Tovoxran armor lore!!

1. Sun-protective shades, since their eyes are very light-sensitive

2. A tovoxran rifle commonly used in their army

3. A melee weapon, which blade was made of a special material created by Tovoxrans, which is both lightweight and strong.

Also to those, who sent asks recently - yes, I'm going to answer, I just wanted to finish this one first. ^^

Updated default daybreak grox design, Now with segmentation to portray their weird internalized exoskeleton better! REALLY happy with how this came out, I think i'm getting my artstyle to a point i'm content with :))

This will probably be part of a whole sheet eventually, I'm just a bit lazy at the moment.

I've been practicing speculative biology recently, and although as of right now my designs have more flattened bodies, i'm having a lot of fun just doodling poses and such for my fellas :D Carnodonts will stand on their longer and much stronger front legs to use their lower legs and feet to operate and interact with the worlds they explore. Their style is basic, needing hardly any change, but these creatures easily adapt their behaviors to their environment to be able to fit in. Because of this, they are ideal for ship crews, and are usually the most approachable. (GORE WARNING BELOW)

Carnodonts have a strange psychology, that can end up splitting them greatly. Their psychology is what helps them adapt so greatly in new places, but it can cause a reversive effect on Carnodonts raised out in the wilds. Their primitive and animalistic instincts are still very much there, but locked away unless if certain circumstances comes to unravel them.

Galactic Gazetteer: Alzarius

Type: earthlike planet

Location: Coordinates -10 0 -11 00 by 0 -2 from Galactic Centre, in E-Space (Exo-Space/Time Continuum)

Inhabitants: Alzarians, Marshmen, spiders

Famous inhabitants: Adric

Visited by: the Fourth Doctor, Romana II and K9

First appearance: Full Circle (1980)

Fun fact: Alzarius occupies the exact inverse of Gallifrey's coordinates, occupying the equivalent position in the negative universe of E-Space.

Another fun fact: life on Alzarius grew, healed and mutated quickly, allowing spiders to evolve into Marshmen and the Marshmen to evolve into humanoids, who took the place of the Terradonians who crashed their starliner on the planet.

Fun fact 3: every fifty years, Alzarius is drawn away from its sun by a neighbouring planet. The cooling starts an event called Mistfall which kicks off the evolutionary cycle again.

Celestial Symphony: Cosmic Tapestry of Planets and Stars!

[lostbrazilian]

The next step is interplanetary colonization! Dwarven pioneers establishing asteroid outposts and orbital space stations as preparation for the first settlements on other worlds. Primitve, isolated, and horribly cramped by other species's standards, but perfectly acceptable for a people that collectively evolved on the inside of mountains

Eventually, the need for locally acquired resources may drive them into the planets themselves. Mining expeditions sent from the orbital bases above, digging deep into the heart of alien cave systems, filled with hostile lifeforms, braving inumerous dangers in their search for riches and... wait a minute

Dwarves are short, powerfully built, with presumably a strong circulatory system and a culturally strong warrior ethos as well as a cultural tradition of strong and intricate craftsmanship. All of these factors make them ideal jet fighter pilots.

SpaceTime Series 27 Episode 126 *NASA's Parker Solar Probe Completes 21st Philip of the Sun NASA's Parker Solar Probe has achieved its 21st close encounter with the Sun, matching its previous distance and speed records. The spacecraft swooped to within 7.26 million kilometers of the solar surface at a record speed of 635,300 km/h. This flyby sets up the probe for its final closest approaches, with its orbit shaped by a Venus gravity assist. The mission, launched in 2018, aims to study the Sun's corona and the solar wind, unraveling the mysteries of solar phenomena that impact the solar system. *Webb Space Telescope Finds Potential Missing Link to First Stars Astronomers using NASA's Webb Space Telescope have identified a galaxy with an unusual light signature that could be a missing link in galactic evolution. The galaxy, found approximately a billion years after the Big Bang, features gas outshining its stars, possibly due to massive, hot stars. This discovery offers insights into the transition from the universe's first stars to more familiar galaxies, providing a glimpse into the early cosmic environment. *Perseverance Rover's Key Science Instrument Robert NASA's Perseverance rover on Mars has regained the use of its critical Sherlock instrument after a six-month effort. The spectroscope, crucial for detecting organics and assessing habitability, had malfunctioned in January. The successful repair allows the rover to continue its mission of analyzing Martian rocks and soil for signs of past life and understanding the planet's geological history. The Science Robert A new study suggests that caffeine consumption may improve heart health by aiding vascular growth. Another study reveals increasing plant cover in Antarctica, linked to climate change. Research highlights how people often form opinions without sufficient information, contributing to conflicts. Lastly, a study confirms that astrologers perform no better than chance in predicting character or future events. 00:00:00 - This is spacetime series 27, episode 126, for broadcast on 18 October 2024 00:00:30 - NASA's Parker solar probe completes 21st close encounter with the sun 00:03:08 - The Parker solar probe is touching the sun for the first time 00:08:32 - Galaxy with unusual light signature attributed to gas outshining stars 00:12:00 - NASA scientists have successfully brought a key science instrument back online on Mars 00:14:51 - A new study has shown that consuming more caffeine may improve your heart health 00:17:01 - New study shows people are biased to assume they know enough about situations www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com www.bitesz.com 🌏 Get Our Exclusive NordVPN deal here ➼ www.bitesz.com/nordvpn.

[grox-empire]

Aaaand feltaur redesign! I'm on a role with redesigning my spore creatures/daybreak sophonts today, Huh?

[eucalyptgem]

last bite of winter

drawn shapes on your dashboard

frost blown through the car heater

a blanket of quiet

14 minute drive

the 3am delay

am i saying this right?

i’ll try not to repeat myself

strangulation is nurture

we’ve left a starry trail

the tide pulling once again

i need to know for once

can we hold on?

grocery store aisles

as good a place as any

the morgue has been calling

not so much in the literal way

but from your house to the hospital

the chokehold

i’m clinging to your hands

what are you doing with yours?

they’re tearing me away

stripping off the layers

i’ll try not to repeat myself

can we hold on?

can we hold on?

can we hold on?

will you hold on?

can we hold on?

can we please fucking hold on?

Friend Shaped

The professor clacked his beak sharply three times in the front of the room. The students, around 40 individuals, and many species from across the galactic arm hushed almost immediately. “Welcome back, class. The day for your first planet-side mission to Nemulon 3 is fast approaching, and we've still got a lot of safety training to cover, so let's get started.” The professor stepped aside to allow a projection to display against the board behind him. A picture of a blue, green, and gray planet shone brightly against the dark tapestry of space. Nemulon 3 had been discovered deca-orbits ago but offered a wide variety of biomes that were the perfect blend of challenging and safe to train new recruits to the Galactic Alliance’s Exploration Fleet. “Today we're covering some alien fauna you may encounter while conducting exploratories. Most are small enough that they won't pose much of an issue, but we do have a few category 5 lifeforms that you need to be aware of.” The display behind the professor changed from an image of Nemulon 3 from orbit to a chart topped by 5 images with their respective labels: karindru, oold, dini-dini, barintuna, and great lavalen. Before the professor could start in on the next part of his lecture, a voice spoke out from the middle of the classroom.“That looks like a dog.” The professor stood with his beak half open. He was certainly not used to being interrupted, let alone this early in the lesson. “A what?” He finally choked out. There was a pause as if the offending student was thinking better about drawing more attention to themselves before slowly putting their hand up in the air. It was a human. Cadet Valentina, if the attendance role had been accurate. “I said it… it looks like a dog.” Human Valentina inhaled as if gathering the courage to say more. “They're a carnivorous canine species on earth that humans domesticated thousands of cycles ago and selectively bred to be pets.” The professor’s beak closed with a snap and some of the features near the base of his neck ruffled slightly. “Nemulon 3 is 47 light years away from Earth. Any similarities between each planet’s fauna is purely coincidental, a product of parallel evolution.” The human bowed her head and said nothing else, so the professor continued. “Now, for many of you of larger stature, a single karindru might not pose much of a threat, but their real danger comes from their numbers. They live, travel, and hunt in packs. Thankfully, their method of communicating with each other in their packs are quite loud, so you will hear them long before you see them, and hopefully, before they see you. Typically you’ll hear anything from yipping, chirping, and howling.” “Kind of like coyotes.” The professor stopped and stared at the human again, feathers ruffling once again. “Another kind of canine species back home,” Valentina offered quietly. If the professor was capable of growling, he might have been tempted to at that moment. Instead, he sighed slowly. “I can assure you, trying to get close to these will likely end with your injury or death.” “Well, that's what ancient humans thought about wolves too, but then we bred them into dogs and now they’re our best friends.” “Karindru are not, nor are any native creatures on this planet, your friend. Not now, not ever.” The professor turned sharply back to the board. The entire class was dead silent. Few even dared to breathe. It was quiet enough, in fact, to hear the human mumble under their breath, “If not friend, then why friend-shaped?”

The human was promptly given detention and assigned extra homework of writing “I will not try to domesticate any native fauna on Nemulon 3” one hundred times by hand.
