Flora of the Vreem Home World

Flora on the vreem home world is more closely related to fauna, as the two share the same phyla. This is because, the origins of multicellular photosynthesis is fundamentally different than earth's.

Unlike on earth where eukaryotic photosynthesis evolved via symbiosis with cyanobacteria this process never occurred on their home world. Instead their version of photosynthesis developed later as a type of membrane bound protein structure in the earliest ancestor of both their flora and fauna phyla. As a result the flora across the vreem home world is more closely related to their animal life than those on earth.

Here's a collection of different flora-fauna your might come across on the vreem home world. Most flora use a red photosynthetic pigment in their foliage, but other pigments such blue-green and even gold are also found across the world and are typically more common among aquatic species. Each species is listed with an earthling name along side its Onomatopoeia derived from Khllk, a commonly spoken vreem language.

Singing Suitors "Hornfoots"

Evolved from a worm like ancestor, their leaves are modified gills filled with the red photo-sensitive pigment used in their process of photosynthesis. They get their name in khllk due to the rattle like "seed pots" which when blown in the wind produces a sound similar to a "Vreem" chirp. They are colloquially called hornfoots by humans, as their root structures are made of heavily ossified tissue baring a resemblance to horns. Water is drawn from the soil through capillary action similar to trees on earth. Hornfoots are a relatively primitive group of floral type fauna as they retain a central cavity, mouth, and two simple compound eyes. They protect their fills by pulling them inwards into their central cavity.

Sticky Vines Predatory flora are common across their homeworld. Sticky Vines, typically hang from the stocks / branches of other flora and use their two sticky oral arms to snag flying pray. While their too small to be considered a threat to the vreem, their oral arms are difficult to spot in the red jungles they grow in, and as a result they often present a collision hazard below the canopy

Barnacle Snakes Are a related species to sticky vines, whoever they retain more of their ancestral form. They typically grow rooted to a larger structure, a rock face or another large flora species. They share a similar gill structure like hornfoots, but theirs are sticky. They're predominately air filter feeders, surviving mostly on spores and small bugs. Unlike hornfoots they have a complete gut.

Land Corals Red Cups, Anemone Grass and Blood Leafs are three flora species which are from colonial clade. They individual flora which are comprised of smaller specialized clones which function together as a single organisms. This tends to give them a more "plant-like" appearance, similar to other colonial animals like corals on earth.

Pneumopods This group of animals tend to occupy the "insect / bug" niches like those of arthropods of earth They're very small organisms no larger than a human fingernail. However their biology share more in common with echinoderms (starfish / sea urchins) than insects. They have an endoskeleton comprised of plates as a row of tube feet for locomotion. These two have photosynthetic spiney membranes. The species on the right are gliders and feeds on the hemolymph of other flora.

Yet another alien

Was in a dream vibe and decided to draw a harpy

Just some drawings I've been working on. I've got some world-building stuff i need to get around to posting on here.

There's just something appealing about motorcycles with legs

2. The Riders

The Rider or Riders are those who ride the Dragon. The Dragon cannot meet its true potential without a Rider and they are the ones at the center of a great quest. The Rider is an enigmatic figure whose origins are often left behind in history with the beasts they ride.

The Rider represents companionship, legacy, and guidance. Those who bare the Rider will find mentors in themselves and those who came before them.

This one took longer than I thought it would. I’m still iffy on the design but I think it gets the point across.

This is part of my ME:A au universe, I’m calling it ME:Singularity at the moment. The basic gist is that the Andromeda Galaxy has pre-established alien societies that are the main governing power in the Andromeda, much like the milky way, but strange and foreign by ME standards.

This is the Omaridyne, they are one of the three original founders of the Galactic Commune, the largest political and governing body in the Andromeda Galaxy. There closes earth analogs are echinoderms or sea cucumbers. The Omaridyne evolved on a moon orbiting the gas giant Oli and as a result, started space exploration significantly earlier due to the close proximity of Oli’s habitable moons. They would later have first contact with the Tyreem and found the Galactic Commune. 

The Omaridyne are the only species in the galaxy that have three biological sexes. These are male, female, and namlee. Their third sex, the namlee allows them to produce hybrid offspring with other levo-amino acid species. In addition, Omaridyne also changes their sex based on the availability of suitable mates. 

There’s a lot more about the Omaridyne but I’ll continue it in a later post

Decided to do a slight redesign of my greylings i posted a long while back i want to do a big post on all of the "genetically modified humans" (i.e my excuse for humanoid aliens, as while I prefer non-humanoid aliens i still like the classic humanoid ones too) in my setting, I've been looking at a lot of fashion as of lately and was enamored by the work of balmain fall 2022, This outfit is fairly conventional but i really want clothing styles in union station to really weird and out there.

Inspiration was pretty much from these outfits

I'm going to try and find away to shoehorn these dresses in there some where, especially the one on the right
