I hope it isn’t obvious that I’m obsessed with bird sophonts.

Just a couple of sketches of the alien shrimp bois I wanted to share—the Nar-Haan! They’re a peaceful, tribal-like civilization living deep within the caves of Blue Moon, a rogue planet orbiting a black hole. With Blue Moon, I wanted to emphasize the idea that life always finds a way—even in the most extreme and unexpected conditions.

The Nar-Haan never developed advanced technology, but they use bio-organic gadgets powered by natural biological processes to help them in their daily lives. While their intelligence is high enough that they could become a spacefaring species if someone uplifted them, nobody even knows they exist—until the crew randomly encounters one of them: Vek-Tor (the one with the purple face).

The only light source in the Nar-Haan’s caves comes from bioluminescent fungi growing along the ceilings. However, their environment is usually very dark, which is why their most important body regions can emit pulses of light to communicate over long distances.

When interacting up close, they use their feelers to physically connect, exchanging brain signals directly. This allows them to understand each other’s thoughts and even emotions without words. Their entire form of communication is based on electrical signals rather than spoken language.

I’ve already written some pages about their culture and other details, but I don’t have much time to fully develop them at the moment. I might, though—depending on how much people want to see more of these guys, lol. I’ve just been and still am extremely busy drawing art for our overall setting.

Hopefully, I’ll get the chance to develop Blue Moon in its entirety someday. It’s been my passion project for years—a way to explore a strange planetary environment in deep detail. Aside from my character (the Commander), it’s the only thing that truly reflects how emotionally connected and fascinated I feel to space and evolution as a whole.

I noticed I never uploaded the main sheet of the Uru, whoops. Anyway, here they are! Some lore can be read up here:

Uru species

Uru are highly educated, peaceful, feathery beings with utopian living standards. Poverty and homelessness have been eradicated since every

[transentience-universe]

Zens species

The Zens are a sophont plantoid species with bodies formed through cycles of growth, shedding, and renewal. They arose from the tangled roots of their homeworld which they used to share with the Kix, an insectoid sophont with whom they formed a delicate, symbiotic relationship-, one created via mutual survival rather than prior servitude. Where the Kix contribute motion and efficiency, the Zens add patience and wisdom, and their civilizations intertwine like the ecosystems that gave life to them. This friendship is no longer as strong as it once was due to decades of modernization and galactic movement, to the point the Zens forced the Kix to look for a new planet for their own. Their cultures are becoming exceedingly less dependent on one another and efforts to repair the ecological damage caused by the Kix's prior aggressive industrialization are still underway by the Zens. The Kix will follow next in a few days, but you may take a peek on our Patreon : ) https://www.patreon.com/posts/kix-123164814
