Description

Meet Odyss and Chia from my new line for D Pod, Matriline D25.


D26 Chia, is 40 years old and this is her son and only child, D24 Odyss, who is 23 years old.
When Odyss was young, he was very sick for the first few years of his life. If it wasn't for Chia's determination to protect him, he would have died. Chia made sure he ate as much as he could to keep his body strong, even sacrificing food for herself so he could have more. She saved his life and eventually Odyss overcame his illness, but his mother was still overprotective with him and kept over feeding him. Eventually Odyss grew fat and lazy and expected his mother to hunt for him even as a grown adult, which she did. Odyss would often rest at the surface while the pod were hunting, causing the top of his dorsal to lean.
While  Odysss grew fatter, Chia got thinner. Her very thin and underweight body is alarming to researchers, but she seems to be doing fine.
__________________________________________________

This pair live in a matriline with Chia's own Mother, Matriarch D25 Dokoon who is 60 years old, Dokoon's other daughter, D34 Coorah who is 28 years old, and Coorah's daughter, D36 Nesbit, who is 12 years old.
Aaaand, once the rest of this matriline is drawn and introduced, that might be D Pod completed! May have gone a little overboard with so many characters, but I really wanted a complete pod!

Oh dear. I feel sorry for her. How does Dokoon condone how Chia treats Odyss?

Chia secretly loves it. She might complain about it some times, but she wouldn't have it any other way : P She's been looking after him for so long, it gives her purpose.

Dokoon doesn't approve so much. But she loves her daughter and grandchild, it causes some tension. She wants Odyss to be a more valuable member of the pod, particularly as they have been struggling the last few years and she fears Chia is not looking after herself.

That would be any matriarchs concern. With the way I plan on having Kalina, she would put a stop to it. Although that isn't to say she isn't harsh about it either. Which is why Petrel and Chickadee still baby their calves, Petrel would do it to the latter as well, even though Chickadee is at reproductive age and has her own calf.

This is a lovely piece, I really like your shading and color choices. Man, I can't get over that chubby boy...I love their little backstory! Resident orcas are already Momma's boys, but Odyss takes it to the extreme and Chia is totally cool with it.

hehe, I've had the idea for a while to make a fatty whale. I  don't think anyone has a chubby character
Thanks!
