Misc. Regions

Barrenlands

-A small archipelago of active volcanic islands, covered by a massive ice sheet. This barren winter hellscape is a cold and foreboding place that harbors some of the toughest life on the planet.

Auroria

-A large archipelago that is the result of very unique tectonic interactions and erosion, creating a strange and beautiful winter wonderlandscape. Due to the region's placement at the south pole it is gifted with the vision of the Aurora Borealis.

Pantheon Isle

-The home of the goddesses, created as a hideout to watch their creation flourish. Placed at the nemo point and sculpted by volcanoes and erosion to create the perfect living quarters for the creators of this world.

I think I Finished the portrait of my oc Llynaira youngest daughter of King Marren the king of the sea.

An important character in my world building project. Let me know if you want to know more about her :3

Been experimenting with a few different elements of my style still trying to figure it all out

Introduction

Hi! Call me Red.

I am a queer young adult artist with a passion for making stories! My pronouns are he/they/it.

Red 'Neath the Dogwood is a feline centric xenofiction world building project that is inspired by the blogs @/barrenclan, @/bonefall, @/trinitywc, and @/cathedralcomic, as well as published works such as Warrior Cats, Ratha's Creature, Guardians of Ga'Hoole, and Watership Down. Other influences may show through, particularly the horror aspects present in media such as The Magnus Archives and Old Gods of Appalachia.

My goal with R'NtD is to create compelling groups with their own religious beliefs, food cultures, and a unifying language. The overarching story has not been decided yet, and while I flesh that out I will focus on characterizing the groups and who resides in them, along with creating unique roles and government systems for each.

This blog is a passion project and it is mostly just me working on it, with language help from my good friend @elkpaws.

Things To Know

Red 'Neath the Dogwood will not be a project for children and will include serious discussion of topics ranging from mental health, cultism, oppressive structures, and more. If these topics upset you, that is absolutely okay! This project will likely not be for you.

You are not bothering me with like spam or reblog spam! I appreciate the love and engagement :)

I ADORE seeing people talk and reply in tags and replies, it makes my day!!

I love asks! I will read them all!!! I might not get to all of them if I ever get super popular, but as a smaller work I will do my best to answer.

Please do not ping me on other people's work. It feels very rude!

The main theme I want to portray with Red 'Neath the Dogwood is generational differences, finding one's sense of self, and what drives people to fall into fascist ideas. GROWTH, CHANGE, and PROGRESS, for better or worse.

This will likely be a story that follows many characters and will grow to reflect that, with different "arcs" and offshoot tales about characters within the three groups present. I will do my best to tag for organization's sake, but be warned that I am forgetful and might lose posts.

I will also try to remember to tag for triggering or otherwise upsetting subject matter, but if I miss something send me an ask and I'll take care of it as best I can.

Closing Thoughts

For now I believe this covers everything I can think of, and as this project grows I will likely rewrite this pinned post to reflect those changes. In future I hope to have several original tags set up for this blog, including things specific to food, culture, and character posts.

Thank you for taking the time to read this! I hope I can make this blog worthwhile.

WEEK 3

Finished mini-me with mouths. Even though the hair doesn't match Yotsuba's style at all, I used it as inspiration for the colours and the eyes. What's missing is a pair of glasses before it actually looks like me, but I didn't think to make them. I wanted to show that the sun is shining on them at the side. I tried to use Yotsuba's style to draw the mouths, and I used watercolour to colour them to give a soft feel.

Here's a board for a world building project I'm working on

Unfortunately in our modern era time-slipped objects are becoming more common. Desk #62382 found on 2/3/06 has yet to be identified. Further investigation is required.

If you or a family member has found any peculiar objects in strange places report to the museum immediately.

TWM would like to thank you.

The Hellbender, or Corridor salamander is a kind of reptile that enjoy lurking on crypts and very dark, damp, and ancient dungeons. They're very fond of sitting on corridors (hence their other common name) and use their long, almost endless tails as sensory organs to detect unfortunate explorers that were looking for some sort of treasure. The first thing they see once they step on their tails, alongside hearing a screech is a big gaping jaw full of knife like teeth coming at them in a serpentine like motion.

Feralytosis

The werewolf disease

Different specimens of the primate order can be affected by this rare sickness.

The main symptoms are a total change in the anatomy of the body, increase in size, elongation of the muzzle and a great appetite for meat, preferably of the species of the infected subject.

lýkos-protanthropos Primordial Were-man.

The Protanthropos is a cuadrupedal animal with great intelligence and are very sociable, they're often found in big groups or tribes, ruled by a dominant (Alpha) pair.

These creatures can spread the sickness throught bites and corporal fluids, altought the percentage of surviving a direct attack of any of these beasts is close to none.

lykánthropos Homo sapiens lycaon.

The illness is believed to have spread to the human world when the outcast Lycaon started his reign over Arcadia, Greece.

Starting generations of disease that stretches into modern times, despite this, werewolves are nearly extinct due to the extensive hunt made by humans.

(top to bottom) lýkoseráida & lýkosnános

These are examples of small variations of the sickness, these are rather exotic due to the spreading method of the disease.

these creatures are often formed by experimentation rather than a natural contagion.

Just some wips and sketches for my world building project, been working a lot on my elves and their stories, as well as their entire culture and background i have so many ideas I am struggling to get it all down written for other people in a way that’s coherent and well written rather than never ending ramblings 😭

First two pieces are princess Llynaira and her uncle Kendel, i am going to be finished with these two pieces next week! I will reveal more of their story and the culture they come from as I upload the pieces :3 (warning this is a dark fantasy setting and they come from a world different from our own. They are romantically in love with one another, please do not come for me for this, if you do not like such topics just ignore please 🥺)

Been playing a lot of elden ring recently with my bf which is what inspired me for the last two sketch pages a disabled bed ridden boy who has been found by a cursed wanderer just some little ideas I am playing with, but they are gay and in love in a society where that is taboo, though both of their existences are just by being disabled and/or cursed,

I really wanted to play with the isolated feelings one can get as a queer or disabled person in a society that thinks you shouldn’t exist. And even when you come to terms with the fact society is wrong you can’t help but still carry the guilt around with you

Edit** added a piece I forgot to add

[lilybug-02]

I got inspired by a stupid Youtube ad about Mythical "Mounts". AND I WANTED ONE. So I drew a cool Beetle...and I want to live in this fantasy world, so I drew two more cool Fantasy pets :)

[yasmeensh]

sharing some concept art from this week. The only non-spoilery stuff haha.

Carrying heavy loads (Tam).

2. Jaya is about 5 years old, which is the age that the front baby teeth start to fall out for adult teeth to grow in. I was mostly drawing her with her teeth fully intact, since most 5 year olds I know are still not changing, but there are some who change as early as 4. So... why not incorporate that into her character design? :)

Cityscape background

Here is an optional background that I did in chalk pastel based off of the cityscape life drawings we did. I didn't realise until I was halfway through that it was supposed to be inspired by our chosen books, however I liked how it was going so I kept going.

It was based off of this shot that I took.
