-Nara na’Noa-

Nara is a Beastkin residing among the rest of her race in the dry Savanahs. She’s is one of the few na’ left meaning she prefers to hunt at night, and she is without a clan making her some what of an outcast. She has a skill in enduring intense attacks and harnessing her rage to empower herself in battle. Outside of battle she is very sweet and friendly. When she is awake she exerts a lot of energy so in her downtime she loves to take cat naps throughout the day. Her only close relative is Maru da’Aru, he is her brother and he has disowned her for another clan. She has made friends with others outside of her race unlike the rest of her people. Her favorite person is a woman from the human kingdom that reads the stars.

Rhys and his party

Rhys: An elf who failed as a soldier turned lunar champion, his goal is to empower his allies and attain the celestial crown.

Sage: Rhys’s best friend. She is an Oracle, a elf specializing in forgotten magics of healing the land. Her Oracle leader disproves of her insistence in wanting to fight.

Eddy: Rhys’s little brother, he studies enchanting. Though he’s weaker than his allies his enchantments make allow him to keep up.

Ifan: Sage’s little brother, being half mountain elf makes him much larger than others. He is very big and tough but has a very immature mind. He studies to become a Stone Squire.

Sayuri: The first friend the elves find once leaving the forest. She is a human and has a knack for reading the stars. No one trusts believes her about the dangers the sky holds for their future.

Ruin: An Incubus from the demon lands called VOID. He has a soft spot for Rhys and his friends and abandons his land to assist them in their journey. A sneaky but very friendly sort.

Nara: A beastkin who has been exiled by her people. She is extremely strong and able to withstand most attacks. She finds comfort in her friends and loves napping.

Deniz: He is a distant relative of the lost Pisceapien race. He is skilled in healing and joins the party to explore more of the world.

Malai: A Scale-Cursed woman skilled in swordplay, archery and a little magic. She fights to defend her people, in joining Rhys she hopes to put a stop to her to the dangers and prejudices her people face.

Guess I’ll post these here too. Here’s my Moon and Son gods. Well they were kinda evolved into gods? If they’d still be called gods.

Ariqua the Piscapian Moon Godess, forfeit her battle against her son rival to save her allies from death and allowing her to live to claim another champion in her honor. She wields a large staff charged with heavy gravity energy (and I entirely didn’t draw it 🤪)

Odas the Dwarven Solar God-King, defeated Ariqua using underhanded tactics. He may have lost his leg in one of their duels but it hasn’t stopped his relentless attacking strategies, even utilizing his cane in combat.

[curaja-strokes]

the two former champions of the moon and sun failed their cycle of appeasing the elements and attaining the Celestial Crown. They now empower a new cycle of champions as somewhat demi gods to their celestial bodies respectively. Ariqua selecting the eldest son of her elven travelling companion and Odas selecting another elven pupil, a clear mental tactic to demoralize her choice.

This flopped on twitter so I’ll post them here since it’s the only truly sfw (I’m following Tumblr rules!) thing I’ve drawn in a minute.

Here’s a genderbent Terra from Final Fantasy 6, I’ve been calling him Terry Branford.

[curaja-strokes]

Here’s a few color ideas for my character, Mila. She’s an assassin from a dystopian future and she is older than she appears. Which color do you like the most? I always imagine her with blonde hair since I first made her but the silver pink looks really good.

Sayuri

A magical dancer that combines deadly magic with acrobatics. The element she fights with reflect her clothing, hair, and makeup.

[curaja-strokes]

I was vague with her description before so I thought I’d add to it. Sayuri is a human from Earth in the year 22XX, she obtains magical powers when she meets the Elves she travels with. She’s in her late 20s and is usually giving wise insightful advice to her slightly younger companions. Though she like to keep to herself she’s always willing to help her friends with any issues they have (though she might scoff and roll her eyes a lot)

As far as her magical skills go… She combines her former gymnast training as a young girl with her new found magical powers. She’s able to dodge enemies attacks with ease, which helps since she is a fragile and can’t handle a heavy hit well. She could stay out of the fray and shoot magic missles from afar but to get her full potential she should be in the front lines evasively bypassing attacks, when she dodges she can either create an arcane clone of her self that will copy her attacks for a short while, slow them down, or create an explosive burst of magical energy. She can also attune her magical damage and clothing color to reflect it for whatever is best for the situation she is in, arcane(magenta) for being flat magic damage no one can resist, fire(red/orange) for heavy damage over time, ice(blue) for slowing enemies down, and lightning(yellow) for damaging multiple enemies and stunning them.

I also redid her outfit in purple shades too, the first could replace her default arcane look and the latter could be a spooky dark element, who knows?

[curaja-strokes]

That new look i posted is an update to this style. I’m not doing the color changing bit anymore though, it doesn’t fit the teams aesthetic.

[curaja-strokes]

The first thing I’ve drawn that wouldn’t get flagged since tumblr died ✌️No one on twitter cared lmao.

I haven’t drawn Sayuri in such a long time, I had this idea for an outfit and just wanted to do more practice drawing on my iPad.

[curaja-strokes]

Hmm looks like they eased back on the censorship, a lot of my drawings were unflagged. There may be hope after all. Idk I’m not really feeling twitter. I can’t type up long winded walls of texts that no one will read like I can here :3 also can’t like specifically tag every thing separately. It’s just different.

I mean I’ll make it work if I gotta but I’d like to stay here if possible.

[curaja-strokes]

Sooo, I’m not sure how things are gonna go down with tumblr but a lot of my stuff got flagged. If you want to stick around with me I’ll be on twitter for now

https://twitter.com/CurajaCaster

It’s not the best platform for art but it’s easier to interact. I’m gonna be losing a lot of followers/mutuals/friends from this (thanks tumblr) so I’m really upset about it but yeah. I think im about to just dump a bunch of art on there rq, i just hate self promoting and like over posting. I still dunno if i want to make this twitter my default one then make a separate one for art again but at the risk of losing so much rn i’ll just stick with the one.

[curaja-strokes]

I wanted to draw a bit of Jacque since it’s rare i draw him and I need to practice his design, especially his larger form. I also wanted to draw out his transformation from his tiny/fairy form to his big dog form. Little more info on him... Jacque is bound to protect and guide Rhys; he can shift forms depending on what is needed but he usually defaults to his smaller form. In his smaller form he’s a lot more feisty and will zip around and even pull on someone to get their attention. If he has to fight he relies on the surprise of his brute strength. His tiny jaw packs a powerful bite when it’s needed. In his larger form he loses his hotheadedness and becomes a little more timid but also cautious of himself and Rhys. Rhys is able to ride Jacque so he takes care to carry him to safety. In a scrap he mostly relies on Rhys to fight for them both but will also utilize magic to shield themselves or blast enemies with lunar beams. Also random but if they were pokemon, tiny form would be fairy/dark and big form would probably be normal/dark. Idk I always think of that when I draw him.

[curaja-strokes]

Had time to doodle at work so here’s a design for a male spriggan I had. He’s in his resting state, where they root themselves to the ground. I usually draw a mushroom and nuts where his crotch would be buuut can’t get that wild at work.

[curaja-strokes]

Just gonna post these cause they are officially scrapped. I drew them for intentionally for halloween buuut lmao im a little behind. The concept has changed and I’m just not going to get around to coloring it. Also I planned on it looking like a painting but i suck at painting.
