Description Here's PMBO with a new traditional artwork tackling the Crab People world!, this time with a snapshot at their islands

Drawing Anecdotes
Few months ago already speak up of this speculative alien world with my first grand drawing of them , deepening up on their origins and general story up to relative our modern age. Now I'll make a two part series peeking on snapshots of their continents!, specifically here the two east ones.

Beforehand, I'd say some of my inspirations that pumped me out since that last drawing, for say; SteveMobCannon Phtanum B alien world with Hokuto No Ken humans and Jay's Eaton charming characters , both on Twitter very cool.
As well again Sheather888 world of Serina stealing my heart🥺😿😿, and Curious Archive videos on YT pumping out this interest mine!

So, letting it begin!, I'd let myself prattle what's up in here as I tell you; I'd refer from now on the Crab people as the Ebirah people:


The Ebirah people and it's biggest eminences of power were on a historical peak of growth and peace seemingly isolated in the two of it's world north continents, for many of them in more stationary eased lives it seemed at their eyes this whole was the world. But that was far beyond truth at their very nature

Unbelievable as some facts of our own world, like as soon as the end of the silurian there been the first arthropods on land, as that the very first alien to southamerica discovering the region being the Polynesians. The evidence of this as scarce it is, is just as firm sweet as potatoes.
So applies stronger to the Ebirah People and it's marine world, they already had wandered on each continent of this world four continents by the times they needed to express themselves. Step, but not populate, as they had really low population strokes. All of this on the times of nomadic tribes
The islands that I have portrayed here, were some of many surrounding the continents and archipelagos of this world they have wandered since prehistory.

By the present of this drawing, relative to our contemporary age. It's new residents search of their past, most times they'll end in the issue the craft and presence of their ancestors didn't make the test of time, the very buildings they erected with the intent of last, end on corroded woods or fragmented puzzles of rock

But at the very end, what testificate of their existence was their very intent. Carcasses ceremoniously buried, preserved, and on many of their colorful tattoos, revealing on them; narrates just a chunk of their entire lives
Their very decision to call this islands a home; to live, dream and pass away on them. Been the relative to our agriculture age



Northwest chain of archipielagos, their motherland. Where their common ancestor would give descent the Ebirah people. With little but a population over half a million. As insignificant to ours that number could be, their motherland is clearly barren of it's natural treasury, as after all, here is where most of their early history would write in little but barely a continent, through thousands of years

Fortunately, Ebirah people would growth consent of this quite recently, as the land slowly healths again. And is that, very soon their very nature couldn't help but explore further. This is now the less populated by far of all the continents of this world

Despite since medieval times the land morphed in a graveyard of ships and scarred land of warfare campaigns, it's importance in business connections made it in many ways where the most affluent in wise and wealth of the Ebirah people reside.
They'll really tried to put all the eyes on their motherland, attract the riches of the alien continents and new discoveries, but in a way. That air of modesty the many footman had to endure still breaths. Clearly a land enveloped in legend and past through their very origins, two worlds heavily stained on blood and pride.



Southwest grand continent, Native to this land begin to populate the coast and rivers drifting mediterranean thousands of years ago, having to endure conditions that they biologically would had trouble to. From sweetwater they weren't accustomed, to truly independent land critters. Although slowly and through generations, they adapted midly to this conditions.
Still, for their very survival it was vital live along the bodies of water, populating the coast to the oceans, estuaries, rivers and fewer more; genuine sweetwater lakes

Technologically they were backwards at comparison of their northern kin, with the latter having nearly no influence to their lives while being in a feud of war, the native to this land were more focused dealing with this land circumstances.
Truth is, as alien this land been to the greatest chunk of the population, they never had been really disconnected. As handful the interactions were, there'll be many through this period; from the neighbor islands and deserters of armies

Fortunately, most of this iteractions were peaceful and key for the latter survival while wandering this land. An early contact with the closest coast of this continent and the southwest chain of archipielagos begin a age of discovery, further to the entrails of this quirky land.
By the present of this drawing it become the third most populated continent of this world, with over 6 millions dwellers, there is still the prevalence through living along bodies of water. Very little exceptions through villages or researchers gathered in mediterranean lakes. As could be seen on the right drawing of the continent, this is the most arid of the continents



Now, about the scenes depicted on the drawing, I'll quickly explain all of them;

On this drawings, erects island fortifications of the Ebirah people, water Forts. From the many they'll build and rebuild through the ages, surrounding the greater continents. From times of trade and pirates, to suppliers and defenses against warships and aircraft.
In a way or another this islands belong to it's inhabitants rather to an warlord's power pawn, as on top of strong build the very dwellers build their colorful homes.
As so with the arm race makes wars less profitable, relics of war recent and of hundreds years old accumulate


And so, the first idea I've got for this drawing on my mind, the right medium scene. There is another island fort neighbor for the arid continent being just a few kilometers far.
The thing is, a severe landslide occurred after a modest earthquake, the two at shot being tasked with recommunicate with a neighbor east island. But their ship, got stuck in some debris. And after some pull and out with a technician, the ship broke; laugh to not cry

A little fun fact!; the Ebirah People can just jump in place. If you'll call jump lift most of your weight from the ground, as the average Ebirah person can't lift themselves up to air, their toes still on the ground. Might could do it a parallelism with jumpy push-ups. So much that as a matter of fact, they'll even have sports surrounding the most athletic and elastic of Ebirah people that with the right technique, can properly jump alike us!
Have this on mind, that in their heavier world jump could let you to lean at one direction and fall like a seal


And for last, a heartwarming song that inspired me through this drawing completion, that despite it's lyrics. Do connect with any person worldwide and the very Ebirah people by the power of mood and tone, an unforgettable song 😿😹😼😻
