/xen/ - Xenos

>>872

As lovely as that'd be, I don't think we have the drawfriends to sustain that kind of thread. It seems everyone already left this board.

Are you a drawfriend, of the sorts, even?

>>873

I am. The picture in the OP is something I drew.

I figure this board's specialty is something I'd be interested in drawing, so I would put the idea out there.

I think that's an excellent initiative.

>>873

Slow boards are comfy but it's true that sometimes I wonder just how many we are.

>>874

>>875

Well, I hope everyone is comfortable with the idea of having long waits between requests for requests, the requests themselves, and the deliveries in response.

So, drawfriend, can you draw a snek?

>>876

Sure, momentarily. I'm presently over in the RTS thread on /v/. Nearly done there, though.

>>876

Right, taking 5 from the RTS thread. Anything you want to see in particular for this snek?

>>878

Maybe just a plop snek. All comfy and bound up like a piled hose, with some anonymous man nestled inside her grasp, asleep.

>>878

Specifically have her resting her head atop his, her neck crown atop him like a hat, her arms wrapped around him, and her tail surrounding them both.

>>880

>>879

Sure mate. That's what I was aiming towards, actually.

>>881

Cool. I like that we're on the same page.

Take your time. If you're looking to improve, post as you progress, so you can get some critique.

>>872

Yes, that would be awesome.

>>873

>It seems everyone already left this board.

D-don't say that, we're just slower and very niche.

>>883

Then why did it take you so long to respond to this thread?

>>887

Are her eyes going to be closed, or open?

>>887

I fucking love the face. Got some kind of Giger action going on.

>>888

I was going to go with closed, given that at least she's supposed to be asleep.

>>889

Trying to go with the concept art design. They did a good job at capturing that giger-esque feel.

>>890

Yeah. Closed would fit well.

I'm glad your staying on model, as well. Otherwise, it'd just be another naga.

>>892

The raised positioning of her back makes it feel a bit awkward.

Perhaps repositioning her to be 'lowering' with him, and the rest of her body piling over them both would make it appear more "comfy".

>>894

Yes.

>>897

He looks a bit bored there. Not really 'comfy' enough of an expression.

>>898

I was aiming for a "frustrated with his predicament" look, but I can go comfier, sure.

By the by, I've got to head off to work in a few, so it'll be later tonight before I get more work on this done.

>>899

Right. Gotta take your time. Peace.

>>903

I kinda like the face myself. It's got quite the comical "Now how did things get to this?" feeling to it.

Keep it up drawfag, you're doing god's work.

>>905

Hmm/ Maybe you can make one afterwards that's just a slight edit to it?

One with him hugging her "body" below him, with an "Ah, screw it." smile to his face.

>>906

Sounds cute. Sure.

Mostly done with the outline. Need to do more detailing.

Currently undoing a memory leak, will post progress once done.

>>908

Upon retrospect, both of their necks look obscenely long. Like, really long.

Might wanna shorten them just slightly.

>>910

Yeah. She's a big snek.

>>914

I found it on my hard drive.

>>909

I'll fix his neck.

Sorry about the wait. Had work last night and this morning.

>>919

>that face

Comfy/10

>>916

That's right!

>>923

Adorable.

It's a shame something like this will only be in the fanart.

anything else people want to see?

>>927

How about a Wraith, but more on-model?

>>928

>>929

Alright, gents. One bit I need to finish up elsewhere and I can get started here.

And thanks, anon. PTSD Batter holds a special place in my heart too.

>>935

sorry about the long delay. Had work last evening and this morning. Can get back to work here soon.

>>937

No problem. Salary before charity.

>>939

You should probably just focus on one.

Give them separate, full attention.

This was a good idea. Wasn't it?

>>942

terribly sorry, gents. Life got busy, and /xen/ slipped my mind. Is there anything people would like?

>>970

Did you ever uh, finish the old ones?

>>971

Who, the hags, or the earlier requests.

>>972

Second one.

>>973

I haven't.

>>974

That's a real shame. Can you still do it?

>>975

Which one would people want to see first.

>>976

I dunno.

People have bias against Wraiths.

>>977

So a bloodsucker, then?

>>978

Bloodsuckers, then the Wraiths.

>>981

Something tells me he doesn't want to.

>>983

I can't tell what's going on, but I like it.

Continue.

>>989

So he doesn't know they're female, at first.

>>990

I doubt most people could differentiate between male and female bloodsuckers on a glance, anon. Poor stalker was a bit too focused on fixing his flashlight anyways.

>>991

He'll probably still be disturbed, but in a slightly aroused way, once he notices their contours, maybe.

>>989

This is fucking neato

>>994

some older stuff, similar style.

>>995

Never mind >>996

I just realized that you are Joolius. This is top tier man.

>>997

Thanks mate.

>>1002

No worries man, its looking good.

>>1006

I'm glad you like it anon.

Sorry for these shitty, long delays. Between work and being bipolar, I'm shit at keeping up with these sorts of things.

I'll try to get this picture finished before the day is done.

>>1013

I think the "staring blankly forward in terror" look is funnier.

>>1013

>>1014

I disagree, I like the second one better.

But anyway, the drawfriend should go with whatever one he likes the most.

>>1014

Second for now, but I'll wait to see the whole page to know which one goes best with the flow.

>>1013

I know it isn't any help, but I honestly can't decide.

>>1019

>no depictions of said fucking

Other than that, good work.

>>1020

That wouldn't really work in the art style, anon. Especially given there's only one, shitty, tiny lightsource.

And because I want to finish this picture. I can draw Bloodsucker lewds later.

Also, do people want me to draw a wraith thing, or does somebody have a newer request for something they want to see.

>>1022

How about a challenge request? Draw anything you'd consider to be /xen/-related without it being of a character/race you've already drawn.

>>1024

Interesting.

Let me go digging to see what I've drawn in the past.

>>1024

does it count if it was a silly doodle that only had the slightest modicum of effort applied?

>>1026

Eh, not really.

>>1027

I hope you're ready for necromorphs, anon.

>>1028

Transformation and necrophilia? That'll be pretty difficult to make attractive.

>>1029

well, I'm trying to think of things I haven't drawn before. Besides one silly doodle, I haven't tried necromorphs before.

>>1030

I'm not saying not to do it, I'm only saying that it'll be tough to do.

>>1031

It's not stopping me, anon.

>>1033

>>1028

It's probably not going to be fappable but I'm interested in seeing how this will turn out. >>1024 's idea was pretty neat, you should consider doing something like this again at some point.

>>1034

True, anon. But the first step to making fappable content isn't necessarily fappable itself.

>>1038

Good work so far, anon.

>>1041

I'm not sure if it's intentional or not, but she looks worried in that first one.

>>1042

A little, yeah. Poor dude is freaking the fuck out, after all.

I could throw up a slight bit of exposition on miss necromorph here, if folks would like. I pieced a few ideas together.

>>1043

>I could throw up a slight bit of exposition on miss necromorph here

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by that.

>>1044

A vague, unresearched explanation of why she is the way she is.

>>1053

I'm glad I'm leaving the right impression, anon.

>>1067

That's pretty good, man. You should take that challenge request again sometime.

>>1067

As one Anon said – on /v/, I believe– using Ripley's likeness was a very nice touch. That mouth view is especially interesting.

>>1067

Mmmm… thanks for finishing this dude.

>>1068

I'll have to, yes.

>>1069

Yeah, the mouth view was fun.

>>1070

I aim to please, anon.

Now what to do next.

>>1073

Have you ever drawn Tali before? If not, she could be a decent candidate.

>>1074

I haven't, anon. I'm still not over the horrible things they did to the series, though.

>>1077

I know your pain anon.

>>1076

Just ignore the third game even happened, it's what I do.

But what are you thinking about drawing next? If you're planning on drawing anything else, that is.

>>1080

How long have you been drawing? You're better than I thought you were, I only ever saw those simple drawings you did on /v/. Whenever I see your art I think of PTSD batter.

>>1081

All my life, but I only started making a serious effort to really improve over the last couple of years.

I'm still somewhat proud that a piece of my art inspired a small meme.

>>1082

You've got a great talent man, I wish I could be as good as you are in drawing, in anything I dedicate myself to.

>>1080

The details of the actual bones in this are really neat, same with the fabrics.

>>1087

To paraphrase my grandpa: A skill is 10% talent and 90% determination. Talent is just an inclination to do something early in your development.

And thanks, anon. The anatomy is far from perfect, but it's nice to know my efforts are appreciated.

You still there, drawfriend?

>>1103

I am. Been trying a lot of things with limited success.

>>1121

Oh, my ID changed again.

>>1121

If your drawing aren't coming out great then you should take a break for a little while, my sister is pretty good at drawing and she told me that if she draws too much in too short a time span the drawings start gradually getting worse.

>>1124

I gotta draw, anon. It's all I got.

Back again. Probably with yet another ID. Took a break, looking to start doing stuff again.

>>1162

Could you finally do the more on-model Wraith?

>>1162

You should take >>1024 's request again, that was a really neat idea.

>>1175

thanks. I've finally got some days off, so I can finish it.

>>1182

Just a word of advice: don't bite off more than you can chew. I've seen you around a lot on this site for a while and you always seem to have a few WIPs going on at any given time. Don't tire yourself out, anon.

>>1183

Sorry anon. I just get into the drawing groove, and I can't help myself.

>>1185

You could try making him faceless. It's a lazy tactic but it works.

>>1199

I know you probably hear this a lot but I am legitimately glad you come to this site and I enjoy your drawings.

>>1200

Thank you anon. That really means a lot. I don't plan on leaving any time soon.

>>1199

Good work so far.

Also, did you draw her with eyes or am I mistaken?

>>1203

No, just the odd structure of her face.

apologies. I haven't been able to draw anything for over a week now.

>>1207

DRAW SOMETHING IN OEKAKI QUICK

>>1210

>>1211

Great. Now I can welcome the sweet release of death. Or the next day I have off. Either or, really.

>>1212

Shouldn't you have tomorrow off? It's almost Saturday.

>>1213

I may have sunday off, but my new schedule isn't out yet, and I get scheduled pretty erratically.

>>1221

Looking good so far, the Wraith is a bit small, but it's fine.

>>912

I screamed laughing. Holy shit.

>>1221

Looks good! That technique of applying armor lines in red over the blue physique is clever, hadn't seen that before.

>>1166

>>1185

>>1199

>>1221

Goddamn impressive. Keep going!

I want to see how this will look, in the end.

oh hey, people came back.

>>1224

This can be remedied shortly.

>>1225

It just made sense, I guess. Helps you make sure the armor is all covering the right places.

>>1228

I suppose I will.

>>1231

She's a big girl.

>>1231

If she rode the cowgirl position she'd probably crush your pelvis.

>>1234

Sounds about right.

>>1234

It's actually pretty hard to break bones.

She might give you a nasty bruise if she was playing rough, though.

>>1233

Yes. All ya need to do is just thin her out a bit. Like a cola bottle. A real funny one. That's the package, right there.

>>1232

For you.

>>1245

This would be a place, yeah. Unfortunately, I'm the only artfag who seems to visit here, and I'm really fucky about actually being productive.

>>1245

And to clarify, I wouldn't mind doing a picture for you. I'm just a lazy bum who's been creatively drained for weeks which may or may not be the result of Seasonal Affective Disorder, but you don't want to hear my bitching.

>>1246

Alright, thanks. But that's kinda sad, but hey, can't win every battle

>>1247

Nah, it's cool dude. I'm not forcing you to do anything. If you don't feel up to it, then I can live with it.

This place is dead anyways, go ahead and dump anything you wanna say. At worst you'll be called a faggot

>>1248

I would like to, anon, honestly. I can't barely find the motivation to pick up a pen.

>>1250

>Random spoiler that I didn't mean to have

Why am I such a faggot

>>1258

Thanks anon. Now I can stop worrying about /xen/ and just try to get through the winter.

>>1260

Good luck, drawfriend.

>>1261

Yeah. I didn't want to see this board lose even more traffic via loss of the drawthread.

Honestly, I'll try to stick around and see I can manage to make something serious at some point. I'm just in no fit state to try to be something that even vaguely resembles a cornerstone right now.

>>1268

As would I.

>>1269

That's very contemptible of you, anon. The first thing she'd do is ask you why you're wearing them, fully anticipating your even more detestable excuse.

She's like a Durian, anons.

>>1272

Ugly and painful to touch?

>>1273

I was aiming more for "smelly, but by all accounts super fucking delicious".

>>1274

>smelly

Anon, that's an understatement. The smell of a durian is absolutely repulsive. I got what you meant, though. I was just making a joke.

>>1275

Well to be fair, Durians are not particularly attractive and are pretty spiny. It's worth clarifying.

>>1268

Wouldn't it be difficult to do that? I mean, she wouldn't have any breasts, she'd a have HUGE head, creepy arms and weird eyes.

>>1270

But wouldn't hiding the truth be worse than pretending to smell nothing of her foul odor? If I'm willing to accompany her for a walk or two, that should be enough to show her that I'm also willing to get past that.

What about some vaporub under the nose?

>>1284

Who says to pretend?

Maybe you could get used to her scent. Maybe she smells better when "happier".

Why didn't I see this board before? I'm joining!

>>1378

Welcome to /xen/! Enjoy your sssstay.

>>1390

>too late

The thread is still far from dying, anon.

Is that pic from anything or just a random design you came up with? It reminds me of Cthulhu a bit.

>>1393

Haha, I get a bit too carried away with anatomy sometimes.

>>1394

It's fine, it's not like you knew what the original design was anyway.

Oh, and that Flatwoods sketch you posted. What's that thing in the upper left? It somewhat looks like the mask of a plague doctor.

>>1395

I tried to draw the flatwoods monster from the original description. Where people mentioned that it had an elongated sideways diamond head and had an exoskeleton, I couldn't quite picture it though lol.

>>1390

>>1392

I like your style m8. Has a very 90s box art feel.

>>1401

Thanks!

>>1403

Nice! I have to do some female greys sometime soon.

>>1403

oh shit what's wrong with her arms

Anyone have requests?

>>1419

So you want a strider acting coy and blushing?

>>1420

Considering he said it was a joke request, I'd imagine he meant "replacing the dick-cannon with a vagina".

>>1420

>>1421

Why not both?

>>1423

That looks a lot better than I was expecting, actually. Though, I'm not exactly sure what it's doing.

>>1425

looks more pounce-y, to be sure.

>>1425

It's left leg looks a little bit shorter than the other two.

It does looks more like it's about to pounce, however.

>>1426

Thanks!

>>1427

You're right, I can't believe I didn't notice it earlier. Here are a few edits I tried to make (posted on imgur because I don't want to clog the thread with the same images):

http://i.imgur.com/2yUci2c.png

http://i.imgur.com/KE7gBN3.png

I probably can't get it correct since it's nighttime, I'll try sleeping to see if anything clicks with me in the morning. Thanks for giving me critique

>>1429

Personally, I like the second image more.

However, the first image does fit that "pounce" look better.

>>1430

Sorry for not responding earlier, but I like to thank you and everyone on here for the input they gave me. I guess that the second pic will be my final version.

>>1444 (Checked)

It still needs to be cleaned up a bit, just some lines erased. It looks rather messy.

>>1450

The lines are a little messy, but I like it.

>>1452

4U

>>1453

Looks like I'm going to have to practice lines a lot haha. It's all good though, at least I have a good reason to draw more now.

>>1476

>filename of the first one

Who has a girlfriend for just one night?

>>1476

Some anon in the XCOM 2 threads on /v/.

I guess I can take a request, too.

>>1478

sorry, meant that for >>1477

>>1477

Are you saying you want a long-term relationship?

>>1478

Well, considering an anon asked for a Strider from HL2 earlier in the thread, how about another thing HL-related? Like somebody petting a houndeye?

Unless you wanted a lewd request, which in that case I can't think of anything.

>>1478

Why don't you draw some more of that lovely lady? Something passionate involving her large figure, like handholding, staring, or maybe even a little bit of cuddling.

>>1490

>Xenos should be treated as advanced fleshlights

You say this but I'll bet $200 that next time an ayy proposes to you under the strange stars of its native system, you'll swoon like the faggot you are.

>>1490

You disgust me.

>>1491

Why would any alien propose to an arrogant human who thinks nothing more of them than a sex toy?

>>1490

>>1492

There are more important matters, /pol/.

>>1493

Like what, anon?

>>1494

Also, my IDs always keep changing, goddamn it.

>>1493

>calling me /pol/

I said I was disgusted by him, mate.

>>1498

>my ID changed

why

>>1495

I think there's something wrong with the site.

>>1501

It still doesn't answer why they would want to marry somebody like that when they're likely to say "no".

Unless the person was very clearly just being tsundere and actually thought of them as much more than a mere sexdoll.

>>1504

I'd imagine this person wouldn't want to commit to anything and would drop the xeno in two weeks when he finds better pussy, breaking her poor little heart.

>>1507

Oh shit, I remember. My original point was that when you're fucking an insect with a rigid abdomen you can't see them face to face, nor kiss, nor… when you're businessing the abdomen pussy. But I wasn't accounting for any other anatomic peculiarities, like flexible necks.

>>1504

What if their marital partner started being affectionate to them after they got married?

>>1524

Good for the most part, but I have one complaint: the anatomy on the upper torso is kinda weird. I can't pin down exactly what the problem is.

>>1528

I see what you mean, I think I unintentionally bent the spine unnaturally.

>>1515

2lewd

>>1524

>abdomen right there

>vagina is still at the pelvis

Goddammit.

>>1536

Maybe she has several, you just don't see them from this angle.

>>1540

>several

The only one's who should have that advantage are the spiders. Look it up.

>>1529

I remember hearing that a good way of making sure you don't mess up the anatomy of whatever you're trying is to try drawing the skeleton of it first, then draw over that. Because apparently it's far easier to notice anatomy mistakes in a skeleton.

>>1545

I really need to learn construction again, I'll keep that in mind.

>>1553

You say that like once a month, yet here we are.

>>1556

Perhaps it did become slower – even disregarding the image dumps from the beginning.

>>1555

The board did slow down a fair amount, though.

>>1559

>>1558

We've never been that populated, our peak was during the initial time of the draw threads before infinity next almost killed us. which coincided with when a few anons came over from somewhere.

We've floated from between 6 and 25 users on and off since this boards inception.

I will admit that we have almost died, and that's when infinity was porting us over to the new board, that no one wanted to use.

>>1560

At least InfinityNext is dead now, that shit would have legit torn the site apart.

We can rebuild, anons.

>>1561

This honestly.

I'm glad warm tires gave Josh the boot.

The only redeemable aspect about Next, was you can have threads bigger than 751 posts.

>>1504

I just released: how does it hold anything?

It has no fingers.

Its breasts have no nipples

>>1563

The ten-image posting was neat, but Next barely worked. I wonder what HW will do with the site now?

>>1608

Hes supposed to quietly work on it, and fix it eventually.

>>1611

Josh really was a jackass, he didn't even have flood detection on his software.

That "face" reminds me of Baymax

>>1613

Oh, I wasn't saying that as a bad thing. I was just saying what the head reminded me of.

So her voice is like a bell? How does that work?

>>1614

She just wiggles her head, and the ringing can be interpreted into different meanings based on pitch and patterns.

>>1616

I'm not the guy who drew it. I'm just amused by the idea that a creature has a bell for a head.

>>1617

I should probably pay more attention to IDs.

>>1619

>unreachable soft test-tube experiment

Sounds like a really bad translation of something from Chinese.
