and manners hammered into his skull. Reprogramming was rarely practiced in the Order.

Left Hand (of Light-Bringer): programmer, one of the best fighters in the cadre, and sports a questionable sense of humor. C. 500 years old. He was not originally decanted as a Brother-Knight, but gradually rose from the lower ranks.

Light-Bringer, c. 200 here.

Right Hand (of Light-Bringer): grumpy military tactician, possibly a Horde priest. Over 3000 (changed his age recently), yet still an agile menace on the battlefield.

Victualler: chief supplier of materiel.

Archiater: chief physician.

Yes, two of them have beards. 😂 The entire generation of Lore-Gesith harbored genes for facial hair growth. Victualler is much younger, but emerged from a small experimental patch whose DNA was mixed with older genetic material.

---

A possible outfit design for Lore-Gesith.

Circle-Closer is a Horde mortician. Also Wrong Hordak in a previous, much darker existence, before he was reprogrammed over and over again after Hordak's exile and lost his old personality. He's either a lower-ranking Brother-Knight or belongs to the Brother-Captains, which is the tier just beneath.

For the record, there is no one who thinks Finn is ugly :D But I will expect Catra to utilize humor in her parenting style ^^

Lukas Discovers Shibari

I think he's into it. :3

Spacebat OC from Care And Habilitation of Your Ex-Horde Clone. No shibari scenes in the actual fic, but I had the excellent fortune of a trussed-up model for reference, so how could I resist?

The Horde Book of the Dead

The Horde Book of the Dead - Illustrated work, an in-universe record created by my clone OCs, Robin and Jerome in honor of fallen spacebats.  The full work (well, in-universe, selected pages, but as far as illustrations that go with my fanfiction series, the full work).   One does not need to have read my Robin and Jerome stories to understand The Horde Book of the Dead.  Two of the illustrations are independent of any fanfiction and deal with clones and Horde Prime in general.   Made up of mixed-medial illustrations and text, including a cover and a title page.   See it on Archive of Our Own:  https://archiveofourown.org/works/39103218/chapters/97821750

People of the Galactic Horde (the OGs)

Since I'm working on a Horde Prime origin story, it was inevitable that one day I would have to come up with designs for his species aka the original spacebats. And well, it was a fun challenge!

(click/tap to have a better look!) My first attempt at drawing other bats was with the High Priests of the Four Temples - the most influential and powerful people on the planet, also known as Anillis'/Prime's teachers :)

See that last guy? That's the emperor of the original Galactic Horde! Though after his unexpected early death his wife had to become the new Prime. Gladly, Horde World was not left without a future heir to the throne^^

Fun thing is, I never planned on making designs for Anillis' parents, since they never appear in the actual story + even the twins don't remember what they looked like. But idc making fanparents is fun! (In my vision Horde Prime inherited the death stare from his mother and the sly misleading smile from his father >:} )

(I talk more about the characters and worldbuliding in my fic "Violent Youth". U can find the link in my pinned post)

I also had to design tons, and I mean tons of episodic characters of all ages, genders and backgrounds. Now after all this training I'm ready to fill the backgrounds with bats :3

Some general notes on the people of the Horde under the cut

Every spacebat is born with a white face. Any deviations were rare and considered a type of skin condition

Facial markings slowly appear once baby bats hit puberty. When spacebats' white faces were seen as blank canvases, the facial markings were their life journey drawn on said canvases. The markings were seen as the real window to the soul. Having no marks as an adult was simply outlandish, people of Krytis even had a belief that such bats "had nothing behind their soul" and thus could not be trustworthy

Facial markings (as well as ears) came in many forms. In ancient times one could tell in which of the four original provinces a person was born by simply looking at their faces. Nowadays it became nearly impossible to guess someone's homeland this way (mostly everyone are people of mixed descent), but to those curious this is how bats used to distinguish one another by their markings:

North - straight lines across/all over the face (e.g. the emperor)

South - wavy lines across/all over the face e.g. (the High Priestess of the Southern temple)

West - straight minimalistic lines (e.g. horde clones)

East - wavy minimalistic lines (e.g. the empress)

Hair never held much cultural significance on Krytis, so the styling was only a question of one's personal preference and fashion trends. Some bats (mainly from the south) saw no point in having hair whatsoever - those would choose to go bald or shave parts of the head to better show off their markings

Everyone had one set of eyes. Only local deities were sometimes depicted having 3 and more eyes. And yes, their eyes and teeth do glow in the dark

I wanted to make colorful bats to futher emphasise their whimsical and peaceful nature :) Well, if u think about it many poisonous creatures are colorful too...

I wouldn't be myself if I didn't say anything about local fashion. I don't have my own concepts at hand sadly, just references, but my main inspiration for the fashion of Krytis are late 90s-early 00s futurism and cyber aesthetic. Here and there u will also see smth similar to mall goth or streetwear style, but it's mostly something what young blood were into

Some bats like the royal family and council members would wear more classy and regal clothes but still more or less modern looking. Such choice of attire was espeically important to the empress, who, unlike her late husband, stayed far away from religion and magic and made it the main goal of her campaign to weaken the influence of the religious community and push for scientific and socio-cultural progress

If you have any questions about the people of the Horde/Krytis, feel free to ask! I'm always happy to talk more about this AU!
