#4 – Keitos the Ekros
Keitos belongs to a race of avianesque beings called Ekros. The Ekros live in elaborate cities in the skies of their home planet, but have completely devastated and drained the surface world. A thick cloud of pollution, grime, and noxious gas serves as a barrier between the beautiful floating cities and the barren landscape. The Ekros have taken to scouring other worlds for resources to help a people in crisis.
Keitos himself is a biowarrior, a fighter who utilizes both their extensive medical knowledge and the unique power of biological weapons. Since the Ekros are an extremely technically advanced society, Keitos never has any trouble finding the right supplies he needs. He’s served in many battles, acting as both a field doctor and an air soldier. He’s lost many friends (and rivals) as the armies of the Ekros conquered enemy worlds. He takes everything he does very seriously – there’s hardly any joking with this veteran.
Still, he merely holds a heavy heart, and has a passion for great works of art that is unmatched. Behind his cold, militarian exterior hides a man who can find beauty in anything, and appreciate it deeply and sincerely. One might suspect it’s the only thing keeping him sane.

Breathtaking sketch! Great story. I’d love to read that story. I adore anthropomorphic characters. You should check out my characters. That is all I’ve done so far. 🙂
Anthropomorphic characters can be fun, if they’re done right! I prefer human characters but I do like to see what I can do with an animal from time to time.
Your characters look really nice! I love the squirrel, bahaha.
Wonderful sketch! Love the steam punk goggles.
Thank you! Goggles seemed pretty fitting for a species that lives in the skies. That and they just look so damn stylish…
What’s the character on his backpack? Love the sketch, by the way.
It’s from the Ekros’ language, it just says “battle doctor.” Though the more I look at it, the more I see a skull. Oh well. Thank you!
