Bone Calcibus

The Calci are a colonial race of microscopic semi-corporeal entities that gather together in the trillions to form the Calcibus, a powerful hive mind which acts as a single voice for the colony, and as such is often viewed by others as an individual entity. In addition to this the Calcibus has the power to incorporate inanimate objects into its body, to create a projective shell for its occupants, and as means of further interacting with the corporeal world. Dozens of myths surround the Calcibus, with many cultures mistaking them for ancient golems and demonic guardians of the underworld.

The design and inspiration of the Calcibus came form some recent animal skull studies I had been doing over the last month (which I‘ll post at a latter date), as well as the mythology of the golems.

Zear Tark Roost on Tearah Torah

The landscape above was inspired by the sentient bird creatures I had recently finished designing, the Zears. After drawing the Zears I started to think about how they might live and what their homeworld might look like. My idea was that they would live in large communal nests, similar to a bee hive or dove cote, built from the ground up with mud and sticks like a house martians nest cup. This giant mud structure would then be used as a towering vertical city, which would dominate the surrounding savanna landscape.
