"please, insert your proboscis into a venetritian biltridor my dear, they are certainly delicious this time of year...."



(more uploads are on the way my friends, I am sorry for the scratchy pen quality of this piece, if I remember correctly, I was rather rushed while drawing this...)

One word...eyegasm. Your artwork is inspiring to say the least. I love how you have achieved such an effortless combination of alien and familiar. As with your other works, this is incredible. I would love to know more about this particular species, their biology, history, planet of origin, all of that. You make me crave more! Hell, I would more than settle for just a colored version of this. You = awesome

Have you taken art classes by any chance, or is it just the result of drawing and practicing alot

for the most part, I draw allot... but, I also attend art classes; without the art program i my school during my freshman year of high school, I would likley never have learned how to make use of values and shadows... and if not for the influence of mr. Barlowe, I would sill be drawing the boring, standard dragons and 'knights' I was wasting my time with back in the eight grade!

Wow, this is great. I really love your art style

By the way, I'm still absolutely amazed by how much you've come on in the past year or so. Looking back at your older work, you'd almost think they were done by a completely different artist

How Lovely! Nothingsays "I love you" more than a ripe venetritian biltridor!

I get the feeling of a sort of, Japanese-style dinning. They sit on the floor and consume freshly killed prey, so I like that analogy, was it intentional? The sophonts themselves are tremendously facinating! Everything about their anatomy seems entirly alien, so all the more better! The cephalons seem especially interesting to me, what is their function? And one more question... Are they hermaphrodites, male/female, or some totally alien gender combination? Or could they be gay?

haha, indeed!

actually, I was not thinking of japanese cusine while drawing this, but I supose the anology fits... the platter they share is actually held by their limbs, rather than table legs, althouygh I cannot remember why...

the cepholons are not in fact cepholons at all (they have none), merly large fleshy appendages that spew chemical comunication signals. their feeding orfice protrudes from what would look to us to be their torso. no, they are hermaphoditic... I really need to start drawing more dimoprphism...

Yes I saw their limbs holding the platter. Perhaps some cultural feature linked to their hermaphrodetic gender. It looks like they could be engaged in a sort of tug-of-war through some emotion akin to foreplay or affection.

Ah, so their sensory organs are placed throughout their bodies. That would imply a ganglia-system of conscience; very alien indeed. And good going on the smell based main sensory system.

perhaps...

well, for the most part, they simply have that fleshy plume of chemical emiters and receptors... yes, I had figured I had never designed something with a smell based comunication system, so it might be interesting, I shall do so more often.
