He's so happy aaa

This took around an hour to make. Basically he's in a styidkua (shtidkwa) city, a city built into/around the massive plant styidkua. Twenty clustered styidkua can host a population of 50,000. There's bridges built between styidkua to keep everything connected.

It's in Kaetira, the home continent of the korexes, so it's multicultural. The uppermost section of styidkua cities usually and mostly houses korexes, who need the sunlight. The middle section is nearly reserved for the icy xokure (the character in the picture is a xokure) as it's away from the hot suns and typically hot ground. The ground level is barely a city. Only spikedrops live there,–being semi-aquatic and semi-primitive– where nature grows wild and the ground is usually flooded.

ALSO! This made me realize that I need complex poses to make good pieces like this. I don't know how but crazy poses are just easier to make (as long as it doesn't mess with perspective). The one above isn't all that crazy BUT STILL.

Two watermarks cause– don't want people stealing the xokure and an extra at the corner in case someone sees this one google images and they can't find me. I've been in that situation TOO MANY TIMES.
