The “Plesiosaurus” is a marine reptile of 3 to 5 meters in length that lived at the beginning of the Jurassic, The name of the Plesiosaurus means “close to the lizard” due to the belief of the extinct species of “antediluvian reptiles” in the first fossil records.
The “Plesiosaurus” was a reptile adapted to marine life (holding its breath for 20 minutes or more) for which its jaw and teeth evolved to function as a toothed trap for fish and “belemnites” (primitive squid), its long neck and a small triangle-shaped head according to one hypothesis functioned as a rudder that could change the direction of a pursuit while its four fins propelled it at great hydrodynamic speed.
Within the saga of “DinoCrisis” the “Plesiosaurus” are recurring enemies in the submerged facilities of the reactor and the docks, to eliminate their threat it is recommended to use the needle weapon and the water grenade with “Regina” the bravest woman of the primitive seas.
As a final data, there were a great variety of “Plesiosaurus” that had morphological differences with the length of their necks and the size of their head, such as the “Elasmosaurus” and the “Pliosauroids”.

Registration: Millennium 31 “Second Foundation” (approximate time)
Planet “Cretacia” (World highly Dangerous for humans)
To Ambient: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irzxkCnS80k&ab_channel=SlowedGojiraRadio
Some time after the Great Heresy, the chapter of the “Flesh Ripper” space marines successors of the Blood Angels (sons of “Sanguinius”) found themselves in battle against a fleet of space Ork corsairs, proving to be worthy sons of the angel. Most of the Orks but a few greenskins managed to escape its Claws.
The leader of the Ripper Captain “Nassir Amit” ordered the pursuit of the Orks to a distant unknown planet in the “Corythos” sector. As the Ork hunt continued and a dense fog entered the planet’s atmosphere. Ripper ships and Orks spot the gigantic raptors that shot them down to fall into a dense jungle with swamps that stretched as far as the eye could see.
Ignoring the dangers of the planet, the Ripper and the Orks were attacked by surprise by the native beasts of the planet that attracted by the impact of the ships did not allow any defense to claim them as food; While the Orks were being torn to pieces by the fauna and flora, the Ripper maintained their positions with enormous casualties, requesting reinforcements from Captain “Nassir” until only Sergeant “Manakel” was left alive, who, determined to continue fighting until exhaustion, was saved by the spears of wild humans who carried the banner of the Imperial Eagle. (Lost Expedition of the Great Crusade)
Relying on the help of wild humans, Sergeant “Manakel” was escorted to the tribe refuge where he met the tribal chief who told him about the dangers of his world, highlighting the story of “Raktoryx” the most powerful beast that makes you tremble. the ground with his footsteps, skeptical the Sergeant did not take long to experience the fear of the tribe when he heard the shouts of alarm from the savages (The Raktoryx was close) luckily Captain “Nassir” located the sergeant and got up to date on the situation.
Under a new deployment the Rippers combed the jungle finding the feared giant “Raktoryx”. Determined to conquer this savage planet the Ripper saw the reptilian giant as a worthy trophy to test his strength. The battle of the Ripper against the “Raktoryx” was so challenging that the plasma shots failed to pierce or burn its skin causing the reptile to become enraged enough to spit fire from its jaw to destroy the ships like flies, seeing the little effectiveness After the attack the veteran chaplain of the chapter “Zophal” interceded for his brothers in a last daring plan to attract the attention of the beast “Raktoryx” to the top of a sleeping volcano along with a few volunteers who held their positions until they were crushed by the reptile managing to move the beast to the top where “Zophal” was the last decoy that collapsed from the wounds suffered from his journey said goodbye to his brothers with a detonation that woke up the volcano that engulfed and killed the “Raktoryx” in an explosion of magma that destroyed the entire surrounding air.
With the honorable sacrifice of brother “Zophal” the “Flesh Rippers” conquered the inhospitable planet they named “Cretace” for the numerous beasts similar to the extinct dinosaurs and to demonstrate their new dominance to the beasts the Rippers built in the cleared area. a fortress that would be the new home of the chapter along with the wild humans who would continue the Angel’s legacy.

As an extension of “Starship Troopers” and the interstellar battle between the Terran Federation (humans) against the Arachnid Empire (bugs) I present the concept of:
The Plasma Bug is the largest and fattest bug among arachnids reaching 12 meters high, its main function is to shoot plasma with its huge abdomen, its attack can be compared to antiaircraft artillery cannons occupying defensive positions in land colonies of arachnids; Its plasma blast can deflect asteroids or cut federation capital ships in two. ☄
“SICON” (the Terran confederation military intelligence) contemplated the theory that the “Plasma Bug” has enough explosive power to send capsules or spores into space with precision to colonize other habitable worlds for the arachnids (justifying the invasion of the arachnids on various planets.)
To eliminate the Plasma Bug you can use any explosive missile in the distance, the only precaution are the Warrior Bugs that roam or protect the gunner bug, even if the detonation hits the target, it is recommended to protect yourself by the plasma chain explosion.
Here the Terran confederation sending a counterattack on “Klendathu” that soon lost the morale to keep fighting:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alHmSaHpHD4&ab_channel=BingeSociety-TheGreatestMovieScenes It is clarified that the Confederate leadership was easy to occupy if he was gutted by the bugs another soldier would be promoted and so on.

The “Adepts” are a specialized infantry officer of the “Protoss” forces, The vast majority of the “Adepts” ranks are made up of Protoss females with Psychic training, the position of females in the Protoss warrior culture was a taboo very badly seen by the Conclave of Elders for this reason they were never allowed to participate in battle until the retaking of “Auir”. (Home planet of the Protoss race)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCaTshCjFAE&ab_channel=BHOExtract
In battle the “Adepts” have the function of attacking and repositioning themselves by using a Psychic projector that amplifies their “teleportation” speed allowing them to escape from ambushes and continue harassing the enemy in more vulnerable positions; The only weakness of the Adepts is their light armor to compensate for greater mobility, among the weapons assigned to the Adepts is the widely used “Needle Cannon” that fires a disc condensed with psychic energy that can bounce between enemies until burning them.
As additional information, the “Protoss” Civilization is very long-lived but has a low birth rate in its population (very few even get married) when the Zergs invaded their planet it was a catastrophic event for the males of the species (the vast majority sacrificed in battle) leaving very few soldiers on the verge of annihilation for this cause the female Protoss took a more active role in the war against the Zergs and the Terrans. (If the war had been prolonged, the Protoss Race would have been extinct despite having the best technology in the galaxy.)

Without fail but not least among the alien factions that fight the empire of humanity we have to dissect the behavior of the “Tyranid” swarms.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76pTu3nq6FU&ab_channel=Eliphas
In summary The “Tyranids” are a species of hostile “arthropods” that consume the life of an entire planet with an invasion of billions in the first reconnaissance raid, the origin of the “Tyranids” is unknown to the empire of the humanity but there is a theory that they traveled from another distant galaxy where they surely ended up with all their food sources. (Another, more sinister theory proposes that the “Tyranids” escaped or were unleashed to purge the galaxies of all life.)
All Tyranids share a synaptic connection with the “Hive Mind”, an entity from the distant void that submits to its control and will each Tyranid form that responds in sync with the strategy of each planetary invasion; In reference to the previous account of the “Genestealer” if the cult represses the population of an infiltrated planet and the call is made to the “Hive Mind” the nearest fleet of the Tyranids will come to ruthlessly extract all organic resources, minerals and bacteriological of the planet until only leaving a sterile stone wandering through the emptiness of the cosmos.
The appearance of the Tyranids is very diverse and with different combat specialties that counteract the resistance they may encounter from other alien species, a particular case is the “Zoanthropes” a form of Tyranid that assimilated the DNA of the “Eldar” to develop a skull with “Psychic” power that rivals its enemy but without a doubt the most dangerous and gigantic subspecies of Tyranid is the “Dominatrix” whose scientific name is “Tyranicus praepotens” an intimidating swarm queen that submits other forms under its synaptic control of inferior Tyranids that obey him to obtain food and reproduce until they exceed the number of troops and obtain the conquests by numerical advantage.
When an Imperial planet is lost due to an invasion of Tyranids and they threaten to expand to other regions, the order of “Exterminatus” is proclaimed, which means the destruction and death of a planet under the sentence of the holy Inquisition, immediately afterwards the atmosphere and the surface of the planet is bombarded and burned by spaceships from orbit, few things survive an “Exterminatus” and the spread of these terrible “xenos” (Imperial Gothic term to refer to aliens with contempt) is stopped. The threat posed by the “Tyranids” in the battles of the 41st -42nd millennium is so exhausting for the empire of humanity that it was confirmed that they arrived in our galaxy following the signal from the “ Astronomican ” to devour its source (The Emperor, well his remains).
Here the declaration of “Exterminatus”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h67JpMyrOVE&ab_channel=HellFox83 ⚡ ☄
As a curious fact, the swarm of the “Tyranids” is divided into several “bio-ships” very different in adaptations and attack strategies for this reason they were assigned names of mythological monsters such as: Ouroboros, Collossus, Behemoth, Kraken and Leviathan.

“From terror to the Apocalypse of the worlds”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAhVMFfd_oI&ab_channel=Eliphas⚔
⚠ Warning: The following narrative is so heretical that a sanctified locket will be necessary to continue reading without falling under the influence of ruinous powers.
In summary, when the “Emperor” reached his main objective of conquering a large part of the galaxy and integrating the largest number of human worlds into his Galactic Empire, he decided out of exhaustion to return to the sacred “Terra” to secretly continue his master plan; Abandoning the leadership of the “Great Galactic Crusade” the Emperor himself ascended to his most worthy son to succeed him as the new “Warlord” and future conqueror of the Galaxy in his absence; The chosen son who received the honor of leading the armies and continuing the Crusade fell on the shoulders of the charismatic Primarch “Horus Lupercal”.
For a time the noble “Horus” led his father’s armies with distinction in the most remote areas of the galaxy, ignoring the hidden dangers that watched him, the gods of warp chaos had waited for their moment to act against the “Emperor” his greatest enemy but they were very weakened from not eating human souls for a long time so they decided to influence the weak minds of the exhausted, the marginalized and offended warriors who lost trust in the Emperor. The stain of corruption soon spread in each legion until it seduced with self-centered promises the mind of the Primarch “Horus” who accepted a vile pact with the demons to be the new Emperor of the corrupt humanity. (Initiating the Horus Heresy.)
The civil war that raged throughout the Imperium of Mankind was unmatched by later conflicts and the demons of Chaos feasted on innocent souls until the day the corrupted soul of the warlord “Horus” was erased from eternity for his disappointed and sad Father (The Emperor). Amidst all the Chaos and destruction the Imperium of mankind endured to see its golden age come to an abrupt end with the superstition and heresy of the legions that betrayed the Imperium. (Morally wounded by a demonic infection, the “Immortal” Emperor was admitted to his “Golden Throne” as life support, but his flesh decomposed over the millennia.)
As additional information, the heresy of the Primarch “Horus” is so relevant until the events of the 41-42 millennium that his ancient legion of the “lunar wolves” later renamed “Sons of Horus” (the genetically modified super-humans) followed him and they supported until they became a cursed legion under demonic possession that lost all kind of military coercion after the death of the traitor Primarch. Exiled and hunted for annihilation by Imperial mandate, a new leader rose to lead the broken legions of traitors with the title of “Abaddon the Despoiler” champion of Absolute Chaos; Under the fist of Commander ‘Abaddon’ the sons of 'Horus’ renounced the name of their failed Primarch to make a new evil start as 'the Black Legion’.
The Black Legion pursues the whims of their demon gods to curry favor with their dark masters with bloody rituals that spread like a torch of extermination over the loyal sons of the God Emperor. The ranks of the Black Legion are made up of cannibalistic mutants, warp demons, alien slaves and traitors who unite to spread chaos across the galaxy. (Its symbol is the eight-pointed star better known as “the star of Chaos” and its infinite possibilities.)
Finally a quote from the traitorous legions: “Innocence Proves Nothing.”

(Warhammer 40k Terrifying Story)
According to one account when the “Emperor” of mankind physically died in the 31st millennium with his last words he prophesied that in the distant future an unspeakable horror would overrun the Imperium of mankind. (Could the Emperor have visions of the Future?)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h39TjNe2w9o&ab_channel=PythorogusMusic
The “Genestealer” also cataloged as “Corporaptor hominis” are a hybrid race that infiltrates the thousands of worlds that make up the Empire of Humanity; Each “Genestealer” is a vanguard troop that hides in a population of intelligent and highly evolved beings that are the coveted target of the “Hive Mind” (entity from the distant void) to feed and continue to grow, The hybrid aspect of the “ Genestealer” gives them a terrible ability in battle with claws and hooks capable of cutting through the best armor like butter.
The origin of the “Genestealer” is a disturbing mystery but they are closely related to the hostile “Xenomorph” organism “Tyranids” that wander in the void waiting for the signal to consume; The method of invading a populated planet will depend on the cunning and stealth of the "Genestealer” as they hide in the sewers or deeper sectors of the social pyramid to capture an unsuspecting prey and subdue it with their hypnotic gaze while their tongue infects the victim. with a parasite egg hatching inside. (When finished, the victim will be under the mental control of the parasite and will not have detrimental effects on their physical health while undergoing changes in their genetic code.)
Over time, the infected host will have the need to build a family or generate offspring, here the intervention of the parasite will pass from the parent to its offspring, which will be born as a monstrous hybrid that will have very noticeable changes in its physiognomy (four arms, bent and an elongated skull.) After the fourth generation the mutation stabilizes with less noticeable changes to his body except for his hypnotic eyes and pointed teeth. (Mentally parents and children develop a strong psychic connection to hide and continue to infect with a low profile until a critical mass of mutants is reached.)
When the families of the hybrids are large enough to influence politics, economics, and the military without being noticed by the normal populace, they begin a conspiracy to clear the board and overthrow government authority; In this critical stage, the first fanatic mutant “Hybrid Acolytes” appear to the Cult of the “Genestealer” who adore the Hive Mind as their savior and whom they must call with the anarchy and devotion of an absolute planetary coup d'état. (The mutants will take control of the planet as an insurgent army)
If the sabotage works and the new order is restored by the “Genestealer” hybrid mutants, the planet will be lost in the jaws of the hive fleets of the “Tyranids” who will have heard the psychic call to consume all the biomass (living beings) without any harm. kind of resistance because they will be heralded as “saviors” of a doomed existence.
As an annex, this alien infiltration is repeated cyclically in most of the worlds of the empire of humanity, including the events of the 41-42 millennium where other intelligent species in the galaxy suffer from the “Genestealer” incursions without exception, affecting even the empires Orkoids with a spy hybrid infection. (Considering Orks reproduce like fungal spores)
Among other tactics of the “Genestealer” cultist hybrids to camouflage their beliefs in the Hive Mind and continue their call for more adepts without being reprimanded by the order of Inquisitors, the “Four-Armed Emperor Cult” was created on a mining world that He was accused of heresy to the same “Emperor” of Humanity, later the Inquisition sent loyal agents for his investigation with warlike and heretical results of an infection.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfg9YTpo2Uw&ab_channel=IAMCARRON
The “T'au” are the youngest and most prodigious race at a technological level, the first contact of the “T'au” with the empire of humanity happened in the 35th Millennium when the “Adeptus Mechanicus” discovered through a ship exploring a distant planet with alien life forms and cataloged it as suitable for Extermination and colonization, when the first seeding ships were sent, a warp storm trapped the ships and destroyed any attempt to colonize the planet.
Ignoring the fate of not being prematurely attacked by the empire of mankind, the primitive “T'au” nomads moved from rudimentary stone tools and improvised torch-lit shelters to a more complex social system of farmers and tribal castes who built great cities on the savannah of his world.
In a short time the tribes accelerated their knowledge to build fortresses and gunpowder weapons to protect themselves from other rival tribes while maintaining a border treaty to trade essential products with other tribes; For a time they kept political tensions calm but greed provoked the confrontation between the “T'au” and a civil war spread between all the tribes. (Thousands of “T'au” females and males died in the clashes that spread throughout the planet.)
When the 37th millennium arrived, the “T'au” were on the verge of extinction due to war and disease, the few that resisted remained entrenched in their fortresses with little water and food until strange lights appeared in the skies. Many prayed as they thought it was a sign that the end was near but these same lights descended and a silhouette appeared to communicate with their leaders, the strangers introduced themselves as the “Ethereals” and spread their message of peace and hope among the tribes. ✨
Seeking to put an end to the absurd rivalry between the “T'au” tribes, the “Ethereals” spread a diplomatic message that they called the “Greater Good ” or “T'au'Va” (in Tau language) that declares that: “beings sentients must strive for the greater good of all” this ideal was so revolutionary for the “T'au” that all the tribes made peace and rebuilt their cities with greater grandeur under the leadership of the “Ethereals”. The technological advances achieved by the "T'au” under the ideal of the “Supreme Good” prompted the formation of a galactic empire that spread across several worlds where other alien species would have the option of joining the growing “T'au” empire ( It is clear that under the ideal of the “Supreme Good” there is no “xenophobia” even humans can unite peacefully).
As they spread throughout their planetary system the “T'au” advanced to exchange gunpowder for laser weapons, highly concentrated plasma guns and grav vehicles. On the battlefield you can count on an “AI” that assists you in planning a military strategy. Its only disadvantage is the aberration of the “T'au” for a melee conflict, considering it a tactic of barbarians preferring attacks from a distance to avoid direct contact with the enemy.
Inevitably the “T'au” Empire would meet the “Empire of humanity” and the contact between both civilizations was not very pleasant when observing that the colonies of humans that inhabited the regions farthest from the Emperor’s light had become to the ideal of the “Supreme Good”; The battle that was triggered by betrayal of the imperial dogma stalled for several months with great losses for both sides that decided to agree to a truce due to the sudden invasion of a new species of “Xenomorph” that represented a greater threat to both empires. (The Tau were saved from extermination again)
As an unconfirmed curious fact, it is thought that a difference in the sexual dimorphism of the “T'au” is in the sensory organ of their forehead in the form of “I” in males and in females in the form of “Y”, even has a theory that the “T'au” descended from a winged species for their fragile and hollow bones.
Here the Empire of humanity attacking the “T'au”:

In continuation with the “Zerg” but with plasticine I present:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6O6sbK-f7cs&ab_channel=HoradricDatamine
Concept°1: “Impaler Colony”
The impaler colony is a defensive Zerg structure against ground units created by the “Overmind” millennia before the Brood War, each impaler colony uses a tendril that burrows and extends to reach its target, its reaction it is slow but the damage is drastic for the intruder; Despite the rigidity of its defenses, the colony of impalers was succeeded by the “sunken colony” that had more speed and explosive damage but ended up being replaced again by the “Sharp Creeper” a smaller and more flexible version than its predecessors.
Concept°2: “Spore Colony”
The spore colony is a defensive Zerg anti-aircraft structure capable of throwing acid spores into the atmosphere devastating any enemy air force, in addition to its defensive function the spore colony can detect covert or camouflaged ground enemies by specialized sensors. The successor to the spore colony is the “Spore Crawler”.
During the events of the invasion of the fall of “Aiur” (the home planet of the Protoss) the spore colony and the sunken colony failed to protect the Overmind for this reason the swarm replaced its antiquated defenses with a lighter system. and moveable.
Finally, both structures need the  “creep”, a viscous purple cellular organism that extends and nourishes all the “Zerg” structures. If any structure lacks this organism, it slowly degrades and dies; Another function of the creep is to break down other organisms to feed the Zerg tendrils.
Here is a curious mission:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfvH5FxYRTQ&ab_channel=auric180

In continuation with the “Zerg” but with plasticine I present the concept of:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuMhkEL04Jw&ab_channel=LazoCroBj
Roach: it is a subspecies of Zerg with a strong armor layers of spitting highly corrosive acid from its toxic glands. The “Roach” initially fulfills a defensive function in the Zerg swarms to later harass the enemy; The origin of its adaptation goes back to the planet “Garrxax” a mountainous and tropical world where the slug “Zantar” lives, a native organism that feeds by dissolving the nutrients from the rocks, when it was discovered by the Zerg swarm it was assimilated to obtain the mutation of the “Roach” that was able to shoot acid in short distances that disintegrate any armor and burn the meat; The “Roach” as an additional skill could be buried underground and regenerate its most serious injuries in a short period of time by extracting nutrients from the soil.
Being profitable for the swarm, the adaptations of the “Roach” linked its abilities with the strong shell of the Zerg, obtaining a new unit resistant to small arms fire due to its regenerative armor; When a close attack by several cockroaches is sighted, the “Terran” domain recommends scanning the area to locate its underground burrow, then using heavy weapons such as widow mines and artillery explosions in elevated areas that smash the bodies of the cockroaches from a distance safe to nullify its regeneration ability. Sometimes a reconnaissance squad is sent to finish off the wreckage and verify that the cockroaches are not pretending under the risk of a counterattack.

5 sketches while waiting at the hair salon

Haven’t done any drawings for a while so I thought I’d try to make something that was more than a sketch. I might make a 3D version one day :)

From the studio of Teacher Tom Babbey…

“I had the amazing opportunity to work on part of the concept push for the recently released Volo’s Guide to Monsters. Here’s my take on a Rothe, envisioned as a mount for the northern orc tribes. As I was working remotely and wasn’t in house to banter about the critters as I concepted them, I included notes for the team on what I was thinking. It was a blast trying to come up with a mount beefy enough for the orcs that @tylerjacobsonart designed.”
