BONUS CONTENT: Sketchbook: Kaagan-Vas
A few more alien designs for the flashback Kaagan-Vas. Interestingly, when doing these creatures, I had to keep reminding myself to leave areas on the back of the heads/necks for the actual KV symbols. It’s kinda surprising the number of concepts where I started to put horns or other shapes down the spine, only to realize that would interfere with the KV mark.
I did decide that maybe in some cases, aliens with horns back there might file them down or in other ways slightly modify themselves to accommodate the marks, but I ultimately didn’t end up showing any of that. I just settled on aliens with clear necks.
Filing their horns to place the mark would be a sign of dedication and make for a Bad Ass look.
It would also tell the reader that the KV have a strict policy about the marks: No exceptions, everyone gets a mark on the same place.
