Geteau⦠you are going through a whole transitional period, def gonna slay in her newest design when I make a proper ref tee hee
First image is her first design, when I was really getting into it, had a lot of fun, at the time. But then looking over it I changed it after the role-play she was tied into went through a big change, so obviously she had to too, but now looking on it felt she could be better.
Her latest design, the third leans into a more comfortable suiting for her, modest while being soft. Also redesigning her lets me adjust the spidery elements.
I am also working on writing out for her latest storyline stuff, I love giving my characters things to do, also means I need to redo sprinkles, her beloved fuzzy spider baby.

Puttin this bitch in the blender soon teehee, had some better ideas run over me for the overall au, especially as I no longer interact with the folks that I had origonally worked with toward Geteau's stuff, so its getting cleaned up and polished finally :>
Gonna be dubbing it TheRoaring20s
Finishing this up as it is now was more so spurred on by frustration, genuine frustration atp, wugh but you know what, still product. Formatted a bit differently as well then what it was on the last post.
Tiandi
For nearly a millennium, Tiandi has remained nothing more than a hushed whisper of history. The land that was once open and thriving is now shrouded in silence, a result of grief from its people and current ruler, with the loss of both Fenghui and Jinzhuo, the hearts of the people had been shattered leaving what felt to be an irreparable wound. Once thriving with its trade and hospitality, Tiandi now stands resolute in its isolation, refusing all foreign entries for diplomacy or change. What remains beyond now since their last spoken words to outside lands remains veiled within its lands as a guarded fact.
JÄ«nlóng Spire (éé¾)
The Mainland
Jinlong Spire stands as the hub of Tiandi, bustling with its civilization. The sprawling city stretches from the core of the island it sits upon to near the edges of the coasts, serving as a home for Dragon and Monster who wish to not align with any particular elemental domain or simply prefer the city. Thriving on its commerce, its market streets are always alive with trade and business.Ā
ZhĒngdƬ Terrace (ē§å°)
The Farmlands
Zongdi Terrace is a lush and fertile expanse of land, its rolling hills blanketed in thriving vegetation. Forests tower and weave through the land providing shaded spacing for homes to nestle in the protection of the trees, while within the open fields rests farmland that yields bountiful harvests. Often markets and shops are buried within the dug-out hills, making for tight use of the space available.
LiĆŗyĆŗn Crossing (ęµäŗ)
The Water Village
Within the outskirts of Tiandi, upon its west side, Liuyun Crossing forms a natural barrier of fragmented pieces of land that serves as a gateway and a border to outsiders. The village is built upon the land but encroaches into the waters, built upon wooden stilts to perch them up away from the mossy wet. Wooden walkways and bridges thread the small pieces of land together creating a connection that served to unify the masses.Ā
XuÄyĆ”o Hollow (éŖē¶)
The Frosted Mountains
Xueyao Hallow is a land of ice and towering peaks capped with snow. The deeper into the land one ventures the more harsh the climate becomes, with towering slopes and ice painting the land civilization is sparse. Rather, for those who donāt care for such things, to the center of the land settle a city upon ice, housed by dragons of frost, underneath the city sits the deep caverns that act as a sanctuary for those who wish to hide away from the chill, an open berth of rock bustling with life.Ā
Yanshu is a vast, ever-changing desert, its dunes sculpted and reshaped by careless winds. Barren of lush vegetation, the land is punctured by jagged rock formations and the remains of ruinsāsome left to dwindle as the winds eat at them, others altered to act as shelters. The city of Yanshu is tucked within the jagged stone, the rock protecting the bustling streets built high with strong sandstone.Ā
WÅ«lóng (ä¹é¾)
The Underwater City
Beneath the shifting tides, hidden in the depths of the sea, lies Wulongāan underwater city sculpted of coral and stone. Its structures rise in spiraling towers, stretched from the ocean floor toward the surface yet never quite reaching. Bioluminescent crystals and reflective glass guide light from the surface, casting a glow within the abyssal trenches.
HÄiyĒ (é»ä»Ŗ)
The Grave of Spirits and Gods
The smallest of Tiandiās lands, Heiyi serves as a sacred graveyard for spirits, both of ancient beings and the gods. It is a place of final rest, where souls reside to pass into the embrace of Shilong, one of two gods who oversee the afterlife. The air is thick with lingering magic, carrying the scent of charred incense and old rites-an unsettling presence to those who arenāt familiar with the darker aspects of spiritualism.Ā
The Inferno Canyon (å°ē±å³”č°·)
The Heart
A crevice of fire and fury, The Inferno Canyon is a chasm of molten rock and jagged obsidian, the surface shimmers with the glow of lava that reflects from below. The air all but trembles with heat distorting the horizon and making the canyon an intimidating place for those whoa are unprepared. Yet, within the depths of the cavern reside monster and dragon alike, those who are naturally built to withstand the harsh climate.
I went ahead and put together some written information going over the land of Drakosfalza, a testament to me choosing to do something other than finishing the stuff for Tiandi. Sadly no images again, but soon I'll have something as I go over it all.
Drakosfalza
The Fallen Land of The Dragons
Mainland
Olympus
A grand city built upon the ruins of what once was a large battlefield, a fight for dominance that had taken place many millenniums before, the city is considered the central piece of the land. It is built upon towering spirals of buildings and houses many vast buildings of an āimportantā business.Ā
Elythion
The more wealthy residents, those who are under the name of a house, or who work within higher businesses within Olympus, will reside if they choose to stay outside the city. The streets are commonly built similar to Olympus and connect to the main city, built with spiraling buildings and adorned with more expensive luxuries.
Olympus and Elythion fashions share many similarities, including the use of more expensive materials such as gold, silver, and silk. They commonly feature chitons, tunics, and togas with embroidery. Wealthier residents often have their horns adorned with jewelry and occasionally encrusted with expensive materials.Ā
Xetheris
The less wealthy and more crowded populous reside outside of Olympus. It houses the less āeducatedā and is seen as below those who hold more wealth and supposedly āvalueā. Monsters and other such beings are more often found living in the residence, but dragons can also be found there. Commonly, the streets bustle with life of a less rowdy kind, the people kindling well with one another. The paths carry the smell of baked goods and occasional smoke from residencies.Ā
The less wealthy populous within Xetheris are more practical in their fashion, and less flashy. Often it features simple tunics and robes made of cheaper materials, dyed with earthy tones, and or faded and reused materials. Any sort of decoration falls to hand-crafted jewelry made from bronze, bone, and dyed leather. Horn ornaments are seen as less common unless marital.Ā
Coastal Areas
Thalassion
Residing along the sea bank sits a small town known for its fishing and farming of sealife, more often than not the buildings are made of sandstone and dried wood. Some of the housing and buildings stretch out into the waters residing on raised platforms to keep them out of water and are connected via wooden bridges.Ā
Tunics and exomis are made from linen, often adorned with patches of other such fabrics and adorned with shells and glass beading. Jewelry made from glass and shells is common as well as some wearing older and worn netting.
Drakispros
Taking up most of the open lands is Drakispros, a territory commonly housed by drakes of an earthen and plat magic type who use their magics and bulky builds to aid in the farming and plowing of many harvests. The land is large and commonly year round some kind of produce is being farmed, as well as livestock farming being held up with the many animals raised and bred to be able to give fruit to the people of the lands.Ā
Fashion features Simple tunics, sandals made from leather, and on occasion, hats made from straw to bid away the sun. during the colder months, himations are often worn to bite away the cold. Often the drakes will be adorned with heavier metals, that act as decorative pieces that hold engravings featuring a type of plant, or they act as tools to aid in the pulling of heavier tools such as plows and wagons.Ā
Forested Areas
Dysmos
The forest that surrounds the lands of Drakosfalza is commonly bustling with wildlife but a more outskirts region closer towards Ebonmire holds a population of wood elves, fae dragons, and other such beings of a similar magic and fashion. The land is seen as untamed and those who āruleā over the land are taken unseriously for how they are perceived, hooligans who believe in the wealth and life of the first and nature. Especially so by Olympus.Ā
Clothing while can be similar to Olympus on occasion tends to feature more silks. Fabrics and armor feature engravings similar to markings upon fairy wings along with beads made from wood, resins, or crystals giving way to a more noisy fashion. Often dragons have their horns adorned with materials shaped to mimic vines and other such growing plants. The feature of plants in hair is quite common as well as the use of bone and feathers, and other such waste for fashion.
Ebonmire
The area of Ebonmire is split up into two distinct areas, the waste and then the ruins of what once was the city of Thessarion, a city once known for its magics and odd culture, till the war had brought havoc leaving nothing more than a scarred land and ruin.
Cindral Mire
A wasteland of ash and fire, bubbling with acidic waters within the open chunks of dirt and what once was lakes of water. Embedded within the grounds are chunks of dark crystal that radiate a sense of unease. Spread out are ruins of what once were simple homes and buildings, suggesting farmlands that now were nothing more than charred remains and ash. The air, heavy and pungent with the scent of acid brings forth an aching burn that sears the lungs with every breath, leaving an itch that clings underneath the scales of the beasts that walk the land.Ā
Thessarionās Ruins
Within the remains of a once-promising city lies a ravaged waste of desperation and fierce survival of those who fought to still stand. The area brings a feeling of a lost government, replaced by those who have ripped through to their position making a new form of government no longer in cohorts with Olympus. Within the crumbled ruins lay both scrapped together townships and buildings that had managed to survive the war such as the main citadel of Thessarion that now acts as a reminder of the war and a new sign of their rise.Ā
Overall information
With the ruin of land resources such as food and clean water are hard to come by, the latter being a luxury if anything, and the first a fight. āClean foodā is often withheld and presented as expensive due to the difficulty of either importing such goods or even raising them with the harsh cast of shadow on the land. Due to this many breeds of dragon, even ones of herbivore diets have grown to take on the act of consuming those who arenāt fit to survive, smaller dragons, and even those of who are bigger bringing forth a feral environment. Anything else such as vegetation tends to rot quickly within the soil leaving food unsafe to consume but the people of Ebonmire must do what they need to live.Ā
The fashion of the people often features scrapped together clothing and tends to be stained with soot and in some state of ruin, armor and such seemingly never pristine. Many powerful figures house missing horns and armor mended together with differing sets bringing forth odd changes in material. Some who are with lost horns tend to replace them with dark stone or bone, bringing contrast and a show of their resilience.
I've been writing so much for this stuff and need to dump it grrr, nothing quite plot significant but just something.
Some info for stuff I'm working on, most deep dive I've done in a while, will be making up some drawings to accompany soon ^^
Tea within the East lands has become more than just a simple beverage, especially in the presence of others. It has become a ritual of connection, often shared with others during gatherings with family, friends, or simply individuals seeking to catch up. At events with a more formal sense, such as meetings for business, or parties teas of an expensive variety tend to be customary, such as something more pricey or rare to reflect the occasionās significance.
Floral teas, in particular, have become more valuable and are frequently offered as gifts to loved ones, cherished companions, those being courted, or during bonding rituals. However, they can be something simply shared between those who are already bonded. They tend to be more expensive than most other kinds of tea,
Tea pets themselves act as more than simple ornaments at the table; they are seen as lifelong companions. They always accompany the host during tea ceremonies no matter the event. Many tea pets are gifted at pivotal moments of oneās life, Tea pets are handcrafted by specialists and are made to either be an animal for oneās zodiac or elements. They are gifted with the expectation of staying with one during the entirety of their lifespan and will commonly be placed near oneās grave upon their passing.
Commonly Tea pets for children will be gifted upon their maturity as a representation of tradition and personal identity, Tea pets are also a common courting or Bonding ceremony gift.
Tea sets, at the least ones gifted by family, have been seen as more than a simple tool for serving tea but rather can hold significance to connections of family, one's heritage, and the ever-changing journey of life.
A household owns a single set until a significant event occurs such as a bonding ceremony. Tea sets that are seen as more valuable due to their traditional meaning, sets that are owned by families to be passed down are traditionally bought and then kept for years, during bonding ceremonies the sets are then broken and the pieces are used to create a new set using the older pieces in addition of newer material, in cases where the family has more then one child the set is divided and the pieces are saved till the others either wed or they come to a certain age.
The tradition is to represent the tight bonds of family and the continuation and bonding of new and old traditions, it allows one to keep their family line close in a way while also allowing for the heirloom to stay sacred to oneās family.
Typically, as is with tea pets, the sets are made to reflect oneself and values. The designs, materials, and patterns can go to show and often do hold spiritual meaning. During Tea gatherings, the hostās tea set is seen as an extension of oneself being offered to open up to their guests allowing a connection and show of hospitality towards their guests.
Hehā¦. I got some more doodles and like ideas down below.
Iām like super duper excited with these silly goobers, more like a fell goth punk kinda stuff with them, I gotta like actually string out the ideas and may do that with doodles rather then words, Iām not home with my pc so typing is like genuinely a headache at times šāØ
IM ALSO USING CLIPSTUDIO RIGHT NOW!!! Very fun and am having a good time with it, just am using the free trial at the time though, I might buy it considering I love some of the brushes that Iāve downloaded and the blending is immaculate with them -mwah!
