Hey everybody, go check out @simon-roy 's new book Refugium on Kickstarter! If Simon's reputation on its own somehow isn't enough to convince you to back it, there's a whole mini specbio guidebook with entries from me and like a ton of your other favorite artists probably.

Here are my little aliens without the text and weathered effects

The Crone's Mantle

Traipsing through the marshy lowlands of Western Altamira's south, one may come across an unusual member of the pentapoda, colloquially known as the Crone's Mantle.

This shallow-water specialist, standing 7 feet tall at the peak, spends the warm months similarly to most large pentapods, feeding on water plants and drawing much of its energy from the sun. Come the shorter days of the cold season, however, the Mantle seeks a different source of energy.

Conserving what limited energy it can draw from sunlight during the short days, the Mantle roots itself in place along shallow stretches of rivers and streams. Its unusual downturned sails create shade that attract small squilloids, which, upon sensing the movement with its bristly legs, are snatched out of the water with its anterior appendage and flung into the Mantle's ventral mouth.

The Mantle shares its home with a variety of semiaquatic rasps, wading terrestrial squilloids and - most notably - predatory grapplers. The slow-moving Mantle defends itself with loud trumpeting from two respiratory organs atop its conical back, and if that's not enough, its ventral sails secrete a foul-tasting oil that deters most predators.

Hopefully not too late @simon-roy

Speaking of dinosaurs have you heard of CM Kosemen he has alot of series about dinosaurs like "dinosauroids"

I only just looked up his stuff now, but tbh I just love the lore behind dinosauroids. I appreciate Koseman's take on dinosauroids bc he's right, the original imaginings of dinosauroids is way too biased towards a human design.

But this? Simon Roy and Koseman are massive brained for this one

First Knife aka Protector #1-5:

Arguably the best world building I've ever come across in comics. Inspired sci-fi realism story blended with Artyom Trakhanov's otherworldly, surrealist, almost cubism like style.

I've been posting these on twitter and instagram, but for Kaijune, I wanted to share a classic story of mine from 2017 - "THE OXPECKER AND THE ELEPHANT" - a tale of castaways and friendly natives, and the culture clash between them...

Victor Toledo's quest for oil riches of Titan clashes with the determination of Dr. Feroza Merchant. Stranded amidst the untamed robots of the petroleum jungle, their survival is not guaranteed, and danger lurks behind every metallic tree.

In this mechanical labyrinth, the engineer and the biologist unravel the mysteries of an alien ecosystem. Will their unlikely alliance unlock the boundless potential of space travel, or will the horrors they unleash spell the end of civilization as we know it?

Petrolea is a science fiction novella about love in a nest of robot dragons.

Updates Tuesdays and Thursdays on Royal Road and (one week earlier) Patreon.
