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.

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)
