I make a mix of fanworks and original pieces, depending on what I’m more interested in at the time, as well as both digital and traditional art (though it’s mostly digital).
I’m pretty sporadic in terms of when I post and may occasionally upload content that may be sensitive to some, including but not limited to:
Finally threw my hat in the ring and made a TFSMP OC. Yes I know there is already and earth mage. This is different. If pokemon can have a rock type and a ground type I can have a sand mage when there's already and earth mage.
No idea if I'm actually going to do anything with him or even draw him again (the house tigris RP stuff looks fun but I'm a bit timid and would probably have to set up a separate blog for that) but here's some Lago facts:
He hails from the town of Portal in a far away land called Yonder. The town got its name from the mysterious portal which its river springs from. The portal is too small for anything beyond pocket change to fit through and water is constantly pouring out, so nobody really knows what's on the other side, but supposedly, supernatural energies leak out through it and living things may change in unpredictable ways when drinking water too close to the source. The portal always glows a soft cyan (though its not visible in daylight)
He learned to read and write in his early childhood, but once he was old enough to carry a pickaxe, he was sent to work as a miner to try and financially support his family
He's 23, but he is a rough 23. He's never been asked to show ID in his life.
Most critterfolk are pretty small and Lago, at roughly 4'6, is no exception.
His dragon's name is Gil, named after his best friend back home, Gilbert Münster. He is named as such due to an in joke both of them have comparing each other to animals, especially ones they think are "ugly," though they only do it because they're both good friends and both critterfolk. Such comparisons would be obscenely offensive if a human made them. Additionally, dragon!Gil is, especially as a baby, rivaling Pinecone in the weight department.
When he wasn't working or dealing with shit at home, he was helping Gil farm and forage various "herbal remedies" to sell to people who can't otherwise tell which mushrooms get you high and which ones make you die… and maybe also sampling the goods (just a little… maybe more than a little)
I don't have solid ideas for his magical abilities, but I've got a few (maybe I can workshop some better names later, I am not sold on any of these):
-Sand blast: Good ol' fashioned pocket sand with a little more of an oomph. Just a straight stream of sand at skin-ripping speeds straight from the fingertips.
-Sandstorm: A small area around him becomes blanketed in darkness, blinding and slowing anyone inside of it. Allows for quick and easy escapes and potentially disorienting opponents
-Dust Devil: I think of two versions of this. The first is something like a grappling spell, allowing him to keep people held in a swirling torrent of sand. The second is a movement ability that allows him to hover in the air over a vortex of sand Taz Looney Tunes style.
-Shifting Sands: Teleportation spell, allowing him to turn into a cloud of dust and rematerialize some distance away
His predecessor, in my mind, likely died being ripped apart by their own sandstorm, literally sanded down to the bone. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
He's romance-repulsed aroace, but due to the culture he grew up in, doesn't know that's a thing and insists that he's "normal" in a world full of "strange lovey-dovey nonsense." He's also kind of convinced (partially due to personal experience) that true love isn't real and marriage is just about having kids. If you asked him, he'd say he's straight, and wouldn't be comfortable being honest about his lack of attraction to anybody.
He ran away from home at 16 after he came home one day to find both of his parents poisoned and is being perused on suspicion of their murder. To this day, he doesn't drink tea.
He has a very "boys don't cry" mentality and tends to treat men he sees as "weak" or "whiny" with open disdain. And while he can be quick to fly off the handle or even get physically violent, he's deeply disgusted by the idea of a man attacking someone he perceives as innocent or defenseless.
His moral alignment is "pay me"
I didn't write any of this down beforehand. I'm kind of making shit up as I go.
There's more to say, but this is an art blog, not a yap blog, so...
