Northern Gapuri speed paint

Description

Had a chance to get some painting in tonight, so I did a quick speed paint of a Gapuri. A Northern one to be specific, they are darker in complexion than their Eastern relatives.

The flora is interesting up north as well, dark trunks of plants are offset by their bright orange seed pods.

[edit] Some info on age and a bit about Gapuri personal pronouns...

This guy is about 50, and adult in their prime (in Human years jeh'd be about 30).

Also a bit of explanation on "jeh'd"...Since the Gapuri do not have two separate genders they do not have "he" and "she" when referring to individuals, and when we speak about them we do not use gender specific titles like that. They have a word that sounds to the human ear like "Jeh." Jeh is what they use the way we use "he" or "she." "She went to the store" is "Jeh went to the store." I used "jeh" in conjunction with "would" above, "jeh'd" isn't used in the Gapuri's language, as "would" is not a word. I simply combined it with an english word.
He/she = Jeh
Him/her = Jyeher (sounds like jayer with a soft "j" sound)

"A cool breeze brushed past the thick stumps of the dark teal Skathan trees, causing the rusty ferm like plants growing on them to rustle quietly. The orange seed pods hanging off the dark branches gave the temperate forest a warm glow, despite the chilly breeze blowing in off the ocean. Yaluup turned jyeher head to South and took a breath in, closing jyeher eyes jeh smelled the salt on the wind. Jeh opened jyeher eyes, picked up jyeher pack and swung back up into the trees."
