You Know When

Please tell me other people can relate I’m having a crisis

Wyvern Headshots!

Mirtyn, Elysi, Noirn & Grimmere!

Playing with wyvern designs to show myself I can actually make cool designs with (limited) limitations (their sexual dimorphism.)

Noirn is comparatively glossy compared to her brother Grimm (Because Grimm could not care about his appearance.)

Someone asked for another hand tutorial and i once again failed to deliver the tutorial part

Been a while since I posted an update in my fic here. here is a update on my fuc here,, i guess,..

i hope im a positive influence on somebody’s life

I’m not completely done with Griffeuxes (there’s still so much to be talked about with them!), but I’m a bit of a multi-tasker: So! The next species I’m focusing on are the Wyverns!

But since they are apart of the draconic four-pack (Dragons, Drakes, Wyverns and Raptors) I’m going to tackle them a bit differently!

Soon.

flying the original character artist flag with pride

Honestly when people say their art needs to get "more weird" they usually mean that as in "less commercial/less broadly appealing" and I think the answer to this is not to insert artificial Quirky Weird Style Stuff into it I think you just need to get uncomfortably earnest. What's the thing you really want to draw but feel shy about putting the effort into because it'd be too sincere an admission. You need to draw that. I want to see it

Extensions :)

(Not much) More under

Okay it’s a lot more under

Their Monarchies were called Courts because the leadership and cities were built on massive Courtyards that still stand to date. Though they are abandoned (Nobody wants to occupy them because it’d be like saying you’re Crowned/genuinely rude to them) they are commonly used as marketplaces while avoiding the main castles. This is also why their Capital is not even remotely in the center of the continent: too many Court-grounds are located centrally.

Magic exists and is studied. Mageis is named and was primarily started to push studies of magic and educating *everyone* and spreading that knowledge. It’s basically a massive teacher organization (as well as magic wizards shit but that’s aside.) I’ll go more into depth after general species and environments are done.

Yes they wear badges and they color coordinate because that’s neat.

In the Third image is a leader not displayed yet! He’s a Drake so he’ll come eventually. I didn’t do his colors justice he’s such a sparkle dog.

Mirtyn (green wyvern) and Cirn (Blue Phoenix) are mentor & Trainee relationship.

To take a break from Griffeuxes:

Feylands Government System!

They use to hold a multitude of Monarchies across the continent, but after several riots against the multiple monarchies and a lot of cleaning up: Six organizations came about to instill order and have been working cleanly after a few hiccups.

I have unifying colors for them and Flags!

In order:

Gis (Argriculture & Rural affairs)

Thalimis (Architecture, infrastructure & Water incorporation)

Ourinis (Communication, Transportation & Imports/exports)

Nekis (Law Enforcement & Millitary matters)

Mageis (Education)

Ygeis (Healthcare)

All the original leaders commissioned or hand-crafted their flag.

(Socialist Oligarchy With six major Organizations)

House/structure concepts. The human characters I’m developing come from a lineage of marsh and delta-dwelling peoples that have a thriving ceramics culture due to the naturally abundant clays carried by the river and deposited on its shores. Settlements appear on scattered hilltops along the borders of the delta and the plains, which rise above the highest seasonal flooding. Temporary structures on floating platforms are common further into the delta floodplain during summer food-gathering expeditions.

Permanent homes and buildings are made from a cob-like clay and fiber mixture, often with wooden supports; young saplings are preferred due to their flexibility and can conform to the desired circular shapes. In resource-rich areas, some structures can be “fired” by filling the chambers with wood and charcoal and burning for days, partially or wholly vitrifying the thin walls. Most towns have a large central kiln; ceramics are a major trade export.

Their architecture takes on rounded shapes due to an ancient association of thrown bowl forms with the hearth and womb, though that history is not necessarily relevant or common knowledge to everyday people. Circular and spiral motifs recur in design and architectural planning due to wider cultural and religious understanding of The Spiral as the guiding force of magic and the rhythms of existence. The arrangement of cosmic bodies is conceived of as an overlapping spiral pattern, the intersections of which have tangible effects on magic-users’ ability to channel The Spiral’s cosmic power. It is said that dragons’ ichor contains fine particles of starstuff which reverberates with cosmic energy and increases their power and connection to The Spiral beyond what any human could achieve.
