Iggturant (Male) Portrait - The Grand Bazaar of Ethra VanDalia

I am thrilled to share another new piece from The Grand Bazaar of Ethra VanDalia. This illustration is for Book Two: The Completed Circle. This will be a character portrait accompanying one of the short blurbs at the beginning of a chapter. I shared more about these with the first post focused on these portraits. With most of these, I have an idea regarding their voice and placement in the book, but the fun part is that it is not set in stone and may turn into something very different from what I first planned. I present you with an Iggturant (Male) (name to come later). Last week, I shared the female Iggturant, and as promised, here is one of her males. The Iggturant have a parasitic social structure, and the males spend most of the sexually mature years of their lives nestled into the tentacles of their wife, content as they watch the world go by.

These are the smallest pieces created for the books. There is something charming about a 5 x 5 image, and I have already framed them up. Here is a look at the sketch for the Iggturant (Male) to show where it started.
