Commission I did for Robocrat a while back.
This took forever because I only had Photoshop and ew lining in photoshop.
Also, the file was so massive my crappy old computer could barely handle it and the file would take around ten minutes to load.
Anyway!
My naga girls, hydra, and his conjoined twins having a girls' night in.

I think my last question was a little inarticulate. So let me try this again. How do you suppose hydra society functions, given that one body can have personalities of several different ages budding off? For example, when a new head or torso starts growing, how long does it take before it's... "presentable," let's call it, and what apparent age do they have, both body and brain?

And regarding hydra society:
it doesn't function very well at all, being a dying species with reproductive issues, alongside many others around, obviously, growth, infection, other defects, so on and so forth. Hydras have ended up becoming rather rare, the remaining examples of the species being regarded a rather large oddity among the other beings inhabiting their world.
As for budding, flesh and bone begin to gather and grow together before any form of sentience... or even the look of any actual body part, do. This is usually covered by cloth or gauze or... anything, really.
If a head is to sprout, the new growth will first appear as a lump, then a rather gruesome parasitic twin, and eventually will come together to form a skull/neck/etc. The budded head has intelligence similar to an infant, and is treated as such, though it grows to its adult size and brain capacity at a faster pace. Still, it takes 10-15 years to be able to consider this new head an adult for all intents and purposes.
Other, more common things to grow would be additional fingers or toes, should hands or feet be damaged enough. Skin may thicken where it was once cut, et cetera.
It is not uncommon, however, for flesh to grow with no particular structure in mind, often creating growths of skin and flesh which result in painful abscesses.
It is common practice for modern hydras to cauterize possible new growths(/wounds which may result in them) to save themselves the burden of another mouth to feed.
Given the hydras' propensity to have healing of any wound going rather out of control without proper care, in times before there was proper medical treatment available, it was common for long-lived examples of the species to look akin to Eldritch horrors.
...In all honesty, this species was made by request for commissions. That's just what I've come up with to keep myself a bit more interested in the characters. I fully acknowledge plotholes and all other crap.
