My mess.

I have so many ideas but unfortunately theres only so much time in the day. Got my first day off in months and spent my time working on these. The style itself is a favored style I use for my pokemon fanart! :D

There's...so much going on. I couldn't decide on a l o t of the components in this piece. There was alot of back and forth and I argued with myself. Hell, my brain is telling me to switch the waves to the right side. I think it might look slightly better...also that green backdrop needs to be darker...god dammit.

Who them? They are nameless (for now) and is a part of one of my fan stories. A matriarch amongst her village of infamous slave traders favored by the glukkons to replenish their factories. Their numbers of dedicated workers are depleting from the rumor of an uprising ignited by an alleged mystical, blue mudokon. Snatching strays and younglings alike they are not above selling their own young as long as they are promised to gain more to their growing surplus of wealth.

Another nameless. Its haaaaaaard to name these guys. Something something SAD something something.

In order for their village to be spared, they have volunteered themselves into servitude until they eventually expire. The threat to their village doesn't end there. It is a continuous reminder used in order for them to keep performing, no matter how insidious the order is. Their long braided feathers are used as a whip to "motivate" any slave that dare to misalign themselves in any fashion.

BABY.

A foretold savior of sorts Uog and unamed (lol). A trash collector and exotic fish breeder finds the hero of this story in a potato chip bag washed ashore amongst a heap of filth. Skillya didn't even bother eating him as she thought he wouldn't be worth the chew. An electric fish reveals their destiny.

Kinda rushing through these. Work is beating me into the g r o u n d.

Day 13

Sickness (I also hate this one with a passion)

Nah he's fine. I swear.

They've been shown capable of lifting a lot, Abe can haul himself up ledges with ease, they were shown able to climb vertical walls with ease in Exoddus. I think they just have like, ant-strength. They're capable of lifting twice to three times their weight without struggling, as we've seen.

While they are evolved from bird-like creatures, they themselves are in fact more lizard like.

Mudokons natural diet in native tribes consists of fruit, insects, and fish.

Processed meat is not part of a Mudokons natural diet, so the labourers in factories usually develop health problems from a lack of nutrition.

Mudokons call each other "mud", it's not unlike how we would call a friend "man" or "bro". Like, "Hey, mud! What's up!"

Mudokons have very small teeth compared to their mouthes. Their teeth are blunt as they are mostly herbivores.

They self-lubricate through their skin. This is how Abe's stitches keep from going dry.

Mudokons are like chameleons, and their skin will tint other colours depending on their mood. Yellow = Very Happy, Blue = Very Sad. Red = Very Mad. Green = Very Uncomfortable/Sick.

Also like lizards, Mudokons hands and feet are evolved to help them be able to scuttle and climb flat surfaces like walls. We see Abe and his buddies do this, as well as the Keeper.

In concept art, Mudokons had retractable frog-like tongues!

Mudokon nostrils are on their foreheads.

While Mudokon Workers and Drones are known for having a rainbow variety of feathers, Queens on the other hand have a much smaller but exclusive array.

Feather colouration is an evolutionary trait Mudokons have possessed for their entire existence. Workers and Drones possess wide varieties of feathers in order to impress queens, while queens tend to remain more stationary.

Grey is a natural colour of Queen feathers. Despite what a lot of people suspect, the colour of Mudokon feathers has nothing to do with age at all. A lot of Shamans tend to have grey feathers, causing a stereotype among other species that elder Mudokons have Grey feathers. In reality, a lot of infertile queens end up choosing a shamanistic lifestyle in adulthood as they cannot aide their tribes by producing eggs. Queens are known to dye their feathers (with natural dyes made from fruits and flowers) many vibrant colours, and sometimes even dye patterns into them mimicking tribal symbols. The perks of grey feathers is that when dyed, they are much more colorful than naturally coloured worker/drone feathers.

Brown feathers are another rarity that only Queen Mudokons possess. Brown feathers only reallt appear when Queens reach adulthood, as they are biologically a sign that a Queen is ready to accept Drones. They aren't an invitation however, and the Queen can have brown feathers for a long time before she is personally ready to accept drones. Some grey-feathered Queens in more industrial environments dye their feathers brown to appear more appealing. Some cosmetics companies sell a feather dye to make grey feathers look a natural brown. The dye is incredibly harmful to Mudokon skin, but the obsession with appearance that has been forced on a lot of Mudokons is very real.

A continuation of this post, as there is a fifth sort of Mudokon worker one might see in Mudos. While there is no specific slang term for them, they are simply lumped with other Khanzumers. Khanzumers are consumers. They are the ones who purchase the industrial schlock sold by the Glukkons and Vykkers.
