I apologize first off for the somewhat sketchy nature of this scan. HOWEVER, considering I had to scan it in three peices and put them together (because I drew it on large on newsprint) I think it turned out great. Unfortunately, the scan ate a LOT of the details. :/ I'm going to see if I can hunt down a bigger scanner and try to get a better version.

No matter what ANYONE says, this IS a final deviation. I stick to that, dangit. It's finished and pretty!

I also must note that this style was infuriatingly hard to grasp at first. I tried drawing it in my usual style, but the character refused to come out properly. It was then that I figured these particular characters demanded a more artful, and difficult, style before they would fully reveal themselves to me. And Wah-la! It worked!

For those curious, this is a creation of a friend of mine. He had a dream about them, and developed it from there. The Uhuli people were originally human, but the Uhuli Tree transformed them with its Uhuli-Ba'al Occulus--the giant eye located near the upper reaches of its enormous trunk. Once they are changed, they are given Uhuli names, which always end in -Kun.

The people were transformed to serve in its mighty army, lead by the Raccoon Uhuli, Meta-Kun. Unlike the others, Meta-Kun was a reverse Uhuli, with a raccoon base and given human qualities.

In the original dream, there was Rei-Kun and another (who's name I was never told, more I think about it), who somehow disobeyed the Uhuli Tree and began a war against Meta-Kun.

ANYWAY! This character here was an addition to the story after S-san (the creator) woke up and started to expand it.

I give you Uhuli Li-Kun.

Hopefully I can get Rei-Kun and Meta-Kun drawn soon. ^^ These people are FUN to draw. Heck, maybe I'll even draw the Uhuli Tree too, if I have the time.
