⟡ Welcome to Kheprri-Garde ⟡

Wasn’t sure what I was gonna do with this blog, I just made it a while ago to claim the name for future use. Decided recently that it’d be good for tf stuff :3

So welcome! I go by they/he and you can call me Kheprri or Khep. I've always been interested in tf but never really let myself actually give into it as a kid until super recently and now the franchise has a very strong grip on my brain.

Lore details on EoG and some of the events there. There’s a few that are kinda complicated so I hope I cleared at least something about them. Anyway. I hope this is helpful for at least something. I definitely will continue this, I just need to search around the other stories and continue EoG. If I can.

Wow, it's been a while since I've posted anything or even looked at Tumblr. But I decided to draw one of my fav ocs, Dioptase Turquoise Labradorite. Yep. And that's him; He's quite adorable. Dioptase is my only character with the strongest telekinetic aura as he's able to summon massive sentient beings from other realms. There's legends in Tailnrr of a god who could move even the tallest mountains and control the ancient celestial beings. His dragon companion is an old celestial being known as Aegroe (pronounced: ah-gruh or ah-grow). I'll be posting a picture of Aegroe sooner or later (hopefully today or tomorrow) as well as outfit sets of each region in Tailnrr (sooner or later). Another thing I'll be posting is the updated map of Tailnrr, but that's ok be a while since I haven't touched my tablet for a month or so (I drew that on my sketchbook and my phone XP) Hope it wasn't too bad. Like I said this was done on my phone but I seem to be getting better at it. I don't normally draw pixel art, though, and this was gonna be one until I gave up and called it good for now.

Had to draw my favorite silly guy again. With some small reworks and actual art I can use as a rough reference that's all nice and updated.

Any time I start thinking about my ocs, Vi'Dnnyr is always on the top and completely obscures all my other ocs. Even if his overall story (along with Zhanu's by association) needs a lot of reworking. Actually everyone does but he's higher on my list coz he's my silly.

Bonus doodle :]

some extra info: The "bioweapon'' mentioned in the 3rd image is a bio-engineered species the oujack created and experimented with. Vi'dnnyr only encountered a few during his main story, but upon taking in Zhanu (per Aeregele's request) they discover that things have gotten MUCH worse. And by worse I mean there's a full colony of them now because they escaped containment shortly after Vi had foiled their original plan.

[kheprriverse]

No, that is not what he said.

Seeking guidance from Titan Fa'llan who brings them to his divine companion, Mae'Lothros, an ancient dragon that lives under the oceans of Undin'Jayle. He does give them the directions Vi'dnnyr and Sirius need but Vi decides to purposely misinterpret what he says to spook Sirius.

I’ve been very busy so here are some sketches to show that I’m not dead :)

There’s also this post on kofi that has MORE wyvern related sketches and a couple wip animations available for members.

I promise all of this is related to one another and I will post more about it on kofi. I had the sudden urge to really dig into one of my all time dreams, which is to make a game that takes place in Tailnrr. I don’t plan on completely disappearing as my motivation goes in and out a lot anyways and I do wanna continue my loz stuff as well. I’m just gonna be learning how to do that in the background while working on concept art since I know it’ll be a long time coming, especially when it comes to my level of focus (which is already super sporadic).

Below is gonna be a summary of each image to explain what they are/are for. It’s gonna be a lot of nonsense for anyone unfamiliar with my main storyverse (which is most people probably).

First image is Alijhe, Titan Fa’llan’s first daughter who moved to the main continent to seek amends with the oujack and help her younger brother (Da’rien) out with his hunting and research guild after the crash of Venture caused the fauna in the area to become more skittish and aggressive. After it’s all settled she decides to move south into the Rak’our region where she founds the Wyvern’s Perch, a research and rescue base to check on and study the katsuryn that had escaped a century before and migrated south. [map on my kofi]

Second image is a base I made for myself when designing wyverns (specifically the Katsuryn). This one is Kovul who will make a special appearance as a rare wyvern since he’s (mostly) not wild. He's the companion of Vi'Dnnyr, Rak'our's leader.

Third is another special wyvern (whose rename is still pending). She’s the oldest living relative of the wyverns at the moment, being as close to their ancient ancestor as possible. She’s incredibly old but also incredibly nice. She’s the wyvern companion of Lai’Norys, the lijia in charge of the central most region, Ketsuynn, and effectively Da’rien’s boss.

I don't know why it took me this long to notice, but YOUR DRAGONS HAVE TOE BEANS!

This is a wonderful discovery. Thank you for giving them toe beans

I LOVE IT WHEN DRAGONS HAVE BEANS!!!!

some quick dragon hand doodles of some various sillies

Have some vague character lore for each hand: > Kheprri: Current sun god, chases the moon every night. > Toai: Endangered species, companion of demi-titan Mae'tan. > Mae'Lothros: Origin Species, companion of Titan Fa'llan and guardian of Undin'Jayle. Preserved by Aeregele in the hopes that the venellisk species population would return (it does not). > Uro-Kuro: Endangered species, often tracked and looked after by lijia scouts in Ketsuynn. > Apyth: Deceased. Apyth is one half of a set of twin sun gods before both were slain during the Titan War. > Shein'Za: Once the dragon companion of her deity, she sacrificed her life to preserve her companion and merged minds. Now protector of Etoi'Jayle.

A really small Tailnrr-related wip coz idk I’ve been needing to redo some dragon species sheets. I’ve got a lot of information sheets to work on, in and out of loz tbh.

Working on Mistfliers, full name is a work in progress rn. You can find the original here.

The wip here is a naked fullbody to show areas where fur could grow. They often have manes or fur on their arms, but every individual is different and may have different fur-growth patterns.

Anyways! Hope y’all like this so far. These are some of my fav dragons but I just never draw them outside of Ko’jin. They’re rather elusive on Tailnrr compared to some of the other species. A more detailed wip(?) may end up on my kofi for members until it’s done, to which the finished image will be posted there for everyone to see.

Peek at one of my ocs: Zhanu! -> Full page + ref image are on my kofi!

Kinda worked on him on and off for a while. Had his ref hanging around because it felt too busy. Finally (kinda?) fixed it but its not like I'll stay 100% true to it, like many of my refs lol. So outfit changes, how I color his stripes, etc will probs vary a lot anyways.

[kheprriverse]

Hell yeah! That makes me very happy to hear 🥰! And no worries about being late, I don't talk about my ocs as much so its been smth that's been om my mind again only recently. Got AFOP recently and the break from my au got me really thinking about my ocs again.

Shein'za has been through a ton of redesigns, but the images you might be familiar with on my ko-fi are some of the closest I got at the time to a final idea. So I decided to take this as an opportunity to try again in hopes of getting smth I liked and MAN!! I do enjoy this so ty for asking and giving me that excuse <3!

-> Full-res image available to download on my kofi!

Below the cut is some lore!

Shein'za, once a titan and his dragon companion, now a single being in charge of overseeing and protecting a spirit realm (Etoi'Jayle).

During the Titan Uprising, Shein'za was one of the main targets, particularly by Faey'le who had finally become strong enough to challenge him. Slaying the titan would give him not only power over the spirit realm but also enough power to take down the titan's creator. But his plan failed when he became overwhelmed and Shien'za was swallowed by his own dragon in order to preserve his soul.

-> Etoi'Jayle will also be getting some changes, primarily because AFOP and my LOZ-au got my brain moving again and the braincells are respawning.

Vi’dynnr and Zhanu doodle!

There’s just smth about Vi’dynnr’s old miserable ass seeing Zhanu and being like “ah yes. This is my son now” and just adopting him on the spot.

Vi’dynnr and Zhanu aren’t even the central characters to the entire story but they sure are in my head.

Art so cool and edible and woah i am eating are so inspiring

-z

AAAAAAA THANK YOU!!!!

[kheprriverse]

Y’all thinking about an older Ares has RUINED me

[kheprriverse]

Another update :]

Spent an entire day working this guy’s design out and I decided I love it so much. His name is Sirius Winter and he's Vi'Dnnyr's best friend (don't tell Vi that they're besties). I'll hopefully draw him some more to show here, the kofi post is just Wyvern's Perch related.

This image is one of the original sketches I made when finalizing his design. He went through a LOT of iterations before I was struck with an epiphany that he should have a black and white color scheme.

Sorry for the lack of loz content, I have been COOKING! I'm still working on loz stuff in the background, it's just pushed back a bit to give my brain some creative flow after working on it for almost a year.

Here’s some peeks at what I’ve been working on:

Details about each image below (for those of you not entirely interested in my kofi/personal stuff you can ignore it all coz this is basically a plug)

-> Img 1: Kovul, wyvern companion of Vi’dynnr. (Tbp) -> Img 2: Kovul’s sketchpage ($1+ tier) -> Img 3: Environmental practice + Tailnrr Map WIP ($1+ tier) -> Img 4: Tailnrr Wildlife addition (Ketz’henyr) + Base peek. ($1+ tier) -> Img 5: Tailnrr Wildlife addition (Zelkn — Drake) + chibi base peek. ($1+ tier)

Everything that's on kofi rn is basically "what am i working on" plus wips, concept progress, and full-image peeks at whats to come, and lore (is the best way I can explain it tbh). Once everything is solidified, finished references and stuff will be free to view for everyone (while old wips, concept pages, etc will still be behind membership).

WIPs aren't guaranteed to be finished btw. And this isn't all that I'm working on atm.
