@cooperationiskey has this adorable little thing called Teeny Towers where you can make and collect little rooms for a tower you can put on your site. I always thought it was such a cute idea so I finally sat down and made some rooms! I need to actually set up a page for my tower still...

Spent the weekend drawing these. They're done with color pencils and ink.

Commission for :iconFinalGamer: · - · -  · - · - · - · - · - · - · - · - · As part of the backlog, here's a piece I did back when I first moved to Scotland. Apparently this is a Star Control II piece, and as I am unfamiliar with the franchise it's probably not accurate. I went a bit too far with the textures in this one, I have to admit. And the lens flares, woof. J.J. Abrams guest directed this piece. Please, let me know what you think of it in the comments. I appreciate every single one I receive. You can check the Making Of post right here.
Thank you!

Several decades of Space Games later and nothing really touches the unhinged delirium of meeting other species in Star Control II. I cannot fully express how wild of an experience it is to go from chill space adventuring to hearing voice acting and a soundtrack that's equal shitpost and the entire 80s distilled in sonic form

"Ah, yes. "Freedom." We have dismissed such claims."
The Ur-Quan Kzer-Za are the main foes of the 16-bit era games Star Control 1&2 and are one of my favorite alien villains of all time: an alien race scouring the galaxy for other sentient species and putting to them a choice: you will submit and serve the Ur-Quan's hierarchy of battle thralls, or you will be imprisoned upon your homeworld beneath a slave shield, forever. There is no third option. Arrogant and unyielding, the Ur-Quan Kzer-Za see themselves as galactic stewards, driven to extremes by a secret racial trauma from ages past.
Star Control was a major influence on the Mass Effect trilogy and the setting's infamous Reapers. As such I thought it would be fun to backport one of Mass Effect's storytelling quirks of alien races picking up the human habit of "airquotes" to indicate sarcasm.
A great thanks to lemonn leaf for taking up such an unusual commission and helping me realize a longstanding silly idea of mine!

A fashion statement like "Under no circumstances should you attempt to harm me, because I am Extremely Toxic and any contact will cause all of your organs to fail immediately and catastrophically."

I finally came up with a name and (some)lore for this fan species. Meet the Isel(pron. ee-sell), a benevolent race of environmentally stoic creatures who wish for nothing more than peace among the universe. Although their bodies can withstand extreme heat, their preferred temperatures are extreme cold, hence their chilly ships. They live under great fear of conflict, but it doesn't mean they are not prepared for conflict should any arise!
Their ships, the Isel Glacier, come with a sharp-tipped missile, as well as a Subzero Blaster that temporarily freezes their opponents' batteries.
Not all Isel are blue like this one(whose name is Admiral Sapphire), their bodily colors can vary like crystals. And their names are based on ores or minerals.
Original Isel sketch under the cut!

I don't think anyone has come up with a fan race that has subzero weaponry, let alone a way to temporarily stop ship batteries from charging!
