Civilian:
Mind controlling pollen
Harmony between machine and nature
flower filaments connectors
Mucalinda petals
The Unfallen bows down and unfurls their petals to unveil the "civilian" form
Arms rotate around the halo ring

 Military
Meant to make the flower bud a more spiral shape, but I kind of forgot.
I feel like I'll need to clarify this. That right "arm" is a gun/cannon.

Medium Ship
Turrets rotate around the ring.
Jet propulsion at both ends of the ship.

Large ship
Weapons systems to be placed on the forward portion of the ship where the indentations are.
The flower on all these ships are the Unfallen as the merge with the machine.


The author may add other images to their thread or add descriptions if they so wish. Feel free to ask questions!

Please don't look at that image! It's hideous! Look at this one instead.

Also here is the description I forgot to include, if the developers would be so forgiving.

Takes on this form to better communicate and relate with the more humanoid lifeforms.

Just imagine a Souls-game set within the Endless universe.  Ah, truly that would be the perfect blend of my two favourite genres wishing gaming.


Lovely art radlawnmower, particular enamoured with the military unit.

You know, its the same for me.


I could see myself being beaten to death by the military Unfallen concept in Dark Souls.


Interesting choice of colours but perhaps more so is the choice of shape for the ships, they are... very unique. 


Beautiful comes to mind but then Horatio steps in and backhands me - which I cannot get away from a feeling of beauty/Horatio in the designs.


Truly... and interesting concept you have and a bit surreal - in regards to the civilian look.

Thanks for the compliments everyone. You wouldn't believe the amount of iterations it took to finally settle on this design. If there wasn't an inevitable submission date, I would've probably kept iterating until my death.

One of the most original proposals. Go in my top three. :)

Sadly, with each iteration I kept straying further away from the the original concept to the point where it no longer resembles Devildogs original concept. I thought there were going to be a dozen space groots and I would need to do something to set my submission apart visually. Turns out there wasn't even a dozen submissions and straying so far is probably be more of a hindrance than a boon.

I really hope you mean that in a positive way.

While a spent many days working on the Civilian design and quite a bit of time working on the Military, I barely spent time on the ships,  and I'm worried that it shows. Still, I tried to keep the designs consistent with the other two designs with the rings and the curvature.

I think you definitely got me beat on ship designs and earned your solidified position in the top three.

A good chunk of the military design was last minute. It was originally supposed to have six cannons (because you can never have enough cannons) but drawing that cannon at six different angles was just going to be way too time consuming. I also spent way too much time trying to get those feet right (and never really did). Here, take an older model.
