Description Cleesa, as she is known, is the Xain adviser to Midden's Advanced Biological Surveying Team, and accompanies them to most of the planets they survey for habitation. There are many “habitable” worlds within close proximity to the Midden System, but most do not pass Cleesa’s inspections. She can detect even the slightest chemical imperfection in an atmosphere or water source, something that would pass on a chemical analysis test, but might prove detrimental to health over an elongated period of time. Her olfactory receptors are over 200% more sensitive than the leading mechanical ones, so she has become an invaluable part of every expedition. Planets that do not meet Cleesa’s standards are often terraformed, or become resource planets or sealed military bases.

Cleesa generally will describe a planet as “good smelling” or “bad smelling”, there are some she needs only to spend a moment or so on the surface on to know weather it can be safely colonized or not. Being a Xain, and dealing with their abstract concept of property, she is usually paid in fruit or things that make noise when she bangs them together.

“I swear guys! It was like, this big!”

Oh yeah, this entire drawing was done in MSPaint.

All in MS Paint? With a tablet, right?

Yup. It's mad fast, since paint doesn't take up any processor power, I can have the drawing up on one screen, and a movie playing on the other.

Dang it, I don't have a tablet. I really wish I had money...and didn't wanna spend it almost immediately...I need help saving money more than like a month or even a year.

You have no idea how much I want to see this one colored. I love the ring and her tunic, the way her arms work, and the sheer adorable personality in that pose. Very nice.

Thank you very much!
I'm sure I'll get around to coloring her, but right now I have another picture of her in the works.

Of all the creatures you've come up with, this has to be the pick of the bunch. In a way, she looks rather adorable with a very intresting talent.

And can I say, I salute you, for making such an awesome use of MS Paint - not so useless to those who know how to use it!

I've been sketching with paint quite a bit as of late, if you're online at all, I could share some of my sketches with you.

Ooh, wow! That sounds kinda cool. Thank you. Be better if we could do so through say MSN or GMail or something. Note me 'bout it if you're intrested.

Eye see you. ^^

I like it. But I think that what really brings your art to life is the stories behind the characters. So kudos on the great imagination.

*fave*

Ja, and thank you!
I would have had a longer story here, but I was listening to some new music, and it was distracting.

Anyone who can do anyone in MS paint and not make it look like pixelated feces is an absolute genius. Even on the full view it looks hand drawn.
