Description
I copy others to feel ALIVE. Everyone else has their own "race". I want one too. T.TAfter that meme, I've been inspired to draw more stuff. Here's something I'm working on at the moment. This design is a part of the story Silym and I are collaborating on.
Seiks are a lizard-like people and, like humans, are capable of vast intelligence. Although they travel faster on four legs, they can stand on two. They heavily differ from other races since all Seiks are asexual both mentally and physically. Although they have strong bonds and friendships, Seiks don't feel "romantic" love towards one another. Plus, they don't have any reproductive organs. Seiklings are born in massive rookeries, and because there are no parents, they are raised by the community as a whole.
I'm still not sure where the babies come from though. I know! How about storks? xD Please tell me if you have any ideas.
This is a male Seik. Females are less muscular, have smaller chins, and have perked ears. Both genders have a pair of large wings that come out from the humps behind their shoulders. This one is a "bald" rendition of a Seik; they can have feathers, scales, spikes, frills, fur, fins, and other custom features depending on the type of Seik.
Originally the concept didn't have a shell covering the head. I'm not totally sure if I'm gonna keep it that way. It looks really cool, but it would be hard to give them expressions without any visible eyes. Maybe they use a lot of body language or something. Hrmm...
I colored him red and white, but after playing with the colors, green and white came out looking better. Hehe.

I'm a late comer who just found your work and hasn't gone through your gallery yet, so I don't know if you've gone anywhere with the Seik, but you were asking for ideas on how they could reproduce if they don't have genders. My idea: plants. They're actually born from the spores of some sort of plant, but the plants need very specific conditions to live, so the Seik care for the plants and make sure they don't die off. And mebbe when the Seik die, a new plant grows from their body or something?

i feel the same way about charectors....
This is very nice. Reminescint of a xenomorph, almost. If you want more expression I would definetly loose the shell, unless you use a lot of ear and lip movement to portray emotion.
As for the babies, how about one carries little pouches of like DNA or soemthing inside them, and when they die the 'pups' or whatever eat their way out and come out youngsters? IDK having no reproductive organs makes this pretty crippling....Then again you can always say that the species was created in tubes, so new ones were grown (perhaps by aliens?) and are released when they mature?

I wouldn't want to meet one in a dark ally way. O.o Or be chased by one.

I love that green. Muted, toxic greens and oranges are wonderful.
... what about mitosis? I'm not sure what the "personality" of the species on a whole is, but perhaps the ones that get really large split into a dominant and subdominant one. That way, they would have a very hierarchical society based on age, and maybe there would be a few families of Seik, to which all Seik would belong... and when the original died off, some battle for succession takes place.
I've been fantasizing too much about mafias recently. = w =

Nice. I wonder what story and Kit are working on.

Cool design, but how do they see?

Maybe they're like Xenomorphs where they can see out of the shell, but you can't see into it - kinda like a one-way mirror. I haven't quite figured that out yet.
I'm still wanting to keep two genders. I also want them in giant litters. Maybe the whole "queen" thing would work. Then they'd be more Xenomorphy than originally intended. xD

They don't use living hosts, I hope!

I love his ears! They are the coolest design I have seen. I love how you drew his backfeets too.
I want Ero to meet this guy 8)

Wow. Looks like a runner. Broad chest, thick legs, long-whip tail. I would hate to race this thing.
And why don't you do like a Piccolo thing? You know, were another organism is created in a special pouch or something and they vomit it back up? Sounds nasty, but it makes sense.
As for the shell over the head, that's a nice touch. Since it's asexual and has no gender, that helps solidify that idea. Also, remember that dog I had in a Naruto RP once? You have to really pay attention to body language.
It's usually the whole body that gives off the biggest signals, but most of the time we don't notice that, and only see the face. It's like what I do with Isaac when I write for him. I make his hands and tail do most of the talking, since he doesn't.
I would love to help you figure more things out, if you wish it. =]
Bravo on your work.

Yesh, I want more help. Yay, I can bug you now that you gave me permission. xD
I'm sure a Seik could easily outrun a human, but now that I look at them, with their torsos being lengthy, their necks being long, and their arms being the same size as their hind legs, I'm wondering if that kind of anatomy would slow them down. They run a lot like how felines do, but felines have short necks and longer hind legs. :/ Or would that not impede them at all? You know more about animals then I. 
The shell makes this guy seem much more "souless" than I wanted (a commenter below said she's scared of it). Whoops, not what I was going for. Do you think body language alone will help with that?
Bravo on your smartness.

Yikes! I'd be sooo scared to see one of those in a dark alley D:
As for breeding.. Uh.. How do asexual things on earth breed? e.e
