Snaiad: Layout study for two large arthrognaths
🕑 Added 2025-10-22 11:44:00 +0000 UTCSome of the largest freshwater (above), and marine (below), arthrognaths from the upcoming Snaiad re-release. Arthrognaths are a phylum of fish-equivalents on Snaiad, characterised by quasi-exoskeletal forelegs evolved into jaw-like structures, and eight (sometimes less) sets of fleshy, lobe-like fins.
Here is the sketch study for the head of the large "blockhead" arthrognath seen above.

Thank you all for your support of Snaiad, and my other projects. When this book eventually gets published, it will contain the names of all my lifetime Patreon donors.
