creature with unfettered internet access

This is fanon and fanart. world belongs to @elliejaybird . I am just playing in their sandpit, go and read all the canon lore they have been working on for years!!

these are far more rough and I feel like I am walking away from Oppy anatomy the more I draw Kurti.

I am getting the sense that Kurti prefers Fruit over other foods and takes his job very seriously about quality testing whatever he finds. Persimmons do also feel like they would fit in the oppy world, but whether or not they are native to the current oppy colony locations is not my thing to say XD i can only dream.

playing with the idea of a wren like bird companion that takes inspiration from other related and unrelated aussie birds like the willy-wag tail and emu fairy wren to be a chirpy and disgruntled friend for him too.

have been in love with @elliejaybird’s world and stories for a while now. I truly love your world building and really enjoy the care you have put into it. Been meaning to draw an oppy for a while, and though I might still adjust their hind markings I think I am pretty happy with how Kurti came out.

Kurti is a word for the Australian Red Quandong, a native australian apricot that though I am sure the Oppy’s would eat if they had to, can be sour and pretty fruitless. But they have these epic seeds, that both the red quandongs and blue quandong (which is native to south and south east asia and northern australia) have that are used as beads across these regions as well. Even if it isn't completely canon, i feel it fits pretty well as a fanon for me anyway!

thank you for sharing your creations and critters and I hope you like this little creature I have designed based on your recent video
