I'm reading A Dance with the Fae Prince and I'm going nuts over Davien sensually saying "would you enjoy feeling my weight atop you in the darkness" like yes, yes I would! A large hot man lying on top of me like a weighted blanket is one of my specific kinks

A little practice/warm-up sketch of an FC mate’s character Davien.  So fun to draw!

The HOTTEST version of Davien I’ve ever drawn

It’s actually frustrating, because since I’m setting this in a wholly crazy non historical setting, I have to extrapolate a lot of lore and knowledge that means taking stuff we knew the Romans could do, combining it with what we knew medieval societies around the world could do, and sort of synthesizing what each culture would have available based on their varied level of technical development.

Nafrin have insane public works that utilize concrete to move and store immense amounts of fresh water, massive cities with a strikingly modern distribution system for fresh, potable water; and these huge, ornate temples to the 4 cardinal deities. I mean, like, imagine if the freemasons had concrete during the medieval era, and four distinct gods to stylize.

Ijosai build cities using fast-growing mangrove trees, and volcanic rock that survive in salt-water, even making a few (beautiful and frankly scary) floating gardens that can float/be sailed/rowed from one island to another. That doesn’t even touch their giant catamaran battleships with teams of rowers and huge, tall sails.

Davien build these amazing sandstone temples and structures, and have amazing agricultural techniques that are literally de-desertifying the desert. I’m talking complex irrigation systems that include movement of river sediment and the importation of peat, clay, and fertilizers through these engineered locks and canals and clay pipes. 

Cranid build whole CITIES suspended between the walls of canyons, just, like networks of bridges and beautifully carved blocks of limestone that almost seem to “float” on reinforced cabling, and “garden walls” that are literally gardens that are dead-ass vertical facing the south.

Avur have these massive “houses” that are more like keeps/walled cities that just rise out of the firmament made of wood and stone, where you can go the entire day shopping and never touch the actual ground. Like, multi-level roads and 5-7 storey tall buildings, all surrounded by stone and coated in fire-resistant stucco, so they’re these giant, brightly colored condensed cosmopoli.

The Mortei build less extravagantly, but that belies their beauty; I mean who else but a Mortei could build an unassailable city with no great stone walls? Yet, ask the Avur if they’d like to try to lay siege to it, and watch them shrink in memory of their defeats. I’m talking a city that, if you don’t know exactly where to look, you can’t bloody find, and is surrounded by earthworks, moats, and man-made swamps which are cultivated to purposely host the nastiest nasties imaginable, and be essentially fireproof. 

The Elemeis can make and break “camp” in a few hours, where “camp” is a literal mobile garrison. Just, you look away and then -bam- Elemeis have a fortress that seems to rise directly out of the ground.

The Terran have these astoundingly efficient caravans (so efficient that other races have done all they can to copy them) that can cross more ground in less time than even soldiers on forced march, despite including women and children in their composition. 

And I’m only talking about the -average- and about their living arrangements; I’m not even going into the Ijosai’s ability to make lumber that is essentially inured to most environments, the Mortei’s actual technical skill in earthworks, mining and food cultivation, etc, etc.
