Artist's Comments

Here is the 1st character species for my sci-fi project entitled Symbiosis.

1st Charater Species - Zaz (The tree dwellers.)
Habitat - Temperate to tropical forest.
Life Cycle - As a nymph it fuses to one of the last species of tree's seed, once fused the tree starts to grow and the nymph seeks out an appropriate home for both. The tree will be in the comming time it's shelter, mutualistic symbiant [ [link] ], and purpose for being. Once the tree is established the zaz defendes the tree with it's life, kills and consumes predators of the plant, feeds the plant, and clears away competing foliage. Although the zaz is initially fused to the tree, once it as well as the tree reaches a significant enough size, it seals it's self inside the tree, there it metamorphs into a fertile adult and breaks free. Once free it still retains the ability to symbiotically fuse with the tree, but it's purpose switches from defender to pack hunter and gatherer for the purpose of it's "hive". A zaz "hive" can grow extemely large given it's not destroyed by competion from such life forms as large Ohms or Lichen trees. The tree is a highly evolved colonizing fern that can hold up to 6 zaz, depending upon size and health.
Size Length - (2 cm - 20 m)

I'm getting there, but I commonly have multiple projects going at the same time, like right now I'm also making a model of there home planet to use as a reference in the future so it doesnt always look different whenever I draw it, also so I can write up a geology, habitat range, and points of interest. I've also got some color work I promised a while back for someone's line work, also I'm doing some experimenting with a pseudo fractal style of abstract art... [:work: :faint: :zombie: lol]
