Description
This is my half of a trade with . She just wanted a couple of our characters interacting, but as usual I decided to turn the project into a tour de force in order to challenge myself. She's been very, VERY patiently waiting for me to get the stuff out of my head and down on paper.Wanna know who's making all that noise...?
Foreground left with the long, thin instrument is my character Chaunn'tne-di.
Behind Chaunn on the mandolin is Khan'nai, her dad (with especial thanks to *Fiji-Fujii for Khan's new design).
Behind those two on the left, playing the sticks and the two long horns are just some random guys.
Center foreground on the harp is ~SporkeyAnonymous 's character Sar'idikk.
Directly behind Sari on the double-drum is her big, tough buddy Kiit'du.
On the tambourine is my scholarly character Bak'udrin-de.
Behind the guys on the maracas is an old friend, ~yen-ta .
Behind Baku, seated with the cowbell is another random guy. Honestly, I needed more cowbell.
On the right with the wrap-around horn is *peanutchan 's matriarch, Tituga.
The flautist behind Tituga is another random lady.
Oh, and the fuzzball at Sari's feet is called Yikyik. It's the Predator equivalent of a housecat, and the scholar belongs to it. Naturally.
Whew! I think that's everyone. I plan to ink this puppy, and then if I survive that endeavor, I will color it.

LOL - Thanks very much. I had to take it one character at a time, and I worked on it over several days. That way my brain won't jam up.

One of them needs a taicho. I can see them loving some big drums, too. Woo!! Nice to see more of these guys from you! Always loved your Predator arts!

Thanks! I was feeling Predator-deprived. It's been quite a while since I gave my monsters some art-luv.
Yes, you're right. Taicho drums would be amazing - but I'll have to consider that for another time. I'd have to completely redo the composition in order to show off that kind of drum to best effect.

I agree. There's more going on in a culture than just planet-hopping and collecting trophies. When my own family gets together, this is the kind of thing that erupts sometimes.

Thanks very much!
We all know that there's more to a culture than planet-hopping for trophies to show off at family get-togethers. When *my* family gets together, this is the kind of thing that typically erupts. I wanted to try to capture that goofy energy with a bunch of Predator friends.

Yeah, I was so obsessed with her when I first joined DA years ago, now I haven't drawn her in a long long time.
part of it was I realized how lame her fanfic story was and I didn't want to shame the Predator name and just stopped trying with her.
