oh its the sea emporer
Crystal caves bigger they look
I would add some "fog" to give a sense of distance for the further out creatures. Make them lighter and blend into the background more
Ok, I tried to do that but I feel like I didn't do it strong enough
here's an example. The further out fish take on more and more of the color of the water itself
This looks amazing not gonna lie
Plants…the only flora we see is pink grass
Yeah, I was going to get to work on that, I mean the craftsmanship or the actual feel
it is art?...
Y e s
that feeling when knee surgery is tomorrow
the guy. the grouch.
No it is not. I was just using it as an example of the real world effect of what we were talking about
I can post one of my drawings that has it instead
one sec
Phew
But yeah, the further back the whales are they take on the color of the water. The end of the tail on the nearest one is slightly further away too, so it also is slightly shrouded compared to the front.
You can also see it a little in the boomerang school
Hehe new PFP😋
may i kindly ask what brush you are using?
the artwork looks amazing btw!
Huevember day 18
Elden beast vibes
First thing I saw
@short hedge it was already pinned
Oh thanks discord
🙄
TUNA
stop that!!!
This piece was pinned ages ago
let me unpin again
yeah
It got pinned when i first posted it
He's filling a little silly today
Thy end is now
Might want to lead with that next time because based off of your first comment it seemed like you had pinned this one and Discord just didn't show me.
Anyway, sorry.
Do I draw more bugs from space
Hive tyrant-ish boi
No, I'm sorry
Is photography considered art?
i’d say so!!
Then here you go
I’ll send you daily photography from me personally
It looks great. I love the small details
ooo! i love those!
it's the merker one i think
i used for this drawing the "Ink Roll"
open species oc finished lmk if u want details im making a sheet for the species details soon :3
Professional photography, yes. Quick picture you took with your iPhone, not as much. For that, we have #memes-and-media
Here's a squid species I made if you want more info then DM me.
Architeuthis Colossus
"Titan Squid"
Size: 160 feet [males] 175 feet [females]
fanart for someone
Big fish :]
very cool
I must yoink the cool and cute.
I'd like to see that in the void.
once upon a time i designed a void reaper...
I need an extended version of this I can use as a wallpaper.
🐟
Gawr Gura's Cousin? 😛
Why are there so many art archives
We pin the best of the best Subnautica artworks. Once we reach the maximum amount of pins, we start a new channel.
What happened to tikara?
I’ve seen so many drawings that they made
Why don’t they post anymore?
More to life than Discord, I suppose...
Dumb alien cephalopod I made
Xenomorph and reefback fusion
yeah I can see that
Another piece, came to the unfortunate conclusion that I’m not good at drawing anything Subnautica related unfortunately
sweet
Yoo happy birthday!
Lizard done with fineliners.
Wow that looks amazing
LOL…I just started watching arcane and this is the first thing I see
good for you dude. Anyone who hasn't watched Arcane absolutely needs to. Especially the first season is a masterpiece.
2 or 1 year ago I started season 1 and gave up on episode 3
Currently on episode 5 and I loving it
Because it is the best tv show that exists imo
@atomic quail here are the other two i made earlier btw
Thank you
The first one's the prototype (oc leviathan). Second one's the process of trying to change it up a bit since they look too much like a Yoshi. Third one's a sketch of retrying a new design.
They a friendly giant. Because just like Riley, I needed new pants from the previous hostile ones lol
spidey variant comic cover i made:)
Why did I see a jojo reference just for a second
First one’s named what now?
The first version I had for my leviathan OC. I started calling them Jewel. Not sure if I should keep the name or not. Passive leviathan
i missed my bus
i call this piece "despair"
yippe
I feel this way too often... here, the buses are as inconsistent as me
I'm not criticizing the art, but aren't pins only for subnautica stuff? I could be totally wrong here, feel free to correct me, i have just never seen that before.
The vast majority of things that get pinned are, but if you look through the pins in the rest of the art archives, there are things that are not subnautica related
as far as I am aware, there is no rule about what can and can't get pinned
ok just curious
really old but still subnautica
That looks sick
I finished Jewel 😅
robot gun arm thingi idk
This is sick as hell
Spoilered for her back growths
a watercolor beetle i made 🙂
beautiful hair
that's super well done!! my friends are artists and I have dabbled in it myself and I know how tricky it can be to get faces and hair looking realistic
Yeah dude of course pixel art counts. That's why they call it pixel ART lol
I was going to try to learn it a while ago but never ended up starting
sometimes my OC likes to take on the form of a foreboding, whispering fish
so I decided to draw it :D
That is not pixel art that is a stardew valley room design lol
I havent tried pixelart in years
I am not that talented
Thanks for giving me an idea…I can make pixel art,
In TERRARIA
Atmosphere test for a personal project
Oh my god thank you so much.
Nah that’s just enabled glass shaped like a beetle
intense darktide vibes i like it
Peeper.
ITS SO GOOD
Huevember day 23
This looks so good
ok thx
channel description is your friend
Enjoy the endless streams of enemies
Oh that…lol…I got a jojo stand and a bunch of flying swords to protect me
👍
ryley approved
Some fan art of the crater zone and it was my first time using a new art program
Did you change your pfp?
yes
Looks good 👍
thxxx
I would think so
in the middle of doing this.
i sadly wasnt able to find a lifepod model 😔
woah
That loooks amazing
100%
Bro
Bro people playground modeling doesnt count as art but this does
Also apperantly its random tottaly not like i postioned all of htem using a mouse
Looks really nice…just please put spoilers and a warning because some people don’t like seeing gore
ok
#memes-and-media would be more appropriate 
Screenshots from a game belong in #memes-and-media. That should be simple enough. Posing characters you didn't create isn't enough. Fanart of people's playground would fit this channel, though.
My dough boy, he has been extinguished, he was, could be, and is considered art, yet he was hit with the hammer
Rest in Peace
I know a way to get a lifepod model into blender
also you could use the ryley model found on sketchfab
im gonna use the human generator for the human models since they're more realistic.
where is the lifepod model btw?
There's probably a link to the sketchfab model in the wiki page for Lifepod
i looked all over sketchfab for it but i wasnt able to find any.
Some of them aren't available anymore, and there's no backup :(
😭
wait.
i can port the model from Source filmmaker
got it
now i can remake the first subnautica teaser 🫡
yeah that's what I was gonna say
Looks way better now 👍
💜💜💜
@rich ocean they didn't make that, they stole it... I have dealt with it
Oh damn
Whats the worm looking one?
I don't know, I think he's looking at the player
that's sick
jereboa space girl 
The first one's arm is messed up 😭
Eradicator (the basic one)
The best one
Imo mk2 is better but its only a personal oppinion
I like the sword and don’t like the Mk.IC design
Crabsnake. I recognize those mandibles anywhere.
Five freddy
omg that looks insanely good
Guess what im doing a remake of
heres a hint.
the original was made by unknown worlds a long time ago.
Why?
hmmm.... natural selection?
Some professional food photography for yall
Absolutely some of my best work both in kebabing and in photography
why is it glitchy
Wdym
Oh my camera gets a bit wavy at heat so i used lightroom to make it clear up a bit but it can cause slight issues
Oh so his gets to stay here and mine doesn’t
}:(
I am very disappointed with moderation
ive talked to mods about it, according to them its about if its not just taking a picture. I spend a bunch of time setting up shots and then changing the lighting whenever i do food photography, and have done it for work. Its considered art because of that.
🤨
How much does photography pay usually?
very heavily depends on your experience and how stingy your employer is, at least in freelance
based on my previous experiences, meh. like itll be 5 hours of taking pictures and 2 of setting up shots and then there is editing, which is probably the longest but depends on what you know, but overall if i was to make it into an hourly rate, it can be anywhere from 15/h to 50/h
now im considered an amateur photographer when ive done jobs so if you were more established person you could easily make more
idk thats what they said, if you have a problem politely dm a mod.
Dang thats a pretty penny for photography work
More than worth it, its a ton of work most people cant do, and good food pics massively boost a company’s profits
I'd assume it gets incredibly boring though right?
For example:
Honestly, not really, at least in food photography. You arent just taking pics of food. You have a full set of tricks. Sauces on burgers, for example, are injected with a syringe to look perfect. You cut letuce in a certain way, you change the shape of foods to make them look more full, and backgrounds and editing are very interesting to learn
Hmm I'm not particularly interested in doing photography I'm more so interested in carpentry but it's still interesting to learn about
Do you edit the photos alot digitally or do you use real lighting and tricks more of the time
I wouldnt do it if you arent interested, it really is an art form, but it takes a very large amount of work
Real lighting works better, but editing is important for some shots, its not like you can put a spotlight on a grill. This is with vs without editing on a cupcake pic i did a bit ago, when i was in a small kitchen with no room for artificial lights. I use an app called lightroom for most of my photo editing. In the second photo i changed the lighting, and helped the reds show more like real life
Oh tha5s interesting
This is an older one, the background is a poor choice here.
Definitely should’ve gone with black marble
That's a really cute peeper btw
thanks
We getting jolly in here 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
Frrrrr
Need a jolly reaper next
or literally just this with a santa hat
Noooo a hoverfish!
Tell me a hoverfishing with a Santa hat wouldn't be the cutest thing!
There isn't a hoverfish emoji? That's a crime
Look at him he's just a Lil guy
What should be in the back of the cuddle fish
Like
A small shallow biome?
@lilac gale
Sorry I mean safe shallows probably
exists
did you make this?
yeah
Cuddle fish in space!?!??
I feel I should put a special color for the eyes
Make it extra cutie
Trust @thick drift about lightroom. I took his advice for it earlier lol and it worked great.
such a nice app
this is my example of what i used lightroom for.
looks so much more like it does in person
I need to start painting again...
I told myself I would but still haven't.
Elliott stardew valley anyone?
I'm sorry but he has the least amount of friendship hearts in my main save.
It’s alright, it’s not your fault that you have bad taste <3
So true... I will get full hearts with him tho I swear! 😭
Also epic art! It gets a 10 zoinko points out of 10 from me.
I've done some stuff in Unreal Engine 5 inspired by the ||Architects||.
work in progress
nice
First time drawing Subnautica!! Don’t bully me lol😭
Btw it is better than mine 🥲
lol well now I wanna see🤣
perspective on the reaper looks great. Perspective is hard and i especially have trouble with reapers lol
Thanks brother
Oh yeah I just made it up lol
better than mine
I drew it three years ago and it doesn't look very good in some places (I'm not an artist), but I think it's okay to share🙂
How did you manage to make ryley look more appealing
JESUS CHRIST
Hello. I did this render in Unreal Engine 5.
Redrawn this dude bc i lost the og... Imo this one cooler but legs got resized also its just W.I.P
This is a masterpiece
I think Riley is the worst in that picture 
Nah nah he looks good
they gave him anime eyes
Best ryley
If it's really kind of nice, I guess I'll try to draw some more when I have time👍
"im not an artist" wth dude. That looks absolutely amazing
Bruh. I do it all the time too, but stop telling yourself this isn't good. It is.
I will loose a reaper after you if you do not admit that it is a fantastic drawing lol
@magic agate Hey there. Unfortunately, I had to delete your post, as your game includes copyrighted audio from our game, and the TOS says you cant redistribute any part of our games.
I would highly suggest you remove our audio and any other rips from our game that are in your fan-made version, and rename the game to something other than 'Subnautica'.
We understand you put a lot of effort into this, but we have to protect our own work as well. Thanks!
Ummmmm. It was just two lines of text.
I can recreate it word for word real fast
Scout - "What could be worse than a cave leach?" Driller - "A fate worse than death..." he says, absentmindedly touching his bare chin.
This is what it was. I was responding to the shave leach
"Cafe Stop"
That reminds me of a dream I had where 80% of the lava zone was tight corridors too big for my cyclops
So you had to go in without a vehicle
Wip remake of the top
"Not an artist"
Thats better than most of my subnautica art combined.
A classic
drew some oversized lizards
I didnt like how I drew the ghosty boi the first time
Ok I understand. I'll just remove it out and change it
I...Am Steve
I am begining the journey to recreate my first good piece of art! I still love this image and hope I can create something that at least lives up to it.
It will probably take a few days.
It looks incredible
It was my first art that got a pin
It was an amazing feeling
I consider it the beginning of my skills starting to become what they are now
Yo that’s sick!
It's going ok so far
Doing this is really making me appreciate how phenomenal it was for its time.
It has been much harder to try and make something on it's level than I thought it would be
lil alt thing
based
Correction: it will not take this long lol. It is going pretty dast now.
fast*
That's sick
These look so cool
Here are some size references for the Precursor submarine 'The Prototpye' being modded into Subnautica 1 by me and a few others ^^
Is it possible to put mods on subnautica in PS4?
Lego Seamoth
What, where did you buy it?
I made it my self from official lego parts
I’m a moc builder
Nice
There should be a Lego subnautica collection
Yeah that’s true
silly little doodles
holy god, that's bigger than i thought it was!
How is this art and apperantly when i make a sculpture in a video game and post it, ITS not art! But this is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
bro
its a 3d animation created by them
a sculpture in the game is you manipulating the game someone else made
An animation made by you is something you created yourself
I don't know if music is considered art, but I want you to hear a song called Polos Opuestos - LosNiñosDelCaminito. It's my friend's and my friend's music group, it's Spanish underground rap
you made the game?
give me instructions NOW
unfortunately no
Subnautica- Coal Inventory Icon
Can be used for the Base Furnace
More effective than Thermal Plants, but pollutes the water around your base.
Is this for a mod to a different game? Or a separate thing entirely?
Or a subnautica mod?
Mod for Subnautica mod ideas I've had
cool
The third option! 😄
I was just wondering cause it looked pixely
but the more i looked at it i realized icons that small would be
they usually are
when zoomed down they are more realistic looking because our brains perceive them as more compact
the smaller they are lol
I made some icon thingies just for fun. I just make them full resolution just 'cause. I wrote details for what all of them do but don't remember by now.
They are: O2 Hose, Repair Drones, Smoke Screen, Phase Booster, Stasis Cannon. All seamoth upgrades
The difference 💀💀
Leenk
Oh hell nah that is a hard build it took me 5 hours to make
Makes me want to design a larger one...
what?
they look nothing alike
no they don't
the parts used are totally different
take more than half a second before you go accusing people of lying and faking things
it's not very nice to do that
First of all they are not even similar second thats fake lego and my seamoth is made of official lego parts
Well... I am starting to think this was a stroke of genius that I cannot replicate lol. I just cannot get my new drawing to have the same majestic scale of size. It just isn't having the same feeling right now.
I'll probably have it posted tomorrow night.
Maybe I'm just being hard on myself
The animation is so smooth…keep the great work 👍
Nice icons! I know it is sometimes hard to make icons say exactly what they represent.
Yeah idk it was my first time trying it out
actually thats kind of a lie
i did this previously
sort of similar
guys I drew my Architect sona.
Love the face 👍
The time for jolly is now!
The re-done reefback leviathan
I am so very disappointed in it
It just isn't as good...
uggghhhhh
this is really depressing
@thorn lily
what its so good tho
rate
It just is no where near as good as the original I made almost a year ago
I’ll be honest…the lights are way better and the person also looks better…but the reefback is better in the old one
indeed
Masterpiece
Yay
The credits for your drawing (pixel art) is in my bio
Inspired By @dense nacelle
The Cyclops Magnet Upgrade:
Once installed, there will be a hole under the center of the Cyclops. Inside will be a monitor, with 2 buttons and 4 switches, the buttons indicate if you want the magnet to be off or on, and the switches indicate how strong you want the magnet to be. There is 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% strength, the 25% strength is used to lift small rocks, fragments and metal salvages, the 50% strength is used to lift big rocks and bigger fragments like the Cyclops Engine Fragments, the 75% strength is used for emptying small wrecks, lifting leviathans like the Reaper Leviathan and Juvenile Ghost Leviathan, and the 100% strength is used for lifting big leviathans like The Sea Dragon, Reefback Leviathans, etc. and emptying big wrecks. Do know that the more the strength, the more power usage from your Cyclops, esecially 100%, it can use more than half of your Cyclops' power. One of the biggest and best upgrades for the 50-foot sub.
Recipe:
x2 Titanium Ingots
x1 Ion Power Cell
x5 Grav Traps
OOOoooh!
Do you mind if i remake it?
I like that idea and haven't done an icon in a while
of course bro
thanks 🙂
i mean its my first time trying to design stuff
Okay I found another bro's with who's ideas Me and @lusty totem can make mod for subjautica
aight i also added a description about the upgrade above
And retau made some prawn arms and modules and I made fan creatures
nicee
That's what creatures I have rn
yoooo the limestone crab is such a good concept
Diamond octopus: Hell naw
yh it also looks rly good all of them do
I need more leviathans species
i mean i had an old idea i drew on my phone i think i can find it
Best I remember Retau did is stasis rifle prawn hand. And some glider and seamoth upgrades
stasis rifle upgrade would be insane fr
Ik
I think Diamond octopus is my best detailed creature. Shrimpodius is best creature I made. And Leaf-Gin is the cutest one
leaf gin is the cutest one frr
He used to be on ground cuddlefish
Shrimpodius kinda the oldest creature. His idea coming already from 2020 when I first time heard about Silence Leviathan
If I could draw like ClubEar I were she happiest
i made another upgrade concept
seamoth auto-pilot upgrade
recipe:
x1 Computer Chip
x1 Advanced Wiring Kit
main issue is your perspective really
I actually thought i did pretty well there lol
you shouldn't be able to see the top of the reefback if you're seeing as much as you are of the bottom
I guess so
I have some aswell
I sent the wrong version of the last one
like tbh from these distances 3d objects become kinda 2d
except yours still warps and rounds out a little
Mine?
but yeah the perspective isn't the worst thing the more I look at it, what are your main problems with it? @dense nacelle
Ummmm...
I don't know it just doesn't have the same feel to it
it looks less majestic
Lighting
Also here is a biome I thought of
The thing with them was though, for one thing light rays aren't fuzzy like that, second the rays are actually coming from different dirrections which would not happen underwater. I just did it cause it looked cool and now i see why i did lol. It looks much lamer without it.
then idk sorry can't rlly give you more feedback, my expertise is with 3d and rendering not drawing
maybe a nice detail would be to add some small fish and schools of fish to sell the scale a little more
It also is just that I used to draw in a completely different style than i do now
and yeah i was gonna do that
what's the difference
Idk but i do. different brushes. different ways of going about shapes and textures
Everything worked out well on this one
this is my best recent piece.
much, much better
yeah
Wow its amazing
that one's a lot better than the reefback ones
indeed
I am extremely happy with it
(Robin went on steroids though, apparently lol. Forgot it wasn't Rylie.)
some of these feel like modded items
I think thatss the point
Yeah that's the point

So just filled up spaces?
It was just drawn over the exterior because im bad at recreating shapes
Btw
The Rimor is based off a deep sea lantern fish
You should add lights to the sides
All I see from here are the front lights
Good idea
Some original ideas for it were for it to be like an angler fish (female) or an oar fish
Moar lights

1000 energon stare
I just realized something abt my art
You can literally see that I'm left handed by how the right side of the page is so much better than the left side
Drawing on the left side of the page while being left handed is like trying to draw on a wall-mounted chalkboard

Hey you still got the seamoth warp
Fastest ref I ever done 😭 helps when 80% of the character isn’t effected by light
that is so damn cool
Just here to randomly appear and compliment someone’s art
Looks really good. Love the black hole design. It’s simple but yet so wonderful
Thank kew 
He made it
It does sometimes amaze me how much can be done with the default brush. I have begun using a variant of it for almost everything, but it is slightly modified
All of the coloring and texturing on these is done with the default brush that has blending applied.
I remember a very old message on this server, Someone was going to combine the leviathan bones in subnautica to see if they could replicate what the ancient leviathans could've looked like.
as in an almagamation of all of them?
Yes
huh
I did a few concepts of each individual ones a long time ago. Here's this one.
I dont remember if they ever made it though.
Nice
and theta
||this would be the one in the one ailien structure in the lost river right? (i forgot the name of it)||
yes
Interesting
I posted the skull next to it. for comparison
No amount of context can explain this drawing of mine 🤣
So…you’re crazy?
I was crazy once. They put me in a room…a rubber room. A rubber room filled with rats. Rats make me crazy. Crazy? I was crazy once. They put me in a……
did you make those yourself?
yeah. They are really easy to make lol
It's not complicated at all
It's basicly just a blue circle with the middle erased by an airbursh. Then just draw the shape in blue, shade the lower edges and highlight the upper edges.
that's mostly it
I know a number of mod makers who would be very interested in your assistance if you'd be interested
since the quality of those icons is very high
I'd be fine with making more icon thingies for people
*Once
art for a friend
a wman
Which mods?
Nice 👍
Well I know there are some vehicle mods being worked on, but people who are good at replicating Alterra icons are always welcome in the modding community
I might suggest you upload some of your work to the collaborations chat in the Official Subnautica Modding server so people can see your work ^^
Can anybody make like a concept art for one of those monsters me and my friend made a bit ago?
Specifically the chef ham if possible
I shall do that

Thank you so much for saying i should do this. I immediately found a place to make stuff for when I posted there, so thank you.
No worries!

O
Do i see a dead green toast there? (Zombie)
Mb then!
Looks like fish toast
Yes, a commission from a friend who's character a green toast with a fish in it!
This is not an insult, but it looks like the gill man and a piece of toast had a baby
Still, all of the pieces LOOK SO GOOD
Oh no, ik u didnt mean it as an insult haha
Awe! Thank you!
Still wanna improve more
Im a toast too
Toasty

I still need to pixel a peeper
I forgot about it for sometime because i needed to focus on other things
Like school
improved a previous art piece of my OC having a snaccc
Sea moth goes too far into the crash zone
does music count as art
yes i believe so
yo wth that looks sick
I would say so but I don't think others would
thanks
I could see something like this happening in the second game
Imagine seeing this in the abandoned life pods
If that is so, my horror art will be very happy
i'd cry
also maaaaybe spoil art that has to do with body modification idk it freaks some people out
idk tho
i'm not a mod qwq
I’d stare at it
Ah I did not know that, I’ll put a spoiler on it then
Here’s a spoiler version.
sorry i'm just weird and sensitive to eyes and body stuff 😭💔
hate that I could tell exactly what the animation was gonna be based entirely on the shade of yellow that it is
Are you telling me if I ever show any funny Martians from warhammer it has to be spoilered
The funny robotic Martians
I get the ground type because of all the salt in those peanuts
How many auto bots have you killed this week
Also peanuts grow underground
they grow on trees normally
huh
never seen underground peanuts. only ever seen tree peanuts
Oh man idk
strange. I have been enlightened 😲
Weapon concept go brrr
This is the inside of my brain (1st time using digital art)
What if a PDA mutated into a creature
We love crying in subnautica when a reaper comes at us, why not more!
this is the first time i draw anything other than really cartoony stuff ( like pvz1 etc ) , i will gladly accept any criticism and try to improve
Beautiful! I assume this is SN artwork?
yeah ig ( also thank u veri much )
Sorry for the accidental question mark lol. I love the plants and the terrain!
I played Subnautica for the first time in months and got inspired to draw my own biome concepts to practice background painting
I love the color scheme!
Yeah I was going for a ‘dark neon’
reminds me of moana 2 tbh
I haven’t had a chance to watch it yet no spoilers!!
But if it’s comparable, it makes me both even more excited to watch the movie and happy with my art capabilities
have you seen the trailers?
Just one trailer, the one that revealed Moana’s little sister, other than that I have largely avoided the trailers because I like to go into movies blind
It’s in theatres in town perhaps I will go tonight!
A second art piece concept for this biome
Ooooooooo
Floaters casually growing legs in order to run away
I haven't actually played the game but i've watched videos about rainworld. It looks like something from there
cool lookin
pvz1 pult thingies i made
Pretending it hasn't been ages since I worked on this critter and that I only added a checklist and the Peeper lure 
Oh that would be so, so cool you’re just in the abyss and you’re swimming and suddenly there’s… a peeper, usually a sign of safety, what the hell is it doing down here? You go to grab it with food only for it to whisk away and get replaced with the jaws of death
Exactly why I changed the original bulb to be a Peeper! :]
Since logically Riley would more than likely know it was another creature if it was just a plain bulb, I changed it to a Peeper to give a false sense of security
And I plan on perhaps adding more lures like in the original (based upon the Chinese dragons I believe) to make it seem like a school of Peepers
I drew this years ago but hadn't shared it so... here ya go!
Coloring looks really good
Thought u just printed a paper out cus it is that good 💀
Paper mache reaper I'm working on :))
Nice job
Looks really cool! Can't wait to see how it turns out
Thanks lol
You should make plushies for the next subnautica game
Thanks! I'll be sure to post an update if I get around to finishing it
Thank you mysterious eye
Your welcome
@elfin forum your profile picture makes me want nesquick chocolate milk
I get that alot, I would send you some if I could
I'm only slightly addicted to anything chocolate milk
Chocolate milk is like heavy addictive
The worst part about it is when your cup of it empty’s and you have to refill it
The latest teaser for the Subnautica 1 mod: 'The Prototype'!
Ooo glowy
omg its beautiful
Thank you! :))
Show us the end result as soon as possible
I'll try dw, I still have to shape it with some clay then paint :p
I don't know why I chose a whole entire reaper as my first paper mache project
I would love to have a little paper mache reaper
Big scary monster aaa
Creature
The creature feature
I finished another biome concept, this being the Burnt Spirals Biome
I would love to have that one in S2, looks really good, nice work👍
Thanks! I have been composing a doc of ‘what if I had the resources to make my very own DLC’ complete with biome ideas like this one, mechanics ideas, tools, vehicles, flora and fauna, and of course protagonists and a story
It’s so far over 5K words!
wow.
The hyperfixation has taken hold
“Glow slime are a species of protosteloid amoebae, which have formed a symbiotic relationship with the brunt spirals fungi. The amoeba get food in the form of the burnt spirals’ spores, as well as any bacteria, which in turn minimize the burnt spirals’ spread so they don’t grow in such an abundance that would prove harmful to the overall environment, which would come back and harm the spirals themselves in the end. The burnt spirals also get bacterial protection.” -notes
Dang. got a nice-looking picture AND a PDA entry!
A WIP of one yes!
get ready for some pixel art I made a while back, when I first started playing Subnautica on my ps4...
As you can probably see, never made pixel art before 😅
featuring... the creature
mango mango mango those who know
I mean... the Mangofier is kinda like a Mango-pult. That is if you really squint your eyes hard enough.
I made a breathing animation (loops perfectly)
noice
gargantuan and liddle seamoth (gonna colour when im bothered)
I also have a scary monster, his name is Pob:
Logo thing i made for an assignment
The no background makes the image look like this
Great work tho 👍
huh
well im gonna put it on a magazine
it's a fake brand
so that won't be an issue
A WIP of the starting area of the hypothetical DLC I’d make if I had the resources
Still gotta add the divers and I wanted to try to fit in a creature for this biome resting on one of the roots getting inspected by the diver
But the whole thing still seems pretty bland and boring, and not really alien-y, does anyone have any suggestions for what I could add to the biome concept to make it look more exciting?
It gonna be like 20 pages hopefully so not sure if i will be able to post it. The cover i will though.
how big are those vines?
Big enough that if it was above water, you’d be able to walk on them!
big enough to swim through comfortably?
The idea is this is a safe area because the gaps in the vines are big enough for the player to swim around pretty easily but large predators wouldn’t fit
ok
I was thinking some kind of bioluminescent bead curtain under the vines that you could swim through would be neat
Oh that would be neat!!
Which fits because the bright green spots along the “roots” are bioluminescent
And at night it looks like the entire area is filled with green stars
ok cool
When you scan the roots the PDA is gonna tell you they aren’t actually roots, rather large mycelium breaching the surface from some deep underground location well beyond the scanner’s reach.
The mycelium is incorporating algae species into it, giving it that green colour, and allowing it to take energy as the algae converts energy from the sun via kleptoplasty
Finished up, decided to add the bubble curtains to the sub biomes of this biome, as I couldn’t get them to look right in this piece. Anyways here is the concept art for the ‘Daylight Roots Biome’
That's so fire, good job! 🔥
Thank you!!
Ooh, this seems like the perfect biome for some kind of carnivorous plant. Like a venus fly trap. Small ones that munch on peepers and such... but occasionally a much larger one.
I could see a fun game mechanic being the creature you drew being the sort to gnaw on deposits of certain materials, sorta like stalkers, but with limestone. (Possibly related to one another evolutionally.) Then there'd be a reason for the larger flytraps to lure creatures and/or divers in with fake deposits.
There’s actually a completely separate biome that utilizes this mechanic inspired by the real life anemone, as per my notes:
“Update, I just learnt that the venus flytrap sea anemone exists and I wonder if there should be a biome based off of all kinds of carnivorous plants. Pros: it would be neat and terrifying. Cons: possibly too much like the Shadow Rivulet Biome.”
The Daylight Roots is The Elysian Zone’s ‘Safe Shallows’, so it would probably be a little mean to the player to make the starting area have The Horrors™️ right off the bat
Then again Subnautica gave us the crashfish in Safe Shallows and it’s scared me more than anything else in the entire game the first time I played before I learnt it’s unable to make turns and if you swim at it and past it, it can’t turn around fast enough to blow you up
I read it as the Crappler
yeah lol i literally just fixed it
much better now i think
Looks great wish I could draw biomes that good I can draw creatures just not biomes
I can't draw environments at all
I can draw creatures okay, just not that small, it looks a little.. pixelated and grainy, I’ll have to redraw that creature on its own canvas later
I had an idea for a similar biome but never could draw it did draw a leviathan for it
I’ve only started doing these biome concepts a few days ago, I’ve done backgrounds in the past but they’ve always were meant to be fairly simple and not the main focal point of the piece, but alas the hyperfixation demands biome concepts to have visuals for my info doc
Fr
I wish I could draw as well...
Would help convey my ideas a lot better
Only one recourse Ai assisted image generation
My advice when it comes to drawing creatures is look at real life inspirations like animals plants even fossils and microscopic creatures
That’s what this creature was inspired on!
I mixed around a leafsheep and a leafy sea dragon
I can tell it fits well
My leviathan was based off a viper fish a dragon fish and a angler fish
I love deep sea creatures their so alien look lol
Ever heard of a dumbo octopus it’s so funny looking
Hehe yes they are so, so silly looking
Papa Roanoak will be horrified
Here’s the drawing for anyone curious
Papa Roanaoke will be notified that a new species of anglerfish has been borne from the depths.
I fr had to look that name cause I didn’t know who he is💀
I didn't expect you to honestly
My leviathan is call the serpent leviathan it would live in a deep yet color biome similar to deep sea coral reef
He does horror movie monster breakdowns as well as bactetial/virus explanations
Cool
The serpent leviathan is fast but because of its small mouth it often can face difficulty catching larger prey that where the light comes in similar to angler fish the serpent leviathan would lie in wait for a unsuspecting creature to grabs its lure mistaking it for food then it would attack
If the prey is large enough say another leviathan the serpent leviathan will wrap itself around it crush the prey item with deadly force breaking bones and causing internal bleeding
It will also do this to large submarines
Like a snake?
I’m trying to think of more leviathans and creatures to add to my biomes
Are you guys modders?
I have zero modding skills lmao-
Granted!
I have never tried
I don’t even have a pc tho so it’s definitely a hurdle
coding is for people with much larger craniums than I have.
I'm xbox myself
The issue i think is how simple the teacher can make the process for you
Small digestible bites of knowledge is best imo
Understand the concept and build off them
I have no intention of learning to code in any case. Imma' stick to drawing 🙂
I did a bit of coding class, and it was very much Not Fun
Granted when I did it I was unknowingly going through severe withdrawal so perhaps if I tried again it wouldn’t be as bad- but I’m more of an artsy writer come up with story and ideas kind of guy
Same
I am also an ideas guy
Drawing? Can do. Rendering? Absolutely! Coming up with complex characters and Plot? Yep! Describing to you The Lore and all the xenobiology? Sure thing!
Code? insert the Patrick hammering a piece of wood into his own forehead gif
I am not good at in depth story
Interconnecting and interweaving a complex story is beyond me
Plot holes galore
I imagine it like a helix, that connects to the main story line every so often
Especially when I can make fun little callbacks to other established pieces of lore
Your a good story writer it seems, and you have a passion for it which is even better
Expressing your passion is a project is important
Ideally the consumer should be able to feel that passion
And, best of all, it makes me excited and happy
The apex of it all
Enjoyment of what your doing in my opinion is what seperates it from a job and a hobby
Yeah I’m just doing this because the hyperfixation says it’s where the dopamine is at
And I think it’s wonderful practice as an artist to try things I don’t normally do!
Definitely gonna have to share some of my story concepts for these biomes somewhere it would be great help to get some feedback and ideas
Here's this right now for the cover.
the grey border is not part of it btw
a quick sketch I did like 10 minutes ago
it was supposed to be a cover but no more inspiration 
random sketch idea for Thalassophobia simulator 2
what's thalassophobia simulator 1
Subnautica
I need help, I don’t feel like finishing it, and I don’t like how it turned out, it’s too flat but there’s nothing I can do because of where the viewer is
Maybe add a boat passing by i dont know
It’s the whole thing in general, the position of the viewer makes it look 2D, and the only way to fix that is to start over, I did love the ship being captured though : (
thing i made for a friends bday 
Peeper Guy (not finished, a lot of progress&improvements on the way)
peak
I can’t draw draw hands for the life of me
There's actually a pretty easy way to draw a hand pointing at the viewer, found the best description in https://www.wikihow.com/Draw-a-Pointing-Hand
My Architect sona
oh wow thats cool
Archisona thats new
I don't think I've ever posted but I'm VERY excited for the new game to come out, so here are some weird lil guys I drew while I wait 
Those are great!
I cannot replicate that professional cleanness of that kind of art at all.
beautiful!!!
Also I have a softspot for cuttlefish so I love the red guy
Love cuttlefish!!! Finding pictures of different animals to inspire me for these was half the fun tbh
They are the greatest lil' sea creatures
VERY WIP AND NOT DONE
(most)assets by unknown worlds
armadillo fish
WAIT
I need more
wgar
This is Hella sick man
coding is for people willing to repeatedly slam their head on a wall and use github
BREATHTAKING
The designs are awesomeee 😄
The creature on the bottom right reminds of the pufferbirds from Journey to the Savage Planet xD
Storming Weather Controll
I wish i could shade that good lol
Gyatt?
Nah I’m kidding
But
Looks cool
Kinda freaky in my opinion (no offense)
Dumb cephalopod I made
Molly??
Smolly
Attack on Hoverfish
Holy! That looks really good!! What did you use to animate for this?
I see, and ofc! :D
omg lol
Just a sketch, not gonna really finish it :p
very nice!
weird little dudes!! im lovin em!!
the one with bug eyes reminds me of those little chihuahuas
Chat what should I draw
Maybe try to be crative and combine multiple creatures into one? The first thing that came to mind haha
I have ani idea for what I'm doing
It's called the lurker leviathan, it lives in a new biome called the rift, a very thin trench through the center of the map, and grabs onto the walls and uses its arms as springs to launch itself and stab its prey with its beak
we do a lil doodlin'
Noice 👍
oh i want that, that sounds awesome
Incomplete*
How is that a doodle its so good 
It's a doodle because I haven't started rendering
Ooh that makes sense.
we've rendered it
I can't tell if they're a guy or a girl
angry eel scientist guy Eli!! 
Mug 🍺
I’m confused…they are a eel, but they still have some sort of cat/dog ears
Also, is that a robot claw hand? Looks cool 👍
theyre a type of ears that are most common on most aquatic characters that people make. i did mean to make them a bit longer and skinnier (also tyty)
PROGRESS
simple shading practice
Simple 💀
this actually took about 15 minutes for me though
"simple" in the largest quotation marks known to man.
And 15 minutes??!!? Such a long period of time i can hardly comprehend it!!
1, 2, skip a few, and now you have a simple shading practice!
that is not simple :(
if you understand line weight, shading, planes and perspective, it can actually be simple
Thought I'd share my most recent art piece, as a person that struggles with their hands, I can't help but feel proud of it.
Artists on their way to call something complicated simple for the 1018329292292020228th time
yo anyone got an actual good tutorial on how to color well lmao (i need my leviathans with some color :( )
Small w.i.p
then you aint ready for the return of the ancient mod
wooooooooooo
bro
ops forgor its spoilers
let me tell you i played it before its released and my pants turned from bright white to taco bell bathroom brown
wow thats beautiful
sick
Can I pet that dawg?
That looks so good dude
no you cant but very talented drawing im impressed
Tyyyyyy :D
