Assorted doodles on black paper, drawn with white colored pencil. The top three are busts of hex doing various expressions. From right to left: Upset and swearing. Looking forward and mildly uncomfortable. Looking to our right with an offended expression. Beneath those is a detailed drawing of a hex's eye up close. The iris is round, but the pupil is a beaded slit. Next to that is a hex smiling and looking left. Beneath that is a drawing of a hex with more of its neck showing facing right. Then there is a drawing done with red pencil of the top half of a hex that's laying on the floor. Then there's a close-up headshot of a hex with it's mouth open with the text POG next to it, in refernece to the pogchamp emote on Twitch. Beneath those is a simply fullbody doodle of a hex with its hands on its hips. Next to that is a small scene of a muscular hex holding a drink as seen from behind, smugly looking to the camera as another hex approached is flirtatiously.
Assorted doodles on black paper, including me figuring out the final version of what hex eyes look like up close.




















Concept Art

Plus other general outdated art.

This section of the gallery is organized oldest to newest.

A hexapod squatting next to a sitting human. The hex is dark purple with a pink-to-orange-to-yellow-to-green gradient going down their limbs. They have a pair of human-like arms, but another smaller pair right beneath it. Plus, they have a pair of small mantis-like arms right above the waistband of their underwear. Their thick tail is dark purple. Their eyes are green and they have a single orange-to-green gradient horn on their head. Their gular skin is bright pink.
July 12, 2022 - The original concept art, back when Spiral was simply a sci-fi themed alternate universe for two old characters of mine. Those characters later became Aroo and Damian, and I consider this to be it's own seperate universe.
A collection of various sketches of early hexapod. The first is a colored fullbody showing a dark green reptile-like figure. It's proportions are similar to modern hexapods, but it has four eyes, ears, and a cassowary-like crest on its head. It stands with a hunched forward posture. This figure too has an extra pair of smaller arms. It's tail is much shorter, but also much thicker than a modern hex. There are cyan, yellow, and magenta stripes on the undersides of its arms. To this figure's right are two side views showing a typical hex and an albino hex. They have pronounced nose ridges and much larger wings. Otherwise, they are quite similar to modern hex. In the bottom left there are many uncolored sketches. There's a front view marking out joint locations, a foot and hand view showing how similar they are, a profile view of a head that has it's parts labeled, and a full-body showing very different anatomy. The arm is massive and this concept as a barrel-chest. It still has the small mantis limbs on the groin. There is a diagram showing that this concept hadone-way respiration, where exhaled air came out of a nostril in the back. Then, there are two headshots. One is a hex with an open mouth sticking out its forked tongue between sharp teeth. Below that is a light green colored skull.
July 13-15, 2022 - A collection of sketches further fleshing out the idea of turning this into a species. You can tell that I pretty quickly found the general idea I wanted to work with, but needed to do a lot of fine-tuning to turn it into the hex we know today.
Two hexapods interacting. The individual closer to the camera is facing away from it, they are blue and are avoiding eye contact by looking at the floor. The taller individual in front of the blue one is dark gray-ish maroon. They are looking down at the blue one's face and showing off the markings on their wing.
August 1, 2022 - Because hex are winged reptile-like creatures, I used some Smaugust prompts for inspiration with developing them. For "rivals," I drew a social interaction with one individual showing submissive body language to a more domineering business rival.
A magenta hex with dark blue markings and aqua details wearing a gray tank top sitting at a table and talking with a green dragon who is taking a tip through a straw using its tongue.
August 2, 2022 - Hex originally were to share a world with sapient dragons. Following the prompt "eating," this is showing a hex having a meal with a dragon. Note how the dragon also has a straw tongue and an extra pair of eyes, showing that the species were related.























A blue hex with patchy aqua markings and orange details jumping back and screeching at the sight of a small green animal beneath its table.
August 7, 2022 - Following "dyschromnia," "venomous," and "under," I drew a small venomous pest animal native to the hex homeworld. This individual has a skin pigment condition that gives them bright markings across their skin.
The silhouettes of a dragon and a hex looking up at the night sky.
August 7, 2022 - For "stars," I drew a hex and a dragon looking up at the stars together. In this image, they are viewing a different arm of the milky way galaxy. A cropped version of this is still currently used as the header for all of the site's pages.
Watercolor drawings of many hex bust shots.
September 5, 2022 - Assorted watercolor drawings figuring out how their heads and faces look.
An anime-style hex. Their skin is green and they are wearing a brown poncho and green pants that come above their wings.
September 26, 2022 - A cartoon-y anime-styled hexapod.























An anatomical diagram showing a cross-section of human and hex throat anatomy. One can see that the tongue is hollow and goes all the way down the throat, and the nostrils in the gular skin connect to the throat.
November 30, 2022 - A diagram showing old hexapodal throat anatomy compared to a human's. Remember that everything in this section is outdated. Old but accurate art would be in the main gallery.
A hexapod talking from their tongue. They're saying: Like humans I can't speak with just my mouth. We use our tongues and its inner ridges to speak! Just like how humans use their tongue, teeth, and lips to speak.
December 1, 2022 - Really starting to resemble their modern selves now. Everything after this can be uploaded with just a few edits.
