Speedpaint for my recent drawing! I drew the sketch for this one while in a car, on my phone, with my finger, because I didn’t have my drawing tablet at the time (it was very difficult). The song is ‘You Are My Light’ by Růde
I have a name for this species now, they're called the Heriheri! This is Mitra, he's a different subspecies to Watama but they're both pretty similar. He is wearing a necklace of seed pods because they rattle, and that's useful since his job is feeding/sacrificing people to the Mother of the Deep, which is a massive blind cave creature a bit like an olm (she recognises the rattling sound and knows not to eat him). The long spines on his head can move, and he wiggles them about to show different emotions. They fall off every year and he grows new soft ones. Also, don't be fooled by Mitra's cute exterior and the fact that he's only about the size of a dog, this guy is Evil.
what are your thoughts on shrimp
Shrimp have a lot of personality, their little whiskers are nice. Only thing is they do skitter around alot which makes it hard to put them back in the sea if I accidentally catch them while crabbing. Their lack of pincers/general aggressiveness is definitely a plus because it makes it easier to hold them :)

My horrible son, Watama. He is a sophont living in a series of caves in a big colony along with other creatures of his species (not sure what I will call them yet) and technically he is a subtroglophile since his species has to leave the caves to get food etc (they are omnivores but eat lots of bugs. Yummy). His species is nocturnal, hence the big sad wet eyes. Also his species usually wears clothes of some sort since it's quite cold where they live, I just haven't drawn them yet. Watama is a male, but like the Kerilone who he is distantly related to, when he reaches a certain age and body fat percentage, he'll become a female, and get a lot larger and more sedentary, and lose the red pigmentation around his chest spiracles. This won't happen for him for a long while though, since he's pretty skinny for a whatever-he-is, although you can't tell because of his thick layer of plumulaceous feathers. He is quite a drab example of his species, but they aren't generally super colourful anyway - there's not much point if you live in a dark cave.
Akane Nari, also known as "SW1FT". This is her PARADISO form (basically her avatar in a big virtual world that everyone uses). She was originally a human until she was (almost) killed, and her consciousness was uploaded into an android body. Now she does gladiator fights for fun and annoys her girlfriend Kepri by playing hyperpop at 2AM.
Rilicai in the rain. Inspired by how rainy it is where I live at the moment. Rain is pretty common where she lives as well, but she doesn’t normally go to the forest - most of her species live in or on mountains.
