Alien irises

Description

A drawing of all the alien eyes for a certain little story line!!! :D Here's a bit of info on each of the aliens featured:

Dhar'ydro: A sub-race of the overarching Cercopian race. The Dhar'ydro are a lithe, slender species with semi-transluscent skin. Flickers of phosphorescence flickers beneath their skin in patterns unique to each individual. Females are notable for not having mammary glands, and males for having genitals usually tucked inside an orifice resembling the female reproductive organ's entrance. Their skin is usually a shade of blue, purple, or teal. Dhar'ydran irises are always a glowing gold, and they share the three-pronged pupils common in Cercopians. Every Dhar'ydran paints a sigil on their forehead to indicate their social status- the few who refuse to do so are considered unusual: the closest equivalent would be a human who refused to wear shoes under any circumstance.

Dubahnji: The second sub-race of the Cercopian species. Dubahnji are hulking and naturally muscular; a pair of tusks adorn their lower jaws, and their fingers aren't particularly dextrous. Females have six milk-producing breasts and three nutrient fat-humps on their uppers shoulders- males have two lactating breasts and only a single hump. Unlike their Dhar'ydran counterparts, Dubahnji males' genitalia hang outside the body like a human's.

Cabayan: The third sub-race of the Cercopians. Cabayans' body shape resembles that of the mythical centaur's- they have four legs, each possessing only a single toe, and two lithe tails extend behind them. Cabayans possess six arms, each with two elbows, and a crown of impressive horns. They are notable for being the only Cercopian sub-race to have hair in any form. Cabayans only have one hermaphroditic gender with interior genitalia.

Neprosiate: A bulky species of amphibious crustaceans. The Neprosiates are sequentially hermaphroditic, which means that they change genders. In the case of he Neprosiates, every six to eight months (roughly), their gender flips to ensure greater reproductive variety. Neprosiates mate by two on the female cycle mating (and thus fertilizing each others' eggs partially), and once the gelatinous eggs inside their eggsac (lower abdomen) are fully formed, the female will mate with a male, which finishes the fertilization process. After several months, they will lay a clutch of five to fifteen eggs in a warm, secluded, aquatic environment.

Patanga-Zokoy: An insectoid, hive-based race. They have strong ties to their hive, and less individuality that exhibited in other races. They are notable for being unable to feel the emotion of fear- this was biologically bred out of them by their Imperiarchs in ages passed. They have four genders and a complicated breeding process.

Allesgartian: The most diminutive sub-race of the Cercopians. The Allesgartians stand at around 2 and a half feet tall and live for many centuries. Wizened and withered, births are few and far between. While they possess three genders, the complex genetic alterations, cloning, and cybernetics they employ have stripped them of reproductive ability- they even no longer possess exterior genitals. However, their powers at bending the universe- especially gravity, dark matter, and electricity- are amazingly powerful, due to their many modifications.

Valorian: A valiant and combative race, the glory-obsessed Valorians are a race hovering on the brink of extinction. Their bodies are lean and muscular, toned to perfection for combat. On their wrists are tiny openings which they can eject a solid bone blade out of for close-quarters combat. Their teeth are needle-sharp and their gums swelling with toxic venom. On the tip of their tails are a number of poison-containing spines, and their mandibles are razor-pointed. Their four eyes can move separately in sets of two, and their sense of smell is almost without peer. They are a race adapted for one thing, and one thing only: war.

Humans: Chaos. Enough said xD

N'Zha: a species of avian reptiles. They possess four wing-like arms and from below their hips, their body is writhing and serpentine. The N'Zha are an intelligent and savvy race- matriarchal in structure, with one female for roughly every 30 males. They, however, like the Allesgartians, have begun to rely heavily on cybernetic implants to improve their functionality in all fields. For now, this is a boon.... but later it shall prove to be extreme folly, when the Zha'haara arise.

Jaliikan: A relatively backwater species. The only race newer to the galaxy then humanity. The Jaliikan are extremely alien, but extremely optimistic- they show quick signs of adapting in every respect to their new home on the galactic stage. The Jaliikan have five genders, and go through seasons of heat and sterility.

Cimexites: An ancient and ravenous race. They are ambitious in every respect, and have many great enemies that are soon to return as well. The Cimexites are moderately insectoid, and extremely cunning. While extremely intelligent, they are extremely alien- to such a degree that they have little in common with any known species to date. They have no gender, and reproduce via eggpods being dispersed and fertilized in a watery environment.

Kelekona: The so-called dragons of the galaxy. The Kelekona are long and serpentine, their twisting purple bodies reaching lengths of almost forty feet in rare cases. Usually they are between ten and twenty feet long and possess eighteen legs paired with eighteen dragonfly-like wings. Their eyes are jewel-like and multifaceted, and they see well into the ultraviolet, microwave, and infrared spectrum. Kelekona can manipulate their body electricity to shock those nearby, as well as use it to zap a fluid-generating gland in their mouth- this allows them to make a burning napalm-like spray that is akin to breathing fire. They have no known lifespan- postured to be immortal.

Love the ones with the trifurcated pupils. I came up with a species with four long prehensile eyestalks, and they had pupils like that. Great Minds Fist-Bump!
