Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls of all ages! Feast your eyes on this! We have recieved the go-ahead to make the pictures and fiction on the K'Luth public. While it hasn't been crammed into HTML format for posting in the Factions area, it is viewable here for the time being.
This artwork and fiction is official information on the K'Luth. This has all been passed by Faustus and given his seal of approval.
This is all also now property of PaleStar.
Artisen Anitomical (Player Characters)
Drone Anitomical (None Player Charaters for later)
Note, the Drones are reserved for use in DarkSpace and/or it's possible first person shooter aspect. You will not be seeing them in any part of the game before that point. That is a minimum of one and one half years away at this time.
Artisen Head Details
Artisen Warrior (Avatar Sample)
Artisen Scout (Avatar Sample)
Shaper
Artisen and Drone Combat Team in Environmental Armour
Also, here are links to the fiction. It's in four parts:
Biology:
Part 1
Religeon:
Part 2
Technology:
Part 3
Society and odds and ends:
Part 4
Currently, we are hammering away at the UGTO and ICC uniforms. We plan to have those completed in a week or two. They will be posted in this forum after they are approved by Faustus.
(edit: links updated -- Selv)

if your lookin for ICC and UGTO uniforms my brother has been obsessively drawing things from darkspace for the past week, including about 12 styles of uniform for ugto and icc. (beleive it or not he actually managed to get imperical style for UGTO and rebel style for ICC, looks pretty cool, if u want em just ask and ill find a way to get em up =))

Actually, we have worked out the unifroms for the most part already. We have discussed the design in detail and at length with Faustus, and have a very good idea as to the image he want's to project for them.
Thanks for the offer, however. I enjoy reading about people who are enthusiastic about DarkSpace.
Oh, as a side note: Many of the pics from here on out are going to be in color. We are also going to be revisiting the K'Luth. We will either be colorizing one or more of these pics, or producing some new art specifically designed to be colored.
Any thoughts from the community on the skin coloration for the K'Luth? Not the armour and equipment, that will have to follow the red and yellow scheme of their ships for some technical game related reasons. The skin color of the K'Luth themselves.

The hand drawings are pretty cool, i like them, however, this is a "computer" game, so what about the 3d models?

skin colour: without theyre skin colouration communication, it should be a blackish brown with hints of dark red, but the should have a vibrant colour language going thru the entire visible spectrum, ppl view kluth as ugly nasty creatures, itd be interesting to have them be able to display beauty as well
