Receive. Consume. Digest. Defecate.
While not something I've ever actually drawn, and it's something that actually sorta creeps me out at times, if there's anybody that might be worth drawing doing some "vore" and have a good reason for doing so, it might just be the Lightbearer himself!
I haven't drawn him doing so yet, but he can drain the life-force out of creatures and leave the shriveled husk of their bodies behind, sorta like a vampire. I'm sure he enjoys a bit of meat from time to time, though, and I'm sure some of the creatures I draw are actually quite tasty.
(If this line/quote was a pop culture reference, I totally missed it, sorry!)

Sorry very obscure your side of the pond. It's an English tradition, football (with the round ball) is played in the winter, when its cold and wet standing on the terraces a hot pie keeps you fed and your hands warm while you're eating it. But in times of austerity the pies run out. So anyone looking a bit on the fat side is at risk of getting chanted at "Who ate all the pies" to the tune of knees up mother brown - probably also obscure on your side.

Wait, when you guys play "foot ball", you use a ball not an oval, and you... kick it... with your... feet??
Sounds like communism, Muslim atheism, and possibly The Gay. Where's my cheeseburger and my assault rifle?In all seriousness though, I'm only vaguely aware of sportsball culture on this side of the Atlantic, so the culture surrounding it in other countries would be downright alien to me!

I can respect that deeply, I could be sentenced to stand in the rain watching kick the ball with your feet

Since the subject came up, I have actually considered that some variant of soccer/football could be a popular sport in worlds with a variety of sapient species with different body plans.
Of course, safety precautions would have to be taken for creatures with horns etc. but the idea of a game where the ball has to be kicked or perhaps grabbed and thrown, but can't be carried, and has to be put into a goal seems like it would be compatible with both anthropomorphic and quadrupedal body types.

Would it be too weird to suggest something along the lines of Polo but with the mount more sapient than the rider. Thinking about it we have fox hunting so it's already been done.

This has definitely gone in an odd direction, from an obscure English football reference, to rambling about Space Satan possibly engaging in vore-adjacent activities, to an explanation of the reference and sports traditions, to discussing interspecies sports...
I have a few worlds where multiple sapient species of different sizes with different body structures coexist, either naturally (like Geoterra) or because of interplanetary interaction (live some of the various as-yet-unnamed trade hub and mining colony worlds), so coming up with sports that everyone can play is an interesting little side thought experiment. In a soccer-type game, I feel like a major rule would be that the ball can't be carried, but it can be thrown, which would allow creatures with hands to pick it up and throw it provided they don't take more than one step from where they grabbed it, and horned creatures could catapult the ball where they want it to go. The rest of the game would probably look a lot like soccer or rugby then, I suppose, but some degree of safety equipment would probably be mandatory as nobody wants to be impaled by an impala's horns or take a hoof to the face, and the use of psychic/magic abilities would be banned outright.
Something akin to polo could definitely work too, and it would have an interesting new degree of teamwork and coordination as the mount and rider would have to work together to win. I'm not at all familiar with polo either, if I'm being honest the only "sports" I really understand are bowling (roll ball at pins) and NASCAR (drive fast in circle).
(Which, for the record, I think is fine--as a form of entertainment, sports, pro wrestling, video games, movies, drawing kicking a can down the street, whatever, are all valid so long as it's entertaining to the individual.)
This would get even more complicated when cyborgs and fully mechanical androids and automechs are added to the mix--we already sorta have robotics competitions on Earth, and it might be sorta cool to see what futuristic robotics competitions are like! In many ways I figure they'd basically be more like action-packed tech demos than proper sporting events, though, as robots playing football would be demonstrating the capability of their targeting and trajectory-calculation systems as well as the physical capabilities of their limbs and bodies. Games more akin to baseball would be a test of a machine's ability to track, predict, project and react to moving objects and their trajectories, as well as whatever unit is up to bat being able to process that information and then deflect the ball in the desired direction with the desired velocity.
A lot of fine-tuning and calibration would go into that stuff, even in a futuristic setting where anyone with enough money can buy basic but fairly competent multi-role droids with relative ease.

We used to have a TV program called Robot Wars, competitors built within a specified set of rules robots to compete against each other, these were not true robots as radio controlled but good entertainment and it did lead to a few patent-able ideas, the standard of machines improved greatly over the years.

My Dad always used to say "All sport is madness, to each his own madness" probably a quote from somewhere.
I was watching wheel chair rugby at a friends house the other day, I think someone decided to make a tamer, gentler form of rugby for disabled people - no one told the players! really tough competitive sport. They allow up to two able bodied players per team and there really is no advantage, possibly the opposite.
I need to understand Geoterra, who inhabits it cannon law etc. I picked up the name but not much else and obviously abused it when writing my short fan fiction, time permitting I will write more possibly taking your advise to make my own universe, unless you object possibly continuing more of the same. It could be fun doing a sports commentary.
I started a new job on Thursday so my retirement was not a successful as it might have been, it's early to say but I think I'm going to enjoy this one certainly better than the last, I may get to work on breaking systems associated with the regenerative capabilities of electric drive trains for lorries so a lot more worth while than stick on door mirror covers etc.
As you can see by this disjointed drivel my mind is currently in grasshopper mode, I shall not inflict anymore on you - for now.

As previously mentioned, I noticed you got the avatar working at long last... It's still surreal to me to see something I drew staring back at me like that!
We actually had Robot Wars over here as well, on the public broadcasting channel, and I think a few other niche channels (TLC, "The Learning Channel", I think aired it sometimes along with Junkyard Wars before they got into "reality" television drivel) sometimes ran it as well. I remember liking it a bit, but it was on at a weird time so I rarely caught it.
The US equivalent was "Battlebots", I liked that one a LOT more, because the presentation was a bit more exciting, like a sports event. Grant Imahara of Mythbusters fame was actually one of the contestants on Battlebots.
Also, strangely, Battlebots aired on Comedy Central, a comedy channel!Anyways, as those devices were 100% controlled by human operators, perhaps they'd be more accurately described as "drones" than robots? With the advancements in robotics that have occurred over the years, I'd love to see these sort of shows make a comeback, but probably with modified Roombas or something rather than oversized RC cars with buzz saws and hammers.
And then on to your next questions... Geoterra will be a very hard one to explain because it's an ongoing project spanning back 20 or so years. It's how I got my start really seriously drawing "anthro" stuff, and my main inspirations were those fighting monster games like Pokemon and Digimon, with plenty of inspiration from Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry and Disney animated shows thrown in, and a sprinkling of newspaper comic strip influence as well. As a result, the native creatures "evolve" or metamorphose into larger, stronger, and more capable forms rather than a traditional growth model, and "magic" is common and mundane. Technologically, I think the term I want is either "cassette futurism" or "cassettepunk", ie the aesthetics of most tech are an expansion of 1980s/1990s tech, sort of like how "steampunk" is a fantasy aesthetic extension of late 19th century tech (steam power, gears, etc.)
As for their place in the galaxy... virtually unknown. Technologically very similar to modern Earth I suppose, aside from the fact they somehow managed to assemble several massive orbital defense ships and how they pulled that feat off, basically building small Star Destroyers built around a massive mass-driver cannon, I'll probably never actually explain. I imagine it would be like how real aliens view Earth, a developing planet whose stray broadcasts they occasionally detect snippets of, whose probes they occasionally briefly pick up on scanners as a momentary blip of small primitive technology.
Only difference is, for some reason, Geoterra is fairly isolationist--not in a hostile way, but more like that quiet neighbor that might give a half-hearted wave if they see you before going back inside, their orbital defense ships a sort of "no solicitors" sign on their cosmic front door, most attempts at communication being responded to with a polite but blunt "hello, we hear you, but are busy, please don't bother us" type message. Any probe sent their way quietly intercepted and redirected back home, any stray space explorer that gets too close very aggressively guided to dock in one of the orbital ships for a polite but brief and stern telling off and whatever assistance can be provided to help them return home safely before showing them the door.A new job, you say... Time for me to activate my own inner sleazy used-car salesman (his name is Willard and he's a Geoterran badger, by the way) and remind you that I'm open for commissions still!
In all seriousness, though, congrats! It sounds like something that will certainly keep you engaged at the very least.
