Hi, thanks 🤍
I draw alien creatures and species of my sci-fi world and go into speculative evolution too. However, the focus of my story is on the complex relationship between a human woman and an alien man. Most likely this doesn't fit into the genre of the pack. But here is art anyway :D
A page with four drawings of a reptilian alien, the Vortecc, with a long tail and three bendy limbs on their head. There is one bust to the left, a full-body to the right, a small close-up of the face on the top (with lots of tongues bursting out of their mouth) and a small close up of their back on the bottom (it shows how the back can split up and reveal more limbs). Text on page: [Vortecc], 5th nation of Araz. 1. The third pair of eyes is usually closed. It sees in the infrared spectrum. 2. Limbs and tongues are equipped with olfactory receptors. 3. Back and neck can split up and reveal more limbs. 4. Only the tail and the three limbs of the head cannot be retracted into the body. 5. Slits for breathing are located on the chest, not the nose. Pencil drawing of an alien character (species: Arka) with big pointy ears and long flowing hair. Her glowing eyes are completely white, with no visible pupil. She has a septum piercing and dark markings on her skin. Digital art of Lara, a human woman, hugging Zhaikes, an alien man. Lara stands over Zhaikes and has her arms around his neck, while pressing his head to her chest. Zhaikes seems to be indecisive, his hand hovering next to Lara with his fingers being curled. While he likes the experience, he is unsure if he may reciprocate the hug. One tiny detail to notice: On the inside of Zhaikes' wrist is a small symbol that looks just like my artist logo. Art by Kathaja Krim. Digital sketch of an alien character (species: Vortecc) with six eyes, three of them visible. The alien is standing on a bolder, with long reptilian legs. Their arms flare out in mid-turn, thick tail swishing behind them. Three long tentacles sit on their head, flying through the air along with the alien's dynamic pose. Art by Kathaja Krim.

Digital art of Lara, a human woman, hugging Zhaikes, an alien man. Lara stands over Zhaikes and has her arms around his neck, while pressing his head to her chest. Zhaikes seems to be indecisive, his hand hovering next to Lara with his fingers being curled. While he likes the experience, he is unsure if he may reciprocate the hug. One tiny detail to notice: On the inside of Zhaikes' wrist is a small symbol that looks just like my artist logo. Art by Kathaja Krim. Digital art of a monstrous but humanoid alien (species: Nan-Te'gah). The alien has their head tilted down and glances up menacingly. They have a crude bone-like structure on their face, with strangely aesthetic swirls and tips. They have ears too, which are more like thick appendages attached to the head. Their skin color is a light low saturated green with red scattered stripes. The eye is cerulean blue. Art by Kathaja Krim. Digital art of an alien character, Zhaikes (species: Zhor Khat), showing him three times on a reference page from various angels and a close-up of his right eye. He looks grumpy in each of them. Most noticeable is the artwork in the middle where the top-down angle allows a glimpse on his back and the row of scales running along his spine. It also shows two of his four extra limbs that are positioned between his shoulder blades. He glances over his shoulder giving us the side-eye. Descriptive text on the page: Zhaikes Nazkarath, anatomy details. Four pairs of curved horns are set close to his head, with the tips jutting out at the back. Antennae, called Raks?van, are sensory organs that can detect even the slightest tremors. Their position reflects emotions. His right eye is blind and paler than the left. A technical enhancement can temporarily compensate for the disability, producing small dots of light when active. Three knobs on his face act as anchors for his mask and can?t be removed. His left upper arm and shoulder, as well as the right side of his face, are scarred. Scales protect the sensitive skin and nerve endings beneath, and they can be slightly lifted. Art by Kathaja Krim. Pencil art of a creature's head in side-view, the Ozyres. The creature is snarling, showing off its crooked teeth and a long tongue. Its eye is purely white with a soft glow. It has two ears which are set back, underlining the aggressive pose. Art by Kathaja Krim.

Their "wings". The design of the Nan-Te'gah has changed a bit, but the wings are still similar.
An almost-full-body pencil drawing of an alien character (species: Nan-Te'gah). They have two sets of arms, one bigger pair and one smaller pair. The bigger pair is wing-like, with nine "firefly wings" growing along the lower arm and hand. The character has thick pointy appendages on their head, reminiscent of ears. The drawing has a purple tint, just the eyes are blue.

I felt the need to explore (and explain) my Nan-Te'gah's wing anatomy, so I started something new.

This is a cropped screenshot of a larger page. :>

WIP: Digital line art of an alien character (species: Nan-Te'gah). The alien has 2 sets of arms, a larger upper set and a lower smaller set. The upper arms have long spines that point backwards. To the right is a sketch of the arm in close-up, but it's cut off. Art by Kathaja Krim.

Sketchy digital art of Lara, a human woman, and Zhaikes, an alien man. Lara leans on Zhaikes' arm, eyes closed and asleep. Zhaikes looks down at her, with a calm expression, while hugging her to him with one of his extra limbs, making sure she doesn't fall. Art by Kathaja Krim.

Ooo thank you for the artshare! 🤍

As a surprise to absolutely no one, I'll share my favourite alien dude, Zhaikes :') He's a grumpy overlord, with a soft spot for a human called Lara.

He looks at something on the right, with a side-eye, top-down and disgusted expression. His left hand is raised with curled fingers which underlines the expression on his face.

Hello and welcome new people! :}

I'm Kathaja and I draw OCs and aliens from my sci-fi world. And I also write a book about them! My forever-hyper fixations are the main characters Zhaikes and Lara (the alien and the human~)

#art #intro #alien #scifi #ScifiRomance
Drawing of two people, the human woman Lara and the alien man Zhaikes. The human is shorter and reaches up to the elongated tips of his chin. He leans down and stares at her a little confused. Art by Kathaja Krim. Digital sketch of an alien character (species: Nan-Te'gah). Their face is covered with white skull-shaped platting, which has sharp edges mixed with playful swirls and a long rhombus shape on the forehead. The skull comes with four teeth. The character also has several thick horizontal appendages on their head, like strange ears. Art by Kathaja Krim. Concept art of a feline alien species, the Darakay. The art shows two half-body drawings of the Darakay, one in 3/4 view and one with the head slightly turned away. They have a broad nose and big pointy ears lying almost flat against their head. Their neck is thick with thick puffy hair and a few long, dark spines sticking out of the hair. An additional drawing shows a close-up of an eye, which is slightly elongated with a dark, cat-like pupil on a silver-white sclera. Art by Kathaja Krim. Digital art of Lara, a human woman, hugging Zhaikes, an alien man. Lara stands over Zhaikes and has her arms around his neck, while pressing his head to her chest. Zhaikes seems to be indecisive, his hand hovering next to Lara with his fingers being curled. While he likes the experience, he is unsure if he may reciprocate the hug.

Zhaikes would go for mind reading or even mind controlling(!). Luckily he can't do that.

Lara would want to speak every language in the world. She loves languages and interaction. And she is reluctantly impressed that Zhaikes speaks 83 languages.. Lara speaks ~5.
A colored sketch of an alien person, Zhaikes (species: Zhor Khat). He has grey-green skin and lemon green eyes. The eyes are the most colorful part of the image. His left eye is more saturated. The right eye is dull, as it's damaged, with a scar running across the eye, cheek and upper lip. On his head are four insectoid feelers. Art by Kathaja Krim. Close-up of a human woman, Lara, with long hair and white skin. She has her eyes closed while she is holding Zhaikes, the alien from the first image, close to her chest. Art by Kathaja Krim.

QRP with some pieces of 2025 you're really proud of!

Nnaaa it's not 50% Zhaikes, you don't see that!
Digital art of an alien character, Zhaikes, looking as grumpy as ever. His right eye and part of his face are covered with a metallic mask. In the center of the mask is a round shape that indicates his eye which glows slightly. Art by Kathaja Krim. Digital art of a monstrous but humanoid alien (species: Nan-Te'gah). The alien has their head tilted down and glances up menacingly. They have a crude bone-like structure on their face, with strangely aesthetic swirls and tips. They have ears too, which are more like thick appendages attached to the head. Their skin color is a light low saturated green with red scattered stripes. The eye is cerulean blue. Art by Kathaja Krim. Digital art of my OCs Zhaikes and Lara, in color! Zhaikes has greenish tones, from skin to bio-armor. Lara has light skin with red hair and an olive green top. Her eyes are green too. They stand next to each other, while Zhaikes has one of his wing-lile limbs bent over Lara. He looks grumpy and says "What are you looking at...?". Lara seems friendly saying "Hi". Digital art of an alien character, Zhaikes (species: Zhor Khat), showing him three times on a reference page from various angels and a close-up of his right eye.

I created the Tar'nex based on "they have to be worse than angry Zhaikes" :')

This is an earlier concept, from a time when I started sketching with fineliners. Find more about their creation in the quoted post.

Digital sketch of Zhaikes (species: Zhor Khat) looking like a cat from a GIF. His upper lip is raised, showing a pointy tooth. He looks disgusted, a little grumpy and kinda like someone took a picture in the middle of the moment. Art by Kathaja Krim. Several digital artworks of the same alien character, Zhaikes Nazkarath. The first artwork shows Zhaikes in side view, displaying his four large, insectoid extra limbs on his back. He wears bio-armor, a kind of plating with a sharp and organic look. His head has curved horns that run along his scalp and upward behind his head and neck. He also has four antennae, two facing forward and two facing backward. The right (visible) side of his face is scarred. There are three metallic "dots" integrated into his skin, on his forehead, cheek, and bridge of his nose. The second artwork shows the purpose of the dots. They are anchor points for a one-sided mask that covers Zhaike's right eye and part of his face. In the center of the mask is a round shape that indicates his eye and glows slightly. The third and final artwork shows Zhaikes with 'his human', Lara Hollis, as she leans in and gives him a hesitant kiss. It's the only artwork that visualizes Zhaikes' softer side. While the other works show him with a stern, grumpy expression, he looks gentle and slightly overwhelmed in the last one.

The first illustration shows an almost front-view of the head with the alien looking down and four tentacles spreading out from the back of their head. The second illustration shows the alien in side-view with the four head-tentacles flowing softly behind them. Both aliens have markings on their skin, in the form of natural-looking stripes, dots and rings. The markings are lighter than their bluish grey skin and emit a soft glow in some areas. Their eyes are completely white and have a soft glow too. Concept art of a feline alien species, the Darakay. The art shows two half-body drawings of the Darakay, one in 3/4 view and one with the head slightly turned away. They have a broad nose and big pointy ears lying almost flat against their head.

Depends. They both go through denial phases and fight their own emotions for different reasons. But eventually their love for each other is equal (and strong :))

Pants! :D Zhaikes prefers his bio-armour, like most Zhor Khat. It's for protection, but it also regulates the temperature, as his species is sensitive to the cold.

More art for the spooky season!

This species is called Vortecc. They have strange claws and many extra limbs. Their 3rd pair of eyes is usually closed, but when it's open, it sees in the infrared spectrum. Vortecc are slightly taller than humans, but much more deadly.
