Uhhhh deeply sorry that there's no search bar, but Ctrl + F is right there, good luck buddy

Why is it called "Proto Livastia?" Good question, hypothetical confused individual. I call the early days of Livastia by this name because it's a period of its development where I really didn't take it seriously at all, and thus a large chunk of the art from this time depicts lore and events that were retconned or don't exist anymore. For example, an MAI/Vehicle LAI used to be able to be literally anything - WWI tank, excavator, cargo ship, you name it. Now, however, with further thought and development, these concepts that were once true no longer exist in Livastia canon unless under rare and odd exception.

Proto Livastia, as a matter of fact, was actually initially created as a joke of sorts. The first MAI to ever exist, Kelly Segal, and the first proper LAI to ever exist, Lazarus Sasaki, were at one point nothing more than gag characters that I made as a silly "what if" type of thing. Aren't you glad that I started seriously thinking about the reasons for their existance in a serious manner and getting myself sucked into a multi-year running worldbuilding project? Don't answer that that's a rhetorical.

11-26-2018	traditional	Genesis Small Utility Arms: On top of being able to interface with normal utility arms, he also had an inbuilt mini set for small scale object manipulation, and an extra optic mounted to an articulated arm for blindspot visibility on the ground.
11-25-2018	traditional, alcohol markers	[REVISED]MORE Genesis doodles: including a lined and colored reference.
11-24-2018	traditional	[REVISED]Genesis Sketches Ft. Kelly: he was just a funny little guy as a kid y'know
11-23-2018	traditional	[REVISED]Genesis Concept Art: First Debut of Genesis Segal, Kelly and Loon's eventual adopted son. He vastly dwarfs even Kelly due to the fact that he's an unmanned drone, and I believe he was the first MAI to canonically utilize a softbody fuselage. This means that his fuselage can warp somewhat organically even if it's still made of synthetic materials.
11-22-2018	traditional	Little Helicopter MAI: I don't have much to say on this one, they're just pretty cute
11-21-2018	traditional, alcohol markers	[NONCANON]OBJ 279 MAI: even when I drew this I was not a fan of the proportions I did, fella unfortunately did not age well
11-18-2018	traditional	Kelly Is Going To Carve A Trophy: did he STUTTER
11-17-2018	traditional	E-20 Jaw Attachment: Also woah, Livastia 1st birthday!
11-15-2018	traditional	Kelly Sleeping: also yup it is yet another self insert drawing - my son. my boy.
11-13-2018	traditional, alcohol markers	Sea Stallion Helicopter MAI: I suppose I just wanted to draw a helicopter, no biggie
11-10-2018	traditional	Warm Winter Tank: I don't remember what model this one was - another type I got off of world of tanks probably. Regardless, they are apparently extremely cozy.
11-03-2018	traditional, alcohol markers	Drawtober Pieces: Featuring Andrew and Shannon! I actually sketched these out during October, but apparently hadn't finished them until this date.
10-30-2018 thru 11-01-2018	traditional	[NONCANON]Kelly and Loon Dragons: it remains an enigma why I was so enthralled with drawing them as dragons
10-29-2018	traditional	[NONCANON]Alexia and Asriel Humans: Not only are these extremely noncanon for reasons stated in the human Nikita and Adrik entry, but neither of these designs really match who they are as characters anymore, either.
10-22-2018	traditional	Roto and Zonnie Flying: I believe this piece was intended for Drawtober, but I never finished it
10-21-2018	traditional	[NONCANON]Nikita And Adrik Humans: Yeah yeah ok laugh at me I drew a few of my MAI/LAI ocs as humans. It was cute back then, but I'm really not a fan of the concept of LAI humanizations anymore since their nonhuman nature is vital to their characters.
10-20-2018	traditional	Livastia Alliance Flag Concept: Can you tell I was not very well versed in vexillology
10-19-2018	traditional	Field Husk: unofficial name for the vessels of deceased MAI that are left to lie where they died. Also whyyy did I write that off to the side-
10-13-2018	traditional, alcohol markers	Unicorn LAI Drawtober: Not very robot-y, this one. I end up getting better at making robot unicorns I promise
10-12-2018	traditional, alcohol markers	Lazarus Drawtober: ohhh I did not and honestly probably still do not have the proper marker colors to color him accurately...
