Description
Droyne are an awesome race in the Traveller RPG universe, but as I can't draw, my choices of representing them are rather limited. Thankfully has made available the Reptilez at RuntimeDNA [link] . An awesome critter in and of itself, but similar enough to a Droyne that I think I can kitbash from other sources to make a believable alternative. Need to find some better wings and parent some oval primitives over the eyes to give them the distinctive egg-shaped Droyne eyes, but so far I think I might be on the right track.Related content

I wonder: your religion forbid all the faithful to draw or it is only you how made a personal vote sacrificing that birthright? Β
Because you obviouslly do have a quite good visual imagination, far above median, and that's use to be all someone may need to draw. That more practice make great draws. Unless some superior reason says that someone "can't" draw, like Dedalos saying to his son "Dont fly too close to the Sun".
Β lol.Β I'm being boring here! Any way: nice image, good work. Β Β

well... my imagination and abilities are on different levels to be sure. Β Granted I have enough artists friends that I've picked up a few things along the way but any sort of freehand drawing skills I may have are elementary and amateur. Β My imagination is far to impatient to allow me to struggle on something when my chosen medium can be harnessed much more efficiently. Β Still, I thank you for calling me out. Β I too don't really go for absolutes, so saying 'can't' I concede is inaccurate
Thanks, and I'm glad you like it regardless

Epic wings or the V4 wings may be what your after.

yah... used a set of wings from a V4 angel/demon set I have, but I definitely look into those. Thanks!

I considered picking up those Reptilez for use as Droyne.... but I'm not sure that the eyes really work. Close, though! A cool experiment

Yah... figured I'd grab some egg-shaped primitives and parent them over the eyes.. a quick and dirty solution but it should work

Droyne extended his wings to block his partner, then said, "Relax, Earth monkey, I got this."
Kidding aside, nice work, Niceman.

Agreed on the eyes, might also figure out which Caste of Droyne you're aiming at to adjust the build, wings and height.

Very true... just messing with the general shape at this point, but Sixus1 made build and height dialed parameters for his critter so that can also be for when I'm trying to represent specific ones
