Got a little wave of inspiration so have a little guy I don’t plan on doing anything with lol

They're so cute, I love the design and the mushroom is adorable! ;w; here's a sketch of them with the newspark from the other picture

Did a bit more practice with CSP’s perspective ruler and drew a room in Hymnios’ home. Definitely should be a lot more cluttered, but by then I would’ve probably died 💀

Maybe I’ll color it later on but I really do not feel like doing that right now.

Hymnios is an inhabitant of @cuppajj’s Thalamhan

Haven’t drawn this dude in a bit gcdgjnftdrvhbifv

Forgot how fun it was to draw him

And colours!! :D

@cuppajj

(Unsure if you’d like me to tag you, if not just ignore this or please just send a comment or a DM! Whatever you’re comfortable with!)

I was also wondering if you're incorporating other languages to name places and stuff like the same way you did with Thalamhan with Irish?

I might! At the very least, I’ve been playing with the idea of incorporating different writing systems. Angelic text might lean more towards an alphabetical system, while Demonic text would lean more toward an abugida system. Both languages are meant to be mutually intelligible (like Scots/English, Dutch/Afrikaans, etc), so there would be some overlap

Meet Clemyntie! A young butterfly on Thalamhan. This original character is mine, Thalamhan belongs to @cuppajj ^^

Clemyntie’s whole body except his face is dark gray, while his face is basically white. Any jewelry he wears is gold and shining. His scarf/shawl is a black with gold sparkles all around. His armour is a lighter gray than his body, but still darker than his face. His visor is a medium blue, more exactly #1F456E.

Clemyntie is a model through and through. From a younger age, he expressed interest in the modelling industry and had become one as soon as he was able.

Though, through his mostly soft smiles and quiet demeanour, Clemyntie hates socializing and interaction. It was clear in his first few interviews and modelling parts that he was a ‘Look but don’t touch’ model, and most respect that. Despite modelling being his first job, he does dabble in paints and creating jewelry for other young models like himself.

This is Vindex, a Rainbow scarab beetle bugformer

Meet her under the cut!

Normally, female Scarab beetles do not grow horns, however in her case, she did, but it is small.

She was once an avid explore, wanting to know the wonders of the far depths of the unexplored, and the (possible) surface of Thalamhan, however duty came first and she became a city guard.

Her weapons are scythes that connect at the ends (think Death from Puss and boots TLW)

her colours are that of (majority)blacks and greens, lights make it shimmer rainbow iridescence! 

The cloth is black and the (all)star shapes are white!

i dont have much on her, so this is all i got for the time being!

Vindex is my oc but her homeworld, Thalamhan belongs to @cuppajj​ !!

The Menders are Thalamites who turn into flora, tasked with arguably the most important job in the entire colony: overseeing the development and care of Thalamite newsparks. They are a tightly-knit community who live in the Nursery, a massive grove full of trees with pods in which Thalamites are forged in. Menders always know when newsparks are set to emerge from their pods, and thus they are always there to welcome them into the world. They are peaceful and soft spoken, and they are devout to the titan. Their community operates completely separate from greater Thalamhan; Menders never leave the Nursery, so they farm their own food and make their own fabrics, all for themselves and the newborn Thalamites in their care. They never see the outside world, but they’re content with it, always dedicated to preparing the young to find their place in it. After a Thalamite leaves the Nursery, they can never go back, and the Mender never sees them ever again. It can be hard, since they can become attached to the little ones, but they know it’s all part of their role as the caretakers of new life.

The Darklands are home to many notorious figures, but none are more feared than that of Hypna, the whimsical leader of the biggest crime syndicate in all of Thalamhan. She trades weapons, ununtrium, drugs, and mind control spores from mushrooms exclusively grown by her. She has a massive network of workers; she doesn't care who works for her as long as they're in her pocket, and she's never had any problem with that. They're too afraid to betray her; any subordinate who acts out or is deemed too unruly, she injects with her venom, turning them into a zombified drone and husk of their former selves. They become fodder to obey Hypna's every word, and protect her with their life. This unfortunate fate is also why not many crime lords who directly oppose her stick around for long.

What she lacks in height, she makes up for in sheer intimidation alone, and she has deserved her place as the unmitigated queen of the Darklands.

floraformers are so fun

Here's the current draft for Thalamhan's map, including the names of all four cities and Danuas's location! Things are most likely going to change in the future but for now, this is the layout. It's not entirely accurate, for one the scale is probably bound to change and the map presents the colony as very vertical when it's not. I'd probably need to make it in a 3D software for it to be the most accurate it can be, but that can be for another time

When Danuas tunneled into the planet millions of years ago, the series of interconnecting cave systems she left behind would become Thalamhan. Early Thalamites would found Danann, the capital city, and during the Branching Era centuries later, they would expand upward toward the surface, founding the other three cities as well as many smaller towns and villages. Thalamites also live along the tunnels connecting each settlement to another.

Danann is the capital and cultural center of the colony, home to the Sacred Grounds. Beneath it is Danuas, accessed only by the cityspeaker through an entrance known as the Well of the Titan.

Loc Faore is the agricultural capital, a city built around a large lake of the same name. The settlements that surround it are along the streams that come from the lake, home to most of Thalamhan’s farmers.

Astorea is known for its high population of smiths and metallurgists. Its nickname is Little Danann, as it has the second largest cultural scene in the colony, particularly textiles and art.

Tollana is unique for being a mostly vertical city, so most of its population are Thalamites with flight based alternate modes. Many scientists and engineers including some from Danann have residences here, as it is the closest city to the surface, perfect for researching the planet and sky themselves.

The dark regions that surround the colony are the Darklands.

Heylo! I've got a questionnnn about thalamhan

So how different is the titans guard opposed to the regular city guards. Do they protect the more populated areas, the titan itself or even something else? For me they seem to just be fancier more skilled guards (which probably is the case haha) but that's begs to differ why they're all not trained as such?

Anyway, don't mind my rambling 😅 it's probably super simple and I'm missing the point or over analyzing.

Here's the basic gist of it: City guard function as the basic force in the major cities (each city has a separate city guard), handling lower risk problems. They can arrest, but they don't handle justice. Titan's Guard are the more exclusive and devout force, and they're the ones who have higher jurisdiction and handle justice. They also do more dangerous things like patrol the border between Thalamhan and the Darklands. It's required that every TG swears themselves to Danuas, as their modus operandi is the safety of the Titan and her speaker. Think of them as a religious royal guard of sorts who are present across all of Thalamhan, while the city guard are your typical city police. [More info here]

Gealach and Coru were close friends. They spent so much time together, whether it be to read, walk through nature, or play music in their favorite quiet place. They were practically inseparable, and Coru more than anyone cherished the moments they had together. But he was always wary of Gealach's fascination with the stars, and a small part of him worried that they would take them away from him. His fears were deemed true when Gealach one day declared to him their desire to venture beyond Thalamhan. Coru, forever bound to the titan Danuas, refused to go with them. That was the last time he ever saw them.

After the Navigator's departure, Coru mourned them as if they had passed on. He had the statue of his close friend erected in the capital city to commemorate them, but he was never the same afterward. Even though he had known Gealach all his life, Coru did nothing to prevent their legacy from becoming little more than Thalamite legend.

Still indecisive, but here's the current idea for Tympani's colors (her plating is iridescent but this is the base palette)

Also I was confused while I was searching about bees for one of my thalamhan ocs, I don't think a queen bee exists in Thalamhan, do they? Or they exist but have a different job in the colony and are instead like the boss or one of the managers of the bees and/or tunnelers? Maybe just one of the aristocrats?

Am really curious to know!

No queen bee in the traditional way, the only form of bug hierarchy in Thalamhan is the speaker and titan. There are plenty of beeformers though (a lot work in construction or military/city guard), and they’re known for being loyal

It makes it slightly more difficult to disorient them, but they’d still feel the vibrations. That being said, he’d paralyze them himself by biting into them and injecting his venom
