A beautiful commission from my love  ChelfieNoodles ! He knocks me on my ass with his watercolors every time I swear. I've been commissioning him for a series of paintings featuring Thurians, a species I developed based off of the domestic betta, or Siamese fighting fish. Guess what my favorite pet is : p

This is Trieu, the Youthful member of a betta boy idol group. He's based off a red dalmation veiltail male. Though he plays the part of a naive young boy as his public image, he's actually the oldest member of the group. He likes old man hobbies like gambling, drinking sake, and playing mahjong. He's a veteran who served in the Thurian equivalent of the Green Berets, and by comparison he finds being an idol to be easy living. He's gruff and aloof with his fellow group members but finds himself in the role of father figure to some.
