If you asked the Managians about themselves, they might bring up their dramatic history, their marvellous cities, extensive art and literature, and of course their striking beauty. To outsiders, they are famous for their remarkable sexual tetramorphism.

The lady Managian typically has a modest grey-green complexion, slimmer built and short stature. Traditionally she is expected to be the primary caregiver of the children and home.

The gentleman Managian comes in 3 sorts:

The Goldhead: Massive with a red-yellow faced covered in caruncles. He is armed with a spur and expected to be strong and independent, traditionally he is a protector of the home.

The Bluehead: Spurless and less muscular, but gifted with a dazzling blue-purple face. He is traditionally expected to be more diplomatic in nature.

The Greenhead: Almost indistinguishable from the lady, the only visible difference is while the lady might develop caruncles as she ages, the greenhead will have none. Traditionally he often takes a “helper role” in the house.

While Managian cultures tend to be quite strict with these roles, the exact nature of what is expected of each varies quite a bit. Managian scholars still endlessly debate whether they should be a “xanthopatriarchy” or “cyanopatriarchy”.

My dinosauroid son.

His name is Kietwukǂ (kǂ spelled as a click from the roof of the mouth) and he's a herdsman of a small village.

Raptor Campfire (2026)

Alt text: A sophont dromaeosaur or troodontid (raptor dinosaur) making fire inside a cave. The background of the cave includes a cave painting and a small waterfall pouring down into the cave.

An annual remake thing that I've been trying to continue since 2020 to figure out how my style and rendition has changed, except for a 2 year break in between. Other than that, I now have a pretty free schedule with no other backlogged ideas, aside from a small backlog that I have yet to post.

That post about r/worldbuilding reminded me, have you ever read 'Dinosauroids revisited'? It's just an old essay I saw going around years ago about the old 'what if non-avian dinosaurs never went extinct and evolved intelligence' thing criticizing the idea that they'd necessarily evolve a human shape, and proposing instead they'd be typically dinosaur/avian in appearance, using ground hornbills as a model of dinosaurs with an evolutionary history similar to humans without looking at all similar.

Yes, I have! Now that I read it again it's really a favorite because it destroys probably the worst spec evo design ever (the Dinosauroid). Though I don't like the remake, perhaps it's because of the colors it really does look like a chicken, and for me, notorious feathered dinosaur defender, to say that, it really isn't that appealing. But then again, evolution isn't supposed to be appealing, that's the point.

(the original "dinosauroid", which sucks, and a remake)

However, then I found out that the original artist of the Avisapiens refined the design, and they do look a lot better, check it out:
