WIP pinned post thing because I keep forgetting about that..!
I'll organize it a bit better over time but for now, it's a good place to put links and tags and stuff:
I finally made one of those carrd accounts so people can more easily find all the places I might post (tumblr is def kind of the main place these days though.) https://37viggen.carrd.co/
Also all art posts are tagged under "#Jet Art" - working on setting up a separate blog page for people who want to follow just the art, under @37viggen !
Alronzo is still fairly young for a mursaat, as he was in his 20s when Bava Nisos fell. However, before that happened, he had been imprisoned for some crimes against his own people (shortest story, he helped some prisoners escape as he wasn't too fond of being cruel). He had been stripped of his wings and most of his powers, and thrown into a stone prison at the edge of the city, where the only way in or out was thru a mursaat mirror. When Bava Nisos fell and the mirror network was broken, he was stuck for a very long time in his prison.
While the mirror network was broken, it didn't mean the mirror couldn't still be used by...others. The mirror had instead connected into a random area in the mists, altho Alronzo couldn't tell this at first, since all he ever saw was darkness in the mirror. One day tho, something finally peered back at him thru the mirror. Alronzo, desperate for any kind of escape, made a pact with the fiery dragonfiend Solrax, and the two are now connected with their life forces. Solrax had heard from its sibling Orrax that Tyria supposedly had a many great feasts to be had, but neither had been there yet to try em.
With Solrax imbuing Alronzo with power, he was finally able to escape his prison. However, he was still mostly stripped of his original mursaat powers, and couldn't glide around like before, or go invisible, and other such skills. It was frustrating having to learn a new set of skills, especially since the world had changed quite a bit since he had last seen it. Doing what he had seen the slaves do, he put one foot in front of the other, and learned to walk.
Alronzo did have a simple glamour spell to help with interacting with other races, altho it wasn't perfect, as his feet and hands still betrayed what he was, but in general it was enough to get around. He did eventually get a manticore cub that he raised to be his mount, named Bernard, which became his main mode of transportation.
I say bit of a write up, then I write several paragraphs. RIP. There's obviously way more to his story, but maybe when I get the colors done.
I did a grand total of 8 art things that could be considered "done" this year, everything else is stuck in wip hell or just something stupid not worth posting. Just felt like a pretty meh year. But I'm also stupidly slow with art, so whatever I guess. Happy new year.
Last but not least, colored version of "The Thorn Knight" for @pythosart
I love chaos knights so much and was STOKED to find her on artfight! Colored after the event ended ofc but I really liked this paint scheme, had to give it a go
Putting these in the same post because I drew em on the same canvas. Was TOO SLOW to get them done in time for the end of artfight but I'm queueing up the colored ones next!
