Y'all can have some unreleased Chenesht outfits. As a treat. [Nhâchchech, Chlâsle, Lhbore, Fenhêalch, Ôernh.]

This was intended to be a full series but I never finished it.

Hello husband!!! I'm back!!

Some cool tiled backgrounds (and single tile) I made for My Webbed Site. Unfortunately these aren't visible unless you go look at the desktop version specifically due to the way my site's mobile format is laid out.

I wanted a design that had all my nonhuman sophonts in the background! Not necessarily to scale.

[translunaryanimus]

HE'S BAAAAAAAAACKKKKK!!!! 😭

[translunaryanimus]

I'M BACK!!!

As some of you may or may not have noticed my blog fully disappeared for a solid 4 days!! This is because tumblr hit me with their evil spells and I got nuked, but i'm back!!! Posting to resume as normal.

[translunaryanimus]

Subterranean dudes I nailed the design of basically first try.

I've been sloooowly working my way through getting all the aliens I want to be in Sacred Estuaries up and off the ground and FINALLY got around to designing the last guys I wanted (at least for now). Now I can make ref sheets yayayayay.

Meet the Whillos. The newest sophonts to be discovered in-universe. So new in fact they haven't actually been discovered in the main story.

Also surprise! There's a main story! I haven't talked about it much because it's still in the early planning stages but there's a Story with a Plot that takes place in this universe. I want to eventually make it a comic but I know this is a very long endeavor and I'm going to have to build up both my stamina and comic making skills before I can dive headfirst into what I KNOW is going to be a multi-year project.

With finals ending you can expect a lot more updates coming soon. Hopefully very soon :]

What food from each sophont's respective planet/culture would be generally well liked

Within Sacred Estuaries food is generally not cross-sophont compatible for a whole host of reasons. Primarily that basically all our molecules are fundamentally different which makes actually consuming foods from another sophont's planet undigestible at best and lethal at worst.

Approximations are fairly common in social settings though, such as the chenesht and human heavy mars colonies. One such dish is Llâwhnh mâras Fôlachemhêsh (Skyfish in Bloodroot), who's closest human approximation is 涼拌海蜇 (Liángbàn hǎizhē) aka Cold Jellyfish Salad. Llâwhnh mâras Fôlachemhêsh is served in a cold, vinegary 'tea' made from Fôlachemhêsh (Bloodroot, named for its vibrant blue color when steeped which resembles Chenesht blood) and fermented "fish". It's also commonly served with thinly sliced pickled seagrass.

It's a little more difficult to approximate Bonkey and Beastbird cuisine for other sophonts given they primarily consume raw meat, raw insects, or toxic metals, so the closest one typically gets is sashimi, tartare, or another regulated safe method of raw meat consumption.

Dragons eat a pounded root vegetable called "mk'kmk'k" (named for the sound pounding it makes) with spiced and sauced plant protein skewers called "kx'kwï" (named after the protein itself) which ends up as similar result to having fufu alongside pork satay. There is a very popular nigerian/thai fusion restaurant that is also dragon friendly that's managed to stick around on a jovian jump-gate docking station for about 15 years for this exact reason. Great service and attracts a lot of space-faring guests, many of which are dragons.

I love that some sophonts find us fascinating because I love sophonts and I find them fascinating too

mutual fascination :3

We’re all just like “hey look at these neat little fuckers aren’t they cool” hell yeah brother those little fuckers are cool

(Out of universe talking about them like they are real I love your alien designs!! They are freind shaped :] )

The mutual fascination between sophonts is definitely one of the coolest aspects about living in a pan-sophont environment. Humans are definitely interesting little guys, y'alls teeth are way too flat for your pursuit predator looking build. I mean? Two legs? Long gait? Exceptional balance? That's a persistance hunter build if I've ever seen one.

[translunaryanimus]

Do the other sophonts find humans strange because of how bald we are? so little integument on us lol

The only ones that don't are Chenesht given they have similar hair coverage as adults as most humans do! Even then, similar =/= same and their hair coverage is more equivalent to fullbody peach fuzz than human hair.

The others though? They definitely find the hairlessness of humans to be a little offputting, or fascinating, depending on who you talk to.
