Extremely high effort Lilin revamp in the style of a scientific illustration. It doesn't show, but there's only three layers for the colors outside of black. One blue, one yellow, and one red like an actual lithographic print. On a scale from 1-10 I’d say that this is about a 2 for the likelihood that I’ll ever color like this again outside of maybe commission work. It was hardddddd. (see video below)

Although she's heavily inspired by sea slugs and copopods (among other aquatic, "squish" invertabrates as I call them), she's not supposed to be one specifically. Just a fictional brain parasite. I toned down her brain color from what real sea slugs apparently have. A cheeto-dust orange.

Lines done in toonboom with colors done in sai cause I have a weird process

She severs the corpus callosum (either as the species grows into maturity or by manually doing so with their soon to be prior host), takes residency in the lateral ventricle to feed upon fresh cerebrospinal fluid, and acts like an enhanced corpus callosum replacement while also being an overriding, primary brain to the host’s body. As much as she wants to be herself, she’ll always have a ghost in the machine with her. Her current host’s old experiences, knowledge, ticks, habbits, self, etc influencing her current personality. She’s just a small, core brain in comparison and relies on the host’s brain constantly.

There's a lot more that I can say about what's changed since her original design biology wise. How she now filter feeds with with something between what sea cucumbers have for filter feeding and the proboscus shape of "Gorgonorhynchus repens" ribbon worms. Her modified cnidosacs taking the place of her prior "transmitters" in purpose. Oh yeah, instead of coming through an eye she goes through the top of the skull. Its a change I made a while ago (See whenever her head started having flesh sloughed off to make her mask though that is a purely cosmetic decision on her part. She choses that)

T. Minyano’s lithographic print illustrations c. 1920 of the Battle of Yangxia, the decisive conflict of the Xinhai Revolution, October to December 1911. These are not organized chronologically, but the date of events will be noted - also, Minyano’s depictions are somewhat exaggerated and fictionalized to fit the already heroized subject matter.

1) The Revolution Army in Middle China. The March of the Revolutionary Army on Wuhan, shortly after October 10, 1911. Li Yuanhong and Sun Yat-sen are depicted in the left and right rondels, respectively. Wellcome Images, L0040008. 

2) The revolutionary army, on a hill (left), ambushes part of the imperial army (right) as the latter approaches a city flying the republican flag. This might be depicting the start of the second Qing attempt to retake Hankou on October 27, 1911. Wellcome Images, L0040010.

3) The Revolution War in China, the same battle outside Hankou from the 24th to the 27th of 1911, but viewed from the imperial side. Wellcome Images, L0040020.

4) This depicts the battle on the afternoon of October 18, 1911, when the revolutionaries, having failed to capture the railway station at Liujiamiao that morning, regrouped and, with the help of railway workers, ambushed a train carrying Qing troops heading south. The train derailed and sent the Qing troops fleeing, and more than 400 were killed by revolutionaries. Wellcome Images, L0040003.

5) This depicts the battles between imperial and revolutionary troops for possession of Liujiamiao, between the 25 and 27 of October, 1911. Wellcome Images, L0040013.

6) A depiction of the failed revolutionary attack on Wushengguan further north of Hankou, October 21-22, 1911. Wellcome Images, L0040011.

7) The Revolutionary Army in Middle China. The brutal hand to hand fighting during the successful imperial recapture of Hankou between October 27 and November 1 that burned significant swathes of the city and nearly destroyed the revolutionary armies. Wellcome Images, L0040012.
