    Thanks, Marc! I thought I was done, but reconsidered and added stuff...

    The Imperial capital of Kaidan-kyo, aerial version is finally done. I added some bigger skyscrapers of the MegaCorps around the inner circle downtown area of the city, and some further out. I added a starport, with a train station on the adjacent petal with tubes going into and around the city, then out into tunnels beyond. I added a stadium, a large temple, a power plant and water treatment facility, and on the outlying "islands" are defensive structures that serve as weapons platforms with pop up capital weapon turrets, missile batteries and the upper portion are shield emitters to encapsulate the entire city inside massive shields. A hydrofoil ship is seen passing to bottom right. Enjoy!

    One of the races being included in the Kaidan Interstellar Empire of Japanese horror setting for Starfinder, is the Jorogumo or "spider women" race. While physiologically resembling a spider, societally they are more like ants or bees. For each nest city, they have a queen, several male drones, and the rest of the infertile females, so the majority resemble females and why they are called "spider women". Strangely they think in binary and hexidecimal, and are extremely skilled in computers with bonuses for such skills. They are a starfaring race and while an enemy of the oni are solitary versus joining other races. They live in subterranean caverns on their homeworld... enjoy!

    Another experiment, though I might use this - I like it. When I was playing around with the textures for Jorogumo, I accidentally selected a pink glass, which looked cool, but didn't find what I wanted to do with that race. However, I recall a movie I saw on Netflix called Ex Machina with a sexy android, that had a face with "human skin", but most of her was metal and glass. So I took a Poser model and diced up it's surface allowing me to use different textures on different parts. Her face, upper torso, upper arms and legs are covered in a metallic skin, somewhat similar to Androids as depicted in Starfinder. While the back of her head, neck, abdomen and lower arms are transparent pink swirly glass. You can see light passing through her arms in her shadow behind her on the floor. Anyway, my take on Android as a pilot aboard a starship. The starship seen in the background behind her, is an identical ship with an android on that bridge too... enjoy!

    This is "Evie Foray" as she's listed on the crew manifest, though this SRO (sentient robotic organism) is actually a labor droid with the EV-4A nomenclature. I needed a robot character for other illustrations I'll be doing, and wanted to put her into a scene to make it less boring. Enjoy!

    I liked the last one but it looks like the robot is walking on sand. First thing I thought of is you need to show tracks for we it came from.

    Keep them coming.
