Really surprised by how many people liked lil' Blip from the kiddos. Blip also has many thoughts on their popularity! #ToHoldAStar

Erid Fauna Profile #2: Flatback

Sturdy and reliable eridian mounts, useful for when vehicles cannot safely traverse the immense landscape. Typically very docile, with a temperament akin to a large cow.

Controlled via tapping against their shell with a hollow control rod.

"Saddles" consist of fitted platforms with loops that wrap around the main three legs. Saddles have small holds for eridians to hang on to, and ties to attach supplies.

We've got #Grockdrian pebbles! There's some interesting coloration going on there with two of them. 👀 Details and notes in the comments! #ProjectHailMary #OurSavingGrace

Eridani Fauna Profile #1: Shell-breaker leeches! #ProjectHailMary #PHM #OurSavingGrace #OSG
Erid Fauna Profile #1: Shell-breaker leech

Named for their ability to break through the protective shells of most eridani wildlife, these hardy pests are no problem on their own, hence their tendency to hunt in packs.

Their sturdy bodies are corded with muscle, enabling them to launch themselves at unsuspecting prey. If they manage to hit their mark, the five sharp prongs at the edges of their mouth sink in, injecting a paralyzing agent into the target.

Once prey has been sufficiently immobilized, the rows of teeth get to work on carving chunks out of a hard shell, until they can breach the closed system within.

They rarely hunt eridians, but they also won't pass up an opportunity if they manage to get one alone.

Last but not least, the final of the three eridian councilors in #OurSavingGrace. Myriad-of-Plumewither might be a tiny little thing, but they don't tolerate disrespect from anyone. Confident and sassy, they know how to get everything they want and more. #ProjectHailMary #PHM #OSG

Grace in various fits that pop up over the course of #OurSavingGrace! From left to right, we have: fancy eridian celebration clothes, the domestic fit from Rocky's radiation dream, and then something he wears in the sequel story. #ProjectHailMary #PHM #OSG

My take on species-swapped #Grockdrian! I simply love the idea that everyone is INSANELY attractive no matter how they look. #ProjectHailMary #PHM

Let's celebrate together! A scene from Chapter 41 of my fanfic, #OurSavingGrace. If there's anyone out there who can turn a crappy week into a good one, it's Barb. 💗 #ProjectHailMary #PHM #OSG

Introducing Councilor Wrox-of-Sovereign-Wake, the second of the three eridian councilors in #OurSavingGrace! They're a bit of a pervert and a little lazy, but otherwise a nice enough soul. (Doesn't mean I would trust them TOO much.) #ProjectHailMary #PHM #OSG

Time to welcome Decima-of-Shaded-Canopy to the character line-up! The first of the three eridian councilors in #OurSavingGrace, and the one you probably want to avoid the most. (Unless you're into that. 👁️) #ProjectHailMary #PHM #OSG

My take on Grace's biodome house layout! It's missing a lot of details, but it was fun putting my own spin on it. #ProjectHailMary #PHM

What if we both wrote failed academic papers and we bonded over that and became friends and hung-out? Based on an eventual scene in my fanfic. 🤍 Grace deserves lots of friends! #ProjectHailMary #PHM #OurSavingGrace #OSG #RylandGrace

When you've been in darkness for too long, you tend to grab onto the first light you see. Sometimes that light happens to be an alien from a society light-years away from your own, and he happens to be exactly what you were looking for all along.

The entire crew, all together at last! (Re-upload bc I changed some stuff.) I had a lot of fun designing the different shapes and color combos on display here. I'm so excited for everyone to meet them all! #ProjectHailMary #OurSavingGrace
From left to right: Pricilla, Adrian, Grace, Rocky, Levee, Lightbulb, Barbie, Autumn, and Sparky.

Ventarix @ventarix.bsky.social · 16/06/2026
The last two members of the team! Re-upload because I changed some stuff. :) (Pricilla, you're doing amazing sweetie. Yes, he named himself.) #ProjectHailMary #OurSavingGrace
Lightbulb (they/them) is a biologist helping with Grace's nutritional needs and long-term care. They have a melodious voice and they speak slowly and thoughtfully. They can be a bit air-headed. Their carapace is gold and shaped vaguely like a lightbulb, with blue growths in the center.Pricilla (he/him) is part of the science team assigned to Grace's biodome. He says exactly what he's thinking, and tends to come off as rude. He's worked alongside Adrian for years, and is not offended by their abrasive nature. His carapace is purple with subtle sparkles, and he's CONVINCED he has a beautiful singing voice. (He does not.)

Ventarix @ventarix.bsky.social · 14/06/2026
And two new carapaces, as well. 👀 #ProjectHailMary #OurSavingGrace
Barbie (she/her) is the team leader. She communicates findings directly with the Science Council, and she helps with Grace's biology research, keeping his progress moving forward both generally and mentally. She loves wearing flashy jewelry, and is often seen buffing her shell to an immaculate shine.Sparky (he/him) is an eridian known for his explosive personality. He's a scientist helping with Grace's nutritional needs and long-term care. He's missing one leg, and wears a wrap on one forelimb that he never removes.

Updated references for Levee and Autumn! #ProjectHailMary #OurSavingGrace
Levee (he/him) is a white eridian with teal and green flecking across his body. He has long legs and sharp claws, often seen fidgeting. He's the primary aid and scribe for Grace's care-team. He's very anxious, but he's doing his best, and he's unusually okay with Grace being a "leaky space blob".Autumn (she/her) is a very small rusty-red eridian with gold markings on her carapace. She's in charge of "human research" via the portable-earth-thinking-devices. She often gets mistaken for a pebble, much to her great frustration.

I'm getting my mileage out of that dang xenonite suit if it's the last thing I do. #ProjectHailMary
Grace and Rocky from Project Hail Mary in three different poses where they are lying on or around each other.

I just KNOW that as soon as Rocky made that xenonite suit, personal space became even more of a premium. #ProjectHailMary
Three doodles of Grace and Rocky from Project Hail Mary in various poses where Rocky is constantly touching Grace somewhere, very gently.
