"Try me" (2023-4)

Last OC painting of last year, and first into this one ^^ I have this small tradition, of making one last of them as a year closes.

This one was a coloring of a doodle I'd had laying around for literally months, and I ended up quite happy with it.

i noticed that (highmountain) tauren sell cheese and milk and people like to joke that it's the milk they themselves produce, which seems unlikely!

so i did some research on milkable animals and found that while all mammals produce milk, you really want ruminants like cows, sheep, and deer

the plains of mulgore are lacking in cows and sheep but have plenty of gazelles. not the best option for milk probably but you gotta use what's around you. kodo beasts are lizards so they probably don't have milk but also i feel like kodo beasts do have milk

highmountain is filled to the brim with moose and the highmountain tauren have domesticated these beasts. there's also cows in the neighboring stormheim but the moose is where it's at

i don't know enough about northrend or the taunka to know where they'd get their milk, but northrend does have plenty of ruminants like elk, rams, and these weird shoveltusk. mammoths are non-ruminant but they seem milkable to me

yaungol just use yak.

i think that's all the tauren types and where they most likely get their milk from!! of course there's always the possibility they produce their own tauren milk, it just doesn't make sense to subject yourself to the cycle of childbirth and milking that frequently as a sapient species
