Here's my entry for the spectacular #Refugium2024 contest, arranged by @simon-roy on the occasion of his comic Kickstarter!

Because there were five different clades to choose from, I ultimately picked the photosynthetic "pentaped". It wasn't my first choice, though, as I love the idea of the crustacean-like "skilloids", but the five-legged plant animals seemed like they could be a hell of a challenge. So here is the Helioceros (aka Cherubic Pentaped), an alpine species that stores and uses sunlight as an energy source and for displaying behavior.

Hope you like it! And hey, do not forget to support the Refugium comic! Not every day do we come across projects as cool as this!

The first of several stunning entries from the insurmountably great Linnea Sterte (aka @turndecassette2 ) for REFUGIUM - a burrowing pentaped, photosynthesizing from a safely half-buried position...

Take a look at the campaign here

the pinwheel pentaped a divergent pentaped species who uses it's limbs as a method to generate energy. Really cool but because they necessitate so much metal in their biology they are incredibly rare even on the island they evolved on.

genuine lol @ PENTAPE

Neat pentaped. Lower eyes are for nocturnal vision and upper ones for color vision. Breathing holes are at the bottom of the rib cage. Unsure of the purpose of the mobile iridescent bits on the belly. I assume some kind of visual display? Speaking of visual display, if it peels back its lips against its face it reveals a pair of eye looking spots. The biosphere of its home world apparently contains chemosynthetic plants.

Asova scratched her head, then gifted 5 Shoes of Fabulous Elevation! Wearing the shoe makes one feel slightly taller!

“For the short pentaped in your life!” Asova grinned.

I tried to resist the temptation but the moment I see a pentaped I go insane

I-I….i don’t regret anything heheheh, I somewhat found a way to draw the evil computer/ man! But with extra spice…a tail! For balance ofc!

If you can’t tail (heh) he tolerates the new addition to his body!

Foramen: An Alien Biosphere

Hey! First purely worldbuilding actual post in a bit! I decided to talk a bit about the native flora and fauna of Bor.

So, Bor orbits the red dwarf known as the Daystar, which due to its light, has made all plant life on Bor evolve to be, fundamentally, not green. In fact, it's shades of blue! Just keep this fact in mind.

One thing regarding the alien life was exploring different types of symmetry other than the bilateral kind that dominates Earth. There's still bilateral symmetry, especially regarding humans, but it's uh. Humans didn't really evolve naturally! For reasons that are currently secret. Don't worry about it but it's not like a super important detail, it's in the background and isn't meant to detract from the fairly grounded main story. Purely relegated to the metaplot. So, I'm constantly figuring out different life forms that are on Bor. Vegetation has some similarities, but other ground coverings exist to fill the niche grass does. From slime to plates to just barren dirt. Instead of trees, pillars of tubes rise from the ground alongside giant spikes or rock hard monoliths with a texture reminiscent of brains. Sextapeds, pentapeds, chimeras, ptagons, and pinwheels are the main classifications of animal life. Sextapeds are radially symmetrical megafauna which operate off of muscles and hydraulics. Pentapeds are carapaced radially symmetrical animals where one of their 5 legs has evolved into a grasping appendage. Chimeras are fucked up bilaterally symmetrical critters with a penchant for asymmetry that have scales, feathers, AND fur. Ptagons are like if a bat was a bird and had a cone for a face that split into 3 distinct parts. I don't know how to succinctly describe pinwheels but they're funny. They have a manipulative appendage that also is a sensory appendage. Their mouth is in their torso and is surrounded by tendrilled lips. THey have a tail that's just an arm. They walk on two digitigrade legs. Uhhhh, that's all for now! Kinda scatterbrained as I wrote this because I was futzing with my internet all day but. You know. Drawings of these beasts, or even miniature versions of these beasts, are to come! Oh yeah, when I posted those miniatures? The dog with a man's head was a chimera, specifically a manticore. I would've put more detail on there but I'm still getting good at green stuff.

yeo one: runaway stages

[tragiceyes]

y'all see that fic from Empires?

YOU: What fic from @paperempires?

well, any of them. There are all glorious celebrations of jaydick wonder and love.

meanwhile, i have 12 WIPs that are going nowhere...yet empires cranks out one amazing fic after another. so here is my contribution to the fandom for now...which is to hype folks up.

anyway. back to empires.

praise be to empires...I have to stan such a talented member of the fandom. 

read & reblog to show support and love for the glory of empires.

if you are one of the unenlightened who has yet to be privileged by empires work, LET ME SHOW YOU THE GLORY YOU’VE BEEN MISSING.

A short list of faves:

Unexpected Conversations. Cute lil texting-based fic

All Soulmates Final, No Refunds. One of my faves of all time. We love a undercover friends-to-loves multi-chapter fic. This is co-wrote by Salvatore. Y’all are really spoiling us with this masterpiece

We'll Fuse When We Collide. Lowkey I haven't even read this yet. You know where you know a fic is going to be SO GOOD you just save it for a rainy day to treat yourself to something nice? Does anyone do that but me? Lol. Anyway this was written by two titans of the Jaydick fandom, empires & carbonjen. Read and join me in stanning them both. 

Bound. God I love this fic. a/b/o, werewolf AU, it’s magical and romantic and if you haven’t read it yet, re-evaluate your life choices pls. 

New Rules. I think this one was written for a summer/winter exchange? Anyway, this is an amazing fic, made even more amazing by the inclusion of art by pentapoda.  I love how Jason is depicted in this fic.

Calendar Boy. Idk i see this as an empires classic. Like just read it, it’s so endearing and sweet. 

and this just scratches the surface. THERE IS SO MUCH MORE!

now i know what you’re thinking...tragic there are SO MANY OTHER great artists and writers in the fandom that you should appreciate. AGREED. and y'all can't hide from me. stay tuned for more posts hyping our jaydick talent. 

i see you @elwon & @volaviwrites & @flaffizz & @cherrymiko-art & the rest of you. your dedicated post will also come. you can't stop me from celebrating your greatness!!!

oh and one more thing...if there’s a particular artist or writer of Jaydick that you think deserves some love, please don't hesitate to slide into my DMs with fic recs galore...or post your own loving tribute to a creator. i am reasonably certain it will make his or her or their day.

that is all (for now).
