While developing Genesis and later Commlink I noticed that a lot of playable options miss illustrations where the metatype is shown in its full glory and in a way that you can recognize physical traits. I decided to commission and artist to change that. Later on our Patreon added required money to continue the task, so the continuation is totally a community effort - thanks to our supporters.
Most illustrations have been done by Andreas "RabenAAS" Schroth, with some additions by Benjamin Giletti, which both are really great to work with.
There is already a poster with metatypes and metavariants available as print. Another one is planned for the end of 2024.
Opening the images below in a new tab/window gets you a slightly larger view.
