Some Mudrysi drone clothing/ceremonial stuff I was working on a couple months back before I changed up their designs ‘cause the stuff I’ve drawn before isn’t nearly big and over-the-top enough. Most of these would probably still hold up with some tweaking to adjust to the new body type I’m drawing them with

aaaaand then some redesign notes for pre-existing Dove Reki boys ft. some general notes on drone anatomy. I mostly wanted to pin down Arevik but I accidentally scratched out some good designs for some of the active drones too. Translating their old designs into this new shape is surprisingly tricky especially since a lot of my old drawings don’t have a whole lot of variation like they do now so I’m just kinda fumbling blindly trying to pin down their looks lmao

Moooore refs. I have a lot of worldbuilding I’ve done for Marek’s clan/home village/tribal branch that I’m finally polishing up and putting together to slap On Line

The ref is pretty self-explanatory really! PLEASE fullview this to get all the detail lol it’s a monster image. Also, their names definitely do have meanings; I’m not sticking to any one (constructed) language in particular but I’m definitely doing a lot of word-borrowing and spelling-corrupting from eastern European/slavic languages, in line with what I’ve always been basing their visual language around too.

zet-[name] refers to their mother; ot [name] refers to their village of origin, and ve Dove Reki refers to where they now live.  I really love long names and complex naming systems that aren't just a simple first name/surname-passed-down system

That mudokon sheet I did the other day was super fun so I decided I actually did want to do one for Marek’s family and it ended up taking me... all day because oh my god there’s so many of them and I had to keep track of who was who

The village where they live is not far from the banks of a river and is called Dove Reki (”dove” pronounced like “doe” as in female deer) The thing encircling them in the top version is their village’s (and possibly others who follow the same branch of religion’s) patron deity, Perrun, typically depicted like here as an entity cloaked in (or made of) stormclouds and lightning bolts

I’m not even going to try to name all of them in order but I did conveniently write everyone’s names on the actual image this time so I can just dump the info about them all here

Neveniy, Radomir, Dalimil, Lazarik: the village’s active drones, he/him.The only two I’ve really developed are Radomir, who is Senka/Marek’s other parent, and Neveniy, who isn’t biologically related to Marek but is everyone’s favourite weird gay uncle

Nadira: the village’s queen, she/her. Very chatty and likes to know what’s going on at all times so she’s constantly having tea with various villagers. Quite literally almost everyone’s mom

Senka (Marek), Arevik, Petriy, Malik, Adaliy, Tarik, Nadiy, Danika: the young drones and queens of the village, they/them. Marek considers these guys to be their siblings and they share a communal living space a la student university halls except in big caves underground. Marek is the oldest of them and is therefore expected to take the most responsibility for taking care of the younger ones (which they actually don’t mind/do enjoy)

Bonus few workers (all they/them) who aren’t necessarily family but are still pretty big figures in Marek’s life: Kamek, the village’s shaman; Valek, one of the stable hands Marek is friends with; and Jovanek, an archer who helps the older kids sneak bows out of storage when they decide they want to run off into the forest and shoot at sticks and rocks for a while
