I Have Two More Of The Alien Crew Designed On Paper So I Just Need To Make A Reference Sheet - Blog Posts

Reference sheet for Y. Just wanted to get the basics of xyr race and some different perspectives. Xe are also just fun to draw.

Some over explaining under the cut because I cannot shut up about these guys.

Since Y is based of insects, mostly ants, I kind of made xem segmented. One of the things about Xyr race is that the queen has something similar to telepathy, and when Y was part of the colony xe didn't have a lot of free will, instead relying on the queen to tell xem exactly what to do. So when xe break free from that and leave the home world, xe have a lot of issues figuring out how to function again.

The bottom left are just some examples of background characters or other people from Y’s world. Basically Y’s race has a lot of diversity between body shapes and how they style their hair etc, but they cant change their clothes or mark their skin since that's what marks them as from the queen. Y does this once xe leave the colony, since xe no longer have a connection to xyr queen, and cant be considered a member of the home planet anymore.

For Y’s race the only thing they can think of under the queens control is the queen and their assigned work, their whole life is dedicated to the survival of the colony. When Y eventually goes missing, the remaining people have their memory wiped so Y never existed in the first place, rather than lose productivity by grieving.
