One of two commissions for a friend who's really into 'All Tomorrows'.
I’m not familiar with all tomorrows, how exactly is this guy a symbiotic life form?
Edit 12/06/21: Oh, I thought that was his hair, you made it really ambiguous about whether it's the host that becomes intelligent because of the mutualsite or the mutualsite who is intelligent and controls the host, are they like a two person hive mind that shares memories?
The brown thing on the alien's head is the actual sentient being, the yellow humanoid is the host.
They started out as pure parasites but later on gave their hosts benefits like enhanced speed, vision and eventually intelligence. Once their society reached certain age, the hosts became more akin to clothes to the symbiotes since they heavily relied on their intelligence to do anything. The symbiotes themselves couldn't really do jackshit without piloting their hosts because they're glorified brains.
