I received a wonderful comment on one of my drawings (from my fellow blogger, drend) and it made me think about these creature a little more. I don't have more of the story, but I do have a better description of what I imagined these specimens to be.
These creatures are rather small, they fit in the palm of your hand. I always did imagine them as abandoned 'babies,' they're the young versions of grown creatures (as seen in many a video game or sci-fi movie), before they lost their innocence, before they became ...evil. They are either hatched from eggs and petrified or they are undeveloped/abandoned fetuses. There are a few specimens that are meant to be flora (and are rightfully named so). They grow where these creatures were found.
Well, I hope more to come soon.... I have to create a storyboard for one of my applications. Have been slacking off on that one. Well, not really, I've been thinking about it for months, but I 've just had horrible writer's block. I come up with plenty of ideas, but I just don't like any of them.
Anyway, here's specimen #32
