This concept artwork depicts two original species of my own design, heard and earies.
Earies were named as such by early human explorers for the fact that they have no eyes, but four pairs of ears. These creatures live in the pitch darkness of Fungulch - a unique habitat where massive pseudofungal superorganisms have grown tall and grown together, to create a total blackout environment. The pseudo fungi bring energy into the system through photosynthesis, and other flora below parasitize them for nutrients.
Heard are elegant, slow-moving hexapods that communicate to each other with bioluminescence to avoid catching the attention of Earies. Earies are light-framed flying predators that make up for their lack of bulk with deadly sharp teeth and claws, and have impeccable hearing for locating prey in the blackness.
