I love the art for the Halo book covers—these three are my personal favorites!

To me, Naboo stands out with some of the most interesting creature designs and ecosystems in all of Star Wars.

Ended up losing the file but I'll share what I have. Meet the Rubriceros (female depicted], a red, antelope-like liquivore roaming the twilight plains of Tenebrous II. It's roughly 1-2 meters in height and about 3 meters in length.

Fifteen years ago, Mass Effect 2 was released. I'd argue it's not only the best of the trilogy, but also one of the greatest sci-fi RPGs ever. Its immersive world-building, alien designs, and characters captivated me so much that I replayed it at least ten times as a kid.

Tenebrous II might have once been an ocean world, stripped almost bare--whether from its own collapsed star or a rogue black hole. I include aquatic hints in my designs, nodding to that possible watery past, and its sudden shift.

Tenebrodraco, the flying apex predator of Tenebrous II, uses internal methane sacs for buoyancy, then fires stored gas in wing‐mounted “jet vents” to accelerate or execute maneuvers. Orbiting a black hole sculpts its evolution in flight.

A liquivore from my planet, Tenebrous II. On the left is a digital piece depicting the species known as a Umbrovortax, with a thumbnail of it traversing the planet’s red sands—sands that reflect the black hole’s crimson glow.
