These are the Qualm. They are an alien race, residing in my sci fi novel, The Saloon At The Edge Of Everywhere. There are three of them in this picture, not that it really matters. They are a group mind, and whatever one Qualm knows, all the Qualm know, no matter how great the distance that separates them. They are also empathic. They cannot read the minds of other species, but they can feel the emotions of others.
They seem to float above the ground without really touching it, and they have been described as blue-green veils drapped over a helium balloon. They would be considered beautiful by humans, if it weren’t for the fact that their faces resemble nothing so much as a writhing plate of spaghetti. Well, nature gives with one hand while it takes away with the other…
Pouring My Art Out 
they look like they could do with a good ole fashioned haircut…………
Except they don’t have hair.
oh…..then they need to trim that green an purple stuff
That is what they are made of… sort of. It would be like trimming your skin.
ok then they need some plastic surgery……lol
Ha!
So there is no Qualm with privacy…. ok they are like the fates kinda – diggin your picture the spaghetti faces just bring it on home… I am not a sci fi fan – but I am really enjoying this..
It isn’t really sci fi… that is the big secret. It is a commentary on human nature and the silly things we take too seriously. The aliens provide me a chance to look at humans from an outside perspective.
ohhhhh well I will admit I am behind – I am always behind and I wasnt really planning on reading it,, don;t take that the wrong way – But I started to and …yea I am really enjoying it. I just can;t keep up.. that;s a cool ass concept. Are you going to publish?
That is the idea.
I was asking cause if you need a way to publish it – also that did sound bad – te only reason I wasn;t gonna read it or not the whole thing was time issues – so the fact that I got sucked in,…should be taken as a compliment..cause it wasn;t meant as a non compliment.. just sharing this with you if you don;t have solid plans yet… https://www.google.com/url?q=http://mommasmoneymatters.com/redmund-offer/&sa=U&ei=85JQUMHkHuuJ2AXgnIHwDg&ved=0CAYQFjAA&client=internal-uds-cse&usg=AFQjCNHvCJvmT0DBRJcBx2FoKwo_7tyNZQ
That looks promising. There are just dang many ways to go at the whole getting published thing. And I do appreciate the fact that you read any of my stuff. No worries.
If you decide to look into it – tell her I gave you the link. she is off this week but you can email her and she will get back to you.. I don;t know how close you are to being done.. and I think she has her first 20 but the next go around … I just had some of my art published in a book of hers..it was pretty darn cool.
Okay. Thanks. Congrats.
yea – that;s quite a link – just click it..
I LOVE the Qualm, they’re my favorite. I didn’t imagine them quite this way; more opaque and with less pronounced facial features. I still LOVE them.
To tell the truth, I pictured them the same way… more see-through. I used a real picture of spagghetti for the faces and just felt they needed some recognizable features. You crack me up, by the way. Good character imagination. Maybe I should work on the picture a little more, get rid of the eyes at least. But they are just sort of to remind people who is who.
