Description This fella is based on an old species of mine called Nuva'zack. In their own language the name would mean "Eheän syöjät", which roughly translates to something like "The eaters of the unbroken/wholeness".
Any Finnish people who can come up with a better translation, feel free to comment xD



I've missed these guys and the story they are in. I should get back to writing it again some day.
Also the overall look for this creature was inspired of a mandarinfish

Hyvä asento ja rajaus. Ensimmäisenä tuli mieleen huumekala.

Oh, I wonder why it didn't allow you to comment. I think the setting for the stream at least should be in a way that anyone can join in the chat.

Thanks for the compliments though ^^

SO MUCH COLOR!
It's so beautiful!
I love the blurred flicks of blue around it. That yellow and different shades of blue...  
You and your stories! There must be so many of them. I thought these were sorta just...'one offs'. Ya know, you have a concept of an idea and you just write it down (in art), but whooaaa! I didn't know you had a whole other story up your sleeve.
The plot thickens again!

OrangeSavannah In reply to TripleJaysArt [2017-02-07 19:50:04 +0000 UTC]

Yes! I've been drawing dark and depressing stuff (except the recent evoloons) ever since the goretober so it's about time for something else! xD

And oh boi, you don't even know how many there are.
The Nuva'zack are a part of a world which has 6 more other intelligent races. (Hortix, Shargran, Tankathri, Ortrun, Alastair, Rwaddi)
I have planned to write about... 10 different stories relating to this world. All of them are going to be more or less separate stories, from different time periods (a few from a Medieval age and the others from a more technologically advanced setting). What binds all these stories together is that they slowly reveal new secrets about the world the races live in

Since well, these species live on moons which circle around this huge planet called "Alku" (="The beginning"). No one really knows what's on Alku before people invent spaceships to have a look ;D
So in the first Medieval stories we basically only get to know about this planet through different religions and believes but later on people will also go on the surface.

Ahem excuse me, I got a little excited with that xDD

The evoloons are the only spot of light in the dark void that is your gallery.


That sounds so cool! Where on earth do you come up with all these names for things? They just flow off the tongue like magic, I love it.
Now I really wish there were more Oranges. Then you could pick an Orange for each series/job, and get so much stuff done.
You should definitely find the time to write them out. I would certainly read them. The idea of the story being told through different viewpoints, times, and perspectives is interesting.
I just assumed the few art pieces were part of Step Aside, but on closer inspection, they do look different.
You must do this!

Totally understand. I get excited over awesome things too.

OrangeSavannah In reply to TripleJaysArt [2017-02-19 16:33:48 +0000 UTC]

Haha indeed they are xD

Honestly, I don't know. Good names take me weeks to figure out. I usually save a bunch of lists with names I have randomly gathered up/invented over time and whenever I need to name something I look up these lists.
Yeah I wish that too. Sad thing is that most of the texts I already have written are only in Finnish so I would need to translate a lot before I could keep writing forward.
 But I think I'll keep working on the slowly

Oh... So beautiful... So colourful too, it makes me think about Fanelia-Art 's.

But oh well, mandarinfishes are always as colourful as that.

OrangeSavannah In reply to Aeghiss [2017-02-07 16:39:28 +0000 UTC]

Huh, I can see them using a lot of colors there, which I tend to do a lot more rarely. And you are right about the mandarinfishes.
Thank you ^^

Yes, she has quite a colourful style... That's why this drawing made me think about her.

My gosh this is so beautiful! The colours and just the over all creature is so majestic, I just saw this now and I'll just let you know... Please do more about this species!
They are beautiful and look magnificent, I wanna know more about these guys! >v<

Amazing work, it's so beautiful!

OrangeSavannah In reply to MASTER-K0HGA [2017-02-07 16:35:58 +0000 UTC]

That's actually a good idea. I kinda like the thought of just looking up fun patterns from real fish and then drawing my creatures based on them.
Could really be a fun little series ^^

I'll certainly keep adding more info on them when I get to draw them more ;D

MASTER-K0HGA In reply to OrangeSavannah [2017-02-07 23:57:43 +0000 UTC]

Ahh that'll be amazing, I'd love to see more! Especially with such majestic designs!
It'll surely be so much fun! ^-^

And yay! Looking forward to it!
