The Mars people

This is one of my first creations about posthumans of which I had made for a project long forgotten, called "Walking with posthuman" the synopsis of it was to see the evolution of post-humanity in the next 300 million years after humanity. The Martians supposed to be a genetically modified species to inhabit the almost terraformed red planet. An outstanding feature of them are strange appendages protruding from the sides of the head, technically, they are a modification of the ear.

Their function is to protect the face when sandstorms occur. The strange appendages are designed to cover both the mouth, nose and eyes. The two upper parts have a kind of transparent cover that allows the hominid see where it goes.
