So they are the subject of evolution's cruel humor at times?

Wow, you really hit it right on the head there! That is in fact the unofficial theme of their species; an awkward, newly-sentient evolutionary branch that isn't quite here and isn't quite there yet.

To anyone doubting nature's schizophrenic ways, just ask yourself: is this actually a comfortable way to sit? http://cdn1.arkive.org/media/7E/7E2.....lt-sitting.jpg

A living chair? Hahah... ha... :c I feel bad nao

They're an interesting creature! Makes me wanna draw one of my own if I could ^3^;;

Haha, certainly! I would love to see someone else's artistic interpretation of these little things.

really?! *3* awesome! I'll link you once I have drawn 'em!

Is that Kass in the bottom-middle? The one to the right of the top-left looks like an adventurer! That full-color one in the top left looks interesting, almost matronly? and hasn't a front tooth!? The bottom-left one looks like an immature female, perhaps the charge of the matronly one? Anyways, altogether quite interesting!

Thanks for sharing; I was wondering what people were thinking about these designs! These are mostly pre-production designs to help me flesh out the yinglets' designs (proportions, etc), so they vary a bit. The only "finished" one would probably be Lopin on the bottom right, and even he had a few minor changes before being put in the comic.

The only other established character in this sheet is at the top left; the very first yinglet I drew, which is Kass, post-transformation. (Finally I can say that without it being a spoiler.)

Lopin is my favorite so far. He's just so cute!

He does spent a lot of time each morning making sure he looks that way! I'm really looking forward to introducing the other yinglet characters.

Well they are interesting creatures! Lopin is so adorable

He certainly tries to be! It helps out with business, too.

Lol, I bet!

Pretty awesome to see these now. Proto-Vizlet is suave.

Yeah, those initial human-like proportions add a lot of respectability!

So, being yinglets, that needed to be toned way down.

Naturally.

The beginnings of the scrap pile...

Feels like I dredged upon an ancient tome of lost knowledge for some reason. :U

This shall assist my research into the yinglets immensely. Like the Fallout/yinglet crossover that is forming in my head!

Even at this early stage, Vizlet had her sass.

Somehow she looks weird without the tailpoof, I assume that was a later addition.

Was the one in the top right supposed to be an early version of Kass? It looks strangely similar and the confused expressions do remind me of how Kass looks in the prologue.

Also, damn, these short snouted yinglets look so cursed now.

ooohhh, I think this is one of those rare few pieces where we can see a Yinglet fully front facing! *studies for future reference!*

I love looking back at the beta version of what would become the modern yinglet that we all know and love… or I guess tolerate at least.
