Fentil stuff has been slow on here because I've been doing some more traditional drawings on PAPER! Gosh me!

So here's two rostralocephalonates (electroheads), both of which live near the coast., the springters live on the shrapnel of islands, Ryka and the trundlers live a bit further inland on the North-West coast of the Northern continent.

Both have a similar diet of shoreline carrion and digging creatures, while still willing to catch more active prey when opportunity arises.
Unlike Sprinters, however, Trundlers have a massive electrical organ which can slam out powerful electrical discharges to stun prey (such as the shown ruby sea-sparrow)

(thought I'd try colouring the trundler using that whole soft light thingie.)
Its grey, speckled skin camouflages it against the grey pebbly flats near the deltas. The bioluminescent tissue on its feet give off electrically charged scent particles and help the territorial trundlers know where each other are at a distance by smell and their electrical sense. The light is a bi-product and the creatures are blind. The flabby muscle flaps at their sides carry 'fat' (which also stores 'protein') for insulation from the cold. If food is scarce on shore, they can also use these in a ray-like fashion to swim in shallow water.

Springters are more distantly related from beach climbers and other quadrupedal and hexapedal rostralocephalonates, and scour the Rykan shores for food. They can swim between smaller islands and hunt in the water.
They too have the glowing scent glands on the padded 'front' legs.

I really don't know why it's taken me so long to get these on here, these guys came into being around the same time as the beach climber (another electrohead). The trundlers, to me feel british, perhaps its their dull colour and being overweight or just their living in the cold, horrible northern weather.
I shouldn't complain about the weather, though, the weather's been nice here for the last week or so ^_^'

After Avatar and after reading certain very good sci-fi book, using bioluminescence has started to feel like a cheap copy, which isn't fair, really. Why should they get all the fun?

Anyway. So this bioluminescence is different to the photophores of luminopticates, which have collectives of tiny lights as opposed to the electrohead subcutaneous glowing tissue

Also, I try really hard not to make ventrally hinged mouths look...dodgy.

That is all, you may leave now.
