Space Woobies

While my computer was dead I didn't really get much artwork done. Most pieces I had planned needed to be done digitally from scratch BUT I did remember there was something I wanted to do that required paper. Basically last time I redrew my alien species Domran... the comparison was kinda unfair in my favor. It wasn't drawn to the best my ability. Basically I was intentionally using a simplified angular style rather than what came naturally (which is the style 2009 Domran was drawn in).

As much as I think 2009 Domran was one of my better pieces from the time period I have gotten a lot better with shape, style and detail since then. I mean that's roughly 7 years ago I would hope so D:. Also Domran haven't changed much as far as core design goes mostly their feet have become more forward facing rather than being elephant like in structure, their tail ends with a stripes rather than a blotch, their visible tooth is flat and their thumb went from being a claw... to being an actual thumb.

Not much else to say except I do hope in this style its a bit more obvious they're.. well not dinosaurs. They're synapsid so basically they're mammal-like but still retain reptilian features. They have small amounts of hairs in certain places with a long thick reddish mane (often referred to as a crest since it has display/emoting properties) down the mid of their head to their back. Their skin is actually more similar to that of rhinos that it is to something scaled like a modern reptile.

So blah blah enjoy!

PS: in reference to the title since reintroducing the Domran to a project in 2013 its become canon this species has nearly went extinct at one point. Their collective population is only a few hundred individuals strong and they no longer have a home planet. Therefore space woobies

    Whoo the domran looks fantastic here! I love the details you put into the folds of the skin in this style. I think it definitely helps make them look less like dinosaurs too - the face in particular looks almost camel-like and those arms have a cool alien feel to them.

      thank you :D yeah more realistically they do look kinda a bit like camels at least in their face. I hope to one day draw all the people species in this kinda more natural style so certain features are more easily understood since the angular style obviously is made to be simplistic (so certain features are lot in translation).

        Ooh that would be really cool, I'd love to see some of the other species in this style if you do get a chance to do them!
