Something different both in drawing style and purpose.

One thing I wanted to do is show that all my alien species have multiple cultural assets and aren't just a planet of hats. I picked the ginaga... because they're kinda my go to species (no secret there)but also because being a kinda super tech savvy species make the visible contrast much easier to produce.

Ginaga are still the simple tree dwelling people they've always been just many choose to live in the city for safety reasons given recent events on their home planet.

For the style... just wanted something soft and cute darn it. Blame artists like Skymachine and Donitkitt. I usually attract more to angular styles or more grotesque ones (explains the look of my own work) but sometimes I want to just make things squishy with minimal details and have roundish curves!

Did some experimentation with the colours and even how I did the background. Figured if I was going to do something a little less directly developing out my sci fi I could still use it to figure out how to keep characters from blending into background details.

Enjoy!
