Unfinished stuff of (possibly royal?) guard in a decorative armor. May come back to it one day.

In many cultures Ashorian motifs of marine creatures are present in all sorts of arts. This particular style of decorative armor has been designed by a renowed Ashore blacksmith, created to be worn specifically by human guards.

A lot of details regarding this small bit is still stuck in my rather chaotic notes, waiting to be put together eventually.

In the early morning, when fog is as white as snow, you may see this figure walking along the shore.

Small fish samurai sketch based on the amazing frontal crest from the collection of Ann and Gabriel Barbier-Mueller. Saw this tweet went "Oh my god, it was made for me" and ran with it.

Kula!

A popular domesticated animal of slomen.

Kula are adapted for grassy areas with lots of small prey. In the wild, they either jump after flying or jumping prey or wait at burrows before smashing their prey with their hooves. If the smash isn't enough they hold it to their beak and finish it. Some species are more specialized to wait while others to jump. The domesticated Kula is speculated to be one of the more energetic hunters, mostly interested in 'insects'.

In ancient times wild Kula were attracted to sloman settlements as they would also attract prey with the slomans' food and light. The slomen would soon learn that Kula were not pests since the wild animals were yet to be spoiled by premium meat cuts and preferred fresh moving meat that the slomen didn't want around.

In current times many cultures keep these animals as pest control on farms and in larger houses. They can be commonly seen in underground rooms that serve as food storage but for a healthy mental state, they need time on the sun.

While in the wild they are usually solitary or in small groups, Kula have a complex body language that they use to express their mood and/or needs. This can be very cute and funny, helping them become as loved as they are. Many owners will grow to care deeply for their Kula but some cultures recognize them directly as pets. In the high-ranking societies of these cultures, pet Kula get even rounder. Often a certain trait is popular in a culture, resulting in localised breeds with different shapes and colors.

Some little goober possibilities - not entirely canon

In a few places, Kula are also part of a religion and have their own shrines.

Garte found this cheap reproduction leaning against the Whirling's trash container, therefore it belongs to Whirling.

Henryk the Sturgeon Knight Character I made a while ago that started story about fish knight I'm working on (temporarily called "Ashore Project" till I figure out a better name). Will probably do some smalled tweaks to his armor at some point, but I love him very much.

I dunno man, I just like these neurodivergent queer beings and also drawing birds. Plus pigeons and bearded vultures are my favourite birds.

Totally unrelated bird facts: • Pigeons can read!... Sorta. They can recognize clusters of letters called words and apparently also distinguish properly spelled words from gibberish, after proper trainin of course. While not reading in our understanding, it's definitely some great pattern recognition in work. They're smart cute guys; • Bearded vultures' red feathers are actually white! They stain their feathers by bathing in red soils rich in iron. Their eyes are yellow with deep red screla, which along with false belief that they stole children and sheep, led to them sometimes being called "devil's bird"; • Both pigeons and bearded vultures are monogamous, mating for life
