Blurry close up of an alien otter creature with a scuba style mask on, with the text "You got any games on your phone?" at the bottom.

Hey. You. You got any games on this phone??

Text: Species: Vikabb. Swipe to see original design drawn in 2008! The creature is a slick blue alien otter, with short, spiky ears,, It has a tall fin along its back and around the tail starting at the forehead. it has 3 fingers and 2 thumbs on each front foot, and 5 toes on the back legs, two facing backwards like a parrots foot. It has four slits on what would be the nose on an otter, but for this creature they are gills. It has 4 eyes, two on each side of the head.

the same creature as the previous page, but drawn very poorly in comparison. It's all pencil sketches with hard to read notes on the biology.

Sometimes I invent a creature and never do anything with it, so of course I"m going to recycle it for my comic! I needed to do a re-draw/re-design since this alien is getting featured for a couple of pages coming up.

Caption: Me: I should make some cute doodles of the Elyei, so I can make people love them as much as I do! below is a sketch of a fuzzy alien python with elf ears, curled up in a ball.

Caption: What I drew instead: Face shot of the fuzzy alien python with elf ears, eyes bulging and mouth full of a non-descript rat like creature.

I really love these little critters. They act as pest control in space!

It's hard to program cleaners to target only invasive species, it's much easier to train and keep the equivalent of a Ship's Cat to deal with them.

Toral, a red akyn, stares in confusion and incredulity at a small phase cube crossing her path. The cube is bright green, pink and purple and seems to be shifting colours as it moves.

What... is this??

Seret, a rabbit-eared alien, looking unreasonably proud of something

The world trembles in fear of whatever epiphany he's just come to.

It's amazing what simply changing the dilation of his pupil does to the tone of this pose, I had a few giggles while trying to get it right. Deranged? Excited? It's a fine line.

Toral, a rabbit-eared alien, throws up her hand in disgust at the prices she's looking at and says "Everything is so expensive!"

Yes Toral, everything *is* expensive. Who'd have thought that space travel would be so hard on your bank account?

Photo of the in progress elyei. It has teal, red and black fur, and an unpainted grey python head with elf ears

Closeup of the face of the elyei, with hand painted glass eyes

Photo of hand painted glass eyes, numbered 1-7, with four matching eyes underneath

Progress on my snake! Head is baked and ready to go. I also hand painted the eyes, which I had to learn how to do. This has been such a fun project, it's really coming together!

The full layout of the "snakeskin", or Elyei skin?

Bonus Daikon making a bed out of the super soft fur.

Making my first art doll!
Step 2: while waiting for the eyeglass to get delivered, pattern out the body! I wanted something interesting but relatively simple to sew. And to use colours I already had. Now to watch a movie while hand-sewing.

Sculpt 1 of the head, vaguely python shaped

A better sculpt of a python head

Making my first art doll! Step one - sculpt the head, realize that it was not only too small, but the wrong shape, so you resculpt it. Then you make the ears and realize they're too big so you have to remake those too.

My second animation! I'll reply with the sketch version as well! This is a little rodent-like creature native to my main character's planet, Thrira. They're called Shydaxi! 

#animation #csp #clipstudiopaint #unchosenstar #speculativefiction #alienmouse #alien #mouse

I spent sunday teaching myself how to animate! I used a bunch of different tutorials on Youtube! This was the first thing I animated, aside from the prerequisite bouncing ball. 

It's a start!

Toral is digging? in the rocks, with a weird plant behind her, coming out of a tube formation. There is another formation behind that one that looks like it has a cork. Also a crab?

Just a little snap of this weeks update as a teaser! I'm super swamped this week so the update might be a bit unfinished, but I'm gonna try my best. #UnchosenStar #comic #sneakpeak #SpeculativeBiology #SpeculativeFiction

A small mechanical flying critter with 2 sets of wings being displayed in the palms of a young Akyn. Two speech bubbles, "It's an Udaajhu flyer!" and "that's so crispy!" Black and white, sketchy style.

A preview of a panel from my webcomic, Unchosen Star! This is a toy version of a creature native to the Akyn homeplanet. #preview #sketch #unchosenstar #webcomic #furry #speculativefiction #speculativebiology #rubyphillips #thatssocrispy #sitsfit

Hi! I'm just starting to post here, trying to get my art out in the world some more. I'm an artist of wide interests, but mostly lately, I've been focusing on my webcomic, Unchosen Star.
