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

your work got a whole new air to it now(beautiful melancholic <3).to think about these as "hatched from eggs and petrified or they are undeveloped/abandoned fetuses",n that these small beings "fit in the palm of your hand" just got my heart to jump.,my throat to choke up on tears.n i think about some of them critters that i'm feeling alot more for(favs, you might say)n what to/have become of them. your work is truly inspiring n amazingly interesting. you are a wonderful creator of a rightfully called myserious world n a equally wonderful storyteller. thank you so much for this journey,n please let there be alot more to come~!
I heartily approve of specimen #32! It is well drawn, and I'm looking forward to more--and, in spite of your "writer's block," it seems to me you are doing very well!
Thank you! Both of you, for your wonderful words of encouragement! There will definitely be more to come! :D
