This is a sketch of a mysterious species called the Tassili. They are not caporial creatures and because of that they are often the substance of many myths, though many choose to ignore the possibility of their existence. But Ralf seems to hold a certain curiosity for one of them.
This is just one in a series of aliens I developed by looking at historical references from cave paintings to Biblical descriptions. This one happens to be my favorite from that study (Ralf is technically my favorate alien, but he was developed on his own). There was a cave painting in a desert region (which the name is based on) which some said looked like a man with a helmet on, but to me it looked like a giant eye. So I thought that would be a cool look for a “watcher” type alien and mixed it with some other references and this is what I came up with. Can anyone guess what the other reference (specifically) is?
