#uniima ll

[yellosnacc]

Algaechh - follower of the "hand", master of speach and diplomacy (or at least that's what's said - they only speak like 4 languages).

They are from an island micro-state following the oldschool head rule. A strange mix of peoples down there on the landmass. The primary occupants are uniima c with Algea being one of the few exceptions, but faiths are more than varied.

In their community, they belong to the family/collective that rules this community with their "merchant power" which survives on the intercultural differences. Unlike most Foru states, this place uses currency in their daily lives, even when it starts clashing with some believes.

Algae doesn't spend too much time with their family, but they are loyal.

They just don't like their way of thinking.

bigger ethnicity difference and. a mecha (def not canon)

fun fact, Neal wanted to be a sloman priest as a teenager.

Also, foru tree thought? idk

the don't-worry-about-it and uuuh, ugly baby

lastly a character. They guide the group on their journey to the "different world". But this is still a WIP. I want to refine their outfit and name (text on the pic is their "first name").

Welcome to the introduction (yippee)

I'm Philip/A/yello. I enjoy writing, art, science, and this is the blog focused on my personal brain worms.

My big brain worm is worldbuilding, and the world you are seeing is the World of All (placeholder name). World of All is placed on a single planet with multiple 'continents' that host independently evolved ecosystems and currently 4,5 sophonts/"aliens". This unique setup is all thanks to the Designers, mindless blobs that have managed to keep their landmasses isolated for billions of years (among other things). As a bonus, some of the blob physical manipulation is left in the sophont creatures' brains who have yet to understand physics on a deeper level.

image needs update

Here are the 5 (O.s are having a redesign session). Mole stars have not made contact with the rest.

You can also find me on Twitter · Instagram · Bluesky ·

This post will be updated with time. Beware, many posts are outdated, but I try to mark them.

After a long time, I have decided what my current sona is, which means I can make artist memes now.

It's based on classic war depictions of Unii-lls. A big big monster with giant horns, dinosaur posture, and a thick "scaly" tail. It's not the most accurate to what the soldiers really saw but it's cool as a sona. Not a canon character with uniima ll biology but just - some beast.

Uniima ll have miniature useless tails. They knuckle-walk most of the time and walk bipedally when they need height. Some farmers would make a terrible-for-spine contraption to free both of their hands when harvesting crops. It was like a backpack in the shape of a tail. To keep the weight same-ish, the farmer would drink the water kept in it after they filled it with material.

HERES A MEME

Here is my current redesign of Uniima LL because they really needed it with the world changes.

For anyone who doesn't know Uniima LL are very closely related to Uniima C. They are an evolutionary branch that traveled to the lower deserts of Foru where they experienced welm... changes.

Just like Uniima C, their eyes are immovable and to focus they turn their heads (around 200°). Their expressions are also much like Uniima C (not the expression language but the system), with them moving their face markings in specific ways. This will sometimes lift other muscles with the markings, making them appear as smiling, upset, etc. to other humanoids.

They share a lot more with other uniimas than with the elven or human O.s.

The most common Uniima ll's believe of why they humanized is that their Designer wished for peace with the sloman Designer and gave them the ability to speak sloman(elven) language and soul.

[yellosnacc]

-Outdated-

Current look for the most humanized of Uniima ll. Southwest human uniima. (they are not normaly bold like that and some do have tail feathers too).

The uniima c on the right should be size accurate comparison. (if the ll is around 175cm bipedal).

However, even the most humanized Uniima don't spend all their time bipedaly as it's very tiring for their spine and legs.

When quadrupedal, they fold their hands so that their unfused wing fingers (that are bit stif compared to the rest) lay under their main fingers. (Or they get shoes that do a better job.)

Still need to draw a side view but pretend this is very finished.

[yellosnacc]

just things

I'm still suffering with uniima ll design but I will likely end on the one I posted last time and skelly boi

or I will enter another cycle of suffering

it's not all I drew but this was on one canvas and easy to crop

[yellosnacc]

Thinking about Sloman redesign with some animal there for reference. Stalk eyes thoughts. Still, idk what their body should be like but it might be more bird-like than uniima ll.

I'm considering a Uniima ll-sona Also just sketching around for more experimentation

The hair is probably unrealistic for uniimas but it's more my hair.

definitely a guy

Hi there, I have a really bad art lock today and I'm having a very hate-hate relationship with clip studio and rendering/coloring. Anyone has any tips for brushes or brush settings that won't make me feel like I'm actively fighting the program? Never felt this angry with sai or rebelle.

To that here is the sketch I destroyed today because I wanted colors 😑.

As context, it's a lazily designed Foru Uniima ll - living in a society with uniima c and sharing the same social norms.

This isnt a redesign of Uniima lls, this is just an individual with different traits.

[yellosnacc]

Welcome to a long one.

The Ciwan empire is the fastest-growing sloman power ever since the war of continents and the first to discover a form of gunpowder (thanks to their enemies being uniima lls who have been using it long before).

But even with that advantage (among slomen), the Ciwan armies are iconic for a different reason. That being the Kuiqua-trained units that Sun-cutters come from.

These units have traditionally existed for hundreds of years but are slowly just becoming a symbol for show because of the political and battling changes in the world. However, you will still see them from time to time ripping people to pieces.

Just like the majority of sloman military groups the unit relies on intense teamwork, they need constant communication and preplanned routes to deal with the opposing strategy.

The simplified average scene might look something like this:

In one unit of 30 members, three strikers (Sun-cutters) make a plan with their scholars and commanding Fire-catchers (Seconds leaders). After getting to the war zone they wait for their window in which some members spy or communicate with deeper army spies. When they know their target and best strategy they get in. The strikers use hand gestures, clicks, or whistles to save energy while the Seconds forward the orders to the rest with "ground's" (war language), wooden whistles see more use in very large units. Many times, however, often just seeing the movement of the sun-cutters is enough for the whole group to act.

Strikers will sometimes wait behind their heavies (Beasts) if their force isn't necessary (units can be as few as 5 members or as many as 50, the two extremes work very differently). Once the situation calls for it, they bullet their targets, often stabbing talons first and tearing muscles in a swift motion. This may happen multiple times as other unit members engage in direct battle with the target/s or disarm them with specialized tools. Kuiqua units both kill and capture, having healing supplies on their heavies if they need to make sure their target doesn't bleed out (or their own soldiers).

All members of the Kuiquan unit are priests of different levels but all are priests of the dead (ones that speak for their ancestors rather than gods). It's believed lands conquered with these soldiers present will flourish with life. Many former battlegrounds have turned into gardens and crop fields (hopefully they don't keep this up when landmines are invented).

To the image. What you see is a small variety of soldiers. Beasts and fire-catchers have other names and features in their armor that they are known for based on all their roles that can often switch between fights. Only Sun-cutters truly have one name.

Fire-catchers are also sometimes strikers in training and may move up if they prove themselves. Though, more often Sun-cutters rise from the ranks of regular taloned soldiers with enough talent.

-

As mentioned in the image, Sun-cutters tend to be very prideful. Their helmets are an impractical mess that pushes their ears forward. A Ciwan Sloman's ears are very important to them and if they are damaged it's a career-ending event. Still, almost no strikers bind their ears, not wanting to be shamed for cowardness.

an ex-striker

here is the whole picture if you prefer it big

Btw, Kuiqua is the city Neal lives in. He has met or been arranged to meet these units multiple times since Neal himself is stuck classified as a fancy soldier. They are also not uncommon around temples, small talk is required.

Thank you for reading this far! Next I must answer the questions of biology. This has taken me 50 000 years.

A bit more refined body type for the "uniimen" (lls)

Still need a better name for them. Calling uniima Cs and LLs really doesn't work in the current state of the world.

To the arboreal uniima these are "rock people" or "horned people". Their names are pretty regional but if we were to use an "international" name it would either be based on the Ueemic religion, just like the word Uniima is a sloman version of the word ueema (a follower of that religion). Or it would be something more basic and Sloman-made word since the contact with them came sooner.

If they are using a name based on ueemic cultures then it's likely mostly in big cities of Ciwa and their trade nations.

Sketch dump

Another Uniima ll try. The body is meh but I like the head and neck much more than last time. Also, just them having bigger heads than slomen is right. However extra humanoid ones would still exist in a place. Ignore the random bones.

Just a little amphibian.

Hi there

I'm being a bit less active rn and I'm sorry about that. Got me into bigger things like the brain comic and city illustrating but I'm sooo slow and need to study for an entrance exam.

Here are some sketched pages (the text is a placeholder, the actual words are in my script). Neal will explain some very modern biology as you can see, but mostly how the designer structure works and where to find it.

Also an oc and some au content from a little fun thing on a server. The oc is a uniima ll hybrid who, unfortunately for them, has to work on a giant space station.

how is gender seen amongst uniimas or even any other sentient species, do they take an example of humans? do they even have a concept of it. srry if this is strange

Not a strange question, very good question actually.

For uniima c, our concept of gender is something of a taboo. Just like us, they are bi-sex, but unlike us, they have 0 sexual dimorphism and it's impossible to tell someone's sex on sight. This means that they also don't have a concept of homosexuality or heterosexuality but many pairs can't have children. Adoption is very common and families will trade eggs or get them from the community "birther".

There's nothing like our gender in Uniima c society but they do have ranks and gender-like stereotypes based on "courting traditions/rituals/skills". It's usually an artistic expression that is inherently romantic.

(Uniima ll have a very similar system but in some areas they have less rules and take some sloman inspiration)

For O.s, sexual gender doesn't exist at all, and in non-humanoid O.s no gender exists. For human O.s however, the concept of femininity and masculinity exists and they often choose an identity based on this. It is partially their own invention and partially inspired by elven/slomen.

For Slomen gender is actually less binary than for O.s. The females are usually bigger with bigger authority and males have bigger display features (I have not drawn that at the time of this post) but transgenderism is not a new concept in any way and is in most places accepted as nothing unusual. The average recognized set of genders is about 5. Some genders have spiritual meanings as well.

The stars are not yet very developed by me but they are very strict about sex and gender.

Some wyvern progress (they all still need work)

Great Maned Stalker wyvern

Big Fisher wyvern

A Horned Runner wyvern and Rock climber wyvern (most closely related of all 4)

The Maned Stalker is the apex predator of Foru fields. They are also a big problem in elven lands and in the uniima ll deserts and are considered invasive species. They gulp livestock like nothing and "throw" skin-melting toxins if you don't let them finish digesting (with their pouch full is hard for them to fly well). (their bites are also unpleasant)

Fishers are a less aggressive group of wyverns that feed on crustaceans, fish, small animals and some species are also scavengers. Some Uniima have managed taming them.

They too possess a toxin but since they are more likely to just fly off when in danger it's less strong than that of a stalker.

The Horned Runner is an only living member of its group. Unlike other wyverns it has two horns with bony cores (the norm is a small bone in a skin/beaky crest). It uses these horns in mating and defense but once one is uneven with the other it ruins their flying abilities.

Because of this they are somewhat better at ground hunting than others and can even partially live off plant matter.

The small Rock Climber has evolved from the two horned ancestors similar to Horned Runner but it's horn's bone cores have (almost) fused to create a bony crest. Between the two bones is it's more complex vocalization organ, almost resembling the one of Uniima C.

They are omnivores that can climb!

These are all just concepts at the moment and will likely change a bit and get their colors. And I will add some more like the giant wyverns that were hunted to extinction for their wings.

what does humanoid bug [listed in your uniima c diet post] look like?

Since I don't have a name for the human (elven, Uniima ll,..) regions it stands for bugs from those regions. It would be mostly the bugs humans eat like crickets, worms etc. Reason 1 being Uniima's fear of "Uniima bugs". Reason 2 being cheap trading prices and easy to farm "exotic food". Uniima are very into exotic foods since they can process more food than other region's species.

Also a Foru (Uniima region) bugs aren't really bugs. Most are just completely different species becoming small to fill the bug roles. (and then there's wasps)

Sorry for the horrendous quality I'm on train
