My first Oddworld oc! :D I decided to name him Sol X3 I'm also still very new to drawing Mudokuns so....yea...still tryna get the hang of it -v-
As for his backstory.....well....it's a long one....here we go! *Clears throat*
Sol’s starts off in place in the far northern region of Mudos, a frozen wasteland and works in Frostfall Foundry. Its pretty much a massive industrial facility surrounded by a towering steel wall. It was built to preserve and process bones and organic materials mined from a nearby ancient burial ground called Morkhul, before eventually shipping them off to Bonewerkz for grinding and ultimately sent to Soulstorm brewery
Sol was once an ordinary Mudokon slave, working as a pipe repairer and welder in Frostfall Foundry. But when rumors spread of Abe’s escape and the fall of RuptureFarms, the Glukkons in charge of Frostfall Foundry, known as Rixwell and Valorn began to worry about a potential uprising in their own facility. To prevent rebellion, Rixwell declared that Abe was nothing but a myth, while Valorn increased surveillance and violence against the workers.
However there were still ongoing whispers of freedom and in desperation, the Glukkons forced Sol into becoming their spy, threatening to punish every Mudokon in the Foundry if he refused. Sol had no other choice but to agree and overall filled him with guilt and shame, and he did what he could to stay isolated from the other Mudokuns.
Sol got his scar after an accident when fixing a pipe. The pipe had burst and the welding tool he had had accidentally burnt half of his face. Luckily he was found by two Mudokuns, Ace and Oscar
Its about as far as I've gotten XD As for this art tho, I'm thinking it might be a scene that happens sometime later...after Sol escapes Frostfall Foundry and finds a long forgotten Mudokun tribe perhaps? 👀 Idk, still brainstorming XD thanks for listening to my rambling tho!
Oh! And for an additional bonus, here's a concept sketch and base colours :3
