I\u2019m starting to work out the specific physiology of the Crescent symbiont in the Crescent\/Frond symbiote project that I\u2019m doing for Almost Real<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its gills look like eyes, its eyes look like mouths, its mouth looks like genitals, and its genitals are in its gills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I could draw whale skin texture all day.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve only got one spread in the magazine, I think, so some of my material might not make it in. I\u2019ve starting thinking about what Crescent fry look and work like before they\u2019re big enough that swap gills, for instance. And I\u2019ve got a really creepy image in mind of a Crescent just having captured its prey, but I don\u2019t know if they\u2019ll fit. I\u2019m sure I\u2019m not the only artist whose critters are exceeding the one-spread page limit, so I don\u2019t want to hog pages. But I really<\/em> like drawing these weirdos. They\u2019re giving me more learning opportunities to learn how to draw water, not to mention my favorite weird, foldy skin textures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modular systems are a function of industrial society. But do people of The Fifth World still know how to agree to standards? With their acute interest in efficiency, I think they might have carried that lesson forward!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
