Man After Man fan characters

I know it's kind of strange to have Man After Man fan characters, but these 3 just kind of popped into my mind & I couldn't get them out until I drew them. Aruka is a Hiver, specifically a Bearer variant (which means she has to look after another creature called a Seeker, and in return the Seeker guides her to water). Monopoino is Aruka's Seeker, and they are almost never separated. Aruka and Monopoino used to belong to a Hive (as you might've guessed, Hivers live in eusocial communities like bees or mole rats) but Aruka escaped because she couldn't take it anymore. Zuto is a Desert Runner, which is much more solitary of a creature than a Hiver or Seeker, but they do sometimes seek shelter and company in Hives. So, Zuto and Aruka were semi-familiar with each other, but not enough for Aruka to be comfortable letting him near Monopoino initially. Through their time alone in the desert, they form a very strong bond!
...
Yeah, there was no way out of tagging this as mature content since well, obviously none of the characters wear anything since they're wild posthumans with no concept of clothes, but I figured it'd be particularly important since Aruka's chest is exposed.

Man After Man was written by Dougal Dixon, and the posthuman species featured are his creations as well.

This was all kind of a setup to a really silly joke, LOL!

Aruka and Zuto's first meeting! It didn't go too well.

a personal reference of the trio. Zuto appears less scruffy & with different eyes because his design wasn't finalized yet.

the trio's initial designs! Aruka isn't much different & Monopoino is pretty much unchanged, but Zuto looks completely different because I was unsatisfied with his initial look...
