DevLog #4: Ardem
🕑 Added 2024-04-24 00:06:33 +0000 UTCThose of you who follow me for a few years already know who are Ardem based on - Ara de Mona, Spider-Vampire-Demon Nun-Nurse, my old OC I haven't used in many months even before committing to OC World. So I decided to re-give her a greater purpose...
Ardem Final Sketch:
I didn't change a lot in Ardem design from Ara de Mona design, though I wanted to add carapace during first sketches, alike to crabs, but decided to stray back to entirely smooth skins and give carapace-thing to a different tribe. What I really did is added more explanations to already existing anatomy I never explain with Ara de Mona: how she breath without nose (because mouth is not for breathing!), what are these smaller eyes, how she makes web, etc. When developing personality of Ardem tribe I kept Ara's personality too - horny and sexually-focused all the way through, the most horniest tribe of all from the start. Combined with insectuous nature, Ardem procreate as much as bees and spiders, with only a single drawback of low fertility rates, which still doesn't stop them from being the biggest of all tribes.
At first I was considering for Feet Affinity to be higher in rank than Hips and Thighs Affinity (because spiders have many legs), but I also incorporated Church of Thighs from Ara's background into Ardem society since it is already part of the world to begin with, thus Hips and Thighs Affinity is at the highest for them (and because spiders have huge butts too); but also, the Empire of Hips and Thighs being the biggest of Four Great Nations means Ardem can have a massive land to populate, which would be a problem for any other smaller nation.
When it comes to genetic groups and their personality/coloration, it is simple:
Ardem De are the original design, they are basic, like Ara de Mona. Ardem Va - based of wasps and some bugs from Starship Troopers, and how bloody violent both are. Ardem Al - albino (to compliment red eyes), originally they would be the bloodthirsty ones (to compliment white skin), but since Va already exist I change their personality to a masochist-like. Ardem Do - based on Giant House Spiders that were roaming around my room at the time I was developing Ardem tribe...
Regarding clothing design, it is a mix of Regular Goth, Cyber Goth, some straps and BDSM gear, with a little bit of Neon bits. Additionally, because the Empire of Hips and Thighs has Roman Empire as one of aesthetics, I try to use Roman sandals as a base design for Ardem footwear since Romans used a lot of strap in shoes.
