Beyond Human: Imagining 'MCHAKA' – The Telepathic Alien Currency

Hello Aliens! Hope you're all doing well in your respective corners of the cosmos!

I'm participating in this week's "Beyond Human" contest with the theme "Alien currency." For this entry, I've created a digital artwork exploring a unique form of currency.

My Alien Currency: MCHAKA

Here is my artwork for the contest:

This currency was invented by an advanced three-eyed alien species. Their coins, like the one shown, are purple and are represented by the alien code MCHAKA. This code signifies a high value in their system, though it's not the absolute highest.

These coins are stored in a subspace wallet that every alien possesses, making them accessible only by the owner.

Creation Notes & Process

This piece was drawn directly by me using Medibang Paint. You can see my creative process for this artwork detailed in the video accompanying this post.

Thanks for viewing!
