I'm currently playing through Metroid Prime 2, and I absolutely LOVE this Illumis.
It reminds me of the Luminoth species...
Well, the feathery parts and the face remind me of it at least! xD
I don't know if the Illumis artist is secretly a fan of Metroid or if it's all just a coincidence. Either way, I'm tempted to create a fanpet dedicated to the Luminoth.
The Irion is fantastic! I imagine it was a bitch to fit it into the 200x200 canvas, but despite that limitation, I think this one is a success! At a quick glance, it's not easy to distinguish the front legs from the back, but it's not too much of an issue.
wonder if the 200x200 will ever be raised to 250x250 in the future
