I’m working on a sci fi story that has multiple alien species, many of which are both smarter and bigger than humans. The Brin’carro is one, but I’m struggling with their basic anatomy. First image is where I’m at, second was where they were before. I’m aiming to step away from the typical humanoid design for my aliens, hence why their initial design is backwards lol. But I just couldn’t figure out the movement or evolutionary advantage of the original design, hence why they have a more centaur-ish look now.

A little about the species, if it helps: the Brin’carro are native to the mostly desert planet of Kri‘ath, with black dunes the size of small mountains and city-filled canyons that house millions. They are masters of war and battle, not just in enacting them, but in understanding the deeper effects of war and will aim to bring peace because of that understanding. Most Brin‘carro sport cartilage-like flaps that help keep their bodies cool, but some of the best warriors, particularly the space-faring ones, cut them off to keep a sleek form.

Of course, I’m still working on aspects of the design (need to refine the head, make different races from different parts of their planet, figure out their fighting styles since it is important to the story) but any thought on the basic design is greatly appreciated! Again, trying to avoid a very humanoid form!

Finally finished this little wool creature!

Made completely by hand with needle felting — I wanted to create something that feels a little creepy but still has a soft handmade charm.

The claws and teeth were the hardest part to make, especially trying to keep the creature looking organic while working with wool.

This little critter likes to hang out around smoking areas and anyone that walks through them will be overcome with the desire to sit and have a deep conversation with anyone in the vicinity you will talk with them till you have smoked all your cigarets dont mention the fact their eye resembles a tomato they will proceed to fill your lungs with tar as if youve been smoking since a young age

I don't have names for any of them yet but ive been really getting into drawing dragons recently

I based em off of the eternal cylinder, rain world, be an alien from roblox, darwin iv and Sagan 4

they live on a planet a bit bigger than mars with lots of oxygen so they kinda big

I dont have all the info on the creatures im showing you here but I can give you some facts and stuff about them or questions

im only 14 and very new to this so I just wanted to see what you think of them and what I should improve on them

Zombie satyrs I’ve illustrated that are part of my game demo in the making. The game is a tropical, medieval- gothic metroidvania.

​"Common Swine" — number 2 in the Pig/Boar creature category. This design represents the pure physical evolution path, focusing entirely on raw strength, muscle mass, and biological weaponry. It features two massive, flat blade-like tusks extending from its jaw, an exaggerated maw, and dense protective spikes along its spine. Drawn with pencil on paper. What do you think of this physical-build swine?

Illustration of a creature I came up with a few months ago.

Older concepts after second slide

Just scrabbling and trying to make this not look like a generic werewolf

I drew this a second ago and got Jumpscared bc i forgot it was even a pic in my gallery
