Well. This illustration took INSANELY longer than what I expected. There are multiple factors, one of them is because one creature (try to guess) has complicated shapes.
This is one piece of one 'universe' I have in my mind.
I will not enter in details (as some things may change), very basically they are an alien race, named by humans as 'GaRaKi' who, (for humans surprise) came from a human space-gate.
They vary in shape because their bodies have some sort of mutations/complex -multi dna that came from their progenitors that also developed in their early stages depending on their environment (temporal justification).
For now, their names are (excluding the bad-drawn human; from left to right): Libios, Morbassa, Agnus, Patha and Violette.
His species wander through space, and since actually they are very few individuals, they command huge armies of non-sentient biotic machines that do everything for them.
Even though there are several stages of development, these are all in the same stage.
Let me know your thoughts on this.
EDIT1: Added some pre-shadows/illuminations.
EDIT2: Added some sort of illuminations. Going to left this for now.
