"Karbes, take a selfie.."

Remember the sleepy gal who was dozing on []' shoulder? That's her - she's fine! :)
[Lara] isn't exactly the poser-type, but I couldn't help it. Oh, and [Karbes] is the ship's "artificial personality", so basically an AI with way too many "lively" features for a created being.

Find some thoughs about this in the replies..

Stealing sleep..
Is a dangerous move.

You see those things on his head? They're called [Raks'van] and make him feel even the slightest tremors around him. So, be careful, the beat of your heart is no secret anymore.

(Yes, slightly impractical skill if you have sleep issues.)

One more sketch I pushed through Photoshop.

Her name is [ Trin'Toro], she belongs to the [] species and the crew of the [Arak'Tera], [Zhaikes]' ship. Oh boi, so many foreign names..

All in all I drew more characters lately, not just random people of my world. I guess I was uncomfortable to draw them, as I was afraid to "not get them right". But I gave up comfortableness. I don't need that anymore (:

I liked this sketch, so I took it further.
[] & [ Nazkarath] from one of the previous uploads. those 2 are fun to draw and equally challenging!

also [Rhaski] in the bottom left corner x) that sketchbook page is a mess.

of a female [], my alien species.
first-glance differences to males:
- tend to be smaller
- have a "flat" chin instead of 2 pointy ends (although there are females with small nubs on their chins too)

I need to make a better sketch though, this one was really quick.

"You are wrong about that," Lilldun announced. She earned a few surprised and equally warning glances.
"I need an explanation," Zhaikes demanded.

snippet from [Fremdling], my novel. [] talks to the leaders of the [Nan-Te'gah] about their.. "climate issues". the scene fits the drawing surprisingly well ^^

"We were attacked." Lilldun's voice snapped his attention back.
"What faction?" he asked immediately.
"Not a faction," she explained meekly. "The Change."
At that, he turned again to his council. Rhaski and the others looked as surprised as he felt. "How can the Change attack you?" he asked in Lilldun's direction. His head tilted into a crooked stance. "Your cities are in the stratosphere. The air pressure is too low and..

...as once said, this wasn't a true cooperation with two equal parts. the [] aren't exactly the selfless saviors, but they aren't evil either.

in the end it was the Zhor Khat who triggered the last shot, which destroyed the [] and their whole world, bursting their planet to pieces.

this is how the [] were created. I assume it's a sadder and more brutal story than expected.

...in the meantime, the [] weren't the only species who suffered from the attacks of the []. the [] were affected too.

so, this was the perfect opportunity for the Zhor Khat to offer a piece treaty to the Darakay, on the promise to eliminate their common enemy. they asked them to join the Zhor Khat and give them a say in their politics in exchange for protection..

about the 3rd species: you are diving into a very dark part of the []'s history here.. the third species is gone, as a result of the war.

they were called [], named by the Zhor Khat who used their own words for them as there was no kind of communication between the two species. the Zhor Khat tried hard to make contact, but the Zarku Ra only answered with violence and destruction...

the word [] is from the main language of the [], called []. I have a small collection of words and an idea of what the language sounds like, a bit of grammar and especially which characters and syllables are most present. based on that I create new words simply as I like. if it sounds and reads nice, I add it to my dictionary :)
