Death Claims His Champion

(info under cut)

hrgfhvngn i went into a trance for about four hours drawing this

the drawing depicts some OCs of mine, Ifre (the god of death/time,) and Walker (or Walks On Time Itself, Ifre's champion.)

Once Walker was old enough to comprehend what was happening to them, Ifre made his presence known, revealing himself to the young cat. Walker, orphaned before their eyes were open, was promised survival by Ifre to their mother's spirit, on the condition that his champion-to-be would help him settle a cosmic bet against his sisters once they were older.

these are characters from my personal worldbuilding project, Athzurea, which has been a work of passion and love since i was a preteen. i am endlessly happy to gush about them or their world, and my asks are open to anyone who wants to hear about them!

this won't mean anything to anybody but me BUT i was looking through my current sketchbook and i've decided to share this ketch of some very special characters of mine

from left to right is firewhirl (he/him, ash wolf,) sky (she/her, gryphon,) and radiance (he/him, unicorn.) they were the best of friends. up to a point, at least.

working on color and pattern variation for the mountain gryphons of Athzurea

these northern mountain gryphons, or "royal" gryphons, are experimental but meant to represent the diversity present in mountain gryphon genetics. while not EXPLICITLY linked to royal heritage, blue feathers are generally considered a signifier of it.

after the age of war, entirely blue gryphons (like the center-left design pictured) became much less common, and the mad king Crevasse was one of the last truly blue kings of the Skyfeather empire.

MORE WALKER BECAUSE IVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THEM A LOT LATELY

old oc art redraw time

the original drawing is probably at LEAST five years old, and Walker has come a long way since then.

here's the unshaded version

been thinking about my athzurea ocs pretty much nonstop the last couple days. here's some unlikely friends (vulture, sapling, and inferno) passing by a depiction of legendary heroes who once betrayed one another (firewhirl, radiant, and sky.) perhaps the scene depicted on the cave wall has some relevance to their current adventures?
