Life forms evolved for microgravity.

Two sentients shepherd a trio of flying life forms, who have angled their bodies towards the 'sun' for warmth.

In the far distance the forms of vast structures fill the sky.

No sentient living here has yet discovered their true nature.

Here's a few questions. I want you to answer those right away!

How do these balloon things propel themselves?

Are the Sentients the flying creatures with two pairs of wings?

How can they fly in such a dense sky?

How can those animals exist in such a harsh sky?

Why do the sentients hide in their livestock?

And finally, WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THAT GIGANTIC THING IN THE FAR DISTANCE?!?!!!11111

1: They drift with the air currents, or swim like squid by expanding their body full of air and contracting to expel it in a jet stream.

2: Yep, the sentients have two pairs of wings

3:The sky is about as dense as earths atmosphere, but there is no gravity.

4: The sentients hide their livestock from thieves or predators.

5:The gigantic thing is a secret ;)

This was in a magazine. Was it Cosmos? or something else? Did you give permission? (stunning picture by the way)

They paid for it yeah :) Was cool to see it in there.

That is so cool. After reading that article and seeing your picture (years ago) I spent ages on Blender making my own version of the flying thing and animating it to fly.

Any chance to see it?

I don't have the finished one any more, but here is an old save I managed to find and touch up a bit. It is animated, but you can't see that in the picture here: [link]

I will try and do some more work on it so that I can actually control it like a game (that was what the original had + some better textures).

If you want to see it flying, and have Blender (free download here: [link]) I can email you the .blend file (you will have to note me your email address first though)

Fantastic! Its always interesting to see how people take my critters. An interesting redesign you have there.

Thank you. I actually remember it being closer to your design, but it appears I took a little artistic licence :) Your creatures and environments look highly plausible. You have grasped that alien life would be ALIEN not just a human with an ugly mask on! You seem to have planned out a good deal of your world's evolutionary process.
