Near Future, Soft Science Fiction
Space in the future is vast and populated with more anthropomorphic species that you can shake a stick at! (And oddly anachronistic technologies, because this was originally drawn back in 2000 and I am bad at predicting the future.)
The Alliance of Holst (canine), Khriss (feline), Hr’n’ti (avian), Quan (quan!), and Humans is aligned against a seemingly unstoppable force of the Sslin (non-anthropomorphic giant cobras). While there is no magic, there is telepathy, telekinesis, and racial hiveminds which makes for fun alien adventures!
This verse is currently webcomic focused, although there are some prose bits as well. I didn’t start out as a graphic novel ‘verse, but it’s hard to stop doodling once you start…
