Hmm. Getting rid of the mouth entirely sounds good to me.

I would also reconsider their method of movement. Just a normal bipedal gait seems wrong for Umbrals.

This is useful feedback and I'm probably going to end up using these guys in a different project now.

But the comments raised are exactly why I wanted to do a redesign. The umbrals were never meant to be metaphysical creatures. In fact that makes the least sense for them out of the three (four if you count the craftkind) races of Ter. They're the antimagic creatures! If any creatures were meant to have the most substance to them it was them, and I was never happy with the unexplained floatiness or apparent counter nature to magic when they were on surface inspection the most innately magical creature going. They're a mortal species! Without even any innate magical power, or at least that was the intention before I made a pretzel-shish-kebab out of Resonance's continuity.

I wanted to make them more grounded and then this lead to me thinking in very literal terms about basically being in contact with the ground.

The impact to otherness is significant, though, as (and this information no longer has any bearing with my impulsive decision to break them away from being "Resonance umbrals" to just "happen to be called umbrals") in the reboot setting they'd be the only significant species not to originate from the same world as the others. One thing I'm taking with them to whatever I use them in is, rather than hovering all the time, a strange unique buoyancy to the way they move. Gravity seeming to be about a tenth of the scale for them as for any other physical object in the world. So while they can't hover indefinitely, they can just hang in the air for an unnerving duration or just jump over a wall that might be an effective barrier to anyone else. And that would be their only real useful paranormal attribute, save for the terrible vulnerability to fire.

I coulda sworn I drew more umbrals with cat faces. I checked all my images and only found a few but it was so lodged in my mind that they had cat faces that only appeared whenever mouths were open. Where the hell did I get that idea from?? All I know is if I'd drawn the mouth open, the reboot design has a mouth full of jagged pointy teeth they get as they mature.

See attached picture which I'm sure will be totally uncontroversial in every way.

I think it looks super neat as a general design, although I'll continue to say that the one without the breasts looks a good deal better. Also I can't explain why but I thought they had cat faces too. That's kind of strange.

Now consider what happens to tits in 1/10th of the gravity they were made for.

Regarding the apparent epidemic of sticking tits on things that shouldn't have them, have a rejected design for D-SYN-106743, the protagonist of my latest quest, Catalysis. (For those of you following Reformation, it'll resume once Catalysis finishes or dies a long, drawn out death, much like D-SYN-106743.)

The quest was originally going to be entirely five shades of orange forever. Then I drew the first update and this and realised I'd never have enough shades of orange. Orange you glad I didn't use only orange? You're probably not glad I used that pun, that's for sure.

Crotch line probably still totally canon.

>>21887
Black and white along with shades of orange for stuff that needs color would've worked.

It would've been ripping off SotW then though.

>>21887
I have to say I'm impressed that you're actually drawing humans, it's been a while since you tried that.

>>21887
I agree, five shades of orange is not enough, sometimes you need green oranges and blue oranges, and stuff.
It would totally work with some finagling though!

In the far future, the free automata have redesigned themselves to be almost indistinguishable from their TerraTrans produced ancestors.

Biological style reproduction requires intricate complex miniaturisation to be feasible for any smaller scale automata. Possession of such a system implies a position in life with little risk and access to a wealth of resources to allow for the continuous microscale construction of new automata. The parent automata's beliefs and ideologies form a base for the new automata's pattern, as well as any contributed data from other automata. Any automata with such a system is a powerful and prestigious individual, and would likely take steps to exhibit said system to inspire respect and preferential treatment in their fellow automata.

While the exhibition of a reproductive system may result in favourable responses from their fellow automata, it tends to result in the exact opposite reaction from human contacts. Automata with such features have learned the value of wearing pants in polite conversation with human ambassadors.

in today's news some people learn that giving me carte blanche to draw whatever is a mistake

>>22407
If it was a mistake for them then one must wonder what their intent was...

Also the way she is gripping that inhaler pipe... I suppose kulukuzus don't really have flexible enough lips to from a good seal?

not really also it's less an inhaler tube and more a deceptively small liquid container probably filled with some sort of combined developmental accelerator and fecundity enhancer to allow for impregnation right after she's already given birth or something

really a lot of the stuff I seem to draw recently is too offensive, gross or both to reasonably justify posting on draw I mean no one wants to see that kulukuzu giving birth with a crowd around her with weird alien medical equipment but that's exactly the fucking weird kind of gross offensive shit I wouldn't post to the thread

>>22413
So I take it you've never been to /draw/ before.

>>22415
I don't remember seeing anything like what I described

No one wants to see anything like I described, ever, so it'll stay out of this thread

>>22416
at least I'm pretty sure no one wants to see that am I right here I don't know anymore people keep telling me I'm not drawing terrible things and I keep not believing them I don't know what's right or what's wrong anymore

>>22426
Well you're right that most people don't really want to see actual childbirth. Pregnant ladies aren't bad though.

hang in there man, it'll be over eventually and then you can relax for a bit. Also don't worry about names, coming up with good names is hard.

Keynain don't tend to be seen outside their armour in public, but some keynain might, in private quarters, play around with more esoteric features of their personal suit.

I was inspired by Drgons' pokemon god-botherers to draw a Xatu follower of Dialga and then it got all Kingdom Hearts reject and fuck it's bad.

However I've been dead for almost a full year here so we take what we can get, even if it's something drawn on an iPad and so all previous art skills learned are all totally for naught.
