Private Project

Humanoid

In a dystopian future, where the world is suffocated by a mountain of waste, Basil, a solitary botanist in his mid-twenties, persists in his botanical research. Amidst the desolate landscape, he stumbles upon a peculiar, glowing plant, its vibrant color contrasting starkly with the gray, lifeless surroundings. Intrigued, he carefully uproots the plant and brings it back to his makeshift greenhouse, a sanctuary of greenery amidst the waste. The plant begins to glow with an intense light, casting an ethereal glow throughout the greenhouse. To Basil's astonishment, the light coalesces into a humanoid form, a sentient plant creature with vibrant green skin and luminescent leaves for hair. This leads to an unexpected and heartwarming connection.
