Her design has a lot of influences from skunks and badgers but also has some snake and quail in there. Quail in the wings and snake in the jaw. I will post more on that later.
First post ever. WooHoo!!! This is a work in progress for one of my characters I have been using in a worldbuilding project and show concept. Her name is Houstan. More on her will likely be expanded upon later, as well as the world building project itself.
Thanks for dropping by though.
Their shapes and colours are so creative!
Styraphant ethnicity BIG POST! Basically just going over the main 'flavors' that all styraphants kind of fall into. More detail below the cut!
They can all interbreed and are the same species, but have a lot more genetic variation than human populations on Earth! There are about 6 main 'morphs', but that being said individuals with varied lineages may be a little hard to pin down. When in doubt the shape of ones crest is where most will look when trying to assume! Because that IS where most of the variation resides. Big list inbound.
Star. These are the dudes I've been drawin so far. They tend to inhabit around the center of their planets largest continent, in the more tropical zones. So like to live in wooded areas and lush vegetation.
Flame. These guys are named for the upswept tines on their crest. They are the most Northernly, enjoying mostly temperate climates and migrating as the seasons change to avoid chillier weather.
Fan. These guys are FUN. With large webbed tines on the crests of both males and females. They are darker due to their hot, arid home, so typically built to avoid sunburn.
Scallop. These guys are named because the edges of their crested are, in fact, scalloped. They range from temperate to tropical climates, tending to stick to places on the soggier side.
Disk. These guys have completely smooth crests! They are also the smallest variety, mostly due to their more seaborne nature. They have the widest range of climates and tend to move around the most by a wide margin.
Spade. These have a spade shaped face, obviously, with two large tines pointing directly upward. They are found in the colder, Southern continent, the only variety not found on the mainland. Their thickset frame helps them put up with the cold year round.
This is the gist! They cover a wide variety of crest and body type in these groups as they are pretty different!
Most differences come from the different regions each population has settled in as I'm also thinking that they are an older species. So they've had time to become more sculpted by their environments. They get along pretty well though, like I'm thinking it's odd to not associate with each other!

His back has texture.
Also don’t mind the buttons on his chest. They are magnets for holding things.
Can’t wait! This is going to be amazing!
The Kickstarter for 'Other Worlds', my first ever book, is GO!
Filled with art from Subnautica: Below Zero, the Birrin Saga, and decades of my illustration and concept art.
I took no half-measures creating this book.
The Kickstarter link is here!
A look into the environment layout of Rahlo, along with nine close up species profiles of the native plants!
Feel free to ask questions!
Much of Exoton's plant life is characterized by highly specialized root structures, predominantly growing in a vertical, cone-like shape. Most species are derivatives of a key ancestor, the Giant's Needle, sharing a dense, layered root system with a distinctive spiraling growth pattern. This structure provides exceptional stability and resilience, making root trees some of the planet's densest organic formations. Their durability makes them extremely difficult to fracture, even under significant force.
Love these little guys.
Why not. Sharing the old and grumpy dwarf kula from Neal's favorite garden.
It likes to pretend it's intimidating but it still eats anything Neal offers it. Just needs enough personal space.
he calls it Gnome (not in english tho)
he really wants to be friends
