The marks on Lan probably aren't going to be permanent, but it's not a bad idea if they were. The red marks on chest and arm is a way from this tribe's culture to give strenght to that body area, or just show how strenght it is, like a tiger. The mark on the other arm is more related to myself than him, it basically means that he won't shed blood, he is a pacifist and won't fight at least physically.

The markings on the belly is representing fire and ashes, like a bonfire or even a phoenix, it is basically a way to simbolyze sexual appetite and/or fertility, also painted on body to bless and help the fox this way. Just wanted to share this, because these are small details that no one would never notice and this drawing actually makes me feel really good because it is me there. :3
