For today's #ArtAdventCalendar we're going back to April 2023 and it's another joint project with @danielledoesdata as we get in touch with my Slavic roots via some egg dyeing. This collection was done with dyes made from blueberries, red cabbage, red wine, and onion skins. I've also tried turmeric, beets, and carrots, but those are more finicky, harder to get vibrant colors from.
2/2 mixed in with all of this myth and some figures from historical (our modern) media horror creatures like the Slenderman or antagonist figures like Sephiroth, see Wikipedia links at the end.
The greyman are often described as being seductive, which is a result of the Bethosians being thrown in because their abilities to have sexual intercourse with other species with relative ease fuels a lot of fantasies throughout galactic society, manipulative, benevolent, mischievous, dangerous or even helpful. Thanks to the galaxy wide version of the Internet or the Neural interface network this stories spread and mutate incredibly fast.
Since AJ draws so heavily on this myth of the greyman it's easy to understand why people start talking about the Greyman that saved them or sacrificed their colonie.

458. Are there stories (within your novel) about said monsters or creatures? (Refer to Prompt 457.)
1/2
There are a lot of stories of a lot of creatures especially AJ draws, not knowingly, heavily from the in universe myth of the Greyman for their self presentation.
Grey little humanoid Aliens exist in the story of every sentient species an well in the middle of the Union with the grey skinned Bethos(ians) it's unclear if their species has anything to to with said stories.
The Intergalactic SCP foundation and the Templin Institute for interspecies Anthropology (thats the Terran names translated into our time) are fighting over this topic for a long period now.
The modern variant mixed in all kind of sources and is an amalgamation of different myths, stories etc similar to our modern understanding of the Earth mother movements in history. It's currently visuals are a result of Bethosian traits

I miss the era of very Internet-y things, geocities-style scavenger hunts, with easter eggs and all. So, I devised a treasure hunt of my own!
