Strawberry Fields Forever - The Beatles in the style of Disco Elysium

"Back in the Commune of Revachol Well the Yugo-Graad girls really knock me out They leave the Occident behind And Mirova girls make me sing and shout That Samara's always on my my my my my my my my my mind"

I was hanging out with a friend of mine listening to the Beatles and sketching them, later a pal told me the drawings looked like videogame portraits. That's when I knew what had to be done

I bit of exploration into the large set of related monotheistic religions found in me an my friend's worldbuilding project "Eia-Nen".

Kharahk is basically the oldest and largest religion in our setting, having been founded by a long lost ancient empire and having splintered into many different sects and branches over the millennia. Especially after the Impact made large swaths of the continent from which this belief system hails into an uninhabitable desert, separating the two sides of the massive continent almost entirely, the different branches of the faith only diverged more.

Depicted here are various priests and shamans of the 7 main branches of Kharakh

Some mermaid designs for my project, it's mermay after all

Mermaids are a creature found in the Great Archipelago of Vereias. Highly intelligent and social, they are common all over the vast seas of the continent with many different species and subspecies inhabiting the wide variety of environments found there.

A character I made for a recent medieval themed OCT (original character tournament), unfortunately I did not make it past round one, which you can read here:

https://cubari.moe/read/imgur/r0n5tCt/1/1/ Still a fun design/character, that I thought I should share character ref sheet somewhere.

A couple more beastfolk cultural designs. These are minotaur, large semi bipedal herbivores.

Uplifted to sapience through a similar process as most of the other beastfolk on the island of Gliozep. The minotaur are common in the southern grasslands and inhabit about half the island. They are large and fearsome, though gentle in nature. Being pure herbivores a lot of their day is spent farming, eating and pondering.

The Southern Nomads in inhabit the coastal regions, moving along the coast in loose bands or herds of up to around 300 individuals.

The Golmatrem or "Gardenmakers" are part of the Grand Coalition and their territory serves as the bread basket for the whole operation, as their knowledge and skill in agriculture is unmatched.

The MorMnriNrimoa or "The United Alliance of Summervalley" have the largest territory on the island. While most minotaur have a friendly disposition by nature, they are devoted to a pacifist belief system, only inflicting harm to others if absolutely necessary for self defense.

Various designs for a few different cultures of centaur in my worldbuilding project.

Centaur are a mysterious creature that emerged on the island of Gliozep in the early years after the Impact. Their exact origin and base elements are unknown, but they are not thought to be similar to other beastfolk on the island.

Centaur are adaptive, nomadic omnivores, living in small bands of 20 or so individuals. Usually around 3 or 4 males with the rest being females and children. These bands meet up during seasonal gatherings where they merge into large herds of up to several hundred people. These gatherings can occur for a variety of reasons and there the males will compete with each other for mating access and social status. The process of competition is highly ritualized and attended by the entire herd. This can last for over a month and determines many important factors for the herd going forward, such as partnerships, status, leadership, etc.

Creature design for my worldbuilding project. These are Cynocephalites, a type of sapient canid from the continent known as Vereias "the Great Archipelago" where The Impact occurred and magic is most dense, uplifted through magical means in the last 1000 years before the current date of the setting. They are native to the island of Gliozep, which is the largest landmass in the continent. Semi bipedal carnivores living in complex social hierarchies of up to around 200 individuals, based on familial relation, seniority, physical dominance, gossip, social care, etc, the Cynocephalites are spread all over the island. Generally they are extremely egalitarian amongst each other, but can sometimes have difficulties discerning the sapience of other species.

I was inspired by @iris-of-the-lambs 's domesticated porcine designs and decided to give my own spin on the concept for my worldbuilding project. These beasties are native to the island of Rydumfir and sometimes serve as mounts and beasts of burden for the orcs that live there.

Some little bonus beastfolks. The badlanders are independent tribes of ursines and cynocephalites or "wolflikes", which reside west of the Grand Coalition. They are generally quite hostile to outsiders, especially towards humans/elves, though some more open communities that do trade and stuff do exist on the northern coast of the badlands.

Not all cultures in my worldbuilding project are human or human in origin. A variety of beastfolk, animals uplifted through various magical means, exist.

Here are some talking bears, native to the island of Gliozep, the largest landmass in the Great Archipelago Vereias. Generally they are organized into matriarchal warrior clans, kingdoms and monastic orders.

Crafty, strong, prideful, Ursines generally prefer their independence and don't often get along well with other beastfolk or humans. These five dominions are part of the Great Coalition however, having joined the pact when when it was being formed in resistance to the rising threat of the Iron Horde, some hundred years ago.

Since then the threat has been long defeated and the dominions have stayed in the coalition. Tensions are mounting however, giant talking bears are not always the easiest to get along with and fractures are slowly splitting up the coalition into various camps. Unfortunately right around the time as new threats are emerging all around them, in the east the New Kingdom is expanding its territory and in the west the Hiemenians, who have recently discovered the Great Archipelago, have tried to establish their first outposts where they can.

A few more redesigns of some old cultural attire concepts for my long running worldbuilding project "Eia-Nen". These are folks from the eastern part of the mega continent of Karda'Moheiza, in one of the more populated regions of that landmass, bordering the Cradle Sea.

The Ix Kingdom is a large and powerful, but unstable political entity that rose to power many years after the Impact, it has vassalized most of it's neighbors like Rivalos, which is a much older and traditionalist culture. The Miastras are a once powerful nation that has been fractured into different relatively smaller, constantly bickering fiefs

[lobatus]

I reworked some old cultural attire designs for my worldbuilding project.

These are semi-nomadic people living in the far north east of the mega continent. Hardy folk, survivalists, freedom fighters and warriors who follow eclectic and esoteric forms of ancient shamanism. They are well at home in what are considered by others to be rugged and inhospitable environments, cold deserts, arctic steppe, taiga, high in the mountains, etc.

They love a good dice game and a drink

Some worldbuilding stuff I did recently

Dragon riders of the Third Aetherial Core Empire

The base form “common wyrm” or Zra Trax has a simple bodyplan with 4 normal legs, it has little to no magical ability and it has only low intelligence.

The aerial form “winged wyrm” or Verrex Trax is kept by only a few houses and requires extensive and complicated procedures to be performed throughout the lifetime of the creature; it has two wings and two legs. They are moderately magical and intelligent. 

The third form “serpentine wyrm” or Hlilali Trax is the rarest, kept by only a small house, with only a few adult individuals in their possession. The creatures require extensive resources, skill, ritual and religious practice to develop into this form and are highly magical and intelligent beings. They can move freely in water and the air

A little scene from my worldbuilding project. Kiri is a functionary of the Grand Coalition, who is tasked with gathering information on the goings on of the various groups within. Here she is interviewing Hazal, a centaur of high birth. They seem to be in some disagreement about boring stuff like taxation and territory acquisition or something
