Tier 4 is now complete, leaving the heroes and commanders as the last list of characters to make to finish this army.

[IMG ID: From left to right: Assimilator, Quezaeral's Grotesques, Floshmorteq, Armoured Wikilnorder, War Walker, Gorterradon, Yuk'nerothep Kaval./End]

[IMG ID: A tall digitigrade humanoid demon resembling a mix between a deer and a theropod puts its left leg on top of a large piece of shrapnel that cuts off the text "North Exit", making it into "No Exit". The beast has a caprine leg on its right and a theropod leg on its left. The creature also has one large claw arm with an organic blaster on its right and a muscular arm with sharp claws on the left. The head sports a curved horn on the left and an antler on the right, the teeth are made up of different kinds from various animals, and it has a long, sharp tongue. The head has a skull embedded, with the right eye socket operating as its left eye. Other eyes are spread out on the body, along with bite marks, claw marks, and other scars and bruises. Just below it, the corpse of an armoured elite human soldier lies motionless with black fluid leaking from his pores while his firearm is also broken./End]

Yuk'nerothep Kaval is the embodiment of all the hive made into one hideous form; this nightmarish demigod strikes fear into the hearts of all mortals, and does not shy away from its wretched form, nor does it feel guilt of its amoral nature of slaughter and rape on the battlefield. This behavior of insanity has made even the gods question if such a thing should ever be kept alive, let alone join their already cursed ranks.

[IMG ID: A kaiju-sized red, green, and purple plant-based monster stands by ready to bring destruction. On its right arm is a giant plant pod with a big mouth and sharp teeth; on the left is a tree-like tentacled arm with three tendrils. The monster has a big yellow glowing organ on its chest, a long tail, a digitigrade stance, and a head with three glowing eyes: blue, red, and yellow, and a pair of mega plasma cannons mounted on its shoulders./End]

By far the largest of the titans and the most godlike in strength. Gorterradon can vary in size, some dwarfing cities, while others reach the stratosphere, though this also depends on the species of the titan. The Gorterradon can flatten cities in minutes, and its weapons are so devastating that they can destroy worlds multiple times over. The only thing stopping this beast from achieving an apocalypse is using superweapons above nukes.

Towering across the battlefield, this gargantuan titan is fitted with long tentacles to grasp multiple targets to either consume or hurl out of sight. Its hooves can stomp through cities and are armed with a wide range of weapons. The War Walker is a titan that very few can stop.

[IMG ID: A dark brown tentacled, short-tailed kaiju on six hooved legs walks across with two giant claw arms, both carrying tentacles with lamp-shaped heads as active lights/guns. The head is long and stalky with a horn, but has an elongated arch behind it covered in yellow lights that lead to the big yellow eye. 4 big yellow circles glow at the side of the creature, with two spikes and a fin sticking out./End]

[IMG ID: A giant sea lizard resembling an outdated megalosaurus, adorned with chitin-like armour, is ridden by an alien shark humanoid bearing black armour with copper rims. The tattooed shark known as an Aq'Kalestian, wields a pike and is accompanied by a large gun drone, fitted with two autocannons and a missile pod, flying the standard of his tank company while showcasing a human head and skull as trophies./End]

A tank-based four-legged sea monster that fires a plethora of ammunition towards its targets, from plasma, lasers, missiles, and other ammunition. On top of its overwhelming firepower, this deep-sea reptile can dish out massive damage with its claws, teeth, and tail. With the help of an Aq'Kalestians rider, the duo makes a formidable force.

A conglomerate of floating biomass that projects spores to aid allies and poison units from above, this man-o-war-like monster drops units airborne into battle to swarm enemies in droves. They're even more deadly when they come in terrors.

[IMG ID: A gargantuan man-o-war-like alien flies high above the clouds, its fins touch the sky while its tendrils and feeler fins hang low. Inside the organism, multiple creatures are being transported for war./End]

[IMG ID: A mutated taur flesh creature with massive muscles, one giant clawed arm, a smaller arm, and a taloned arm in front, charges into battle with blood on its hands from a previous fight, thirsty for more bloodshed./End]

Produced by the god of destruction himself, the grotesques are a horrific force that mutilates all in their path that dare challenge them, unlike other units, grotesques are never consistent with their forms and alter differently each time they're created. With a thirst for blood, they're unstoppable brutes that even their kin tread cautiously around.

Dave Spaceman @davespaceman.bsky.social · 10d

Born as grotesque abominations, these horrors of the Hive learn to mimic their prey for infiltration. Though a learning process at first, these creatures can become the deadliest of assassins and can imitate any organism with shocking accuracy.

[IMG ID: A "human" stares in panic while wearing a leather jacket with badges and baggy sweat pants; this individual also has a pair of mismatched boots./End]

Here at Caveman Productions, we turn dogs into hogs...

Wanted to make some changes to Shev's species, because I don't wanna draw too many canines in my roster, gotta diversify, anyway. It's a little something to have before this week's big surprise.

[IMG ID: A fat black wild boar with dark hair wearing an oil-stained white tank top and torn blue jeans sits in his roller-chair with a lit cigarette and stares at the viewer unamused in his mechanic shop./End]

So this was supposed to be a simple headshot sketch of @saureal.bsky.social character Lillith, but as usual, I went a little overboard and decided to add more details to it than originally planned. So I'm gonna post this one since I enjoyed making it so much.

[IMG ID: A white and blue therapod dinosaur with peacock green lips wearing two spiked collars stares at the viewer concerningly, all while a crowd of different species dances in the background with flashing beams of lights in a nightclub./End]

Mutadon redesign, because I couldn't get over the fact that their heads were a little too flat for my liking. Rest of the body is pretty great, though.

[IMG ID: A drawing featuring three versions of a Mutadon from Jurassic World Rebirth, drawn in its original form, an artist's redesign with a head crest, and an additional head crest for the alternative look./End]

Dave Spaceman @davespaceman.bsky.social · Aug 25

A new character has arrived on the scene! Ikkitala is a character I had cooking up for quite some time now, but I won't be able to draw more characters for this story for the time being just yet, since I'll be making more hive units soon.

[IMG ID: A humanoid mustelid with brown fur and black short hair with a braid stands firm with a serious glare at the viewer. She wears a navy blue poncho with dim reds, yellows, oranges, and greens, along with an icy striping on top. She wears a black hide shirt, red hide pants, and black moccasins. She wields a bow and arrow with a quiver./End]

Ladies and Gentlemen, I now present to you the animal representative manager of my art accounts. Please, a round of applause for Mr. Pixie

[IMG ID: A blue orb with floating white gloves, brown shoes, and golden shoulder pads, closes his eyes and raises a picket sign that says "Art is art even if you don't like or understand it...and yes, this includes "AI" art too."/End]

My first open species reference sheet is complete! Meet the Vinesians, a race of powerful aliens that are more than willing to do business with you!

[IMG ID: A species reference sheet features an alien race of reptilians known as Vinesians, pale-skinned, tall, and digitigrade; they also bear mammalian features like sharp ears and retractable claws. aux-cord-like cables form their hair in various quantities; they bear markings on their body, including tails, groin, legs, shoulders, back, and head. Both males and females wear makeup on their faces./End]

Welp, I'm officially 26...I am also a rabbit.

[IMG ID: A tired-looking tuxedo rabbit humanoid stands next to a purple striped wall with confetti falling. He's wearing a colorful dress shirt and tan dress pants as well as a yellow and white striped birthday hat with the red text "26". The rabbit also holds a plate with cake in the left hand and a fork in the right./End]

Commission for zakku2054 on instagram

I'm so tired rn it's not even funny, I'm taking a few more hours to rest before I get back to my art grind again.

[IMG ID: A nude humanoid fox girl with red hair puts her arms around the camera while smiling at the viewer, standing out on the beach during a sunny day./End]

Altris Morvanew is a veteran robot from an age long past. His tasks are comprised of helping his fellow machines and establishing a connection to this new world

[IMG ID: A humanoid robot with an assortment of body parts and old machinery on his chest, stands idly while looking at the viewer. His face is halved with a knight helmet and a typical robot head./End]

Altris Morvanew was once a venerated soldier from an era long
gone, a time when technology reached limits that were seen as
godly amongst the ignorant eye. But since the events of World War
Armageddon, the golden age of machines has now been stunted,
leaving mankind’s survival at a dead end. Despite humanity’s
extinction, their legacy would continue with the help of their robotic
companions, and Altris would be one of millions to rebuild that
legacy. After barely surviving a nuclear blast, Altris’s remains would
be brought to Alpha Pheric, a custodian android who repaired
machines; with his expertise, he managed to restore Altris’s data,
preserving his combat expertise and memories of life before the war.
Altris’s body is composed of various parts from other machines,
resulting in a hodgepodge figure with varying levels of complexity.
While his appearance is disorienting, Altris is a benevolent soul who
has a knack for exploration and defending his allies at any cost. He,
among many other robots in Warehouse 451, maintained their
bunker for thousands of years until they were ready to resurface
to explore a new world. But as he travels across this lush wilderness,
he questions his programming and the original intent behind his
purpose in life.

Power: 6 Brilliance: 7 Awareness: 8 Energy: 6
Influence: 8 Flexibility: 6 Luck: 5 Resistance: 5 Survival:7 Criticals: 5

No Surrender

When the parties' health and resources are low,
Altris can wave the company flag, inspiring
all party members to fight till the very last man.
The lower the parties’ health, the higher the damage
party members can dish out.

Helping Hand

Altris can help weaker party members,
either by healing them or by boosting
their resistance for a greater defense.

When you have low artistic energy, but you still gotta post that comm. Commission for @bekka_b.k on instagram

Thought about making the sky sunny or twilight, but I rarely do gloomy days, so this was the best opportunity to do so.

[IMG ID: Two geckos, one white, the other purple with rainbow splotches, walk on a gloomy day on a sidewalk next to a highway with a brick wall to the right side. Four oak trees are on the other side of the wall./End]

Pride might be over, but I'm still gonna post lesbians. So June took up a lot of time for me in both the right and wrong reasons, getting this post out longer than I'd like, but I'll take what I can get.

But with that being said, expect some "new" characters to make an appearance this month.
