Timeline

The major events in Erthe's history.

Looks a bit shitty, I know... I just wanted to force myself to use colors since I am not very good with them

and this is the result

I think some parts are really good, I particularly like the space cloud, but overall its lacking sadly

Since I soon understood that this was a first take at the Erthe's timeline, I just gave the most basic information. I will expand on this later with a better composition

[daraifu]

Basic Implants

These are the most common implants and augmentations used on Erthe, even by commoners.

It's rare to find people who do not have at least one enhancer, as they have become quite common. The exception to this tends to be children/teens, who are more likely to be without enhancers due to their limited options.

The age at which individuals can undergo implant surgery varies based on the type of enhancement desired. Generally, children as young as 7 can receive eye prosthetics or tactile implants. However, augmentation involving brain surgery is typically discouraged for younger patients, leading to a preference for external devices that can perform similar functions.

As individuals mature, they often transition from using external enhancements to opting for implants. This change results in external devices being primarily utilized for children or individuals with disabilities who are unable to undergo certain surgeries.

Some demonstrative doodles with Derek

He is very mean

Obviously, he still doesn't have a name because all germanic names sound old, and this is supposed to be a futuristic story (it will be hard help)

But a name that I have is the one he is being mean to, which is Lilo poor Lilo

He is one of, if not THE, main antagonist of Derek's story He isn't super evil, he does things for a specific reason that aren't very dark He just wants Derek's ass to come back to Zestrad (name of the state)

He also needs some counselling, because there are issues that needs to be addressed

Sorry, I don't have much to say about him without entering spoiler territory

[daraifu]

Clothes are cool... but look at the paper

You can see that all my effort went to the background

This is the first part I will make to explore plumoe's clothing, this is just a brief introduction

They don't wear much since they need hydration, and clothes absorb water to a degree... I also used this as an opportunity to draw some villagers that aren't super important but still need a design. Colors may change, especially the clothes, since I kinda of went for it without much thought

Pai Pai and Mihua are the chief's children; they are part of a set of triplets, but I didn’t have enough space for the third sibling. Rae and Merlua are significant figures in the village, with Merlua coming from a very "influential" family.

Sheatrhee Family (minus Luta)

They are Luta's adoptive family, and Cesh is specifically the one parenting him since they found him in the first place.

Loale is a seamstress from Lamea who came to Lumall to establish her small shop. There she met Tahre, a local who offered his assistance to move her things and get her shop ready for business.

Loale and Tahre soon became good friends, which led them to eventually get married. As part of their commitment, they made each other personalized ribbons, a traditional symbol of marriage that one wears in their everyday life.

Despite her advanced age, Loale successfully gave birth to multiple children without any complications. Her first hatchlings were twins named Cesh and Tu Shi. Many years later, she had a second batch of eggs, which produced a quadruplet: Kohre, Muhoo, Jei Jei, and Deshra.

In terms of appearance, their children mainly inherit their colors from Tahre, while in physical build, especially Cesh and Tu Shi, they bear a stronger resemblance to Loale.

Loale serves as the head of the family, since her significant contributions to the village through her high-quality clothing set her apart from other plumoe. Meanwhile, Tahre plays a more supportive role. He officially "works" as a handyman and manages the household, caring for the children while Loale focuses on her work.

Loale, even if a foreigner, was quickly embraced by the locals, with just a few exceptions. Her children have also seamlessly integrated into the village, despite their different appearance.

The Sheatrhee live in the commercial area of Lumall, exactly in the middle between the port and the temple.

Are you confused? Lost? Don’t know where to start?

Don’t worry, this post is all for you!! Here is a brief summary to help you out!!

!!Some information may change in the future, like names or other stuff, but it will all be updated here!!

"Business" Section

✦ Where you can find me?

Tumblr (you are already here!!)

Instagram

✦ Commissions?

No, but yes. Commissions are an unknown territory for me... although I don’t typically do them, I’m open to accepting a few here and there. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to get in touch. It's important to note that the minimum price for a drawing is 15€, and the cost will increase depending on the complexity.

I am open to draw anything if its not too complicated, maybe with heavy restriction only against real life people and children. I will draw them but only within specific boundaries.

I also note that I will only be using PayPal as the major payment service.

Worldbuilding Section

✦ Beginning

This information may not be critical for understanding my stories going forward, but it’s nice to have.

The Titans are the creator gods of their inner worlds, as they are essential to the fabric of these universes. Without them, these worlds would slowly cease to exist. The relationship between a Titan and its world mirrors that of a person and their cells. Just as a cell is unable to live outside of its body, a universe can't survive without its Titan, but a Titan can live on without their inner world. A Titan can only operate within their personal universe and can't influence another's, making so that each world is separated from one another.

⟡ Ylifi

The stories that will take place in Ylifi will focus more on complex issues such as grief, trauma, and other similar things.

That's why I don't have much to say about it because I don't wanna rush it, and I wanna find a solid idea first.

In short, Ylifi is in development HELL.

⟡ Erthe

Erthe's world resembles our own, with a few adjustments and a small flood here and there...

hehe

In contrast to my other universes, Erthe is home to just two species. (my brain is itching at the idea of aliens, but we'll see)

The focus is more on people's lives and their new environment, examining how society has evolved. I have made so many drawings for this world, but none of them explain the lore... I am so sad at this realisation

⟡ Lureed

Lureed is my comfort zone and personal favourite to develop.

The stories here will focus less on world-ending calamities and more on exploring and daily life. There will obviously be some exceptions, such as stories with a greater global impact or deeper themes.

Lureed is diverse like that

Lumall, a plumoa village

Lumall is the village in which the story takes place All my plumoe characters live here

*Balesh was his old name that I forgot ot change in the text, as well as writing Lumall with one l Ba She is the chief of the village and has two twins and two younger brothers He lives in the big house at the bottom, the one near the text, together with his wife Peshe and three kids Ba She has a bit of mixed heritage his father was the previous chief, born and raised in Lumall but his mother was from a nomad clan of plumoe

Lumall is unique as it is one of the rare full plumoe villages in Lureed This arises from the nature of the plumoe a nomadic species that typically does not create permanent settlements When they do choose to settle, they often integrate into pre-existing villages alongside other species such as Lamea (Loale is from here) a mixed village where a significant number of plumoe have chosen to live Here are some sketches I did for Lumall's insignia + other things

[daraifu]

I am thinking or renaming the devels... I have been thinking about it for quite some time honestly

The main reason is that is too similar to devil shocking I know

I always wanted to give my species new names even if they are inspired by existing ones the reason is that I may change them in a way that removes some core aspects that other people think are essential to the species

So I wanted to find common ground between a new name and the original one so that people don't have a hard time with all the names

Examples

Enses They are inspired by angels obviously but lost the messenger part and are no longer servants to a God (not more than any other species at least) Since angels come from a word meaning messenger it didn't make much sense to call them such

Plumoe They are slugs and look like it but with a few changes But enough changes that I felt more comfortable giving them a new name that is similar to their scientific name but still distinct

All I wanted to say is Devels are still in development and their name is one of the things that will change for sure

Light Man and BoyFailure

I had a little story in mind for a while, a simple one honestly. Just to explore the dynamics of lower-class devels and a bit of enses'.

Jeathiel is temporarily exiled only for 1000 years and had the incredible luck to fall straight into a develish territory... without powers

Zamarm found him and they are now both in deep trouble, all thanks to Zamarm who has a lot of enemies because he is an asshole. Jeathiel is a target by default just by being an ens

They're gonna have fun <3

Bit of Info dump Lore

Enses are a species of light creatures that homins(Lureed's humans) keep calling angels, despite them not sending messages anywhere like the meaning of the word angel* would suggests.

*Angel comes from the Greek "Angelos" which means messenger.

They emit a soft light, like yellow guy here, and are covered in feathers. They can connect with each other mentally and have a strict hierarchical system. Devels, in contrast, absorb light and don't have feathers. They usually fight between themselves and other species a lot, enses in particular. They are really mean... like A LOT (not by nature btw)

Little Update to Homins

I didn't really like how the homins were so bland so I thought

Since we humans are monkeys, and homins are Lureed's humans

I made homins monkeys

I have the biggest brain I know

Luta is so adorable and cute and my little baby

However I wanted to showcase other homins that inhabit Lureed, but the only characters of this species I created were all of Luta's relatives

sooo

I made random ones

The sketches are below

[daraifu]

Anatomy Class fellas

I had a creative boom about a week ago, and I did so many drawings that you guys have no idea

It felt like my brain just locked in for no reason

Anyway Here is the result +Cesh(the red one) and Tu Shi(the blue one)

I tried a new coloring style for a change, and I kind of hated it honestly but HEY

experimentation

I wanted to explore my fictional species more, like finally deciding on some things and designing others...

For the definitive things that will not change, may god strike me down They are:

Plumoe have blue blood, which is denser than a normal homin's

They have square "jelly" hair, not really jelly but you get me

They are thick-skinned and they rarely are slim (they are based on gastropods after all)

For the organs, they will change in shape but not function, because this is my first time drawing them and I didn't want to go too far from normal

BUT

I plan to give them a more fantasy look in the future, even for normal homins

(homins are humans btw)

If you are interested in the previous versions (flat colors, sketch, etc...)

[daraifu]

Radioactive Cow (not actually a cow)

GUYS LOOK AT THE JACKET IT LOOKS SO GOOD!!

hehe

So I had this idea in mind for a while...

A diw with really bright green hair and a vague rose theme (mainly for the spikes)

Now the roses can't be really seen on him because I created this character in a videogame and this is the outfit he goes around doing crime with... Playing as him also gave me even more ideas so I finally drew him. His name in game is technically Edell but I picked it at random so it could change...

This also helped me nail the diwves features a little bit better, although I am still unsure how much I want them to look animalistic... I really like his ears <3

I also made other versions for fun (ignore my spelling mistake)

Can you guess the game I played as him?? hehehehehe

[daraifu]

The Light Chikens (aka Enses)

As much as I liked Jeathiel's design, I feel like I hadn't a strong idea of how enses look in general

So I decided to draw some random ones to explore their shapes and colors

I also added some important information that I will elaborate on now:

Enses society exhibits a unique blend of matriarchy and patriarchy.

This is because of the rarity of female enses, which granted them significant power and influence within the social hierarchy. Despite their important roles, these women are still expected to adhere to traditional expectations.

In their family structure, each unit consists of a mother and several fathers, typically ranging from 2-5 males for each female. While the mothers are primarily responsible for childbearing, they are not obligated to take on the role of the primary caregiver, a responsibility often managed by one or two of the men in the unit.

The Mamhiel is like a Queen to the enses, she is believed to be closely connected to their God and her word is "almost" a command. Unlike traditional monarchs, her husbands do not hold the title of King and their influence dissipates with her death. Only her children keep their status.

Choruses and compositors are subcategories of enses born with specific innate powers. A chorus is identified by a birthmark on their neck and chest and uses their voice to perform various tasks. In contrast, a compositor can create objects using their light.

For a better view at the drawing;

[daraifu]

I am sorry Ylifi

I usually never draw Ylifi-related content due to a variety of reasons...

Mainly because I have much more fun worldbuilding than storytelling

so I have a very solid world (if I say so myself hehe) but a mediocre story and vague characters

I still haven't decided if the main character is a guy or a girl

like cmon

[daraifu]

When they grow up

I was talking to a friend about Luta and his birth family And they sounded surprised that he had a brother, which I had already drawn before

like a year ago or more

So I drew Luta and his brother Atta as adults, Atta used to have blue eyes but it doesn't make sense lore-wise so they are now black (I now noticed, that I made Luta's eye too dark ops) Atta is justifiably angry because he and Luta haven't seen each other since they were... like 6

even though I put them next to each other

He kinda hates his entire village, few excluded, and he is very salty about the belief they have (which is the reason Luta had to escape)

Derek is a very affectionate person So it's obvious he would do something for Yulian on Valentine's Day

Typical roommate behavior
