Haven't uploaded much of anything as of late due to trying to grind out like, four or five different things, so in the meantime, have some happy flapdons. These are just some concept sketches of how a female Homoptenaus might interact with their flaplings. I guess I'm a bit biased when I draw Homopteranids (probably what I'll call them from now on) as I typically only draw males. So This time around it's ladies (and kids) night!

Clockwise, we have a new mother showing off her newborn to her friends, a female sleeping in a modern nest bed with her newborn, a mother plying "airplane" with her older flapling, and a newborn flapling clinging to its mother.

Unlike humans, flaplings are born well developed and are capable of flying mearly hours after being born. They are much smaller in comparison to mammals, generally no bigger than they would be had they hatched from eggs. They are typically born singilarly, with tins being extreamly rare and larger broods being almost non exisitant. Young cling to their mothers for the first few months of their lives, similar to that of bats or apes. Newborns will suckle from specilized salivary glands from the mother which deliver a calcium rich liquid very similar to that of milk or crop milk. This is what causes the jowels on the females during the nursing period. The young are usually weened after two months. Flaplings grow and mature quickly compared to that of humans, and are usually mature by six years of age, at which point females can become laiden again. In todays modern Homopteranid sociaty, couples have considerably fewer childern than they did in the past, typically less than three in a lifetime. Medication is avalible to couples who are ready to no longer have childern, supressing the breeding cycle long enough to skip it altogether.

With Homopteranids, the game "airplane" does far more than entertain. It is vital to help young flaplings develope their wings and balance while also strengthening parental bonds. Because Homopteranids only have one offspring at a time (as opposed to humans generally having multiple children of varying ages at a time) parental bonds between them are extremely strong.
