Lethean Units: Notes and Sketches, Part II

   Lethean units are corpses reanimated using technology and used to track people down, as they have the ability to see memories bonded to places and objects. You know that's not frightening enough, so how's this? Their bodies' life support systems keep oxygen pumping mechanically, through what equates to be artificial lungs attached to their backs, giving them a hunched appearance. To maintain balance, a cable runs from a crest from an implant embedded in their skull. Like this basically:


Probably the only not terrifying Lethean drawing in existence. Maybe that's because it looks like ZIM on one side fused with a chibi Zuko on the other.

   The exhalations produced from being filtered through their bodies result in a psychotropic pathogen that induces fear in anyone who inhales it. Yeah, they breathe fear gas. I know that seems like overkill, but it makes physiological sense. Oh, and did I mention that their breathing sounds like gentle sobbing?

   And that they travel in swarms?

This drawing is my experiment with pencils and charcoals of different hardness. Turned out well, did it not?

   You can see the full size of that one if you scroll down this page. Good luck with the whole "sleeping" thing tonight.
