Lo and behold! One of my most recent linearts that I, as a matter of prudence, gave to Jasmo for colours! And I so knew it was the right decision, just look at how beautiful this came out! I can't even!

Anyways, I've had this brand-new idea for one of my oldest original species, the Ctholina, where they like, use huge bioships to travel the universe. Andromeda here, "Empress of Shjeol ", was never intended to become a pilot but I can imagine she'd be great at being one. Here's a bit of info I've written down, to sum up my new ideas:

  A bioship is a type of spacecraft or starship. Bioships differ from other types of spacecraft in that they are composed, either predominantly or totally, of biological components, rather than being constructed from manufactured materials. Because of this, they nearly always have a distinctively organic look.
  Bioships are usually quite powerful, and can often regenerate or heal damaged parts. Some bioships are intelligent or sentient, and some are considered to be lifeforms. Like most organic beings, many bioships contain large amounts of "scaffolding" materials to keep their shape, such as the xylem in trees or bone and chitin in animals.

  The Ctholinian bioship is a space-born creature and neurologically connected to its Ctholina pilots, and together they travel through space and time. Usually, a small group of Ctholina is chosen to become pilots but they never "steer" all at once. Only one at a time out of the group connects with the ship.

  Every Ctholina has their own biosuit made specifically for them. The biosuit is basically an empty body, a shell so to speak, which is supposed to protect the Ctholina resting inside. The suit is also neurologically connected to the individuum inside of it and has the potential to shapeshift and harden at will. It is a necessary ability to adapt to whatever environment the Ctholina finds themselves in.

Ctholina are a nomadic species, using bioships to roam space and time.
Ctholina have the natural ability to control atoms and molecules, which makes them one of the most powerful creatures known to the universe. They are also one of the oldest existing species.
Ctholina are hermaphrodites, meaning they possess both male and female reproductive organs. Many Ctholina may choose to build their biosuits with traits associated with either the male or the female gender but others may choose to stay nonbinary.
