Cygnus by LordDominic

Cygnus

Something that exists entirely to resolve a plot hole or sorts... it's the lore equivalent of Flex Tape!


Basically, for the past few years, I've been referring to the Jeroban as "Cygnians", based entirely on the fact that the first one I drew is named Deneb, after the star in the constellation Cygnus.
So... how would a race of space jerboas wind up with an interstellar federation laid out like the constellation Cygnus, and call said federation the "Cygnian Federation", despite "Cygnus" being a Greek word for "swan"?


Pure coincidence, that's how! Meet the Cygnus, an avian creature native to the Jeroban homeworld of Danajarba. They just so happen to call it "Cygnus" and it just so happens to look vaguely like a swan.


Design-wise, I decided to take aesthetic elements of the Jeroban and Jelba, the idea of "feathered dinosaur", and a swan, and throw it all in a blender to come up with this monstrosity. And I love it.


Also, this "monster bird" aesthetic gave me some ideas how to move forward with the ongoing Geoterra Meat Quest...
