Just chatting

One more pencil test run before going to bed. Triaformica this time.

These two are both Z-type trias, Arr-Mun-ka and Sho-Kann, or they should be. I just kinda managed to fuck up their coloring kinda bad. I'll have to do a retake someday, but this was made to test pencils anyway (Derwent Inktense).

These two belong to a thing that I feel stupid to call a "couple" since there's three of them, which is totally normal for triaformica standards. For them it's nothing out of ordinary to have more than one mate "married" to you (although you would get strange looks if you had more than four). I seriously need a word for it...

Anyway, the third one of the group, an X called Raam-Err is very high in the hierarcy of their tribe, in a sort of shared leadership role, so these two have a bit more special position inherited from their mate.

Arr-Mun-ka on the left works as Raam's personal second in command, sharing some of his responsibilities in the tribe. He sports a rare color morph (he SHOULD have warm, a bit brownish gray skin and his neck spots should be orange) and an uncommon feature of having his markings run all the way up to his face. He'd actually be quite pretty for his species' standards if he didn't look and act like having a grudge against fun. He is strict yet trustworthy, but really not the person who'd appreciate jokes.

Sho-Kann, also known as Needleneck is a petite thing (who's markings look way too red here. Also his neck spots should have yellow core which I completely forgot) who's personality is pretty much the polar opposite of Arr-Mun. He is easygoing and relaxed and is perfectly happy to let others concentrate on the important responsible things while giving his support from the side. He's taken it his personal business to even out Arr-Mun's grumpiness, and has managed to wiggle his way into the very small group of people who Arr-Mun tolerates nonsense from.

Out of the three, Sho has mothered more litters than the two combined (which isn't that big of a deal since Arr-Mun is known of having only had mothered once) which has caused the skin around his waist to stretch and hang a bit. Some of the local humans have even started to refer to him with "she".

(Oh, hello, wall-of-text, where did you come from?)
