Hi! 🤍 I'm Kathaja and I love writing sci-fi & romance—yes, that combination—while sharing my alien world through my art. My work is traditional and digital, quite often a blend of both. Want to know more about my world and novel? Read on in the replies! ↓
Collage of 4 artworks tinted in muted, dark colors. Top left: Fineliner art of an alien character, Zhaikes Nazkarath (OC), buffing out his chest and looking over his shoulder, with an angry expression. Top right: Digital art of a cat-like alien character, an Arka (species), with long flowy hair and white eyes without pupils. Bottom left: Pencil art of a snarling creature, the Ozyres, showing a maw full of pointy teeth and a long tongue. Bottom right: Digital art of a reptilian alien character, a Vortecc (species), with an elongated face and bendy tendrils on their head.

I can't believe I made this. It's the most color-ish colored thing I ever did. I'm partially convinced that someone else made it and I stole it 💀 It's my alien species, the Nan-Te'gah, showing an option for their colors and skin patterns. . #art #NanTegah #ConceptArt #alien #OCsky #WorldBuilding
Digital art of a monstrous but humanoid alien (species: Nan-Te'gah). The alien has their head tilted down and glances up menacingly. They have a crude bone-like structure on their face, with strangely aesthetic swirls and tips. They have ears too, which are more like thick appendages attached to the head. Their skin color is a light low saturated green with red scattered stripes. The eye is cerulean blue. Art by Kathaja Krim.

Ugly 🤍 My species, the Nan-Te'gah. I want to show their actual colors, but not sure how to make it happen yet. Anyway, have this crude sketch in the meantime. . #art #NanTegah #alien #sketch #CreatureDesign

For @alisegluskova.bsky.social - her amazing character Drake 🤍 His features were fun to draw, but also very challenging :> . #art #CharacterArt #DigitalArt
Digital art of the character Drake. His features are humanoid but also monstrous, with pointed ears and several pointed tips framing his face. He has light markings on this skin adorning the area around his eyes and chest. On his back are four tentacle-like appendages which swish behind him. He wears a crop top sweater exposing his muscular chest with straps crossing his pecs. Art by Kathaja Krim.

Goofy art of Zhaikes gets its own post, because I love how it looks :} Context linked in the replies. . #art #Zhaikes #ZhorKhat #alien #OCsky
Digital sketch of Zhaikes (species: Zhor Khat) looking like a cat from a GIF. His upper lip is raised, showing a pointy tooth. He looks disgusted, a little grumpy and kinda like someone took a picture in the middle of the moment. Art by Kathaja Krim

May I present to you: Azskor Zhaikes Nazkarath, Commander of the Arak'Tera, Protector of the Araz and Ruler of Krey. You may call him Zhaikes 🤍 . #art #Zhaikes #ZhorKhat #CharacterDesign #OCsky #alien
Digital art of an alien character, Zhaikes (species: Zhor Khat), showing him three times on a reference page from various angels and a close-up of his right eye. He looks grumpy in each of them. Most noticeable is the artwork in the middle where the top-down angle allows a glimpse on his back and the row of scales running along his spine. It also shows two of his four extra limbs that are positioned between his shoulder blades. He glances over his shoulder giving us the side-eye. Descriptive text on the page: Zhaikes Nazkarath, anatomy details. Four pairs of curved horns are set close to his head, with the tips jutting out at the back. Antennae, called Raks‘van, are sensory organs that can detect even the slightest tremors. Their position reflects emotions. His right eye is blind and paler than the left. A technical enhancement can temporarily compensate for the disability, producing small dots of light when active. Three knobs on his face act as anchors for his mask and can’t be removed. His left upper arm and shoulder, as well as the right side of his face, are scarred. Scales protect the sensitive skin and nerve endings beneath, and they can be slightly lifted.

#WIP Remember when I was inspired by that Predator movie? It made me start a page full with drawings of grumpy Zhaikes. I'm enjoying this way too much. . #art #alien #Zhaikes #ZhorKhat #OCsky #scales
WIP shot, digital art of an alien person, Zhaikes (species: Zhor Khat), from a top down angle. Zhaikes is glancing up over his shoulder with a grim expression. The angle gives us a view onto the broad scales running along his spine and two of his extra limbs that are positioned at his shoulder blades. Art by Kathaja Krim.

One more of the #Ozyres. It's from a time when I loved to do rough fineliner sketches and then shade them quickly with ink wash. It's on grey paper. . #art #CreatureDesign #monster #sketch
Traditional art of a creature, the Ozyres, sitting like a good boy with its head raised high. It was two pointy ears, laid back, and fully white eyes. The posture gives off proud vibes.

These creatures have many names, but the most common is #Ozyres or Ozy. Their upper body is about the size of a wolf. They hunt in packs too. . #art #CreatureDesign #monster #PencilArt
Several pencil drawings of the same creature, the Ozyres. Its body is half snake (lower part) and half dog-dragon (upper part). It has two long pointy ears and sharp teeth. Noticeable are 3 horizontal folds on the front part of its neck. Those folds also appear on the side of its body and are gills.

This creature is called #Ozyres. They are predators living on Yr'takia, the home world of the Karyta and Arka species. Their territories are the shores, where they can hunt both the land and the ocean dwellers. . #art #SciFi #CreatureDesign #monster
Pencil art of a creature's head in side-view, the Ozyres. The creature is snarling, showing off its crooked teeth and a long tongue. Its eye is purely white with a soft glow. It has two ears which are set back, underlining the aggressive pose. Art by Kathaja Krim.

Okay, it's not... awful. It's fine. It's actually fine. I colored something and have no need to uninstall. I... okay. . #art #Zhaikes #Lara #ZhorKhat #OCsky
Digital art of my OCs Zhaikes and Lara, in color! Zhaikes has greenish tones, from skin to bio-armor. Lara has light skin with red hair and an olive green top. Her eyes are green too. They stand next to each other, while Zhaikes has one of his wing-lile limbs bent over Lara. He looks grumpy and says "What are you looking at...?". Lara seems friendly saying "Hi".

Hug 🤍 My OCs #Zhaikes and #Lara from my novel project. They meet as enemies and end up like.. this. . #art #ZhorKhat #SciFiRomance #alien #hug
Digital art of Lara, a human woman, hugging Zhaikes, an alien man. Lara stands over Zhaikes and has her arms around his neck, while pressing his head to her chest. Zhaikes seems to be indecisive, his hand hovering next to Lara with his fingers being curled. While he likes the experience, he is unsure if he may reciprocate the hug. One tiny detail to notice: On the inside of Zhaikes' wrist is a small symbol that looks just like my artist logo. Art by me, Kathaja Krim.

No way. I sketched something. Not the art I'm supposed to continue, of course, because why would I do that. #Arka are basically centaur cats with lizard vibes. They are an alien species in my universe. . #art #sketch #SciFi #centaur
Digital sketches of an alien species, the Arka. Their body reminds of a centaur, but with dragonic legs and a thick lizard tail. Their eyes are rather big and fully white. They have two cat-like ears which are long and pointy. The sketches show a larger upper body drawing, two full-body and one close-up of a foot. Art by Kathaja Krim.

WIP ⊹₊⟡⋆ Breathing is overrated. My OCs #Lara and #Zhaikes hugging. Okay, Lara does the hug, Zhaikes is.. processing the situation. . #wip #art #sketch #SciFi #OCsky
Digital sketch of my OCs, Lara and Zhaikes hugging. Lara, the smaller human, is positioned higher than the much larger alien man. She cuddles his head firmly to her chest. Zhaikes looks overwhelmed and doesn't hug her back. However, he seems to enjoy the situation. The sketch is WIP, the lines are messy and some of Zhaikes' extra limbs are still missing.

He messed up.. Also, yes, that's perhaps their correct size difference. #Zhaikes & #Lara. . #art #alien #OCsky #SciFi #ZhorKhat
Digital drawing of my OCs Zhaikes and Lara standing next to each other. Zhaikes is a tall alien man, with insectoid antennae and reptilian features, clad in bio-amor. Lara is a slim human woman and at least two heads smaller than the alien. Zhaikes leans towards Lara, appearing apologetic. His prosthetic hand hovers close to Lara's head, while she is looking away with sadness and disappointment. Art by Kathaja Krim.

Do all my aliens have extra limbs? Yes, sir. That is a key feature. #Vortecc species, my beloved 🤍 . #art #alien #CreatureDesign #sketch
Digital sketch of an alien character (species: Vortecc) with six eyes, three of them visible. The alien is standing on a bolder, with long reptilian legs. Their arms flare out in mid-turn, thick tail swishing behind them. Three long tentacles sit on their head, flying through the air along with the alien's dynamic pose. Art by Kathaja Krim.

Zhaikes neither has nipples nor (visible) bits, so he may have won the labeling game of Bluesky. . #art #Zhaikes #ZhorKhat #sketch #alien #OCsky
Three digital sketches of my OC Zhaikes (species: Zhor Khat). Zhaikes is an alien with a humanoid body and four large extra limbs sprouting from his back. The extra limbs look like pointy crab legs arranged like bony wings. The sketches show them in different positions along with the body's poses. Additionally, Zhaikes has smaller, more delicate antennae on his head, that also move with his expressions. His left lower arm and hand are substituted by a prosthesis. On his chest are three alien symbols. Art by Kathaja Krim.

The editing capabilities of Snapseed are quite impressive. Usually, I can't do this type of edits on a mobile phone. Lines = fineliner in my sketchbook Edit = Snapseed . #art #VarUSan #alien #CreatureDesign
Sketch of an alien (Species: Var'U'San) with white plating covering most of the head and two spear-like appendages on top of the head. A cloth is attached to the appendages and hanging down along the face and chest. Two more thick worm-like appendages spread out behind the alien.

I added more sketches :} The right sketch shows a clothing option for their head and upper body. And I added a weird hand of course. . #art #VarUSan #alien #sketch
Three sketches of an alien creature (species: Var'U'San), a half-body, a hand and a bust. The bust shows the alien with a loose cloth which is attached to their thin spear-like 'ears' hanging down along their head and covering their arms and parts of the chest.

The body of the Var'U'San is typically slim, with long limbs & lean muscles. Their ribcage has a gap at the front held together by tendons. I'm thinking about giving them the ability to expand their ribcage further by stretching the gap. For extra oxygen consumption. #art #sketch #VarUSan #alien
Photo of a sketch in a sketchbook with a Micron pen next to it. The sketch shows an alien (species: Var'U'San) with a slim, humanoid body and thin arms that have one elbow joint too much, compared to a human. The face is covered with a mask-like plate. High on the head are two pointy appendages akin to bony ears. On the side of the face are two long, worm-like appendages that hang down along the body. The sketch is unfinished, with the lower body and hands fading out.

I am at Tenerif and brought my sketchbook. You may expect scribbles of various qualities in the near future. ♡ . #art #sketch #alien #VarUSan #sketchbook
Photo of a sketch in a sketchbook. It shows an alien (species: Var'U'San) with slightly bird-like features. The top of the head is covered with a smooth carapace that forms a beak. Two thick antennae stand up high, like thin ears. The neck is covered with feathery hair. The jaw seems round, but prominent, sprouting several worm-shaped appendages.

My OCs, Zhaikes and Lara, an alien man and a human woman. Lara leans in and places a hesitant kiss on Zhaikes' lips. Zhaikes has his eyes closed and antennae spread in all directions. Despite his sharp features, he shows a soft, overwhelmed expression.

The Karyta once believed the spirits of the ocean punished them for leaving the depths and seeking what lay above. Whenever they ascended too high, a strange illness befell them and made them turn back. However, ... (1/2) . #art #mermay #sci-fi #DarkArt #Karyta #EB7
Digital painting of an aquatic alien, a Karyta, hovering slightly beneath the surface. They have four tentacle-like tendrils on their head spreading out in all directions. Their bodily markings glow eerily reflecting on the surface.
