Gene Wolfe? On newgrounds? Love it!
Hierodules
Share
The Hierodules known as Ossipago, Famulimus and Barbatus from Gene Wolfe's Book of the New Sun. Also derogatively called Cacogens. Hierodule translates to "Holy Slave", whereas Cacogen means "Horror Creator". Basically these things are Wolfe's interpretation of the whole 'ancient alien' trope, though as usual, is subverted in a masterful and unpredictable way.
I love me some tube people floating in endless cream.
Never thought I'd see Gene Wolfe fanart on Newgrounds. Excellent work.

Thanks so much! Wolfe is such an under-appreciated author-- Book of the New Sun is easily my all-time favorite work of fiction, absolute top-tier stuff.
get the fuck out of my back yard illegal space aliens the Mexicans are barely allowed in, and only because they mow my lawn. sorry i heard the words (derogatively called) and (alien) and the joke just wrote its self. not to mention the word (slave) did not exactly dissuade me...o_O...god im so racist, and what's worse is its on accident i swear. and i wish i had a lawn to mow.
