Description
Here, have a panel from a scene that doesn’t exist.This is a Godmind, one of the principal denizens of my headworld. There are five of them, and they are supremely curious, immensely powerful, and often ruthless biomechanical beings. This particular one (Known as “Fifth” until I start working out names) is the most likely to talk to you rather than dissect you.
I'm going to try to upload more of my headworld stuff here. As of now, most is on tumblr, and that itself isn't much.

Am I the only one getting star trek vibes from this? It reminds me of the various machine-gods Kirk kept encountering and talking into committing suicide if TOS had possessed the budget and technologies for actual special effects. I could totally picture this as Vaal instead of a decapitated papier-mache dinosaur.
Also I'm vaguely reminded of Hullabaleur's Stargazer .

"supremely curious" Awesome. Very cool design and headworld info. Wonderful, lovely work, in a dark and terrifying way!

Godmind: Our purpose... is to know.
Me: FUCK YOU KNOW ABOUT MY FETISHES!!!!
Godmind: Yes. LOLOLOLOOOOOOOOL!!!!

Fifth could beat a Reaper into submission with its mind alone, haha

Really cool concept for sorta of a deity. You should work it out!

Thank you! They're actually rather well fleshed out, but more in writing than anything. There will be more art of them eventually.

I'll stay tuned for em!

Man, I need to make them less like Reapers. I guess they do look very similar :/
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Maybe a little bit... They're both large beings that remind me strongly of spiders. :\

Yeah, I wanted to make them rather insect-like. They're more organic than Reapers, though. They're made of ceramic and chitin rather than metal. I'm thinking maybe strong metals (such as iron) are rare and hard to obtain at their homeworld.

Ooh, that's a good way to differentiate!

nice o: your headworld stuff is awesome. Were you going to comic it or something? I might have asked you that before..
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't really plan to do a comic (don't think I could manage that at this point), but I may do a few sort of mock pages. Just to start laying down story stuff
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
if not a comic, what were you thinking of doing with your headworld? xD If anything? I've heard some people say they're happy enough just drawing pictures from theirs.

Yep, pretty much. I'm not really even seeking to have a story. My headworld is more of a setting to round out my characters than anything. Sort of the way wanted Toria to be with my creatures (though that never really took off).
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nope, Toria's kind of dead. This is a new (well. Not new at all, but only recently shared) thing, with some actual character development for once. Most of it is still in my head or noted in my sketchbook, but I'm slowly piecing it together and posting bits of it on Tumblr.

really? D: > But you have to keep that desert walker >:l

Perhaps I will! The way this headworld is set up, I could honestly incorporate just about anything. I'll tell you all about it on Skype sometime if you want

They do look a bit like Reapers. I'm trying to make them a little more organic, but the form is still pretty close :/

His are the kind you do not want discovering the internet.

Indeed. Though (should this happen), they'd likely end up playing MMOs. And I'm not just being silly there. They'd see the MMO as a new world to explore as well as an opportunity to understand human social custom. Curiosity overrides hostility with these guys.
Plus if they get too unruly you could always just show them TVTropes. They'd be stuck there for a few centuries.

The godminds sound interesting, but I don't know if I would like to meet one. Talking is fine, but being dissected tends to ruin your day. The insect like design seems to add to the sense of size for it's body/carapice/storage. Roughly how large is Fifth?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You wouldn't want to meet one, no. If the godmind didn't think it could learn anything from you, it would probably ignore you, however, it won't stop any nearby guard units from going after you, either.
Being shot by a guard may still be favorable to having the godmind take an interest in you, however.
If you look on the image, right below the horizontal slit of Fifth's eye, you can see Duncan. He's roughly 6'. So using him as comparison, Fifth is close to the size of a city block, and is taller than it is wide. I'll post a full-body image at some point, as well as some of the other Godminds.

i think having the Godminds' names as ordinal numbers is actually perfect. but it's your headworld and that's up to you obviously haha. these are really really cool though.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I'm thinking I'll stick with it. They likely don't have much use for actual names, so numerical titles may work best. I'm hesitant to do it, though, because I don't want to suggest a hierarchy. And it's, well, boring.

I'd love to see more of your world. The little glimpses we get are amazing. Have you tried writing it all down? When I have a world in my head, I make what is pretty much a personal wiki full of the info.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I've written some of it down, but most of it is in my head and in my sketchbook. I suppose I'll get around to it eventually.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Regardless, I'll be happy to see whatever you decide to show off. You're art is amazing, second only to the ideas behind it.

"Fifth" sounds kinda cool, the idea of them all being called that is pretty interesting. Kinda remind me of Reapers from mass effect, nice design
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They're actually quite a bit like the Reapers, actually. I'm trying to move their design away from that as much as I can, but there's not much I can do with something that's supposed to be a big walking monolith, haha
