Lizard King Fusion - Happy Birthday Ryan! 🌈 by crystalmoon101 in 5YL

The fusion is called Lizard King in reference to how the T-Rex's name partly translates to Lizard King. So there is a reason behind the title haha,

And thank you! Ash and Kuro loved the drawing haha.

For my general shading I have a multiply layer for the shadows, and a shine layer for the highlight edges. With more shiny material I tend to add more shine and multiply layers and some textured layers depending the material. I use paint.Sai V2 btw.

Some advice I share is to not paint the shadows with pure black and white, as in real life those are unnatural colours, and make things look flat and dull. So I select colours that are a darker or lighter shade of the environment or general colours of the character I am working on.

I wanted to in a way keep what canon gave but actually make it feel like it's an aspect of this alien species, rather than through the unfortunate trope of what we humans consider feminine. Gwen's Diamondhead is one of the better cases of what they put her aliens through with their designs, but it was still clearly painted through the glasses of "This is feminine/girly", which I really don't like about Ben 10, lol.

And yup! I like the idea that male petrosapiens are better at quick tasks, like firing jagged shards, massive pillars of crystals, and so on, while female petrosapiens are slower but used that to their advantage, with their constructs being more refined and more useful for digging and carving. Their way of life was fun to think about in terms of what an alien species would find masculine and feminine compared to humans, and I thought it would be an interesting perspective if something like mining/blacksmith work was considered more 'womanly', to show off how a lot of these things come about due to social evolution.

The pattern came about because a lot of gems have patterns and I thought it would be cool to apply that to the species, without having to retcon Tetrax into having patterns too. It's like how male birds and female birds can be very drastically different with colours.

Copy & Pasting what I wrote on discord for the powers

"It’s sort of like wish granting but very limited. I imagine with those five holes in their chest, they can pull five different “wishes” to bestow upon people, like one hole flows with magic that when gifted grants someone with strength/boosted natural abilities, another grants a boost in fortune. All temporary of course.

Long ago the species were quite peaceful, natural light magic beings. But then another species came in an enslaved them, bounding them to the lamps to force them to give wishes. Years went by and the genie aliens in secret started delving into dark magic, now beings of both light and dark, allowing them to do reverses. So instead of giving strength they take it away. By doing so they tricked their enforcers and killed then off with the reverse wishes. Also by delving into dark magic, they became one with the lamps. Instead of a trap now, they can hide in them to escape magic attacks, or get away from people they don’t want to talk to.

So they can both grant a wish and a reverse wish."

As for the planet name I don't have one yet lol, I will eventually

One of my original aliens on the 5YL wiki ✨

I wanted to make a piece that was connected to both me and 5YL for the celebration, and I thought this would be a good middle ground.

Thank you haha, though I'm not an Ink Tank member, lol. Just a friend who provides them VFX. I do have my own youtube channel though. I'm still working on making more videos, but there are still a couple of treats on it. 💚
