You don’t. Once he has your heart, it’s his forever.

COBRA!!!!!’

(Awesome art, btw.)

How do you stop loving a cobra commander?

After seeing covers and panels from this, I’m going to have to start reading the Energon Universe.

Cobra Commander #3

Outside of some eldritch gods, this guy:

Khrelan is my Vy’keen OC from the No Man’s Sky video game. He and Verity (a human) are two of my favorite OCs, and I enjoy writing their interactions. Khrelan still sees the world in a way humans can mostly understand (making him easier to write than one of my eldritch god OCs), but there are still notable cultural and biological differences.

I researched a lot of things for my take on his species. Vy’keen are warm-blooded humanoids who have both mammalian and reptilian traits. I based the Vy’keen respiratory system off a crocodile’s, and they require less oxygen than humans, despite being larger. There is very little obvious sexual dimorphism among Vy’keen, and it is assumed that Vy’keen rely on pheromones to tell the difference (although some human explorers believe that the metal beards seen on some individuals are an exclusively male fashion statement). You’ll see them extend their lower lips quite a bit to scent the air, and their excellent sense of smell can easily become overwhelmed by certain scents produced by the Gek (an amphibian-like sentient species). Some, like Khrelan, have learned that humans portray happiness or friendly intent with a smile, and have adapted their normal scenting behavior for interacting with our species. Results definitely vary:

(Khrelan takes a selfie with Verity’s camera.)

In any case, he’s really fun to write, and since I’ve been getting back into the game more I need to actually update their story. Hope my writing style is still somewhat consistent!

Which of your characters is the most alien?

OTP Writing Prompt #30

Your OTP goes on a romantic picnic. They expect the usual ants and flies, but what actually tries to steal their food isn’t the usual suspect.

Samara was escaping from Cyrodiil to Skyrim after her entire village had been slaughtered by Thalmor for philosophical crimes. She had hoped that the Thalmor would be so preoccupied with the trouble brewing in the region that they wouldn’t pay attention to a nobody like her. She considers herself a coward.

Very curious

He’s beautiful. I don’t even care if he’s just lip-synching!

Awesome art!
