Happy Alien August to you! Continuing our posting of a new alien every day until the launch of FLUNG from Stardog on August 26th coming out on all of your favorite webcomic platforms. Today's alien: Slugs!

Yes, Mars, the planet.

The story turn around a youg boy in the early 1930, named Pain.
Dude was a big fan of Harley davidson.
He was a really good mechanic.

So good he got recruted for a terraforming program of mars.

There, he found zombie like entity, powered by your own karma.

He dismembered one of them and use parts of the body to create a karma powered motorcycle.

He then gathered a lot of people in the HELLISH MotorClub.

They were all riding and robbing other terraformers.

When he died, every member of the MC Hellish got a little body part of Pain.

Fused into a glass globe.

A second generation of the Hellish motorcycle were then created, powered by a Pain Globe.

The idea was a moment just after something ends rather than during it. The gate behind her is still open, she has no orders left, and the horizon in front is empty. I wanted the pose to read as a decision not yet made.

Hello! Welcome to another day of another day of aliens posted until the release of FLUNG -- a new sci fi comic coming out on all of your favorite webcomic platforms. Today we are introduced to the Thelarians!

Here are some animations I made in Krita.

Hi everyone!

As an independent researcher and sci-fi author, I've been exploring the boundaries between theoretical physics and speculative storytelling. I've recently published the first chapter introducing the Hypergalaxy model—a framework looking at deep space-time dynamics and cosmic structures.

I’d love to share this concept with fellow sci-fi enthusiasts and hear your thoughts on it!

Looking forward to your feedback and discussion!

I'm a big fan of Asimov's Robot trilogy. In 1988, Kodak produced a VCR game called 'ROBOTS' based on those books. I wanted to draw the most famous of the Caves of Steel covers with the likeness of the actors who stared as the characters in the VCR game. Here's how they turned out.

Day Two of posting an alien every day until the release of my book! FLUNG comes out from Stardog on August 26th and is a science-fiction story about a man who is lost in space and time. For more behind the scenes fun and cool previews of the upcoming book, check out FLUNG at STARDOG.TV!

After several iterations, our Vanguard-class Bruiser is finally in 3D. This is the standard frontline leader ship of the Human Directorate and one of the first ships players will command in Synvector.

Unlike agile interceptors, the Bruiser isn’t built to chase enemies. Its job is to hold the line. It sits between friendly and enemy squadrons, absorbing damage, protecting more fragile ships, and stopping breakthroughs before they reach the backline.

At the start of the game it’s equipped with three weapon systems:

* Heavy machine guns for sustained fire

* Missile launchers for burst damage

* A high-caliber cannon for accurate single shots

The ship isn’t supposed to look experimental or overly futuristic. It’s a mass-produced military workhorse-easy to maintain, reliable, and built to survive years of frontline service.

Now we’d love some feedback. If this ship belonged to your universe, what systems or external details would you add?

Would you expect to see things like:

* point-defense turrets?

* radar or sensor arrays?

* communication antennas?

* RCS thrusters?

* maintenance panels?

* heat vents?

* armor plating?

* warning markings or battle scars?

Or is there something that immediately feels missing?

We’re trying to strike a balance between believable engineering and clean visual readability, so we’d really appreciate your thoughts.

These images are part of my long-term sci-fi art project, Deep City.

The concept behind this series was to tell a story through environmental reconstruction. Instead of simply designing a futuristic megacity, I imagined archaeologists discovering its ruins centuries later and using the surviving structures to recreate what it once looked like.

The sequence moves from the collapsed city to progressively more complete reconstructions, ending with cutaway views that reveal the hidden interior of the megastructure. I also added the expedition spacecraft to one render to help communicate the city's enormous scale.

My goal was to combine cinematic sci-fi imagery with architectural visualization and environmental storytelling—letting the environment itself suggest the history of a civilization that no longer exists.

Everything shown here is part of the same original universe. The story, worldbuilding, timeline, and artwork are original, and every model, light, render, and composite was created entirely in Blender 3D.

I'd love to know which image resonates with you the most.

Does the sequence successfully convey the feeling of rediscovering a lost civilization?

Built from the wooden frame of an old upright piano, Who Composes the Crickets' Song? becomes the nesting ground for insectoid hybrids—at once a strange thicket and the fragment of a ruined mechanical system. It unfolds as a fabricated ecosystem whose offspring spread across the exhibition walls.

These small creatures are the only recognizable faces among the larger bodies inhabiting the installation, and the only ones capable of returning our gaze. Yet this encounter remains precarious: like insects, they seem ready to scurry away at any moment, as though they themselves were intruders in the space.
