Checking back in with Mint and Kay, everything is going well! Kay has found that Mint quite likes to eat fish.

The addition of a fishing rod bypasses the annoying and strenuous process of hunting them down with claws and teeth, and in the end keeps Mint quite well fed.

This has the added benefit of avoiding the emotionally complicated situation of Mint hunting humans, whom might also turn out to have been friends, not to mention Kay being witness to said humans being eaten and all the ramifications there-in.

Does it still qualify as vore if only fish get eaten?

I'm really loving your style, your linework and your characters.

I am severely IN LOVE with the naga design and how it stretches and writhes

I would like to draw well to make fan arts of this universe, because I imagined them working as a team to hunt or Kay teaching "cooking" to Mint, and how certain fruits, herbs and roots help For her health and can help scare away possible parasites,

Damm, how I want to explore this universe

I really appreciate it!

So you seem so invested I'll give you The Lore Dump.

So Mint and Kay are currently in The Jungle, a large untamed area full of monsters, ruins and generally big things that like to eat humans.

This is the realm of the Naga Goddess Echylos. She lives in a temple deep in the jungle where she consumes a constant supply of willing (and less-willing) humans. She has powers, such as teleporting prey to her, and using her pheromones to make them want to be consumed.

Mint is one of many daughters of Echylos and lived in this temple as well, before eventually deciding she'd rather be further away from her mother. This is also why Mint tells Kay "Human's Love being eaten by nagas." As far as she knows that's true, since she hasn't encountered any humans stupid enough to go camping in the jungle full of monsters that eat humans.

Now, Kay is from the Human City, which for sake of options is a mostly modern, but slightly scifi, city that contains all manner of things, both human and human-like (OCs).

Characters like Fuchsia are also in this city and to tie it all together, everyone with the Vore ability (Extreme stretchiness and so forth) had that power granted by their worship of the naga goddess. Generally that's a good deal, except that followers of Echylos must offer themselves willingly to the goddess if ever called on. Having that power puts a tether on them where they can be summoned (and eaten) at any time. They avoid this fate by marking their prey as offerings, to be sent to her.

As far as plans for Mint and Kay, once their relationship has grown a bit, and I get bored of the jungle, they'll head back to the human city. They'll move in together and Mint can learn about human cultural norms and make new friends!

Kay might even decide she's fine with Mint eating certain humans. >:)

I adore an awesome lore dump like this and actually giving an explanation on how they are able to perform the act of vore.

And here I was struggling on tying my stories together...

Like Kimmgãmms says, your style is so amazing and the background design extraordinary.

Not all story's have to connect, and not all things have to be explained. I made that choice on the basis it would be simpler to manage one world rather than multiple and the idea of characters meeting tickled me.

Connecting Mint and Echylos was an easy one since it lent to explaining Mint's logic. Explaining that further meant considering logistically how Echylos keeps getting supplied with prey while being isolated from any infrastructure. So magic and a cult worship.

These are all choices built on each other for the benefit of something I wanted to happen: Mint has eaten humans and never questioned that they might be more than funny, lust-soaked food.

This turns her from a uncaring predator, into a mislead and confused person who hasn't had the opportunity to experience the world. Now she's a sympathetic character with a tragic backstory and from there she can grow.

On the flip, Kay being present in the Jungle implies that she is either extremely wreckless, unaware, or just naive. I lean towards naive because the idea of just going into a place full of monsters (without a tent!) and just going to sleep, expecting it to be fine, seems outrageous. Even after she met Mint her first thought was "aw, I hope she likes me." Rather than trying to escape while the naga was asleep.

So all the choices I'm making are to facilitate things I want to happen in the story and the reasoning behind them I make up later. Kay being a bit silly and prone to being eaten lends to her as a prey character so it's fun and so I will bake that into further events.

I appreciate the affection. So here comes my question.

What "things" are there in this forest? How many are predators? Is there any way to be "reborn".

Theoretically, it is possible to reach adulthood quickly in this universe, so that there is always food, right?

ThroatSlide

So Nagas, harpies, giant toads, big lizards, carnivorous plants, various other humanoid monsters.

Because of the abundance of edible greenery the jungle also supports a large population of herbivores that sustain the predators. Humans are not the only food source, though they are the most common depicted.

I'm not considering any methods of reformation currently, so no rebirth.this isn't an issue. The total impact on predator food supply is negligible since I'm only ever depicting a small sample of the goings on. Getting eaten is rare, dispite disportionate representation. It's entirely possible someone could go their entire life and never be at risk of being eaten.

hmm,m with those bulges i wouldve thought she swallowed something humanoid

You can't expect her to eat smaller portions just cause the food is smaller! But if you're welcome to make that your personal headcanon if you wish. ;)

Don't think I don't notice that human-sized lump deeper in Mint's tail. Is that *really* just old fish?

ThroatSlide

Haha. In the original sketch it was one massive fish but the details got lost when I get to the scales. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Though I will admit I toyed with the idea of Mint gobbling a hiker while Kay wasn't around. In another timeline it could have happened.
