Hi! I draw speculative biology and write about everyday life in a complex scifi setting. You can read my comics, support my work, and browse my art at these links:

Young Talita doodles with Douglas the foster worker. Kids are so sweet before they start having opinions! Her alarm call sounds like a fire alarm with low batteries, her cry is like a small dog’s growl pitched down. Her voice at this age is warbling and unnervingly high-pitched.

Centaurs' evolutionary ancestors were savanna pack predators who nomadically followed prey herds. Modern centaurs emerged when they began to use tools to help with hunting and land management, eventually resulting in some groups settling down and developing animal agriculture.

Zngti (aka hawkdogs) are an omnivorous predator domesticated by centaurs. In some ways they're more comparable to cats than dogs, often left unsupervised around settlements to hunt vermin, but their territoriality also makes them useful for livestock defense or sentry roles.
