s4rcgasm

Your Gek is well cute, well-drawn, but also I question their intentions


H3M4D

Thank you! Cautious optimism over here


s4rcgasm

Yeah some people hate on the geks for the lore but they are cute, you proved it :)

I would love to see an Akira Toriyama version of No Man's Sky that would be epic

Holy freaking hell you just made my week I would give you an award if I have one this is just Wow ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|heart_eyes)


JustChillDudeItsGood

Yahoo!! Just made these while rocking the little one to sleep - Midjourney is a CRAZY amazing tool... I just posted these to the sub too, b/c why not!?


MothJuan

Amazing job indeed Thank you!


nerdydolphins

Wow, this stuff is awesome! Especially love the 2nd last one. I thought the foreground rickets were little walk overs until I saw the vapor tail in the bottom right. Amazing scale!


JustChillDudeItsGood

BRB with that


Chickencondos

Yall are gonna hate me, but I don't like the Gek. I like the Robots :D


Minimum-Hamster-2035

Yeah the gek are terrifying lol when they just stare into your soup with those big eyes


Chickencondos

RIGHT?! And they fart and make weird smells


Minimum-Hamster-2035

Trying to make you smell their pheromones, very weird


Minimum-Hamster-2035

Eyes*


Green_Top_Hat

That's an awesome drawing. My fiancé drew my Gek character a long time ago. If I can find it, I'll post it on the sub :)


H3M4D

Would love to see it!


mayonnaise68

cute lil dude. though i would say they look just a *tad* evil. your art is very cool btw!


i_sing_anyway

Everybody be cool


VertSkiy

Really trying here. So hard. I shoot all Gek on sight just on principle.


Aluakbar445

Isn’t that comparable to going to modern Germany and shooting up random civilians bc they’re great grandad was an SS soldier


Slower_chip

Is so cute we almost forget it is a money grabbing sociopathic little creature


Carminallure

They look super cute! I want this one as my frigates first mate so I can hang out with them after an expedition


jerrythecactus

Just wait until you learn about their history


H3M4D

Ahhh shit


VertSkiy

As you can see, no one here is going to tell you. But uh... if you want to love them, ignore their history. Ignore the lore.


H3M4D

Haven't experienced this....lore...yet, but yeah Id like to think whatever offence their kind did, this specific dude did not participate.


St0lf

geks are probably my favourites. I want a hundred of em


[deleted]

Awww, you ready to be murdered or genetically altered against your will by them?


RavenCroft23

Funny when you think about the fact that they’re an ancient warrior race


The_Gumpness

And genocidal at that.


H3M4D

But this guy isn't ancient


GlitteringForever828

Just because the species has a genocide past doesn't mean they are bad all together of course just like this little gek Hmm.. they probably find being called little offensive


Turbulent_Ad_9260

It helps to have your entire species forcefully genetically altered against your will.


[deleted]

Bur they refuse to own that fact.


ducking-moron

Honestly I prefer the fully black eyed gek, looks cuter to me, still nice though


BlueSyncope

Omg this is so cool


[deleted]

I will never forget nor forgive what the geks did, no matter how cute the little frog dudes are.


justhangingout85

Aye we got a problem? - a gek


CrystalQuetzal

The current gek have nothing to do with their awful ancient past (which was a long ass time ago) and even renounce it and became business people to try and be more peaceful with the other races. Something like that. It’s ridiculous people see current ones as genocidal maniacs when it’s their ancient ancestors who did the crimes


[deleted]

I am racist.


Turbulent_Ad_9260

Personally I’m more pissed at the Korvax, they’re the reason I can’t pick up a pebble when I want some ferrite.


Songshiquan0411

The Korvax worship the Atlas, but I didn't think they created it or the Sentinels.


Turbulent_Ad_9260

They didn’t, but their the reason the vy’keen lost the war when they turned the first spawn against them, do your research


Songshiquan0411

Okay see I might be wrong but I thought the history went like this: Hirk wins the civil war with Nal, unites the Vy'keen and promptly declares war on the Sentinels. The Vy'keen suffer horrendous losses but manage to push the Sentinels out of Euclid. Meanwhile, the Gek and their fanatical First Spawn leaders decide to go on a galaxy wide conquest with goals to take over the universe. They enslave the Korvax, destroy their home planet, and temporarily cut the Korvax off from their Echoes. They start to Third Reich in space all over the stars, but avoid Vy'keen space while the Vy'keen and Sentinels were fighting. However, once the Vy'keen "win" their war with the Sentinels(not defeated, just regrouping in intergalactic space) the First Spawn see their opportunity and invade Vy'keen space, since the Vy'keen are exhausted from their previous war. Korvax slaves begin rebelling against the First Spawn, destroying their spawning pools with nanites. The Vy'keen begin losing ground to the First Spawn. At this time, the Sentinels return. The see the Gek are being complete jerks to everyone and start fighting together with the Korvax to crush the First Spawn. I didn't think the Vy'keen disliked the Korvax beyond the fact that they don't like that the Korvax worship the Sentinels and the Atlas. However, I thought the Vy'keen blamed the First Spawn for causing the Sentinels to return and still resent the Gek for that to this day. TL;DR: I thought the Vy'keen blamed the First Spawn/Gek for the Sentinels returning, not the Korvax.


Turbulent_Ad_9260

I thought the way it went was vy’keen were about to win, but then we’re essentially flanked and had to fight a war on both sides, with the first spawn attacking them from the center because they were directed to do so by the korvax, causing the already weakened vy’keen to lose the war, but honestly I don’t know anymore, but the korvax dislike the vy’keen and are Allies with the sentinels, so that’s reason enough for me to not like them. But the main difference between our versions is that in mine the first spawn attacking was after they were engineered by the korvax, because the korvax edited the gek’s genetics in the spawning pool by sacrificing themselves to spill their nanite blood into them. So basically it IS the korvax’s fault.


Songshiquan0411

Okay, whew it is confusing. So I've been re-reading the Plaque entries and you're right, the Korvax not only poisoned the First Spawn breeding pools but with some pools they altered the Gek DNA. Not to attack the Vy'keen, though, The First Spawn did that on their own. To make them more docile, push them towards being traders, and most importantly to the Korvax, plant the seed of belief in the Atlas. The Korvax genetic intervention caused the Gek empire to collapse into civil war between the unaltered First Spawn and the Atlas believing First Spawn. The Atlas believers won and freed the Korvax from slavery. Then the remaining unaltered First Spawn were eradicated. The Vy'keen actually condemned the destruction of the Korvax capital world, Korvax Prime, by the First Spawn. I don't think they hate the Korvax they just disagree about whether or not the Sentinels are a good thing. They do hold a heavy grudge towards the Gek though since all 3 races believe the destruction of Korvax Prime is what caused the temporarily defeated Sentinels to return to Euclid. But man when you read the Plaques it is hard not to dislike the Gek. They were tripping.


Turbulent_Ad_9260

Honestly I don’t know what anything means anymore, I just re read the wiki, and I done with lore for the day


DoubleDizzzy

They need to stop spewing their pheromones all over the place 🤢🤮


HvacCrackerJack

mfer looks like they wanna fart in your face and ask how good it smells.


Zuper_Dragon

Considering they communicate mostly through pheromones that isn't entirely off.


Aluakbar445

Some people have absolutely no chill. Great drawing


MogsPOV

that poor decapitated gek


Alex_the_master

Ah yes, the war criminals


[deleted]

As far as I understand the gek have murdered billions of other creatures and are now like “naah, not a big deal, better not to talk about it. Reperations? What reperations?” IMHO they are appalling.


Songshiquan0411

I forget how to do spoilers on a smartphone. These aren't plot spoilers, but can be pieced together by visiting and reading Plaques, particularly Gek and Korvax Plaques. So don't keep reading if you'd like to find it yourself: The Gek Dominion is a defunct Gek empire that had a simple caste system. The military and political leaders were from the First Spawn caste. If you weren't in the First Spawn caste, you were in the subjugated Low Spawn caste. The First Spawn believed their so-called genetic superiority gave them the right to expand the Dominion, through force if necessary. The Dominion had a military that rivaled that of the Vy'keen and genocided any species that resisted their conquest. They enslaved the Korvax and destroyed their home planet. The Korvax rebelled by using nanites to poison First Spawn breeding pools. The Atlas and its Sentinels got involved and the Gek could not defeat this mechanical alliance. When the Dominion surrendered, the Korvax and Sentinels gave the First Spawn a choice: stick to their racist beliefs and die or convert to Korvax religion, worship the Atlas, and live. The Vy'keen have never fully forgiven the Gek but it seems the Korvax have somewhat. The Korvax believe as long as the Gek follow the will of the Atlas, there will be peace.


H3M4D

Irl a ton of cultures have committed genocide and some leaders of said countries hold onto the denial, but should we reduce individuals to actions of the past and they present leaders ideals? I think not. Same with this guy.


[deleted]

Well I am talking spices general denial of their past. And this guy… is he a rebel or takes part in the denial?


H3M4D

He's a rebel


CrystalQuetzal

The first spawn did all the mass slaughtering including their own kind in order to keep the strongest ones.. the current gek are nothing like that and renounce their awful past. They literally became businessmen to try and be more friendly with everyone.


[deleted]

Sounds awfully relativistic to me.


RareSeaTurtle

The Gek genocided the Vy’keen. Fun fact. That’s why the Vy are so salty I guess lol


Clear_Cartoonist_339

You my friend are sorely mistaken, Geks are some of the most hideous creatures known to man.


Clear_Cartoonist_339

Bro geez I didn’t know so many people thought geks where adorable😂


hingbongdingdong

At some point it's not a geck anymore. If you change their entire face shape to make them cute, then they aren't cute.
