Young Thalamus Sketch

Trying to imagine one of the characters of this story I'm working on... young version of Thalamus, a monarch tellurian with a birth defect (no hind-body). Being unable to reproduce, he/she (tellurians are hermaphrodites) is pushed into taking on a military role (note the "eye" between the hemispheres... a mandatory modification for any conscript), the first of the many, many horrors that will scar and twist the character into a "villain" (kinda' loathe to use that term... too black-and-white) later on.
