Sorry for disappearing. I, uh, forgot how to draw 👀💦 so I’m just gonna do half-assed scribbles of my Sverenne guys. ._.

Characters come from Malignant Remedy & GrimR of Nowither from the Sverenne chronicles.

I've been stuck in a creative funk lately. All I can think about is my dumb futuristic AU where Urok is a cyborg and Zephry is a tech wizard in cyber-prosthetics.

[yoel-o-fellow]

My friend, Ruth, and I were choreographing a possible fight scene between Urokmura and a mist dragon. I just like the idea of a dragon vaporizing and reforming at will. But imagine having to slay this colossal, serpentine beast in ghostly hummocks of fog.

I drew nothing for Pride month, as of yet, but here’s a random list of my lgbtq+ characters in case you were wondering:

GrímR of Nowither

GrímR (demisexual-pansexual)

Urokmura (gay)

Dietre (lesbian)

Sverenne OC portraits from when I was getting used to Procreate. The program is growing on me.

More scribbles of V.D.. Went for an Alfred Molina look, ended up with a thick Hugh Jackman. 🥲

I'm naming Urok's mom, "Kharkanaga". It's not the most effeminate name, but she's an effing dragon. Her name should inspire fear.

Urokmura and his somewhat scary mother, the Queen Mother of the Sienese dragons. The reason she looks younger than him is because she has more emotional control than he does. It’s a part of mastering dragon magic.

If anyone knows of an artist who draws delicious old men, I think I wanna commission them. ;-;

Very old unfinished scribbles of the rat bastard

Okayokay way back when you were telling me Habenumbra's backstory

Is the storm god you mentioned in the Otto Empire Origin also one of the old gods???

Oh btw if there's anything you've got on Agah Gubah I'd love to hear it 💖

Yeah! El'Selsyion is one of the old gods (out of five: Habenumbra, Hexikutli, Agah Gubah, Torq'Torran and El'Selsyion). El'selsyion was initially two different gods - the god of storms and the god of the sea - but they chose to merge when one was on the brink of death. They were lovers.

El'Selsyion is the god of water, storms and volatility. Due to her temperamental nature, she is also strongly associated to war and rapid change. She is regarded as the mother of naiads, the phiba and all creatures who live in water.

Agah Gubah (also nicknamed "The Great Hag") is the god of growth, decay, evolution and trickery. She presides over all living things, but she is mostly associated with flora, especially trees, forests and fungi. She is not known to be a particularly sympathetic god, for she favors plants over living creatures. Disease and rot are also her domain, so she is a harbinger of death, but not its sole arbiter - not to be confused with Habenumbra who has full reign over life and death.

Agah Gubah's love of trickery stems from the cutthroat nature of evolution, and how those with a knack for deception tend to outlive those without. It is one of the reasons she is regarded as the anticipation of Achtbenatu, for they are both trickster gods, and have been used as symbols for dying histories and dying civilizations.

Idolitrism for Agah Gubah is most prominent in Accode and in the dryad parts of Myr, but she is worshipped as a lesser deity in the various parts around Sverenne that still practice the Old Religion.

(Below: An old scribble of Agah Gubah I never got around to finishing. I think when I'm finished with her design she will ultimately appear less humanoid, but I would still like her to resemble a gnarly, gargantuan tree.)

A Bit About Goblin Beliefs

So...funny story...

According to Old Religion scripture, the god, Hexikutli, created goblins to be his devotees and to be contrarian to the supreme god, Habenumbra, as well as all her teachings. But because he made them excessively contrarian, they questioned and scrutinized all of Hexikutli's precepts as well, eventually outright rejecting him. So while they acknowledge him as their "father", they never swore fealty to any one god.

I'm trying out Procreate for the first time. ;-;

Started with a sketch of Mortifan, one of Woxardam’s undertakers. He’s a bit of a folk hero, rumoured to be a ghost for he keeps to himself, speaks cryptically, and is always accompanied by a flock of pigeons. But his neighbourhood likes him cause he keeps his rates incredibly low.

[yoel-o-fellow]

This is so funny, cause Moses' singing voice sounds like Iza to me. So now whenever I hear the Queen's Reprise, I'm just gonna picture Lash telling Iza that "this is [his] home".
