This is me catching up with the challenge I'm doing this month - kind of. It was supposed to be "casual vs formal wear" - but I ran out of time after barely finishing the formal part. Well, goodnight everyone, I guess _._

🌿 Neem and Aspen Evergreen 🌿

Brothers and heirs to the chief position of the Bird Communities. More info under the cut!

Aspen Evergreen

Forest Elf from the North.

His village got destroyed by fierce fires, or so is thought, when he was just a baby. His mother, in an attempt to save him, hid him in the roots of an aspen tree, where he was found by the bird chief and his wife. They adopted and raised him as on of their own. The “Council of Elders” from the village didn’t like the idea of having an elf in their “royal” family, but agreed to it as long as his older brother, Neem, was the one taking the Chief position after his father.

Tragically, Aspen’s family died in an accident at the eastern borders, when they went to investigate an unrecorded phenomenon that was spoiling their crops and waters and killing their forests. The true nature of their sudden death remains a mystery. Many lives got lost that day, by something people have started to call “The End of Times”. No one knows what this illness is exactly, but it’s been slowly consuming the world for centuries.

This left Aspen in charge of the city at the age of 25, when he was chosen as the next Chief by the Council, despite their doubts. The Council is group of old fashioned bird citizens that are slow with their actions. Most of the city's decisions have to go through them before getting approved.

Like his brother, Aspen was trained to be a Forest Ranger and spent the nights patrolling the outskirts of the city and keeping it safe. Nowadays, even as Chief of the birds and father of two, Aspen still works as a Ranger in the night. A task that was given to him by The Council to keep him occupied. He has demonstrated once and again, through the more than 50 years in charge, that he’s more than capable of ruling the city, even if he never wanted the chance to prove it.

The Elders kept a critical eye on him, and didn’t approve of his relationship with the Forest Spirit Elowen. An union they thought would bring them misery. That’s why, at 35, he got married behind the city’s back and only his closest friends know about it.

Neem Evergreen

Firstborn and heir to the chief position in the bird communities.

Neem is a gentle soul who's always willing to help others. When he was ten, his parents adopted an elf baby they found in the forest. He quickly became attached to his now younger brother, who they named Aspen and protected him from the judgemental eyes of others. Aspen's favorite napping spot was under his brother's wings.

Despite his training to become a Forest Ranger from a young age, Neem always had a great interest for healing. He started his studies and graduated as top of the class at 30. There he met Linden, daughter of the most renowned healer of the village. They fell in love and became engaged after graduating.

But the wedding never came.

Neem died in an accident at the eastern borders, when he went with his parents to investigate an unrecorded phenomenon that was spoiling their crops and waters and killing their forests. This left Aspen as chief of the village at the age of 25.

I hope you don’t mind a bit of lore about my characters! Neem barely appears in the story besides mentions and flashbacks, as his death happened years prior to the beginning, but Aspen is a really important character for the plot! You might remember him from the drawings with Life (big black cat).

Toxic Love

Ammon and who is now named Tiberius (don't judge me, he was a shitty roman emperor first before a space captain). I've got quite the story planned for Ammon, and the character's history is coming together. So far, I only know that I want Tiberius to be obsessive, like NBC's Hannibal. The whole series is meant to be a mix between past and future, little aspects of ancient history and a cyberpunk future, or a post third world war history.

Alrighty I know I never post anything but I decided to post a short summary of my webcomic:

35 MILLION YEARS AGO, a meteorite fell and dispersed on an island now known as the United States of America. As recent, those in proximity to the crystals emerged as crystallized creatures, attacking anyone who is deemed a threat. So in 1983, the government launched a secret soldier project training groups of extraordinary children to defend the nation against the onslaughts… despite the will of many.

39 years later, one child super-soldier named Ame breaks out of the armed facility and stumbles upon a college dropout, Leo, who’s encounter will change the course of world history. Can Ame and peers escape their fates and save humanity or will the reign of extraterrestrial terror persist?

Spoilers below for a picture of my cover photo for the story.

New chapter of my original siren story up on Wattpad! I post every Saturday :)

Of Sirens Deep - Chapter 10 (on Wattpad) https://www.wattpad.com/1349204680-of-sirens-deep-chapter-10?utm_source=web&utm_medium=tumblr&utm_content=share_reading&wp_uname=AuroraRose2081&wp_originator=2G%2BO2YSVZTqZENEWRHckRovuWOUhcGGqdqxEOYDNZn2gR12CTaMis02QB5EXQYb%2FP%2FPt8bu8jGC%2FxrOtDK9J%2BIpZU4dnljaorRkYckruIgzq%2FzEuB2jaz%2BplAJ7L8gAU [updates on Saturdays!] 18-year-old Aria hadn't ever seen a siren before. She only knew what was written in books or said in stories. Sirens were monsters, simple as that. But after her Pa dies at sea, Aria inherits a mysterious artifact belonging to her past. Something that not only shines light on her previously unquestioned heritage, but also brings incredible danger to her door. Thrown into an unexpected adventure on the high sea and accompanied by a crew of sirens just like her, Aria learns that her childhood was built on the lies of one man: her own father. A pirate who's selfishness may have singularly set into motion the extinction of sirens and the downfall of their world. It's now up to her to decide how she fits into a tangled web of mystical ocean powers and curses. But Aria also must choose what family, love and trust means, forced to come to terms with who she is, both inside and out.

[jojaydoodles]

it was supposed to be an entire scene with more characters in it, but I only had a little over 2 hours to make it, so... I ran overtime anyway, and I don't know how I'll wake up in the morning =.=

here it is, my first (and late) entry for an OC challenge on Instagram 1st day: Introduction

In this scene, the duo come across soldiers and my tired of life hero tries to explain the presence of his unusual companion. He frequently says she's a lunatic in search of a cure, with varying results.

I will try to catch up with the challenge later this week.

The Main Trio

These are the main characters of my story! Orris, the elven princess, her unusual companion Canna (fish) and their guide Fibian (frog). More info under the cut! 🌿✨

💛 Orris: Hotheaded, determined and very stubborn. She loves food and wine and will do anything to avoid a bath. Her main goal is fixing her staff and proving herself worthy by saving the world (she/her)

❤️ Canna: Naive, sweet and always willing to help others. Their only family are the two fish siblings for whom they’re searching for a new pond, but none seem to be worthy of their approval. They’re loving and lovable (they/them)

💚 Fibian: A laidback gardener who helps his father with their potion shop for travelers. He loves nature and knows the forest like the back of his hand; he owns a magical fanny pack where he can fit anything. He really thinks he’s taller than Orris only because his eyes are higher and he has to look down at her (he/him)

- Summary of the story -

When the Elven Princess, Orris, discovers that the ancient staff her family has been guarding for centuries is the only way to stop the End of Times, she decides to take action into her own hands. After the refusal of her parents to do something, pleading that the staff is broken, she takes it and runs into the forest. There she meets Canna, a young fish who just gained sentience and is looking for a new pond for their siblings, as theirs got destroyed in the fight between The Princess and the palace guards on her way out.

These unlikely friends swear to help each other in the face of danger and embark on the dangerous task to fix the staff and heal the world form the disease that’s slowly consuming it.

Their first stop is a cottage in the depths of the forest where it is said that a wise frog who knows the secrets of the world lives. Mr. Kallydrias, a retired historian from the capital who now owns a potion selling shop with his son, is an old friend of the royal family and the most knowledgeable man on history and ancient artifacts.

His advice for The Princess sets her on a new adventure searching for some “Sunlight Fountains” that spread across the continent, their only chance to fix the staff. Fibian, the young son of the historian, eagerly offers himself as a guide to help them cross the vast forest and reach the nearest fountain, located in the city of the birds.

Where will their adventures lead them?

[theferrymanstory]

My oc Moth (right) with her very cursed and chewed up husband, Lord Correb, the ferrier of souls for the county of Korraban. In the book there is geographic-based grim reapers. From my story The Ferryman! 60+ chapters are available to read currently, more will appear as I finish them

(This was made on arches hot pressed 100% cotton paper, with watercolors and ink, and then digitally edited in procreate.)

I don't think I ever actually posted this one

Pig morph I made years ago for Gothbelly

[aretmaw]

A small interaction between two co-workers and main characters in my next book, Strata-45 and Alabastar. They're friends, but the friendship is somewhat one-sided when all Strata wants to do is finish her work.

[phoofoz]

a while ago I had a dream about three different characters, two who were brothers and one random theft girl, and the trio goes on an adventure but they'd have to watch out for the orc king who hates those who cross his lands.
