Featured Work

Marshezien by retepk

A male specimen of the humanoid species, Marshezien. / Planet of origin – Marshez, in the Retaw System. / Features are a bluish skin pigmentation, reddish hair and strangely pigmented eyes, also varying shades of blue. A most unique feature is a prolonged spinal chord and coccyx, feline in appearance, and for the males is ritually severed in the middle teenage years, somehow not rendering them paralysed. As the planet surface is significantly covered in wetlands their diet is mainly fish, crustacea and estuarine vegetation. The atmosphere is compatible with human species. Known throughout the universe for their neutrality although they undergo training in martial arts from a young age. / Notable sky features are the nine suns and the nearby planet, Tresed, which looks a little like Jupiter, the fifth planet of the Primary Solar System. / Created in Bryce 6 and Photoshop CS2. Alien made from merging features from photos of two different people and given a Photoshop make-over. /

Danger! Danger! by retepk

There are many perils out there in space. This is one of them. A particularly dangerous beast. An Ymonoce worm. Voracious, tenacious, parasitic, artful, avaricious, mendacious . . . sorry I’ve gotten carried away with the adjectives to describe this creature that floats out there in space just waiting for unsuspecting space ships. If you see one just keep your distance. The greater the distance the better. Once they latch onto the hull your stuck. So beware. / This one was spotted out near the Recession Nebula. We managed to escape. / Created in Photoshop and “the creature” in Groboto.
Mutant by retepk

Lifeform from one of the small gaseous planets in the Eighth System. Disparagingly dubbed “mutants” and shunned by others in that system we maintain harmonious relations with them. / Known for their ability to transform into anything they please. Shapeshifters. / Omnimorphs. There are many names for them. Although in their normal state they are humanoid in appearance, obviously, genetically they possess some very unique traits. They have a QN chromosome in their DNA which gives them that ability. This ability requires them to “sleep” for periods of up to a week every six months in order to maintain good health. Although apparently conscious during this sleep period they are, in fact, what we call asleep. / This one photographed in an amniobaric chamber in which they regularly use for achieving higher states of consciousness. Oddly, this procedure is accompanied by sounds that remind me of whales back on Earth long ago. / Created in Photoshop. Face made up from features of several images and blended with Photoshop-generated shapes and textures.
A happy little family by retepk

An Antlerian family, from a little-known planet (except to us) just the other side of the Watery Way called Aranellus 5. The people take great care in their appearance and facial tattooing and colouring are regarded highly. The planet’s atmosphere is similar to Earth’s but has about 12 per cent more oxygen. Oh and be sure to drop in on the Awaiawai family (seen here). Their home cooking is something to cherish. You have to also check out the botanica it’s amazing . . . / We’ll leave the rest there but if you can spare the time go there the water skiing’s great. / Created in Photoshop using facial features from photos with shapes and textures and a Bryce moon. A / A reworking of an earlier image.
We are Cy-Borg by AlienVisitor

On Malis III, experiments were performed on humans, through genetics and robotics a new race was born. But not without some disastrous effects, both devil-like and god-like,many uprisings were attempted and squashed by the borgs. / But in the 9th uprising the borgs finally won their freedom, they called themselves the Cy-borg. / Having researched themselves they found that the description in an Earthly dictionary fit them perfectly. “cyborg a fictional or hypothetical person whose physical abilities are extended beyond normal human limitations by mechanical elements built into the body.” But of course in their case it was neither Fictional or Hypothetical. “May you always create well and prosper” Alienvisitor’s Imagi – Nation or look inside an…....

The chess players by retepk

A Macaranthi aviator pictured at a local restaurant where you can find on the menu such delights as diasphaghi, a casserole-like dish made from Zorang offal and Iatopian spudnuts. All I can say is I ‘m glad I’m vegetarian. / Anyway the Macaranthi are voracious chessplayers. Yes this Earth game has found its way to Macaranth out on the edge of the 18th Quadrant of the Sixth System. They also like bungey (I hope I spelt that correctly) jumping but they do it from 10,000 feet. It’s a REAL adrenalin rush!! Back to the chess. You can see them playing it everywhere. Well except when they are bungey jumping. Can recommend a visit to this charming little planet and its charming people. Just don’t have the diasphagi. / Created in Photoshop. Photographed facial elements combined with Photoshop-generated shapes and textures. Layering mainly in Lighten mode. / Took about six hours.
Saldaneru Nobantis at Abervand by Starshadow

Saldaneru Nobantis ( sal-dan-EHR- oo noe-BAN-tis) is a minor character in an original novel-in-progress. It’s wintertide at Abervand and she is working now as a creche mother in the children’s creche at Lord Khazarizhad’s estate, Abervand, where children are being raised collectively by specially trained crecheparents, both mothers and fathers, who love their work and love children, for Khazarizhad has decreed that never again children will be abused or neglected or treated as either rubbish or commodities, but will be wanted, loved and cared for, raised to a healthy and happy adulthood. Saldaneru wears the early crecheworkers uniform of dark blue and white with a voumninous apron. The head scarf in later centuries gives way to a small coif under which the women’s hair is tucked as fashions change. Here she is holding her own son, but she has the care, along with several other adults, of all the children in the creche, and is expected to show no favoritism; all children are to be loved equally.
Obligans Namsen, First Consort, Official Portrait by Starshadow

In order to unite Hyperion, Khazarizhad married the daughter of Bet’Abi Namsen, and she posed for her first official portrait on one of the balconies at Abervand. In the background is Clymaiad, the sacred mountain. She holds her favorite flower, pasiacas, and wears one of the blooms in her hair.
Portrait of First Consort, the Lady Obligans Namsen by Starshadow

This is the official portrait of the First Consort of Khazarizhad, Obligans Namsen, last princess of the old style ruling family Namsen of Mathravaka, whose marriage united Hyperion and ended the Last Wars. She is posed on one of the many balconies of Abervand, Khazarizhad’s estate, and she carries pasiacas blossoms, her favorites, and wears one in her hair. Behind her is the sacred peak of Clymaiad (klye- MAY-ad), the highest mountain on Hyperion. Khazarizhad painted the portrait himself, as he painted each of his many Companions and few Consorts over his long life. Her serene good looks belie her nature; immediately after the painting was finished, she threw a temper tantrum of immense proportions, and Khazarizhad was forced to retreat to his friend’s apartments to get some peace,and in order that he might not, with his great strength, accidentally harm her by returning temper for temper. Their marriage was not a peaceful one, though he did try to make it so, to his credit.
