Description These guys are for Richard-Silcox 's world Antaeus. These are just some random predators. I hope I got what the bauplan right. Here's a quote from Richard: "The most 'complex' creatures (e.g. gnomes and their relatives) are tri-jawed with a proboscis inside (think something like deep sea worms), with two pairs of fins (fins look like those of sharks) and a fish-like body structure. They have 'melons' on their heads for echolocation, and lack eyes. Their respiratory organs are towards the rear, with 2-3 gill holes (akin to lampreys) showing. Their cloacas are on their undersides, in what would be the centre of their chests if they had humanoid bodies."

Thanks Archie, I really appreciate it. I hope to be able to do some of my own drawings for Antaeus at some point, and seeing these has definitely given me more motivation to get on with it. I think that the only thing I would criticise would be the fins- by 2 pairs, I meant 4 fins, not two Still, I really like how you've interpreted the description

Oops! I think I could still change it if you wanted me to.

You can if you want, but personally I like the image the way it is

Okay. Now that I'm thinking about it more, the extra flippers seems harder to add.
