Cheetaan city scene
Creation animation is here.
More on the Cheetaan story can be read on my ID.
Some more Cheetaan-related art:
Remembering a Lost World (Long forgotten memories of a better age, Digital art, 1280x1024)
Cheetaan Legacy - title screen (512x384 16 color VGA pixelart)
Experimenting with foliage, and at last, some proper colouring. The Cheetaan (Tani), first time portrayed in a typical city setting of theirs. In the distance, the organic statue of the centre, a white arch of plant-sustained Mag-Lev track, with of course a lot of green, and the two Tani races who are primary builders of this civilization.
This is not a shot taken in a park within the city, this is actually how most of the city looks alike. Before the interstellar wars even the capitol gave home to just about twenty or so thousands of Tanis (more wolves, somewhat less cheetaans) over an area of more than a hundred square kilometres. The Tanis simply need the foliage, not just for aesthetic value or because they would be so environmentalists, but their city is entirely powered by photosynthesis and is sustained from the growth produced by the plant life which cheetaan adapted for this purpose.
The heart is so given by the cheetaan, the four-legged race whose primary ability is the knowledge of genome, the art of forming the life surrounding them to their desires be it creation or destruction. The city however wouldn't be a city without the wolves without whom the cheetaan wouldn't even concentrate to form such settlements. They have the larger logical brain, the hands to think and craft, to plan, and to erect the monumental constructs a city is composed from.
The third Tani, the dragon will be left for some other time. There are a few tame dragons living in the "civilized world", but mostly they represent the brutal destructive power flying, hunting, and engaging in battles utilizing their electrical charge and the long range impulse laser in their throat capable to produce plasma even as far as a half mile away from the largest and strongest of their kind.

Thanks a lot, well, it is still far from alive at least how I wish it to come alive! (looking at you, that damned source code for Cheetaan Legacy game engine, duh)
There are some others in planning though, I have several sketches in my scrap bin (this was also idling in there for more than a half year until I picked up two weeks ago and finished at last), and there are still some of the shoddies of the past which truly cry out for some nicer treatment!
That Mag-Lev track is truly an elevated track, somewhat following the structure portrayed on this old picture, but here it is just tall enough so occasional tame dragons can conveniently walk across underneath, and from the angle and being overgrown with foliage the open gaps between the poles are not really apparent. To tell the truth it was a part where I cheated a bit: I just looked at the thing and decided I am just too tired to figure out how light should illuminate between and through, so I rather covered these up with growth. The vehicles themselves have a rather short profile, only suitable for cheetaan to walk within - this fits better for their usage (these are for passenger service only) and the speed of the trains (taller vehicles would mean more profile surface area, so more air resistance). The pointy ends of the top of the "fence" so are truly only fall a little lower than the roof of the train using the track!

You draw such fascinating worlds :) It's difficult to take in the amount of detail in this picture at first glance because even the background has so much in it - the vine-like plants climbing the wall, the angled poles forming the fence around the track... your efforts really bring your world to life.
