Absolutely dying to know more about So'rek. Literally anything. Why do his scars heal green? What does the paint signify, if anything? How did you decide on a design for his character that biologically made sense for the biome he was born into - any adaptations, difference in physionomy? I'm wildly interested in your au and ocs and all the art you have to offer as I'm trying to flesh out my own ocs (as if 30k words isn't fleshed out enough). Also, please don't think you have to answer all of these, this was just off the top.
As always, such a pleasure to see your yautja on my tl and I'll continue looking forward to more from you!
So'rek, elder of the Darkforest clan
Hi hi! I love when people have curiosity about other ocs since I mostly draw Bhu'ja & Krov mostly, I have noticed people being more in love even w Kherana now but happy to know there are some So’rek fans too hehe thanks for liking my art & my children I hope not to disappoint. Now let’s see with some lore info about this new elder of the clan ft I did a fanart since I got inspo ^^
For his scars I just thought that it’s because of a medical plant he eats that helps in closing really deep wounds in a short time but not from outside but inside, like feeling how a worm is moving inside u. It moves to the open part and it covers it up and then it dies to mix with ur skin, you must have a really really big will to live to take this method to save your life.
The painting I always do it only symbolizes the sacred flowers of their homeworld since it’s a big forest planet. They choose and make their own painting from the flower they have been blessed in their birth so nothing out of ordinary, just ceremony.
Since I thought in creating So’rek I only thought about trees and I always look for wild feline info to kind of do a base inspo, he’s a mix from a jaguar/lion even though he doesn’t look like one. His mother is from forest linage & his father was from desert, he has little spikes from his father’s side but he can’t stand desert environments.
