Concept Art for "Pacifist" (Patreon)

Taws:

Taws is a happy-go-lucky human, with a giant pistol on his hip, and a white poncho flung over his shoulder. I could not get the poncho to show up, no matter what I did.

In these images, he’s a bit more broad and muscular than I imagine him (that jawline is so hard to get rid of in Midjourney) but it’s close enough. He doesn’t have earrings. I have no idea why, but it always put earrings on him.

Caly:

Caly should have short, black hair with pale, bluish skin, and two bone nubs where the horns should grow from (but never did). Her helmet is meant to fit over her whole head, hiding her face and her expression. It’s also supposed to have fake, extendable horns built in—for whenever she wants to interact with other courans.

I couldn’t get most of those details in, but I think these images capture the ornate concept of the horns, the glossy helmet, and her expression quite well.

Spirines:

Each Spirine is supposed to be several kilometers tall, with shadows visible from space, but I couldn’t get it to capture the scale of the towers. There’s no township spilling around the base, no shadows of branches spreading over the rooftops.

Still, these give a great understanding of how immense and *alien* and unique I wanted the Spirines to be. Each one grows a different way, leading many to assume each one either is born of a separate seed, or designed for a different purpose. Perhaps they’re right …

Hope you enjoyed these. I might do a few more in the future, but Midjourney is pretty limited in what it can do. It’s awesome at creating settings and interesting architecture, but I’ve found the characters really start to look the same. Maybe as I get better at prompting, it’ll yield more interesting results.
