Alien world

A blog for my alien worldbuilding projects

[bornulhu]

Some basic reference/introductory to the Koolunku world. And finally gave their planet a name and wrote down some info that had in mind for it for a while now but never really showed.

what app do you use to write about your worldbuilding

I mostly just keep it all in my mind dungeon lmao. If I do write something for some art I often just write it directly in photoshop. When I'm writing outside of that for other stuff, I just use WordPad or Google docs

[bornulhu]

I love that your snulgs look like an armless upper-half of Kermit the frog. I just love those little guys so much.

Thank you! I swear they arent muppets tho. They're just lil slug cylinders who like fruit!

Redrew one of Koolu world's older beasts

I feel really bad at how rarely I post to this account😥

Alas i felt like doodling the critters a bit. I love Korr, the giant mean bear bird beasts.

you worked on the Species mod, right?

Some of the mobs in the mod are based on my concept art, yeah. I havent done any of the modeling or programming. I did voice the Ghoul though.

Snulg duo sharing in some sweet sap. A recent downpour caused an underground plant goop reservoir to bloat and burst to the surface.

what if instead of horses we domesticated porcines... i think that could be cool

Hi! Love Your Worldbuilding, I just wanted to ask what sort of sounds snulgs (hope I'm spelling that correctly) make to communicate, as I assume they communicate through sound bc in one post you labelled their 'neck' area as a chatter box.

Thank you so muuuuch!!! Also indeed they do communicate through sound. Their voice organs are vaguely similar to those of Earthly birds. So they can create a whole range of sounds even without the use of external structures to shape the sound. When creating especially loud noises, their middle segments can vibrate or even inflate a little.

Their languages consist of chirps, hums and letters hardly to be pronounced by humans. Although if they were to meet a human, they would be able to learn our language without too much difficulty.

Veg thief!!!

Wild helgiopra sometimes get real bold and pick fights over veg that Koolu gather and farm.

Group of Snulgs

This group is searching for one of their own that seems to have gotten a little lost in these fields of wind plants. While they plan out a safe way to go about their search, big wind plants spin their leafs with force periodically, dispersing their spores into the air, which the combined gust of many spinning plants pushes on to new places.

[bornulhu]

The base of their snail-like "foot" is very flexible and prehensile, kinda like a big prehensile lip or a tentacle, together with the stickyness, they can form a little cup shape that's strong enough to hold tools and interact the world with

[xenosphere61]

Yoooooooo! Love how they have visible variation, is that a kind of pseudo fur or is it a plant? either way I love this :))

[bornulhu]

They have no fur or different kind of covering, just an sticky, amphibian-esque skin which comes in plenty of colors and patterns, mostly greens, blues and yellows. Sometimes they put a sort of temporary tattoo in shape of leaves or just straight up stick leaves and various plant fibers on themselves for individualization and accessories :3

Another of many plants snulgs cultivate to assist their survival and daily life.

[bornulhu]

On Ogninda, plants are super evolved and intricate and Snulgs being crafty and curious lil critters they are have taken advantage of that by breeding and cultivating them into new forms that benefit them in all sorts of ways, one of the obvious ones being for sustenance. All Snulg settlements have some kinds of fancy cultivated plants around that help them survive or be used as tools. Jamjuice pod is just one of them, often found in bigger settlements.

I have deep love for the cat.

comics that convey emotion and state of being with color like this are everything. So incredibly nice to see and feel
