Description
The third of the series! Hurrah! This was my least favorite for a lot of reasons, but I still quite enjoyed working on it! This was definitely the easiest to complete, for certain, even though the initial perspective stuff was a pain since I did it traditionally. But hey, it works!

Kurri Buildings:
As mentioned previously, the kurri buildings are actually small space vessels that are lodged into the earth and re-purposed as working facilities. The ships are technically still functional, and often maintained as such, but they are kept in a shut-off or idle state for years, only moving when the rozenich they are studying decide to break down and transfer somewhere else. Unlike the rozenich structures, kurri architecture is more sleek, angular, and far, far cleaner with less organic feel to them. They are often kept pristine and bright, almost to the point of being in that uncanny hospital/lab sort of organized emptiness and purity. The buildings usually have multiple floors depending on size, with a minimum of two, and each floor has its designated purpose. There are floors and rooms for sleeping, resting, cleanliness, eating, etc.
Because kurri are so focused on their studies, most of their floors are dedicated to collecting their research or to have easy access to information. Technology is a big part of kurri society, and so it is extremely common to see computer systems and hand-held screens about. Charging stations for the portable hand-helds are always located directly in the first room for those kurri who go in and out, and a computer is usually nearby for looking up or dumping data. Kurri don't need much, so a few comfortable sitting places are all they need.
Books are not obsolete for kurri, however. Their purpose can vary: some information may be kept "out of the cloud" due to security reasons, some books may hold physical samples of a textile nature, many texts may just be so old they haven't been transferred yet, or some kurri just rather have something more tangible to do their studies. Young kurri are always taught via books rather than the technological screens or tablets until they move up, so it's totally possible for kurri to just prefer books over digital text. Either way, there are always bookshelves with books found on certain floors of a lot of buildings, though they are not available everywhere as books are not extroardinarily abundant, at least not in the ships brought down to the rozenich planet.
Kurri Rankings:
The kurri are a very organized race, and as such different kurri are given different jobs. Kurri are "assigned" based upon their skillsets, and while there can be some wiggle room for personal choices, that's not super common (there are little protests, at any rate). Some kurri may perform duties that exclusively keep them within buildings, so they very rarely go out and mingle with the outside world much (as in, they do not explore past the general area. They can still go outside!). Others, on the other hand, may primarily spend their days observing rozenich, fauna, or flora, and may only enter kurri buildings to sleep or recharge.
The color of the kurri uniforms indicate their rank or job. Cooler or more muted colors reflect kurri that stay within the buildings more often than not. Warmer, brighter colors reflect kurri that spend most of their time outside. Pink robes, specifically, indicate a kurri is new to the job, an apprentice: basically, someone who is still learning the ropes. Purple robes are reserved for younger kurri or children. Red robes are strictly for those in charge or in upper ranks.
It should also be noted, rozenich are rarely, if ever allowed inside the kurri buildings. While their security is not extremely high, rozenich typically know not to go inside unless they want to be yelled at. Linda is one of few rozenich (along with Harlie) who can enter kurri buildings without authorization. But sometimes... she probably shouldn't. For that matter, neither should Kacey... Oops.
Rozenich and Kurri are a collaborated species between myself and StupidShepherd !

I like how the little purple Kurri is just like “I didn’t do it.”

Haha, what a great scene! World-building and characterization fun all in one.
"Linda! What are you--Linda... You two are tracking mud everywhere!"
"What?"
"Just look at your feet!"
"I--Oh darn... I did it again."

They really oughtta just keep a hose lying around for these occasions. Or maybe just a welcome mat to scrape your feet on...

THE ULTIMATE FEAR. It's like the rozenich equivalent of spraying a cat with a water bottle!

These rozenich illustrations have all been so fun and full of life! Contrast is as important in worldbuilding as it is in writing, and you really see it between the kurri and rozies (I'mma start calling them this now hhhgh). I can't help but wonder how the two species got along, when the kurri first arrived... hahaha... hopefully they had a few mop buckets on hand, ah!
Love the info bits, by the way, it's a neat way to share info. I can't wait to see what comes next!

I've really enjoyed them! I like trying to pack as much worldbuilding into a fun illustration as I can. It's something I barely get to do!
And I know that people are really "meh" on reading infodumps, but if you got a picture to go along with it... it helps I think!

It's such a neat one-two punch, to show an idea/world through the picture while also including juicy info in the description. It's energy efficient, and something I may try to do myself once I get my art groove back. A very inspiring series of pics, I hope to see you do more someday!

Color coded ranking system? That is cool, makes me think what happens to the odd soul that is born colorblind? I can almost see that kind of as part of their language and colloquialisms:
"Spoken like a true pink!"
"And who dyed her tail permanently red?"
Their structures are mobile, do they penetrate the ground or rest on top of it? Just thinking as an engineer, prep work on a landing area / How much of a facility is devoted to "engineering spaces" The engine might not be the most glamorous bit of a car, but it is fairly important. Wandering off the deep end as an engineer, I'd bet on cold fusion power. Primary fuel being hydrogen as it is ridiculously common in the universe. Thermovoltaics (as opposed to photovoltaics) to generate electricity without the need to store a ton of water in each ship. Although, a closed system might be rigged to reuse the steam back to water... (That was by biggest disillusionment in nuclear power... Energy from split atoms! To boil the tea kettle to spin the pinwheel that makes electricity... really? =Oo
Books are great, they are difficult to break, even after repeated droppings, data corruption is really difficult, and they consume zero power when in use! Instant-on technology, and they can be used to press flowers and leaves for preservation as well, excellent technology!
That is a serious trail of mud those two have brought in, and it isn't even raining outside! =^^=

I wonder, is there a Star Trek equivalent here? The good old red shirt? I'd hate to be assigned that color...
They penetrate the ground, for sure! Some can also be attached onto cliffsides or other uneven structures. We haven't fully concepted them yet (Pyro is doing a lot of that work, since they are sorta the kurri-person, while I work with the rozenich more!) But this does peek my curiosities on how their power systems would work for sure... HMMM.
Ha! Now this is true. The only way to really break a book is to go out of your way to tear it up, burn it, or let it get soaked. And even then, books can still survive a good soaking. Unlike electronics...

Awww they made a mess that's adorable!!!
Btw it looks really cool! A little less gorgeous than the previous ones but that's not saying much considering the other two were almost masterpieces!

Titan, but the character in the movie had kind of the same head face as the four legers but walk on 2 long kangaroo size I believe. It's a great movie to watch.

I couldn't find any characters specifically called "Titan" and the other two aliens (the one with the weird legs) looks nothing like these Kurri XD So I can't agree with you, but that is funny!
