The first of several stunning entries from the insurmountably great Linnea Sterte (aka @turndecassette2 ) for REFUGIUM - a burrowing pentaped, photosynthesizing from a safely half-buried position...

Take a look at the campaign here

Trying hard to find my previous love for drawing >.>

So I’ve sketched two new alien ocs, remembering how much I adored creating alien races and making tons of ocs in our small universe

Industrial light ⚙

An experiment I made to see if I haven't forgotten how to make illustrations in my style.

Also it represents tovoxran cities' vibe and aesthetic (idk if it's cringe to use that word or not), basically steel beams, gears, metal scaffoldings and pipes everywhere. Just industrialism and utility.

The drawing itself is showing a heat generator in one of underground tovoxran cities on Tillturn (their homeworld). In the past they used to build their cities around active volcanoes or lava lakes for heat, because the whole cave system is cold, covered in ice and snow. Now they can build everywhere, as their technology allows that.

pov: aliens speak in a way that is impossible for humans to mimic with our own voices and mouth shapes so we’re just improvising

human 1: this is my alien friend, Steve

human 2: Steve..? sorry it’s just i didn’t think extraterrestrials would have such.. human names

steve: oh, steve is simply what my human companion here calls me

human 2: oh? what’s your actual name?

steve: *alien noises that are incomprehensible to human beings*

human 2: …yeah alright, we’ll go with steve

On the left, an older caretaker from some island culture. Sleepy babies get to hold on the adult's piercings. The ones too young get a ride in the basket.

On the right, an egg arch (a reproductive leader) of a coastal culture. The babies on their neck don't have the balance to walk but might not be so sleepy. Unlike the caretaker the arch carries their own children. They make great accessories but being your parent's keychains is also a good exercise, experts say.

Climbing on big uniimas is natural to a baby. Since uniima are evolved to be arboreal, it's better they can climb and grip as soon as possible. Their giant heads make it easy to hold their full weight on their jaws.

Before becoming a parent or a caretaker, one needs to realize they will also become a tree, a mountain, and a hanger.

recent drawings I’ve made for a alien worldbuilding idea!

Kuvontir are a sophont alien species on a planet they call Vehnen. The largest species (central straight) average a size of 86 cm. The others are all somewhat shorter than them. They are primarily dependent on obtaining food from water sources, as they are mostly piscivores. The two central populations have used their ‘wings’ to glide above water and catch food.

While the north and south populations have lost that ability. Northern Kuvontir have become built to run from predators. While the southern population has used their ‘wings’ to help them dive under water.
