"subverting stereotypes by making a vampire/werewolf couple where the vampire is butch and the werewolf is femme!" did you still make the savage animal person the black one again
hate my shitty medieval lord. last st crispins day instead of a feast he had a potluck. my fucking men at arms and i had to bring a tupperware full of roast boar to his castle. god i hate him.
These three heads are all part of Onozar The Transcendent. Each head has slightly different red patterns (that I will draw.. i only really worked on the middle one so far) and different horns. In general a new head begins to sprout every two or three hundred years but it takes decades (if not centuries) until the lower jaws open up and a head emerges fully grown. This one, given his age and good health, likely has about fifteen heads which can speak, and a few more still cooking.
The very large settlement - a whole city - has been great for the wyrm under it. The massive concentration of life draws crawling beasts to the city like a honey trap, where they are then consumed by the wyrm. Therefore it has an active interest in keeping the town safe and prosperous. The leftmost head here is the one which is the kindest and supposedly the wisest, and it provides the king with live updates about the crawling beast situation - how many have been killed, how many slipped away, which quarters of the city seem to draw the most attention from the crawlers etc.
In these parts, they say, if you are lucky when wandering the wastes between city and town, you may encounter a truly exemplary creature. Its skin, like that of the rhinoceros, plates its body in geometric folds; its feet are like four enormous sand-dollars, pleasing to the eye and rapid in their movement. Its snout is broad with the same placid strength as a great ox and its breath is heavy and warm as the same, but its eyes flash so like those of a lion at night that no traveler could believe it truly tame for long. The name of this beast? Toyota Corolla.
[WIP] Meeting the three overground heads of the Onozar Wyrm
Unfortunately this was a catastrophic lineart on sketch layer incident (I made the bg the same colour as the sketch so u can't tell), so it'll be a massive hassle to finish but whatever it's doable.
I will do their faces properly to match the other drawing of this wyrm I've done (the green and red one). The underground heads are the ones with the heavy digging limbs and jaws.
The wyrm of Onozar village is one of the more well-known of its kind. Although this is all one monster, with an unknown number of heads, each head (consisting of the humanoid head & torso at the end of each neck) does act slightly different. The wyrm seems to favour certain heads to express certain emotions - there's a head for arguments with people, one for polite conversation, etc. Since this is such a gigantic creature, it may be that the typecasting of each head is an effort to meet humans at their level, like a person wearing finger puppets with exaggerated emotions in front of children who see each puppet as an individual thing who is always happy or sad. I'm so tired and I hope I'm getting this across properly lol you get me. you get me
The settlement was named after the wyrm, who was there first. it's one of the more built up areas in this world and might even qualify as a city, able to grow larger than other settlements due to the shield against crawling beasts provided by the wyrm. It expresses itself aboveground using three heads consistently, though as many as seven have been spotted in the city at once, on rare occasions. One of the consistent heads is an advisor to the king.
