#bright shadows

[gltzgghln]

hello. I've been filling my assigned sketchbook with bright shadows development!

First pic is me playing around with the design of an earlier character named Kulakesa (previously "Kulagrester"), a Hancock's flatworm alien from kulupu telo who is married to a mayor. Because most of the people on Chonar have wings as their middle pair of limbs, I came up with a design of Kulakesa having big winglike fins for swimming. His flappy carpet body made the final cut however

the beaked critter swimming above is something i originally designed when i was in high school called a seagle. like sea eagle. not very original but they're marine snails filling the niches of different birds. not every snail in kulupu telo fills a bird niche however

flora and fungus in kulupu telo are taken up by different types of algae and sessile fauna. caulerpa-like grasses, oomycete toadstools, bryozoa bushes, and grape vine-shaped kelp. a weed resembling the mermaid's wineglass was cultivated and bred to be used as Actual wineglasses. the toadstools are safe to eat and frequently foraged for!

a new idea i had for kulupu telo at one point was like. Giant diatom biomes. like super shiny glossy beaches full of huge algal forests covered in glass. the sand and big diatoms are harvested for food, plankton, and glass

third picture is of some kulupu telo civilians building a house, alongside roughs of how tall buildings would look in kulupu telo. my original idea for an underwater world on chonar was for the buildings to be these tall pillars on top of each other that you could just swim through. I think I was inspired by... southside reef from shark tale. kulupu telo is now on the back of a continent-sized sea monster, so i switched it to amorphous houses made of mucus, sand, algae, bones, shells, etc all tightly packed so they can withstand the currents of the sea and little movements of soweli ma (the sea monster they live on top of)

not every house on kulupu telo contains these exact materials, and sometimes the use of these materials depends on cultural significance of the building. kulupu telo architecture is still wip wip wip wip wip

sessile invertebrates fill the niche of trees. the "fruit" on the worm trees are its eggs. They're based on earthworm egg cocoons and feel/taste like silkworm pupae. sometimes they're cracked open for the stuff inside like a bird egg and sometimes the whole thing is cooked like a legume. sea lily and anemone-like organisms act like BIIIGGG flowers that get both energy from food and the sun! i imagine if the big sea lilies were all in a field they would sometimes get up n migrate to spots where there r more critters to eat. ppl who want these as houseplants simply put them on a rock near a window and the lily and/or anemone can take in light and act as pest control

some species i designed based on lost episode creepypastas and other things I fixate on

nectarinae is a subfamily of terrestrial, eusocial mehdepulan sponges. they are found in moist, humid regions with lots of trees to stay moist. nectarine soldiers are neotonic, free-living organisms that take pollen, nectar, and juice from the plants in their habitat and bring them back to their queen, which is colonial and sessile. nectarine soldiers give nectar and pollen back to the queen and keep some in themselves. a healthy supply of nectar keeps the colonial queen healthy and consistently fertile to produce more soldiers

when soldier nectarines r threatened, they can concentrate the water in their surroundings or stomachs and shoot them out at a predator. one water shot from a nectarine can shatter bone. nectarines use magic to absorb as much water into their bodies as possible to shoot out again without dying or using up all the water around their hive

atmi, singular "atmus", are beasts from mehdepulah. they are essentially giant hooved rats. they live in the forests and eat mainly fruits and bugs. the atmus secretes magic oil from their thick skin that can induce frightening hallucinations and illusions to predators and foes. the magic in their secretions comes from the fruit they eat, which are similar to jackfruits and durians. atmi have wings for mating and threat displays, but can fly a short distance close to the ground

common atmi produce nightmare-like hallucinations. the icky-tongued atmus produces fever dream, psychedelic hallucinations

the bootpawed atmus is a species in a commensalistic relationship with the bootpawed nectarine. these nectarines use a paralyzing magic when they spit water. bootpawed nectarines produce a waxy, fatty, bitter honey. they are farmed for this nectar which can be turned into soap

bootpawed atmi can get the soap on their own by eating the nectarines. the atmus uses its fur, wings, and hallucinogenic magic to draw nectarines away from their queen and lap them up. this does not harm the nectarine colony, as the queen can produce more soldiers and helpers

their "antlers" are usually used in fights for mating, but pores close to the stem of the "antlers" secrete a mixture of hallucinogenic oil and nectarine wax that is specifically used in scentmarking

bootpawed atmi have been used in carrying wagons, carriages, and soap production in mehdepulah for millennia

Must Rosa is the name of the man on the back of the atmus. he is a very VERY old character who's role in the world of chonar and story of bright shadows is still being worked on

"Again," Wylan said, and when Jesper opened his mouth to take another breath, Wylan leaned forward and kissed him.
