Description

I consider this as somthing of a big deal to me. This is one of my first practices at digital colorization. I drew the scene on paper, then added layers of color on painter. How does it compare to my other works seriously; I my post another version without the background color later.

Anyway, about the eenewts...

Eenewts are an amphibious race from the foggy, low gravity moon of Attaallai, orbiting the gas giant Raatteis. They use a complicated system of alternating hemoglobin and cyanoglobin in respiration. They are hexapods normally going on two pairs, and capable of rearing up on the hind pair to manipulate objets with their two-fingered, two-thumbed hands. The rear-most pair of legs shares the same pelvis with the 'middle' pair, and are used in communication. Although most of their skin is tough, they possess sections of water-absorbing membranes which regulate water balance, and aid in sensitivity. The nostrils are located beneath a series of folds around the neck. Eenewts possess small eye stalks on their cheek protrusions. These see little more than black and white as the main sense of an eenewt is hearing. Eenewts have extraordinary hearing, even though they are not capable of true sonar. Their hearing borders on the sense of heming, perseption of electromagnetic wave patterns as sound. They use two sets of ears; a large, flat, membraneous pair; and a long, tubular, unfurling pair. The rear arms communicate trough subtle vibrations. Smell receptors are found within their ears as well as on their highly dextrous tongue. An eenewt possesses a pair of large, vestigial eyes on the sides of their heads. These are now used as sent and water retaining glands. Under stress the blood vessels within these rupture explosively, causing blood and secreted hormones to spray as a deterrent to predators. In modern society, this is associated with deep and strong emotions and some cultures regularly practice self-mutilation. Eenewts are hermaphrodites with extreame sexual feelings and practices. Sexual activity is highly restricted and organized in their systems, for it results in death. Eenewts annualy grow mating claws on their hands which can inject sperm and eggs into the bloodstream. The patch of filtered vessels is located in the groin region. Aging eenewts will dual until one (or both, depending on the culture) is impregnated. At the end of a 26-month pregnancy (Earth time) the somewhat presocial infant in forced up through the neck and out the head, which splits open along specialized seams. Young eenewts are cared for by other adults in a variety of systems. Eenewts retain childlike characteristics throughout their lives in the forms of play, curiosity, and high learning skills. They have adapted well to universal civilization.

The scene above depicts an eenewt sorcerer in possession of ultratech offering er services to a mandrake military official who is in need of directions and information of the local spaceport. The eenewt's assistant, the floating teardrop-shaped entity, is a nano-composed machine being with adequate memetic powers.
