3D illustration of a sci-fi Japanese capital

So far, going to call this a Horrid. Based on a necro-synthetic shapechanging ooze as the main monster in the upcoming Rogue Moon adventure set on Circe's moon, not unlike The Thing or Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Now this isn't all my modeling, the giant monstrous mouth is, but I just deformed and duplicated parts on a Poser model to depict this very creepy thing... enjoy!

Cool backstory for the little crabs; a few issues with the text on the image:

"evolved" doesn't distinguish Cheladeans from any other reproductive species; I think "enhanced" would be a better descriptor.
"vehilcles"
Inconsistent capitalization. "Cheladeans" or "cheladeans"?
"physcian"

The image kind of looks like a toy collection. Was that the intent? I like it.

All those spelling corrections have already been made, but not worth reposting the corrections. Technically Cheladea is an Order of hermit crabs, so evolved should actually have accurate meaning.

No, not a toy collection, although these are all 3D and could all be potentially printed on a 3D printer. Rather you know in any D&D Core rulebook where an illustration of armor types is shown, side by side. This illustration is for that, but in this case showing the "shells" of the Cheladeans.

As for the toy collection thing, it's not so much the 3d models as such, but the surface they are on, the background and the shadows, all combining to make them look like they're displayed on a shelf. I have no idea if that's a standard look for modern D&D.

[Gamerprinter]

I have no idea either - I create based on what ideas I come up with... what the current trend in design happens to be, I have no idea, nor do I care. I never base anything on trends, I just don't care about that. It just seemed a concise way to show different shells, along with an actual Cheladean without a shell at center, done in a single 3D scene.

After that last illustration, I had to clean my palette, not necessarily of the horror trope, rather working with Poser figures - I'm not good with people, so am forced to use Poser, but never really cared for it. Anyway, I was experimenting on some new atmosphere settings, and came up with this weird, ominous, stormy, brown sky. And most interesting to me, is the play with light, the mountain in the distance is in the light, whereas the mountains in the midground is not, and so dark as if there is little ambiant light, then light peaking again in the foreground. I used a rusty, techno, metal texture on the mountains, just for something different and intentionally alien, it worked. Added the Cheladean crab at the last minute, and decided this must be the Cheladean homeworld. I removed the cybernetic jacks to show the crabs in their natural form, and used a prehistoric fern for a tree, in the distance, and giant mold fungi for the water plants. I needed a nice alien wildlife scene to balance my spirit... enjoy!

So I decided I needed to create space armor for a Hatamoto, the Shogun's elite samurai guard. This armor emulates 15th century Japanese armor with kabuto helmet and harimakido suit. The kammon (samurai house crest on the chest and on the helmet) is the House of Taira, which is whom I made the Shogun of my Kaidan setting of Japanese Horror (PFRPG), now being updated to Starfinder... enjoy!

The samurai space armor looks great!

[Gamerprinter]

Thank you, sir!

So, not wanting to limit the Kaidan Star Empire content to just samurai. This is Kintaro, an ascetic monk, android vanguard has achieved perfect spiritural balance able to levitate above the floor, only in meditation in recovering resolve. Though he is not actually above the water, rather he is using his favorite holo-program, Sunset over Lake Shizukesa. My take on Androids have them with transparent portions of their body showing the technology within. He does this daily for the sake of his sanity... enjoy!

Mamushi-san, (Pit Viper), a Yakuza Operative 6th level, N. He specializes in Breaking Entry, whether as a hacker or a technician. He has cybernetic parts: an eye allowing him to see ultraviolet/infrared security beams to avoid crossing, focused hearing ear enhancements, a board and chip implanted into his brain under a metal plate on the top of his head, and his left arm which was lost in bomb disarmament attempt when he was young. His father incurred a huge gambling debt prior to his untimely death from illness, Mamushi and his sister were taken as payment by the yakuza to serve them. His sister went from bath house attendant to prostitute in training, but was saved by a wealthy courtesan who was a "true friend" of the yakuza. Those who do "business" with the yakuza usually involve some kind of debt with interest that needs paid, but that is separate from the "cost", which incur additional fees for protection and other "services". If someone can fully pay their debt with interest, and pay the "cost" as well, is released from any obligations and considered a "true friend of the yakuza". Mamushi has earned enough profit to pay for his sister's debt incurred by his father, plus costs for both. However, Mamushi remains an absolute loyal member of the Tsu Hoshi Gumi (Ten Star Syndicate)... enjoy!
