Description

I did an Inktober, but only scanned the stuff now. Sapient alien species sorted by name, mostly having appeared in the written episodes (including the not-uploaded fourth).


Uei: A species of fliers with an excellent sense of hearing. Their eyes are weak and they mainly orient themselves with echolocation, the three ears allowing them to precisely pinpoint directions. Despite them being good at communication, they are seen as being not particularly bright due to them often struggling with technology. The wide range of hearing has them often working as living translators, as seen in Episode 4, where an Uei translated the ultrasound communication of a Teieen into Unicomlang.

Varufoi: Heavy-built and equipped with a good sense of smell. The head fans play a major role in communication. Seen in Episode 2 as a trader of olfactory arts on a space station.

Wahisi: A yellow-furred species expressing itself mostly with positions of the three pairs of jaws. They are uncommon but widespread and little is known about them. Seen in Episode 2 as the rather perverted receptionist of a cheap hotel on a space station.

Xunnm: So far, this species of aquatics hasn't shown up in person, but was briefly mentioned in Episode 2 as an alternative identification for the Doburen individual. Similar to Doburen, they have six pairs or tentacles and communicate by changing colour, but Xunnm are predominantly living on the ground, have four eyes rather than two and their tentacles are retractable.

Yohanro: A species of eusocial exoskeletals, with male, female, worker and warrior castes. Reproductive castes are seldomly seen without the company of several soldiers to guard them. The wings of the male caste are the biggest and iridescent, but too small for flight and used for display instead. Featured in Episode 4 as a male individual watching a puppet show.

Zambularian: One of the more common species of exoskeletals, as well as one of the larger. They are generally outgoing and polite, practically never heard swearing. Seen in Ep. 2 as a food vendor on a space station and in Ep. 4 as a physician.

Interesting to see all the races if your setting - at least so far - explained in theses posts. You did a pretty good job both with the brief descriptions and as always with the pictures themselves.

Well, not all, I had to omit some. And pff, this is the fastest and laziest way for me to draw anything.

It's still informative and looks good. Each of those sketches would have taken my days, at best

Well, matter of practice. It's the same method I used in Destroy Wrist December, so I definitely can draw 31+ things in it in a day and it wasn't taking me more than a streaming session.

Fair point. And I'm sure the practice helps immeasurably. I've been focused on my writing and have barely drawn anything in the last year or two.
