Description
I needed to draw something fun and personal, it's been an extremely long, stressful week. Been spending 10+ hours on campus every day, and it's only week one... I have a feeling I got in a bit over my head, but we'll see. Either way, I'm kinda stressed at the moment.I haven't drawn Masozi in a while, especially with his updated look. Yes, his markings did change: they now look like I always intended them to. He's a reticulated boa constrictor naga (and an extremely large one at that) so his markings should follow suit (none of my nagas are sparkle snakes, all of their skin patterns are based on real ones).
I don't really have much of an explanation for this one honestly, other than the fact that I wanted to draw a happy Masozi to cheer me up. Most Scribesian nagas are incredibly vicious, relentless hunters, and Masozi is the one and only canon exception. He suffered massive head trauma when he was young, which essentially nullified his predatory instincts. He is under the impression that he's human, and doesn't have a vicious bone left in his body. In fact, he's the village babysitter. A 200 ft long snake monster that rears up to be 45 ft tall... babysitter xD

Omg. That sounds so cute. But he is a great guardian too right?

Oh absolutely ^^ he's not at all fond of other nagas and large predators, so he'll protect the kids if the situation calls for it. Even though he doesn't have any hunting instinct, he's still a pretty tough snake!

Masozi is so impressive to see and his snake body is very impressive work from you.

I was referencing a picture of an actual reticulated boa while I drew, so that helped a lot to get things right glad you like it!

I'm sure he'd appreciate the confidence >w< adults are sometimes less than fond of having their children looked after by a gigantic boa constrictor, but the kids themselves adore him~

I'm betting the adults would be just fine with having him around if they saw him fend off another naga. That's one sure way to get folks on your side when you're giant ... defend them from other giants!
I can just imagine it though. "Kids, do you want to go to the park?"
"NO, let's go visit Masozi again! "

Haha, I could see that happening, and Masozi would be all too happy to have the company too He does grow on the adults eventually, but newcomers have a lot of trouble trusting him considering the behavior of other Scribesian Nagas.

Well, I suppose that fear should be encouraged at least a little. Because you don't want someone leaving and thinking "I can trust nagas because of the one exception to the rule". D:
In the meantime, 'Sozi can win them over with friendliness and hugs. XD

Thanks!!
Sparkle snakes indeed xD I don't have anything against them, but I like snakes too much to mess with the beautiful designs nature provides.
