This was the image commissioned for a Graphic Novel Concept.

Though colorful and majestic in their natural armor and birdlike grace, these dreadfully evil, sentient and brutish Aliens seek out and destroy other cultures across the known Galaxy. No one knows why for sure, perhaps they are motivated by food shortage, xenophobia or just the sheer delight in rampant carnage. If you encounter one, do not fight, do not try to negotiate... flee for your lives.
