Baby Slomen (chicks?sloms?slims)

Baby slomen (chicks?sloms?slims)

They are born with sharp 'teeth' on their lower jaw to help them leave their meat egg. Once out, they use them to pierce their mother's "crop" to drink. After 14 to 18 months the teeth are gone, and at the same time, the mother's crop stops filling.

The mini sloms are also born blind (but stay that way only for a week). Their eyestalks stay protected with a very thick layer of fat for multiple years.

Being more bottom-heavy than adults, they can already learn to walk in 4 months. Their posture stays raptorial before ages 6 to 8.

Here are also some experimental sketches of adults. Def need a character exploration for uniima, but understandably, slomen are a bit easier to work with, being the human aliens.

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.

What is an... "alive plane"?

An alive plane is very illegal activity stuff (in most places)

old design-inaccurate post for gods (i need a better name for them, this one is confusing) (link shows body horror)

it's not easy or safe to do this

A small show of some very different central states uniima clothing. This is very small sample with only 3 and 4 being more universal.

From left to right - traveling representative, "egg master"/"gender supreme", pilot, casual commoner.

Fashion is very important for central and many other Uniima. All non casual clothing is custom made and rather than fitting a style it's designed to compete with other styles. This means very fast changes. Smaller communities like towns will have more uniform styles as they might have their own fashion guild that wants to be the best one.

Colors are also a VERY important part of fashion and even commoners will add some to their casual dress. I made this image more plain because that sort of stuff is personal. For the "egg master", white is usually the color of birth and life and is rarely personalized (but can show the wearer's accomplishments).

It follows these standards.

In many states, almost every outfit has a sort of skeleton that other pieces of clothing are attached to. It also serves as the underwear.

This allows the more flowy and loose fabric to stay controlled even when climbing.

While very varied among communities, centrals often hide more body with more layers and firm cloth than other regions which is partially because they are exposed to more sunlight and need protection from it. Doing "strategical" tree cutting for material and expansion, their lands have turned drier and sunnier. They still live mostly on trees but strongly manage the territory.

Lastly here's some non-explicit nudity of them to also show different body types.

A battle sketchy

and probably the only drawing so far having all people at once?

This Sloman armor is mostly leather and bronze/iron. Speed is important for this guy and it's not great to be a metal golem if you want to use your legs as an additional weapon.

For the ifey their armor is their main weapon. The two claw-ish things in their mouth are something used for hunting (made of wood or bone) but they aren't strong enough to pierce an opponent. The intended use of this very heavy armor is to get it stuck in someone, even if the wearer doesn't come back.

This uniima's heavy ground armor is made of wood and chainmail. Additionally to that, they also hold 4 weapons. 2 beak blades, 1 double-shield, and something to take out soft eyes probably.

Most societies are still strongly pushing the 'art' of battle. The current conflicts are regional, between countries, cities etc. but they are still very common. They battle for land, resources or due to beliefs or dumb misunderstandings.

There are not as many interspecies wars as they live on separate continents with only the bridges between the continents being shared and fought for.

Luckily for residents it's not too appetizing for rulers to try conquer alien territory when they aren't sure what lives there or what's edible. But there are always exceptions.

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
