Description
One of the four main creatures in and my's dream video game project. A lifelong goal, if you will. This is simply a preliminary drawing, and the shading was rather half-assed... But I like the glowy effect. This Fedan is growing out of the ground.

A little background:

Fedan's are a frail, physically weak race who live in dirty, quickly-built industrial societies. They have translucent skin and feed by placing plants on their skin, absorbing the nutrients. Almost parasitic in nature, they would build in one area until all the environment was destroyed, then moved on.

One day, they accidently stumbled upon an area that would evolve with their entrepreneurial urges; the plants wrapping around their dirty, pollution-belching industries, becoming a part of the buildings themselves!

This twisted adaptation of nature and machine gave the Fedans countless technological possibilities. All of their technology could now have a natural power supply, and the plants would take care of all maintenance issues! Later, seeds were also discovered that took advantage of the Fedan's absorbent nature. By putting a seed in their chest, a powerful body suit sprouted from their skins: increasing their dexterity, power, and speed tenfold. However, the benefits didn't stop there. The suit constantly "fed" the Fedan's through the process of photosynthesis, and even mended any wounds they would obtain almost instantaneously!

The Fedan leaders took note of the superior advantages to a Fedan donning the seed, and quickly seized control of them-preventing the average citizen access... That is, unless they joined the Fedan army. This vastly expanded the number of troops at their disposal. Since the Fedans were no longer migrating, the city became engulfed in a blanket of pollution. Once so much of this smog was absorbed through a Fedan's skin, it would make them quite ill, and the only "natural" cure would be taking advantage of the seeds adaptive nature. Joining the army was the only way for many Fedan’s to be cured, or have a chance at a life outside of the slums…

Well, that just about scratches the surface, anyways. XD
