You are invited to Nala and Shoori's Child Ceremony!

I'm dropping the first update of my webseries on May 24th. It's been a super long time coming, please look forward to it!

Here are the official colors of Nala and Shoori.

Yes, Shoori's little tuft of hair in front does look like little bananas, but people don't really tease them for that because they don't have bananas in their world! Instead, they say Shoori has very distinct little "antennae". Additional notes are that Nala's color scheme is based off of deep sea octopus. Deep sea octopus tend to be slightly translucent and have red pigment in their skin, because red as a color is not visible deep underwater. These hunters are ready to blend into the shadows! Nala looks kinda orange on the surface, but they are actually a pale red (please look at the cirrotheuthis octopus as an example). Nala's dog tentacle hairs turn translucent at the ends, and they have bioluminescent trails. Yes, one of Shoori's housemates is their pactmate!

And lastly, yes I once considered a very different design for Taba, but back then Taba also had a very different personality in my head. At one point I actually considered starting the series right at adulthood, and skipping the prequel building episodes! But I'm glad that we are building Taba's childhood together, and it's becoming way more interesting and colorful as a result.
