The World of Kashmir: Humans and Orsi

Description

For the longest time I have been wanting to revisit my massive story concept “Kashmir” that’s loomed in the back of my mind for quite a while.

For as big as the story is I haven’t done many sketches for it and I really wanted to get back to it by hammering out one of the largest elements of it: the dragon-like race of beings known as the “Orsi”. In the Kashmir empire, humans are second-class citizens and have to bend to Orsi citizen’s wills, even in public encounters (as pictured above).

Not complying with this subservience can earn you a swift response from any nearby police or even a lash from that hefty looking tail. You wouldn’t like either.

It's really interesting how you gave the Orsi more moderate builds despite their height. I'm used to seeing alien/reptile races be muscular and hulking. That's not very realistic for a sentient species. This is refreshing because it seems more real. It's like how humans lost their dense muscles for smaller, fine-tuned ones better suited to tool use when we evolved. Any chimp is stronger than a person, but a cost as it takes them years to master even simple tasks requiring dexterity.
