#khamaari

art from last night’s headshot stream!  i had a lot of fun drawing some fantastic characters and i’m already looking forward to next time!

Answering for: Khamaari, since one draenei deserves another.

1) Favourite camping/picnic spot? Khamaari absentmindedly tugs at one of her long tendrils, thinking. “I do not often go ‘camping’ as you describe it. I am at a place in my life where I prefer the amenities afforded my by my workshop. Civilization in general. If I had to choose, I would say Stranglethorn Vale.”

2) What are your opinions of the opposing faction?  Of your own? “Fah, this conflict of yours. So small.” Khamaari gestures and a hologram of Azeroth appears in the palm of her hand. “Your Horde and Alliance are really the same side in a war bigger than this world. A war for all worlds. The Legion sees no distinction between Horde and Alliance, so neither do I.” She curls her fingers into a fist over the hologram of the world, which blinks out of existence.

3) Do you have a sweet-tooth, or not?  What satiates it? “I try not to indulge, but I have developed a fondness for these long ribbon candies that your human craftsmen have developed.”

4) Ultimate comfort food? “Grilled zangar-cap, served on a slice of toasted mag’har grain bread. I grew fond of it before the legion corrupted the orcs.”

5) Your super secret crush has asked you out on a date.  Who are they, and where do they take you? “O-ho, a secret crush? Who are they? That is an excellent question.” Khamaari presses a finger tip to her dark lips, pondering the people she surrounds herself with. “Some of the gnomes have had eyes for me, of this I am certain. These small ones are... they like to experiment. Whomever it is, they would do well to take me to New Tinkertown for some authentic gnomish cuisine, rather than the freeze-dried rations we so often make do with here. See the technology, the humming of the machinery, and who knows?”

6) Do you have pets?  How many, and what is your favourite? “Pets? Nooooo, no. I’m afraid I- ah but our definitions of ‘pet’ may be different. I have several mechanical constructs about the workshop which aide me in my work. Perhaps those count?”

7) What place fills you with fear and/or dread? “There was a world, before Draenor, which we did not stay on for long. The rotation was incredibly slow, so night lasted for weeks on end in your reckoning, and the beasts that came out... they warned us to stay within the Genedar, and most of us were smart enough to follow that instruction.” She shudders slightly at the thought of the monstrosities that world held. “We left before sunrise. The sun bakes half the world at a time, due to the exposure.”

8) What was your most embarrassing moment? Khamaari gently puts her palm against her forehead for a moment. “I have had 16,000 of your years of moments. To choose one as my most embarrassing? It cannot be done. Sufficed to say, I have had many experiments explode in my face.”

9) What is the most incongruous/unlikely skill you have? “Some of the gnomish tinkerers I have worked with have expressed bemusement, if not outright surprise, at the fact that I can engrave, etch, and otherwise decorate things. How else does one mark their work though?”

10) You are retiring tomorrow.  Where do you retire to?  What do you do? “Is... is this about my age? I am... well I am no spring sporebat, but I still have much to offer.” Khamaari looks almost offended for a moment before she realizes it is purely a hypothetical. “Ah, you mean... I have misread your intent. Apologies. I do not know what I would do differently though. I am free to do what I desire now, and I spend my time working here, so... this?”
