I've got a nomad! Meet May :3 All I know about her now are these three random facts — her grandma used to be a truck driver responsible for the family's water — she doesn't like questions about her name — she's quite sly

I’ve been excited about finally being happy with Lady of the Shade’s design so here’s a little continuation of this comic as a kind of buffer for her. So like, imagine if a 9 foot tall Cassowary Witch came up on ya.

Thinking on Lady has made me want to modify Mayv’s backstory a little bit though and give her…more? She’s definitely getting some rewriting.

(っಠ‿ಠ)っ I actually rendered something without feeling like it became Oops All Soft Semi-Realism (not that there’s anything wrong with that), I’m so happy with this. I’d forgotten how fun it was to draw with THICC lines. I also futzed with ✨Chromatic Abberarion✨.

Anyway look at Mayv, beautiful alligator woman. (I changed her colors a bit, I like this pallet way more)

Here’s Mayv! Kraw’s adoptive mom. She’s wrestling a Glow Gullet Gator. She kind of owns a mutated gator farm on the side, purely for a love of the creatures (and they’re good as guard dogs)

Here’s a little intro for her ⬇️

She taught him all he knows about being a sea hunter and how to process and use mermaids for their organs and oils. She is a hunter first, an apothecary second and a ‘beast tamer’ third.

She found herself as an escapee when she was younger, commandeering a trawler boat with her two sons and a few other humans aboard. Whatever she was running from, she attempted to lose it by sailing straight across Hellmouth, unknown dangers be damned. A strange storm blew her off course however and in the process she lost both her sons and some of her crew.

The boat ended up beaching in the delta of a swamp that belonged to the “Lady of the Shades”, a mysterious harpy witch that gave Mayv her alligator-like appearance in exchange for safety. The swamp was called “Shades of Acheron”, located on the northeast edge of Hellmouth.

Mayv replaced her sons with Kraw and Titus. she found Kraw hiding within the swamp, his little hollowed out log lair surrounded by half eaten crawfish shells that earned him his name.

She ran their encampment and household with an iron fist but a loving and boisterous nature. It was mostly her training that Kraw deeply detested. More often than not, out on the sea she seemed to blur the lines between treating Kraw and Titus like her children and treating them like militant hunting hounds.
