SketchPage: Pha'or

I wanted to finalize my Pha'or concept. The first sketch is here sharkattackhere.deviantart.com…

I removed the mane but kept the beard, changed the skin flap above the eyes for bony protusions, elongated the nose, made the bony protusions bigger and decided the colours. And the foal became fluffier too.
I'm pretty happy about it now, it doesn't look as weird as it used to be.

I also decided on where they live in the world of Ciness. Pha'ors are endemic to a region called the Hive. It is an area filled with steep cliffs, deep canyons, multiple networks of caves and alcoves, nested between a mountain range and a desert. But most of the canyons are nearly closed at the top, leaving the bottom pretty dark. The highest reaches of the network is often covered in a type of spreading vegetation, which cover much of the ground and either follow the canyon's walls or simply hangs deep down. There is also a bunch of fungus-like trees, that hang on the cliffs, and other kind of fungus-like plants that line the caves' walls. The area got its name due to its likeness to a hive, with its alcoves and all the nooks and crannies.
The Pha'ors aren't the area's only animals that developed eyeless thermal vision, most of the fauna is either blind, eyeless or, when the animal's territory cover higher and brighter areas, small low-performing eyes. Silions are an example of the later, as they lives mostly on the top reaches of the canyons.

I have another sketchpage laying around, which update the Silion's design. I'll finish it soon.
