I created the Tar'nex based on "they have to be worse than angry Zhaikes" :')

This is an earlier concept, from a time when I started sketching with fineliners. Find more about their creation in the quoted post.

Depends. They both go through denial phases and fight their own emotions for different reasons. But eventually their love for each other is equal (and strong :))

Pants! :D Zhaikes prefers his bio-armour, like most Zhor Khat. It's for protection, but it also regulates the temperature, as his species is sensitive to the cold.

Another Halloween-worthy artwork 🤍

I like the contrast between terrifying and tender, fierce and loving. These are Zhaikes and Lara, the main characters of my alien world.

More art for the spooky season!

This species is called Vortecc. They have strange claws and many extra limbs. Their 3rd pair of eyes is usually closed, but when it's open, it sees in the infrared spectrum. Vortecc are slightly taller than humans, but much more deadly.

Artists, what's your favorite part to draw? Quote this post!

Mine: Extra limbs :D :D
They add so much to movement and emotion.

I see there are new people around. Let me welcome you with spooky art befitting the season. <3

If you're curious about what else I make, have a look at my pinned post.

Ice appreciation post 🤍

All ice is from a glacier in #Iceland called Vatnajökull, but in different places:
Ice in water because it broke off from a glacier tongue and now drifts away. Ice on the beach because it was washed back ashore. And ice from a crevasse of the glacier itself.

Hi, #PortfolioDay ~

I'm Kathaja and I draw alien OCs and creatures from my sci-fi world and novel.

More info at www.kathaja.com

More Aurora~
It didn't look as green as this in reality because it wasn't strong enough. However, with long exposure it becomes more vibrant.

Alien lights 🤍

We went looking for the lights last night and found them. #Aurora Borealis, Iceland.

Creating a species page also means having all their art neatly collected in one place. :}

I hope I'll be done soon with all the descriptions..
October 5, 2025 at 9:37 PM
Yess, congratulations! Onwards to many more! 🤍

Here are some of my current favourites. It's world building and OC art :}

QRP with your art before covid vs now

Left: shows an early drawing of Zhaikes, where I struggled to "correctly" draw his facial shapes (2018)

Right: also Zhaikes, but much closer to what I see in my mind (2025)

If you see this, post something monochromatic 🤍🖤

Luckily I have so many monochromatic works to choose from :}

I'm offering this noodle creature :}
It's a species, they're called Ozyres.

I hope your training day goes well 🤍

It's spooky season, time to share some stuff!

I'll start with my Nan-Te'gah species. Most of them live on a dying planet. They can fly short distances and have mounts that can fly too. Someone once called them "alien fairies" and I love that.

Zhaikes prefers *nobody*
Lara thought she preferred the cinnamon roll type until--- him.

(That's an old sketch I still like)
