#karyta — Public Fediverse posts

The Karyta once believed the spirits of the ocean punished them for leaving the depths and seeking what lay above. Whenever they ascended too high, a strange illness befell them and made them turn back. However, ... (1/2) . #art #mermay #sci-fi #DarkArt #Karyta #EB7

Shaded version 👀

#Karyta are an original species of my sci-fi world. They can emit light and produce electricity - soft impulses for communication and strong shocks to hunt and fight.

Shaking hands isn't recommended.

Usually, when I try to get back into art, I sketch random people of my #Karyta species. Why? I have no clue. Maybe because they're fun and comparatively easy to draw.

I'll shade them too, mh-hm.

Handholding sketch 🫱🫲
Darker hand belings to an #Arka.
Lighter hand belongs to a #Karyta.

Probably #EB7 and #Leshky - who knows.

Inspired by @ina. Thank you for making the suggestion <3

This is #EB7 (e-be-seven) - a character from my world. Their peculiar name is a "translation" to make it more accessible for vocal species. EB7's true name is a series of electric impulses: 111010110111

Feel free to guess how the names are connected~

When they first discovered that another species existed on their planet, #Karyta and #Arka became enemies very quickly. They are opposites in many ways, but the finger-gap is one small (useless) thing they have in common. They also share the stripes - in light and dark.

Additional thoughts on the finger arrangement of #Karyta and #Arka:

The small gap between the 2nd and 3rd finger is something that could hint at (very early) common ancestors, but they mainly have it, bec I wanted them to share a few inconspicuous morphological traits - something you'd only notice on second glance.

Hand comparison 🫶

The left one belongs to my #Arka species and the right one to the #Karyta. Those two share the same planet, but one species is terrestrial and the other is aquatic.

You see the small gap between the 2nd and 3rd finger? Both have it, even though the Karyta have those noodly fingers and webs.

Not gonna lie, this won't end well.

A land dwelling #Arka meets an aquatic #Karyta. They live on the same planet, but they are very different.

Both species belong to my #WorldOfKrim

Here are some HANDS! 🫶

Which species do they belong to?
1st: #Karyta
2nd: #Arka
3rd: #VarUSan
4th: #TarNex (lower arms)

And in case you were wondering: Yes, all my species & characters are from the same universe & are in some ways connected.
9 species are part of the federation, called Araz - #ZhorKhat, #Arka & #Karyta are part of it.
1 more species is extinct, the #Srella, known as "the old ones", whose legacy is used as a common ground (e.g. the simplified version of their language, standards for time & distances, & technology).
And then there are 2 more + human colony c:

Later on, they learned more signs and were able to have full conversations.

Nowadays, it's very common on Yr'takia, their planet, to learn the sign language and the alphabet in addition to their native tongues.
Unfortunately, Karyta aren't able to produce words, so they can try to understand, but never speak on their own. However, there are devices that can transform their electric impulses into speech and vice versa.

@GoodNewsGreyShoes
In the beginning, the most prominent sign was "ry" which is an abbreviation for "rygis" and means "peace". It can be written with symbols and signed with a hand gesture - one hand is held like you would wave to another person, but frozen vertically, and the other hand is held horizontally in front of it. They used this a lot when they encountered each other unintentionally, just to show that they won't attack.

@GoodNewsGreyShoes
Regarding their language: You're right about the sign language! That's the first thing #Arka & #Karyta learned from the #ZhorKhat. The latter were the 3rd species to intervene and luckily were much more advanced already (think cowboys VS aliens :D). That's why they managed to figure out their languages quite quickly and tried to act as a bridge. Still wasn't easy though xD

@GoodNewsGreyShoes
And for #Karyta & #Arka who reside on space stations - like the gigantic "Set Il Rega" - they sometimes even stick together, as they consider each other more familiar in comparison to other inhabitants. And they share a language most others can't comprehend~

Glad you like it c:

Their relationship improved over time! There are still areas on their planet where people are stuck in their beliefs (and development). Old habits die hard. But especially in more international areas (and I mean international in terms of "open for alien guests and trade"), #Karyta & #Arka live and work side by side with little to no hassle.

To their defense, they had no way of communicating. #Arka are acoustic, like humans, and #Karyta communicate via electric impulses.

And "the Age of Landing" (when Karyta first discovered land) happened during a time when both species were less civilized than humans are today.

Thank you <3

Ah I think I have never linked a full body drawing here with their hashtag. I'll do so at some point - but I can say - where #Karyta have no legs, #Arka have four 😂

Yes, exactly! And how did they react when they first learned of each other.. uhm... badly. Absolutely badly. They tried to annihilate each other, to the point where a third (alien) species had to step to stop them.

#Inktober - Dream.
I decided to do my own interpretation of the prompts, mixing them with characters and lore from my world.

[#EB7] has been dreaming about the surface since they were a child. They heard stories of the endless light and the dangers beyond the glittering wall. They didn't stop until their dream came true.

Ok, I did something in - *shock* - color.
It's a [#Karyta] under water.. they glow.

Just imagine looking into the depths and seeing this creatue staring back at you.

[EB7] & "friend".
they have a situation here.

maybe you remember [#EB7], they are an individual of the [#Karyta] species who live in the oceans of [Yr'takia], an alien planet.
when the [Karyta] first reached surface, they encountered a whole new world - including the [#Arka], the land dwelling species of the planet.

some #sketch of [#EB7]. they are an alien of the species [#Karyta], water-based beings who communicate via electric impulses. might electrocute you accidentally.

when I reached the surface, the world I knew had come to an end. above me, like liquid stone, loomed a wall. it moved rhythmically with the water around me. it shimmered and spun, loud and bright. I felt that overwhelming dizziness again. I saw the brightness. it called to me.

#WorldOfKrim #Karyta

[#EB7] (pronounced "e-be-seven") is a [#Karyta], which is a water-based alien species that originates from [Yr'takia]. their strange name "EB7" is some sort of abbreviation for [111010110111], which is even stranger.

the reason for this is the Karyta's way of communication. they do not "talk" by using acoustic signals, but a combination of fast electric impulses and bioluminescence. the latter mostly conveys emotions...

"I feel dizzy again. the water is different here, I am certain. the creatures are strange. the plants are nothing like I've ever seen before. but the most frightening thing is the light that shines from above. it becomes stronger with every span I ascend. it warms my skin. it blinds my eyes. I feel light, too light. lightheaded. they said, I'll never make it. they promised me death.
but they are wrong. I'll go slower, but I won't stop."
