While I’m still rainword brained I decided to finally make some concept doodles for my ancients hcs! These guys are all just random designs I made up on the spot but I do quite like them, so who knows maybe I’ll make them proper ocs at some point

#keese draws #rain world #rain world ancients #I’m not going to go too into my hcs as they’re still not super set in stone #but I will share a few tidbits #I was going for mostly avian vibes but I also slapped in a couple of other things as is the rain world style to do #in my minds eye they evolved from a very large species of bird that lived in the mountains #well not exactly bird as they also have several mamaliam traits but yknow bird like #over time they became more land focused as they began to live more communally to raise their young since their young took a lot of time #to raise and the cold climates made it unsafe to leave young alone for very long #they have thick coats of feathery fur that is incredibly dense #they also naturally build a lot of fat #now as the ancients began to expand across their world more and more their thick coats actually presented a lot of issues #so many were often forced to shave down most of their coats #at some point it became something of a custom to take those old shavings and weave them into head accessories #which is what the locks they have are #this is typically done by a family member but can also be done by others or yourself #especially as further decorating these locks became more common seeking professionals for the job became more common
