Finishing up a new little book with a friend gathering all our explorations of the microscopic world along our local river here in Tokyo. Here are some tiny crustaceans, but will share more soon!

reminder that every extraterrestrial creature depicted in fiction looks genuinely less alien than most of the living things on earth

Alach

Alach has no real model to reference, and the shader used on them is particularly strange, but I think I got the vibe the best I could through my Blender recreation. Lucid Blocks uses procedural animation for a couple mobs that is really quite something special, and the vibes you get off these things is incredible and scary as hell. The dev is looking to include an arachnophobia mode soon, which might make them even more abstract...

Did I ever show you the stitched diatom I made?
