Melalo bg characters (Patreon)

G: I want to jump into designing the background characters for Chapter3 together with Lins, so I came up with these two guys. Can't say much about the first one yet, but the second one is an 18 years old emigrant from El-Balyama who claims to be able to tell fortunes. He enters this fortune-teller state when being bitten by the rare El-Balyamian desert centipede, his pet (her name is Judrox).
Their toxic poison can cause a lot of damage to the living creatures (usually it kills their prey, but one bite isn't enough for a huge creature like sahash to die from it), this boy is no exception and he suffers from the side effects. Guess he is dying slowly, but the ability to see something that regular sahash can not see is still under question and may be true. Or not.

The second art is a concept on Judrox. She (and the whole kind of hers) is based on the regular centipede and an Eastern noodle dragon, so it's a weird mix but I do like the result of it. Like most of the El-Balyamian insects, these guys are pretty smart, just like horses or dogs, and can be trained if you have patience and skills.
