Just a headshot of best-boy Gai. I wanted to push his face shapes beyond what I normally draw. He usually wears a band of leather over his fukt eye, as it was clawed out by a yan'esh when he was younger. The whole ordeal left him with significant trauma and since then he's been a selective mute.

Fun fact: For the asah people, you can tell if they're married by whether they have a piercing in the tip of the left ear. Gender combination does not matter as asah don't discriminate. Left lobe is for coming of age (15-16,) right lobe is for entering their job/calling in society (16-20.) Often they match them in style, but sometimes they express themselves and put something different in each.

Additionally, different colonies or even families, may have specific common designs for ear jewelry. A plain smooth ring is still the most common, and most traditional/conservative choice for most people.
