The Main 13 Vani.

Took me about 6 and a half hours. I've always wanted to make a big nice image of all of them together, one that wasn't just a doodle, so here it is! I'm super happy with how it turned out, even with their cacophony of odd designs!

Hey Juno! I just wanna ask how a zipper-mouth exactly works, I know these are aliens but you are very passionate about giving explanations in what makes them tick. Soo, how does the musculature work to support the zipper-mouth, does the zipper mouth NEED to extend to the base of the neck or can it just reach to around the middle of the neck, (more related to kwaiz jaws in general) could it split in half and act as 2 separate jaws, I am brainrotting so hard and I want answers about zipper-mouths

Zippermouths are a complex mechanism involving several "muscular hooks" chained along a multi-segmented "split" from the neck/throat.

This is how it gets the name, "zippermouth"! Think of the head and neck area of one such individual as having five types of parts; the braincase, the top/static mandible, the bottom mandible (or jaw), the spinal split, and the "mobile" split(s). The two "normal" jaws are almost always free and able to act as jaws, like on a normal vertebrate animal. However, along the edges where the spinal and mobile splits meet, there are dozens, maybe hundreds of tiny muscle hooks that hide behind the lips.

When together, these muscle hooks fit and weave together perfectly to create the throat. The individual has the full ability to then pull them apart, as if simply opening their mouth, and these hooks will then unhook and allow the jaws to open. They tend to open from the jaws down, hence, a "zipper" mouth.

There can be multiple splits, as long as there's at least the main one (the spinal split) that provides strong neck support to hold everything up. The extension of the zipper also doesn't matter, they can go halfway down, fully down, even down across the body to an extent as long as no organs are compromised.

Even with a zippermouth, thanks to the underlaying muscles, zippermouth havers can still smile on their face like you or i!

REALLY quick shitty doodles but i hope these help in some way!

INTRODUCTION

Dance among the voided skies, as the stars have all fallen from their place. Watch the worlds around you crumble at their hands, For there is no way to defend yourself....or is there? What if some rose again, to fight the doom that the others create? What if you still had a chance? Stars against Stars, the duality unfolds.... We will see, what you're really made of.

Welcome to my Hypnofantasma fan-story! A tale of the aliens known as Vani, invading Earth in the name of heroic mercy and genocide. However, it's already having its drawbacks, as a group of Vani are now working in favor of Humankind, and some going mysteriously missing. Will humanity and Kraizenian kind both solve their mysteries? Or is humankind doomed to the wrath of the Vani?

The next victim of my ref sheet spree: The bat twink

[earwigconsumer]

Yeah, sorry, oc art now I do what I wanna

This is Euklara. They're an ink vani

They're very rushed though

Artfight attack on @hypnofantasma ! Zuravira!

Kenopsia: The Forever Ocean, yeah? I was curious as to "Hey, so how long have the Kraizen had to live/how long have the Vani been around, anyway" since they have a different time system from us!

So, I did the only thing I could possibly do and did all the math for it.

Wanted to drop it here for anyone in the Keno community who might just only be on Tumblr and make a more officially organized version of this for anyone interested.

A text version is under the "keep reading" for anyone that needs it!

The Brandshock occurred some 5.3 million years ago. How long would that be to the Kraizen/Vani?

Scale for reference, straight from the Kraizen/Vani page from @JunoSaturna on Toyhouse.

Ti (crackles/ticks/seconds) = 1 Earth second, 60 BPM

Zhe (shifts/minutes) = 50 ticks

Qa (marks/hours) = 50 shifts

Tal (tallies/days) = 50 marks

Volya (frames/months) = 100 tallies

Mienze (cycles/years) = 10 frames

Metaze (murals) = 120 cycles

The Actual Math.

1 Earth Year = 31,540,000 seconds/ti.

31,540,000 ti ÷ 50 per zhe = 630,800 zhe.

630,800 zhe ÷ 50 per qa = 12,616 qa.

12,616 qa ÷ 50 per tally = 253.32 tallies (253 tallies and 16 qa).

253.32 tallies ÷ 100 per frame = 2.5332 frames (2 frames and ~53 tallies) -> 0.25332 cycles.

2.5332 frames × 5.3 million years on Earth (time since the Brandshock) = 13,425,970 frames (1,342,596 cycles/11,188.3 murals)

So, what does this say?

In their units, the Kraizen have been roaming around as the Vani for 1,342,596 cycles as of the current day, or around 11,188 murals.

A Kraizen's average lifespan is 12,000 cycles. As of current, a Vani would have lived through ~111.88 average Kraizen lifetimes.

1 cycle ≈ 3.948 Earth years. With that conversion present, 1 average Kraizen lifespan ≈ 47,376 Earth yYear.

In short? It has been a LONG TIME.

Kraizen Life Milestones in Earth Years (to the nearest whole)

Infancy/Toddler: 0-20 years

Childhood: ~20-79 years

Prepubescent Age: ~79-474 years

Kannmeta (Kraizen puberty): Occurs when around 474 years old

You are not immune to vani glyphs (testing photoshop brushes)

This guy has a cool design I'm ngl

The Earth Team - " Alpha "

The first- or main- third of the Vani team, each in their element.
