Description

Thanks for your feedback on the poll! Since Maeve and Alex are the popular ones by a wide margin, I'll post something on Maeve today, and on Alex next week.


A small announcement first, at hynden85 's request, there's a slight change to Maeve's name. She'll now go by the name of Tyler M. Rodriguez, with Maeve as her middle name.


Now, onto the pics. These are Tyler's potential evolution down the line. Let's say Form 1 (left) is her base form, Form 2 (middle) is a "Plus" form and Form 3 (right) is her final Queen form.


Story-wise, she'll be mostly appearing in her base form.

Form 2 will be gained after she combined with another symbiote (will reveal more on this later), giving a boost to her psychic abilities and wider control over her drones.

Form 3 is her full potential as a Hive Queen, which would not happen in the story except in dreams or flash-forwards, as reaching this form would mean she has assimilated a large portion of humans and established her Hive colony. In this form, there's no more hiding among the populace.

Artist's Note:

The basic idea for Form 2 is that she gains a "royal mantle", albeit a more tentacly one. Each tentacle would function as an antennae, giving her a wider or more powerful control over her drones. Even enemy drones would be assaulted by her psychic aura, confusing them or even taking them over.

Form 3 is designed as a "goddess" in mind, hence the Greek-style, flowing "dress". As a Queen, I felt that a crown is overused, so I made it into a tentacly wreath instead. At the end of the tentacles are eyes, usually closed, but are opened when she's focusing her psychic powers. At this form, her psychic ability is strong enough to levitate herself, and generate a visible aura around her head. Hive Queens are extremely powerful, and are constantly surrounded by her trusted drones and retinue.


P.S: There's still a considerable distance, story wise, before I even reach Form 2, so the designs may still change as the story progress and evolves.

Second form look great, perfect upgrade. It is obviously still here but look more powerful with all those tentacles.

Β I don't like third form very much. Wreath is great idea but maybe because of her pose she look like wimp in comparison to previous forms.

Thank you!


The "wimpy" look is intentional. In this form she's a powerful psychic, which tends to tall, thin wizards. As a Queen, she's also no longer expected to do any "heavy grunt" work, she has her drones for that. Same goes for defense, with many drones willing to sacrifice themselves for her.

This may be symbiote thing but she don’t look able to spawn a lot of drones. Is she controller and reproduction is done by somebody else?

Skwang In reply to W8W [2019-07-30 14:04:40 +0000 UTC]

The Queen creates Drones, who in turn can create Lesser Drones.

Short answer is: She can control all under her, while "reproduction" is mostly done by her Drones.


Long answer:

I put "reproduction" under quotes as symbiotes should mostly multiply via symbiosis possessing other hosts as their name implies. Only a Queen can reproduce and create a "new" symbiote strain, while her Drones and Lesser Drones are the same symbiote substance as the Queen, and under her psychic influence. Each Drone have their own autonomy, and can create/control Lesser Drones, but these have less intelligence.

To be counted as a Hive Queen, she would need at least dozens of Drones and hundreds of Lesser Drones.

Can the queen create a new queen incase she dies or a new colony is created

Skwang In reply to SubjectMega [2019-09-26 05:01:17 +0000 UTC]

Yes, only the Queen can create a "larvae", which can grow into a new Queen.
Drones, like Cynaith, can infect other humans to become Lesser Drones, but is still part of the old colony.
A larvae is required to create a new colony.

I love the second form, and I do appreciate that her third is more like a scenario where she would abandon her humanity (which I hope she doesn't do).

I actually would want to see the half/partial forms of Maeve and Alex since they can do that for either fun or saving energy.

Skwang In reply to PHunt2014 [2019-07-29 14:14:18 +0000 UTC]

Although she would still remain on the side of humanity, once she reached Form 3, her Hive would begin to take more priority.


As for the half/partial forms, remind me again when I have the chance to do a fan-service scene for them. XD

PHunt2014 In reply to Skwang [2019-07-29 17:13:23 +0000 UTC]

But her and her hive would still blend in just to protect themselves from harm if it ever gets to that point, right?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Skwang In reply to PHunt2014 [2019-07-30 13:37:31 +0000 UTC]

At that point, a Hive would have too many members to hide easily.

Eventually she'll have to pick between her Hive, which is essentially her family, or other humans.

As for the name change, the author did want to give her a more tomboyish name.
