Description

IMPORTANT FOR CDC PRIZE: Redesign of Gessa here: fav.me/da89qf2

Life on a planet that was seeded with human life thousands of years ago can be one of blissful ignorance - having no contact with other worlds, the humans would evolve their own distinct cultures and anatomy.
One day you're just chilling and jamming out with your friends, the next a genocidal bunch of people come from the stars claiming to be the only true human race looking to reclaim their lost empire. So they set your world up for either extermination or enslavement.

Some survive however as space-faring resistance groups will assist doomed human species unable to save themselves.

This is a band of musicians, making a living playing their music in seedy spaceports, each playing an instrument from their homeworld. They like to play upbeat music to offset the grim prospect of losing one's way of life.

Gessa: from a planet of darkness. Somewhat impaired vision but acute hearing and advanced technology. Has a grim and cynical outlook on life after losing her family and homeworld. She saved the rest of them. She plays a complicated instrument called a synthwind.
Jum Jum: from a planet of dense jungle. He used to live in a tangled treetop village that resembled an oversized jungle gym. Hyperactive, mischievous, kleptomaniac. He plays something not unlike a marimba, only incredibly quickly and can make impressive arpeggios.
Dekoch: from a planet of savage warfare. He used to live in the ruin of an enormous hollowed-out battle mech. Gentle giant and philosopher, but he could rip someone's arms off if they pose a threat. He plays something like timpanis, only strapped over his shoulders.
Uchambu: from a planet of parched desert and dry grasslands. He used to live in a village carved out the side of a canyon. Stoic and quiet. He plays something like a cross between a didgeridoo and bassoon.
Walama: from a planet of warm, shallow tides and lush islands. She used to live between islands with the change of seasons. Tries to remain cheerful in spite of her situation. She plays a large harp-like thing that can be disassembled at a moments' notice.

Awesome. Do you do this as part of your work or just for fun and practice?

Fun and practice - this in particular is for a character design challenge, where I must create a new character or more every day.

I see. I do a lot of practice stuff myself, like experimenting with item and character designs, but I usually don't participate in those daily challenges.

I love how fleshed out each of their backstories are and how interconnected their universe is. And the designs themselves are all so quirky and unique! This is a really cool cast of characters Evan!
