I Created Fantasy Creatures for My Worldbuilding | Earth Dwellers

The Earth Dwellers sleep underground on the Planet Kolm for hundreds of years at a time, absorbing massive amounts of data about the ecosystem and planet life through Aeon currents that seeps through the earth. They are able to alter their physical form and even reinvent their bodies on a cellular level.

[@ptmfrosty]

what art style do you use to get these images?? i assume they’re AI generated but what prompting/engine do you use to get these results? they’re the CLEANEST i’ve ever seen

[@KingswithDragons]

I use Midjourney in anime style and then Photoshop to fix it up.

That is so cool! Is always so cool to see worlds so colorful and filled with life. But may I ask, what AI did you use for the pictures? They look so good!

Thanks! I use Midjourney and then fix up the anatomy and colors on Photoshop

What an interesting concept for a society!
I wated to ask about farming and hunting in kolm: Does farming and other "not natural" ways of gathering food are seen as lesser practices and the elites live of what they hunt themselves?

[@KingswithDragons]

Thanks!
In Kolmic society, farming is the generic way to support the less empowered populace and the working class. The agrarian sector usually asks the Carthynox Clan or other powerful lords to bring upon them blessings from the sleeping Earth Dwellers, who can grant greater crop yields, plant disease control, and healthier livestock, should the balance of the planet allow it.
The unempowered dare not venture unprotected into the sacred jungles and valleys where exotic and therefore expensive plants grow and where the ever-changing animal kingdom roam. These remain the domain of the elites who hunt and gather through complex arts of shapeshifting and connecting to nature. The elite seek to be a part of the planet's own patterns of ecological balance and see themselves as parts of a greater organism.

Quick question, are earth dwellers the only sword of monsters in this novel / manga/book that you're making, with a large amount of variations, or are they just one out of the many types of monsters?
Also, from your previous video that focuses on the magic system, I would love to know what the difference between crafters to sovereigns are ( not in terms of social standing but specifically how they use magic ).
If you're somehow wondering what I mean, let's take an example from my power systems magic users ( Dream seekers ), basically dream seekers are separated into five different types, which basically just segregates how they use their abilities and how open their abilities can become ins certain aspects.
Also just asking, what AI are to do you use for these pictures?

[@KingswithDragons]

Hey there! To answer your questions,
Earth Dwellers are one of many races of the Empowered--beasts of high intelligence and Aeonic strength.
Crafters are have low Aeon control, and their aura is thin, behaving like wisps. Warriors have strong Aeon control; their aura condenses into luminescent shards of Aeon that influences the elements. Sovereigns have supreme Aeon control; their aura flares in a dense flame of power, and can push the forces of nature to do their bidding. It is a power level system, not a solid caste system. So given opportunity, time, training, and perseverance, a crafter can in theory rise to the level of sovereign, though it is unlikely. The Aspect one is born to control, is almost always set at birth, but there are unique circumstances in which some people rise to transcend their native Aspect.
I use Midjourney to generate images.

hmm nice creature and a overload
I just needed such a creature for my story that can help and make the people under him unique
and it fits perfectly as mostly magic that's like DNA mutation (a person can mix the muscle and bone of other creature in their body and different places have different mutation some in mouth some in legs etc.) is happening in my story
so, my question to you is if i can add these creature in my story well although with its memory and rebirth ability sealed

[@KingswithDragons]

Sure, sounds fine 👌

although, i liked it i couldn't get the last part in your Asian power system it just couldn't get in my mind because of the words

Why are they called earth dwellers if the planet isn't called earth? Shouldn't they be called kolm dwellers, or stone dwellers?

[@KingswithDragons]

Good question. The name is translated from the Kolmic name that means "Dwellers of the earth"--"earth" here refers to "(noun) the substance of the land surface; soil" [Oxford Languages]

[@alexjewett7455]

@@KingswithDragons I figured, but I just find it weird that they call soil earth, when that's not what the planet is called.

[@KingswithDragons]

@@alexjewett7455 Ah, well this is just the English translation for people of Earth-616. The Kolmic tongues have their own names containing cultural nuances within their own contexts.
