>>5769883>How much time does it usually take to draw one of your pics?Sorry I skipped over this one. Honestly it just depends on the update. Most pictures that are one or two panel are the fastest; but the pictures that "look" the best probably had the most work put into them. Sometimes I can crank a simple two character talking pic in like 10 to 15 minutes, so i use these as filler sometimes. Like the first look at the Great cityscape took a really long time, the one with Allsals choking to death on Xin before it was terraformed took a really long time too.
>>5770114I genuinely don't know where my inspirations come from sometimes. Most races are based on some animal or combination of animals I think are cool. The Hazaar are bedbugs, for example, with random sci-fi elements sprinkled in. The worms are more symbolic. Other things, like Auzurium, is my desire to put in 4x game mechanics into the quest, like having strategic resources that can't be replicated and you have methods of knowing where they are. (Combined with autism; all strategic resources have been introduced Alphabetically, for example). Actually Azurium was directly taken from Endless Space/Legend's Titanium resource, which is this really nice blue color, but not rare or special enough to be a "strategic" resource in a space game in my opinion.
>>5771199>>5771339That's part of it. Leraay are also less aggressive/dominant then males of most species, which means they act as a good intermediary that can appeal to basically everyone as diplomats. They're the core Consortium race for this reason.
