Oh my LORD, I worked for-bloody-ever on this one!
I know this is extremely socially incorrect. Not only do Neimoidians give birth to multiple young, but they don't even raise them until they're seven, and out of the grub hatcheries...but I've been wanting to do something like for a couple of weeks. I was inspired by a picture I found on Google of a Sullustan mother and baby, and I knew I would have to do a Neimoidian version. Besides, mother and child is such a beautiful, precious, even holy image...although I don't know how safe a bet it is to wear a hat with dangly bits like that around a baby.
I'm enjoying this new colouring style; I'll still probably cell-shade every now and then; however, I like that I can sort of add "texture" with this. I've also started playing with overlays...and certainly paying more attention to backgrounds.
Things may be done differently in Neimoidian culture...but don't ever say that a Neimoidian mother doesn't love her children. I WANT A NEIMOIDIAN BABY!!! (you listening Senator Dod???)

Very moving imagery, motherhood is very beautiful I so love seeing this image! Gorgeous details and rich color, very sweet! The texture look to your coloring gives extra depth to this
I'd like seeing a more gentler take on the Neimoidians, I think they have a happier life if they got a childhood free from struggle and violence.
I think the issue with the grub hatcheries (assuming that's what you're referring to) is that they seem so outrageous in terms of other species. When you get down to it, I actually think they've got a good system going: there'll never be overpopulation, there's a steady stream of workers for menial labour, and those who are leading are truly the most clever and resourceful (for the most part *coughDaultayDofinecoughcough*)
They still are very neat though, no way other beings would evolve like to humans.
