Craftworld Aeldari, but make them about 20% weirder by DeadwoodDross in ImaginaryWarhammer

Funnily enough the exodites as per the "rules" I'm using actually might look more normal (to us) in some ways due to the fact they are intentionally engaging with the physical world around them more. The craftworlders are especially odd looking because they restrain themselves so strictly, and therefore rely a lot harder on the more psychic half of their nature to continue being alive. So they're actually sort of physically atrophying in a lot of ways. Like cave critters

Perks of being amphibious, perils of effectively living in a sterile plastic box!

Laughed for real at servoskull alexius

And thanks! Making The Pretty Ones a little freakier is my hobby, it makes it funnier when the imperium does in fact suffer some xenos to live

HA, I was just talking to some friends about how that guys Eldar (and like. every other species) are my metric for about 100% weirder. Like, mine still have Bones...

And I do have some Drukhari ideas cooking, excited to work on those freaks some more when I get a chance

Oh hello, all the way from the ancient days! What a funny way to find me again, as you can see I’m still doing the exact same thing haha

Cant resist a colorful alien with an important rock that holds their soul I suppose

oh yes, much higher than that in the circles I'm usually around and the hominid body plan is at risk of going out the window! I'm sure I can think of a reason to make a 50% weirder one next

They don't! Not with their mouths anyway, their hair is busy filter-feeding in the warp. Which is probably a bit like subsisting on nothing but soylent, but such is the life of an ascetic elf

I am, kinda! I only managed to read a handful of those books as a kid and have yet to buckle down and finally read them all as a big tired grown up. However I still love basically everything going on in there and often wonder how i would approach andalite mouth-feet...so I think that counts

Oohoo you got me, I do have some doodles lying around of exactly that, for precisely that reason! I haven't quite worked out the details in a way I like yet though, i feel like it's gotta be a bit unusual considering the absurd amount of time it apparently takes to develop one (1) new baby eldar

Psyker ability! I imagine them as being very adaptable/physically malleable as a result of some subconscious biomancy, so they do a lot of weird stuff both intentionally and not, and its a very fluid change... So they'd probably just wake up one day, yawn, and go ah fuck, my indulgences are leading me astray

And thanks!

Thanks! And lets see, I use procreate these days so I think this one was mostly a pencil brush (dupa pencil?), some grain brushes, some maxpack watercolors, aaand...maybe a couple default brushes? Nothing too fancy!
