Reference Sheets

« prev 27 in pool next »

I actually have another biomechanical/android space species beside the ensafirs, but this species has no finalised name yet. This character you might remember, Vektor, is one individual from that species. I came up with this species way before the ensafirs, but somehow I could make a lot more progress with the ensafirs than with this species.

I’ve been holding back sharing this reference sheet for a long time now, but I thought I’d share it because I have no idea if it will ever be fully finished. I want to improve and tweak many things, for example Vektor's personality isn't even properly figured out yet. And I don't even know how they dress… But there are a handful of things in this sketchy refsheet that won't be changed in the future when I'll try to go on with this species and with Vektor.

Here's a little info about the species: They have a "caste” called the "creators”. These people modify, enhance and improve their species for hundreds of years. Part of their story would be about if these modifications helped or spoiled their species.

As you can see, this species could use a lot more work in the future… But I just knew I will never continue this specific refsheet, so I thought I share it with a few thoughts. Anyway, I hope you like it!

I love the design and concept of this.
Is there a practical purpose for the heart removal?
Can they be swapped?
And sorry for asking so many questions, but... are there females of this?

@ ThaPig

It's okay, I like questions! :D I'm happy you interested in my species and their design. And because this refsheet just a snippet of my ideas, and the story is still non existent there's no spoilers I want to quite about. I'm gladly answer your questions. In this case, you guys can give me ideas with your questions how to shapes this particular species.

They can swap their hearts, moreover, they can swap their other internal organs. And anyone can donate to another because there are no blood types either. Plus, if someone dies, there’s still plenty of time for their organs to possibly be utilized.(since they are largely synthetic creatures, cells die much more slowly.) And there would be a way for them to open the inside of their bodies without the need for scalpels and surgery.

Sadly I haven’t figured out yet why it’s so important that they can take their hearts out. I only figured out small, vague things. Even though I point to it as quite important thing, there's not much I can say about it. For example, it amplifies some of their abilities. They can create a larger magnetic shield, they will have higher energy emissions and a larger radius. It also acts as a kind of built-in scanner that thoroughly examines the environment or other creatures body. I'm still unsure how these should work or these ideas would be good enough. I don't deny I just liked the idea they can take out their heart as a design. And I need time and other ideas to really make it sense. :DDD

And to answer your last quastion: There're females in their species. And the difference between the two sexes is exactly the same as in humans. Waist width, breasts, ect. But they have no reproductive systems, so the breasts are more like remains of their evolution.

Interesting!
Maybe swapping hearts could be a symbolic gesture of love or friendship between two individuals?

@ ThaPig

Totally!! Although I think there would be some limitations about the exchanges, (It should fit to their physique. For example a bigger fellow shouldn't get a smaller heart, and vica versa. Except if there's no other choice. Like in a battlefield and such.) But the swapping would actually be possible between two individuals, and the most respected gesture.

Your biomechanoids make me wonder...have you ever seen the Esspererin from Schlock Mercenary? Little biomechanical insectoids described as "solar-powered robo-fairies"...
