Title says it all. The Kingdom of Soleanna, under Queen Arly's rule and Vin's military direction, is a country consisting off most of real life Europe's southern coastline. More specifically the real life regions of France, Italy, and Greece. Its host to a bevy of hard footed species known under the animal group of Ungulates, hoofed animals.
While not all the species are actually native to the area, making up a population of recent refugees during the war, they all find themselves quite comfortable with each other not only because of their very simular biology, but their easily mingled cultures. Here we have on display the most common males of the species.
This all isn't to say they perfectly compliment each other, in fact you could find some species being more populate in one portion of the country than you would in others. Deer, pigs, and elephants seem to prefer the most western part of the country, while gazelles, sheep, and bovines seem to prefer the eastern portion.
The most common thing between all the people is their shared diets which almost no other country seems to measure up to, a vast supply of vegetarian delicacies. While some of the species do enjoy the occasional poultry or seafood dish, almost no meal is without some form of fruit or vegetable as a majority portion.
-Design Notes-
Obviously, this is a bunch of big burly men... Not something I'm regularly used to, but proved to actually be quite fun to draw out. It also pegged it in my head that the majority of the largest creatures in the world are indeed herbivores, and in the case of land animals, most commonly a hooved creature. Not to say there aren't small ones as well, but look it up, ungulates do make up a fair portion of the largest mammal species, let alone animals as a whole. Hell, its even been debatable whether whales and other cetaceans would count as ungulates themselves because of small hoof like protrusions on their fins.
Anyways, can you guess which one I considered the most fun? I'll give you a second.....

.....hint, I named him Sinbaaaaahd
As far as the one that went through the most changes? that would be the gazelle in front... it was actually his hair that bothered me. I dunno if it'd be hard to belief the spikey look he has now was actually the sixth hairstyle i tried on him after going through two curly looks, one other swept back look, and then variations of long hair. I finally settled on the speedy spiked look, which more or less looks simular to Harmony, the gazelle character that belongs to
Marik736, hell, could even be her brother.
If you'd like to learn more about Soleanna or the game the setting is in, check out Legends of Mobius to see avalible information about world and story before the game opens up. Queen Arly's profile is even up and ready to view, with a picture sampling the full artwork I'm still working on for her.
Now to learn the funny names I gave them all:
