Commissioned Art of Chatzu'kuan!

Commissioned Art of Chatzu'kuan!

I felt the need to get Chatzu’kuan done. She just…needed to be rendered into life. So I commissioned AR Sullivan for art of Chatzu’kuan. Chatzu’kuan not from any particular point in the series, but of a future state version of her. After she’s figured herself out, basically. This is also a quasi-companion piece to Spellbinder’s art. I wanted them to be posing so they could be ‘next’ to each other. The background didn’t have to be consistent, though. I wanted...

Commissioned Art of Kulaszar

Commissioned Art of Kulaszar

I commissioned AR Sullivan once again, this time to do Kulaszar! Kulaszar…who is a Shafien, as in, a shapeshifter. He does have a ‘normal’ form he takes, but…he also can take the form of anything else and has changed into some very interesting shapes in the past. I wanted him in a basically ‘normal’ state but showing off his abilities in the form of tentacles. He makes himself tentacles often so it made sense to me. Given his abilities, though,...

Sorting the Characters into Hogwarts Houses (Part 3)

Sorting the Characters into Hogwarts Houses (Part 3)

This is part three of my Hogwarts Sorting. Here I finally sort some side characters: Marcus, Jessica, Ramulein, Nefertiti, Chatzu’kuan, and Robo-Knight! I don’t think any of these are controversial. These were pretty easy to figure out, all things considered. Marcus & Jessica - Ravenclaw Marcus and Jessica are both unique individuals driven to creative professions. Beyond that, they have shown curiosity and a desire to learn more of the strange world they have been thrust into. They're weird Ravenclaws,...

Commissioned Art of Ra'uw'la in Armor

Commissioned Art of Ra'uw'la in Armor

Ra’uw’la Vuwai joins Hequera/Dien in having commissioned art made of them! Woohoo! AR Sullivan was the artist I went with for Ra’uw’la. Although I had went with AR Sullivan primarily for Spellbinder/Farrco, I had planned on Ra’uw’la getting commissioned by them eventually too, as they had done these wolf-ish Humanoid characters. It made sense. The idea I had for Ra’uw’la’s art was with him in his armor, in a proud position, inside his abode, like a blue-ish cave. He would...
