Scorpius (Patreon)

work on your posture asshole

bluuurgh one of the reasons ive been dragging my feet on fleshing out rangale and the deer cult is because I have to do a bunch of character and environment design and worldbuilding, which takes time (which i unfortunately don’t have in much supply these days). BUT I’m still gonna do it, even if it takes a while. Here’s some quick concept art for Councilman Scorpius, a high-ranking elder within Rangale. Unlike Lune and Victoria (who are whitetail deer), Scorpius is an elk, so he looms over many of his deer community. He is a grave, humorless old stag, with very rigid expectations for his flock. Scorpius is ruthlessly intelligent and prone to cruelty, but curiously enough, is never outright mean or angry. He’s simply too old and sure of his rank and authority to feel the need to stoop to yelling or belittling. His people view him as a wise, stern father figure- not warm or kindly, but fair, never ordering punishments that aren’t entirely deserved.
