Kids of each Other Skies species! I wanted to draw a size comparison, and I thought it would be fun to show all of them together. I think they’re all adorable in their own ways! They’re all equivalent ages, about 5 or 6 human years.
Santornans don’t grow horns until they’re a little older. This little guy also had his tail docked shortly after hatching.
Lunestrians have tadpole tails until a certain age, and won’t learn to properly use their telepathy until they’re a bit older.
This Laranthian still hasn’t “woken up” yet; Laranthian brains don’t finish forming until they’re well into childhood. Until then, they’re acting on instinct alone.
Eshenali hatch with underdeveloped wings and no horns. They are a bit fluffier on the feet and tail than adults, though. She’s the biggest baby here, if we don’t count the Atraxan’s feathers!
Zairs are about human-sized, but fluffier. Their body markings aren’t present at birth, but form by the time they’re about this age.
Baby Sucralites are called kits. They require as much sugar as an adult Sucralite and twice as much attention!
Young Atraxans are a lot like baby birds; they hatch featherless, but soon the feathers grow in. This little fella doesn’t have a thagomizer yet, either.
“Baby” Kokoro begin life in simple, fortified robot bodies, gradually changing to other, more complex or more personalized bodies as they age. The basic bodies are built to protect the soft brain within and simplify interfacing with the world. The caution paint is to warn caretakers that the brain is in there!
We all know what a baby human is!!
As a reward for reading all that, here’s the same image but transparent:
