Cosmosis

Cosmosis is the process that occurs when a being is in or around Gammal's last resting place, the Leon galaxy.

Its stemmed from Gammal's influence, which inexplicably has strange effects on mortals; though this process has slowed due to the death of the Cosmo, as her aura depletes. Creatures still actively change but at a much slower rate than before.

Cosmosis causes beings to rapidly evolve sophoncy and bipeal forms (or in other words, theyre changed in a way that resembles Gammal's image).

*i misspelled opposable lmao

Basically alot of the creatures in Leon Galaxy are people because of cosmosis, most notably descendents of animals from earth; this is because the now banished humans had carried livestock and pets onto their ships and when they got banned from leaving their galaxy they left behind these animals, though most of them died, some adapted to the ecological niches of these alien planets and gained sophonce.

(Some examples of earth animals who evolved to adapt to their planets and as a result of cosmosis)

The avian species of Che, descendants of various avian species on Earth, such as penguins and finches.

The nura and other amphibians from Limu, descendants of Earth's newts and frogs.

More random bullshit. 👍

Another alien species design

👽❄️

Is a random drawing of these intelligent alien species I just created.

And also, maybe I will draw more of these guys.

So... My first actual post on this account! This is Rilicai, a Kerilone (race of vaguely equine sophonts) that I've been designing recently. She lives on a swampy planet orbiting a M-Class star.

Four Kerilone outfits for various occasions. Dyes are not very common and quite hard to make, so most everyday clothes are undyed as in the winter outfit. However, red and blue dye - red from a plant, blue from various shellfish - are available. Kerilone courting takes place in the summer. The Kerilone are protandrous hermaphrodites, which means they all hatch male and gain the ability to become female upon reaching maturity. Females are larger than males, with darker colouring, and are less agile but stronger than males. Every year in winter the Kerilone shed their summer coats and grow new, white and fluffy winter coats (not shown in the picture), as well as losing their sexual characteristics as well as their ability to reproduce - the winters are very harsh, so all of their energy is needed simply to survive. After the winter, young adults can become either male or female: they have a modicum of choice in the matter, but it is largely down to environmental influences. However, as they age they lose the ability to become male and remain female for the rest of their lives. Like most Earth species they do not go through a menopause, however the average amount of chicks a Kerilone will rear in their lifetime is only about ten.

Rilicai in the rain. Inspired by how rainy it is where I live at the moment. Rain is pretty common where she lives as well, but she doesn’t normally go to the forest - most of her species live in or on mountains.

Hakiri!! I haven't drawn any birdpeople in almost a year, it's nice to get back to them. The helmet design is subject to change, though - I might make it a little more Spartan in style. :-)
