goobers. webcomic coming eventually
I finally made my Vampire oc !! I’m not set on the name yet but I’m thinkinggg Corvina?
Made for School Of Little Vampires, she’s the art / creatives teacher! She’s a pretty laid back teacher, which in turn allows the students to get into a bunch of hijinks and other trouble, but she does care for the students a lot. Idk if her romantic interest would be Lady Kryptina or Count Alarich but let’s face it I was gonna do art for both lol
I want her to have a pet but idk what yet. Probably either a giant snake / basilisk or a dragon owl (specifically the mother of Fluffy from that one episode)??
As for her outfit I really wanted her to have a green ribbon (like the girl with the green ribbon around her neck story) and her dress is inspired by this 👇 except a lil different
im not playing on my phone im taking care of business
+40 corvina: újabb kincsekkel gazdagodott a nemzeti könyvtár digitális gyűjteménye
Az ÖNB negyven corvinájának átadása különleges jelentőséggel bír, hiszen a bécsi gyűjtemény a legnagyobb corvinaállomány a világon. A XVI. század elején a bécsi humanisták, köztük Johannes Gremper, Johannes Cuspinianus és Johannes Brassicanus játszottak kulcsszerepet abban, hogy számos értékes kódex Budáról Bécsbe kerüljön és így elkerülje a pusztulást a török hódítást követően. Így maradt fenn többek között a híres Philostratos-corvina is, amelyet Gremper szerzett meg II. Ulászló királytól 1513-ban. A bécsi tudósok munkássága hozzájárult ahhoz, hogy a Corvina könyvtár antik és bizánci művei, valamint a keresztény egyházatyák írásai utat találjanak az európai tudományos köztudatba.
A most átadott digitális kincsek egy közös osztrák–magyar kutatási projekt keretében készültek, amelyben az ÖNB, az Osztrák Tudományos Akadémia és az OSZK szakemberei működtek együtt. Magyar részről Zsupán Edina és Rozsondai Marianne kötéstörténész vesznek részt a feldolgozásban. A munka során részletes katalógus készül, amely az OSZK Supplementum Corvinianum sorozatában és az ÖNB elektronikus kiadványaként is megjelenik.

Lambiya anon: sorry it's been a bit, life's been busy.
So I've been working on coming up the personalities of Lambiya, Ta-She, and Corvina since I already explained Chilla.
So for Corvina, she is full-on smug bitch and smug demeaning teacher energy. She is smug, condescending, and fully delights in her cruelty and tormenting people with her magic. I also see her being somewhat interested the psychology of her victims, getting in their head, seeing what makes them tick, and the best ways to break them. Though do to her arrogance when she feel humiliated or lose she gets very anger and will lash out. Corvina can also be petty and will hold grudges (much like real life ravens).
Ta-She is literally just vibing. She strong, hot, and powerful and she knows it. And she doesn't care enough about others to prove it or show off. She's mostly just vibing when with the coven. I imagine she joined the coven mostly for entertainment, both in fighting the ThunderCats amd watching the other members of of the Coven of Furies do their own thing and bricker. Like the other members of the coven will be arguing and fighting and Ta-She is just off to the side watching them while drinking wine. Aside from that she pretty go with the flow of things, and is the one to follow Lambiya orders the most. Though if something does catch her interest or she specifically wants to get something done or get something, she's gonna do it. In those circumstances it's very her way or the high way, and given that she has mind control magic that she won't hesitate to use (even on her own teammates), it's usually her way.
Last, but not least, Lambiya. So for the og herself, I leaned into her being a foil for Cheetara. Lambiya is very manipulative and will often fake compassion and kindness to manipulate people (which contrasts Cheetara's genuinely kindness). She's often specializes in emotional manipulation either playing to ego, subtly breaking people down, or making them relevant on her praise or advice. Her main characteristic is her desire for control and having power over others. This desire lead to most of her choices like being a scam artist, role in the cult, joining Mumm-Ra's army, and even making the Coven of Furies. I imagine she made the coven to begin as a way to move up the ranks in Mumm-Ra's army, which did work. But while the members she chose were the most powerful magic users in Mumm-Ra's army, there was a bit of a downside. That downside being these women are all very independent, not very loyal, will do their own things when they feel like it, and are not very subtle to Lambiya's manipulations. So you can imagine that with how much of a control freak Lambiya is, I can imagine some funny scenarios of Corvina, Ta-She, and Chilla driving Lambiya up a wall.
Omg I love the ladies! I am imagining Corvina and Lambiya and their coooonstant power struggle. I'm getting popcorn and a chair
