Swooce!!! Wasn’t feeling very inspired w my aliens so I made a quick doodle of someone else’s instead!!!

(Ignore the fact she’s naked i am NOT going to attempt to draw birg clothes)

Swooce belongs to the talented @iguanodont btw!!!! Go check them out :)

Had to draw @extrajigs Whorls with my species, the Lirri as soon as I saw them. They're tripedal pentapod friends!

I finally (got help) slapping Wordpress into shape and Runaway to the Stars is now releasing as a public webcomic! Thank you so much for your support over the years, and sticking with me while I'm slowly chewing my way through this book. I'm very excited to share this story! It'll be updating every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday thanks to the massive Patreon backlog. Patreon will continue to update as I finish pages, which happens on a sporadic non-schedule.

If you experience bugs with the site report them to me. Some things may occasionally break, as coding problems tend to be a very "whack-a-mole" affair; and I'm still getting used to the interface.

NEW ALIEN AGAIN! This one I wanted to stick to being more Earth inspired, connecting with my roots. I'm calling 'em Styraphants cause they're mostly a mix of styracosaurus, elephant, and mollusk of course. Trying to make a quad walking sophont always lends to kind of a centaur-ish body plan, so tried to think outside the box for appendages this go around. They've got a pair of trunk tentacles around their mouth that they use as their hands, which have a fleshy 'zipper' to slot together at rest. They also smell/taste with them so gloves are a very popular purchase.

Oh also! Their eyes are on little stalks that peak out around their frill, they can hide them away if scared. Also all the fellas pictured here are gals! They have a male/female system in keeping with the Earthling megafauna theme.

NEW ALIEN

I call them Ocira. They're a sort of combination of seals and octopus. They're eusocial and very kind

That wrinkly thing on their chest are their gills, which they can use to express certain emotions.

Their "teeth" are truly spines that can be raised to eat meat, or flattened to chomp plants.

To communicate, they do a sort of drumming and pinching of their swim bladders for different tones and squeaks.

They live on an ocean planet, in shallow, warm waters around reefs.

I might draw them more and tell more about them 😸

Okay so I need someone who's better at landscapes and art style replication than I am to hop on this idea. because this man and his alien planet biome and storyline were made for the scavengers reign art style fr

Baby birrin and the anatomy of their eggs.

Their eggs have protein caps which are exchanged several times during development.

Color changes let attending birrin know the status of the embryo and when a new cap is needed.

A portrait of beloved professor Elias Scrimshaw. Elias is one of the stranger creatures from the species exchange program. An intelligent parasitic entity that can live in and manipulate a host's body for hundreds of years. Elias's species keep active only the bodily systems that are most needed, such as those involved in locomotion and eating. The unessential parts of the body are consumed, often Reducing the host species to what is essentially an animated husk which is kept preserved with a special cocktail of antibacterial fluids produced in Elias's strange asymmetric body. His preferred field of study deals with the biomechanics and life cycles of extraterrestrial parasites. His unique perspective and insight has offered great leaps in interstellar medicine by helping provide treatments for rare and often deadly parasitic infections. Not wanting to offend his host planet he took over the form of a stray cat which he assumed to be a local source of food before realizing it was in fact a common household pet. He has since expressed his deepest apologies for this mix up and has advised cat lovers to perhaps reconsider taking his class.

I love speculative biology so much you would not believe..

yall should suggest which kirby species I should do next... jk jk... unless???

if youre still taking requests - Draw a cool species youve seen in the spec bio community mayhaps?

Here’s a little study w my speculative aliens!!! I wanted to practice how their facial expressions would work with their unique mouth parts, so here’s one trying a dorito and being absolutely disgusted by it. :)

Body horror ish on the fourth panel

These designs r definitely open to change in the future, as this is just a rough draft. Also I just wanted to give credit to @iguanodont and their birgworld as it’s a huge inspiration for my speculative world!!! Pls go check out their work it’s fuckin awesome :))

Did this fun challenge where I designed a creature with randomized traits! This one's traits were: Land animal, mountain environment, deer-sized, specialist herbivore, produces a substance to feed young, and has external ears. I might have to do more of these challenges, as it was very fun!

My Refugium creature design contest entry

It's one sharp float.

Here's the text closeup tumblr forgot when this got posted.

Freshly baked breads from various planets. Some aliens are better at tucking up all their limbs than others. And yes I have Gillie the GMO catgirl standing in for humans, she's close enough.

Styraphant average size ref! They're p large. Lady on the left and gentleman on the right! The males are a good percentage larger than the gals and are mainly differentiated by their 'bottom heavy' crest. Which is mainly for show.
