Just a little tribute to 's spectacularly written story, All Tomorrows.

Y'know how I keep gushing over that one piece of literature, via making weird art that is based on some of its themes? Well, I just decided to give a shot at actually drawing something from it, for crying out loud!

I decided to do the Qu, simply because they are that weird little nightmare that everybody knows about, but also knows nothing about. They'd usually assume the Qu to be monsters. They probably are. But as said in the book/e-book itself, the Qu are also people. Very obedient and fascist people, but people no less.

They do people-y things. They have friends. They have pets. They have houses, and depending on their biological dynamics, wives/husbands/partners, children, and their own growing civilization.

The Qu
The Mothership #241

The Qu are a billion-year-old nomadic race of people who've travelled between galaxies in mass exoduses that span for millions of years at a time. They are gifted with an immensely long life, and nanotechnology that equates to mind-numbingly sophisticated technology. They take note of other alien races, but are essentially their equal to bits of news you hear in the morning channels. They pass by you. You're interested for a moment. You may even look online for a few more details. But after that, you're ready to get on with your life. That's basically how Qu look at other species exponentially more advanced than we are. If we ever met them, we wouldn't even be significant. We'd be an afterthought, a wall stain to clean up to make way for new renovations.

Here, we see an average white-worker in his office's cubicle. They never invented keyboards, so the nanotech drone at hand translates neural signals from his brain into codes which directly make their way onto the computer screen as words. His assisting genetic tracer by his side is holding a sample of DNA, which he's analyzing via hologram. A sample of a creature from Earth, which he will then use the hologram to mess around with it, and program that into the computers. Translating to the actual creature getting genetically mixed up until it's barely recognizable. This is why they not only pick Qu that learned about business, but also those who graduated from Art School. You can tell, this guy just wants to go home to his wife, and go to a place with a more scenic view at hand.
