There's Just Something Appealing About Motorcycles With Legs

Another page of space encyclopedia completed, this time the Brakken.

"The creation of the Brakken was a point of contention among the Imsee, as some argued that by intervening in the natural evolutionary process they were upsetting the consciousness within the cosmic intellect and that any knowledge gleamed from their work with the brakken is obscured and illegitimate. Eventually Imsee curiosity overrode any moral quandaries they may have had." - Sagan-V

I'm honestly sort of happy with how this one came out in the end, I've got a few more alien species I want to make introductory pages for, so I've got some cooking to do.

Alright, I've sorta only talked about humans a little bit in my world-building project union-station (working name considering changing it) but earthlings are kinda rare in space, mostly because they don't travel or migrate much. Most humans you'll see wondering the known galaxy are their genetically modified descendants. (I've taken to calling them colonists). Chimeras, are one such group. They're from a tropical world called Amazon (named after the then long gone amazon rainforest). Life on amazon had a higher degree of biological compatibility than on other alien planets, and a unique domain of life which was capable of modifying their own genome by integrating the genes of other organism. So when the first human colonists came to amazon, they opted to splice their genetics with some of the fauna there.

Genetically chimeras are a bit more biologically unstable than other old era colonists in that they're prone to some rather interesting mutations with the most common being the duplication of organs and other body parts. This amazonian is sporting an extra set of arms, which is a fairly common mutation among the population.

another sketch, haven't drawn a humanoid robot / cyborg in a while wanted to see if i could apply some techniques i learned the past few months

PD Tarot Series

3. The Drone

The Drone is a pure-type monster in the shape of a human. They are relics of a bygone era and those that persist past ancient times often have an existence lacking purpose. The Drone is the holder of forbidden ancient knowledge and the keeper of hidden agendas.

The Drone represents servitude, dedication and obfuscation of truths. Those who wield the Drone will find their livelihood in the control of others and their future chained heavily by past transgressions.

This one is a bit unconventional but I wanted to maintain the sort of dream-like, surrealness of regular tarot card.

Slight redesign of the brakken, working on making another info-graph for space-encyclopedia but a few bits I'll share now, unlike a few other sophont species, the Brakken weren't originally a space fairing species in-fact they weren't even sapient. A few centuries prior they were genetically modified by the Imsee and uplifted further by them. So compared to other species in locale space, their societal history is incredibly short. They may look a bit like cats, but their social structure is similar to eusocial insects.

A bit more on the Imsee

Red Dragon, colored pencils

This is a scan, so its not nearly as vibrant as in person. I haven't done anything major in color pencil in years so it was fun to work on this. Also if you haven't noticed by now, I'm a really big dragon fan.

WIP, 4-armed golem lady

Trying to come up with a design for some aliens, these guys are the Imsee, or squid whales as humans like to call them. They have a space-fairing civilization and are responsible for uplifting many alien species.

Work in progress illustration,

I'm slowly working on trying to get better at drawing backgrounds and i want to get in the practice of making more illustrations. There's a little story here, which i wont talk to much here other than its not a particularly happy one.
