A redraw of my eldritch sona I drew last year.
Another sophont I've been working on. I've been trying to design these guys for a while. They've had a lot of iterations figured it was time to post them here.
Anyway, here are the Ah'Chikiri, reptile like aliens from a dying world.
The Ah'Chikiri home-world is a little bit like mars, it orbits a red giant and the majority of their worlds oceans evaporated a long time ago. Water still exists on the surface, but its isolated to lakes and aquifers. Rain is rare and generally unpredictable.
Their civilization is actually quite old, and predates the Imsee, by thousands of years. They used to be an FLT-capable civilization as well but at some point in their history their interstellar civilization collapsed and only the populations isolated on their home-world survived. Most of what remains of their civilization prior to contact with aliens in the modern era are a bunch of city states warring over the remains of their ancient technology, what they call "Earth-Eaters", Many millennia old autonomous machines created to terraform their dying world.
The Ah'chikri reproduction system is somewhat unique in that they have androdioecy, so their two most commonly occurring sexes are males and hermaphrodites. The hermaphrodite sex is generally larger than their counterparts.
Ah'Chikiri eggs are hatched in water and can under go two forms of metamorphosis either into a nymph and develop into a type of tadpole where they later grow into juvenile Ah'Chikiri or into a barnacle form and become filter feeders, during this state they can produce more Ah'Chikiri larva through budding. So a single egg can reproduce a ton of Ah'Chikiri.
Young Ah'Chikiri don't really need their parents to survive, and will generally form small nomadic troops among themselves. I'm still working on their social structures as it varies a lot more by culture than it does with other sophonts.
A tree thing and some robot drawings, not sure what direction i was going for the last robo but it was fun to draw
The parasitic wormfolk of Gnth are amicable people, they wear masks to give themselves faces
Just my current (wip). I'm working on another short comic, its only going to be a few pages, but hopefully you'll find it interesting. I'll post the whole comic once I'm finished drawing it
The Imsee are a race of aliens, I've been working on for a little while now for a world-building project called Union Station, an extra-firm scifi setting which is a lot of things, but is strongly inspired by DS9, and among other things. The Imsee are one of the core founding species of the setting and are essentially responsible for uplifting multiple alien races prior to encountering humans.
Sketches of Colonist, Fashion Ideas
Colonists are a subset of humans who ere genetically modified to adapt to exoplanets. Very few alien worlds in my setting Union Station, are habitable for humans and the ones that are tend to have issues with biological incompatibility, colonists use a combination of genetic engineering and cybernetics to bridge the gap between their own biology and that of the worlds they've settled.
This colonists is a descendant of early humans who adapted to low gravity worlds
Old art - Comics
A short webcomic I made for the WOMBATS, a local art group I used to be apart of. It was a fun little project to make, and the characters are very much inspired by Miis.
Imsee, sketches
Just some doodles of my alien squid whale guys. Trying to get a better feel on how to draw them
Sketches of constructs made by the Imsee, alien squid whales. Their design is modeled after their creators and as such they are excellent swimmers
Learning to draw mechanical things, decided to make some cyborgs. They have literal face masks, its more of a stylistic choice on their part
