Non-canon, he's not actually married. But that'd be something he'd say if he was.

There's some story context in the alt text (uncool social practices warning), some idea I had about wedding for the Budugas.

"Of course it's the most beautiful day of my life... I'm killing my husband tonight."

So, for the context, I had a conversation about how a group that rejects the other gender for what's essentially a sexist reason (and an obsession for strength in the case of the Buduga tribe) will still use masculinity and feminity stereotypes and learned gendered roles as references, as tools to measure someone's value, and as means of oppression. 

So the idea that Buduga weddings could still enforce gender stereotypes because to their eyes there always will be one of the people involved in a wedding who is the most masculine/strong one, and they likely have a culture of bullying, seemed interesting to me. But also... since it comes from a society that heavily rejects feminity, the man being seen as lesser would very likely resent that, leading to him either getting in a heavily competitive mindset with his lover (which would be perceived as a good thing in the tribe), or just straight-up attempting murder at some point (which would be very uncool, bro).

Anyway, that's headcanon, fite me.

Yup !

I made his scales less annoying to draw and gave him a crooked nose to fight my sameface syndrome. The horns also became closer to his ig model.

He didn't change ig. I mod but apart from the teeth and haircut he's pretty much the same as without mods.
