Exalted Secret Santa 2024: Dragonbloods Edition!
Hey everyone! This year I'm offering up my two Dragonbloods for the Exalted Secret Santa. The first is Sayuri (an Air Aspect), and the second is Jaya (a Wood Aspect).
Of the two, Sayuri is far more developed (she even has her own extended bio here), whereas Jaya is much newer and hasn't had as much development yet. However, both have some hard 'must have' details and some soft 'open to interpretation' details.
Sayuri's right arm from shoulder to wrist has scattered tattoos of clouds, butterflies, and cherry blossoms. Her hair is dark blue/nearly black with a dark blue sheen. Her eyes are icy blue, her skin is VERY pale with no freckles or scars, and she prefers cool (and usually dark) colored clothing (purples, blacks, all shades of blue, occasionally white). She is confident and aloof to the point of being a bit bitchy at times.
Jaya has warmer skin than Sayuri, maybe even a bit of a tan, and green freckles. His hair is emerald green and fairly long, and his eyes are a bright spring green. He prefers greens and browns in his clothing, and plant/floral motifs are always appropriate. He is friendly and casual, if a bit prone to getting lost in his own thoughts.
Sayuri's costume and hairstyle are open to interpretation. She'll usually be in something flowy that moves in the wind, but that she can still run, fight, or otherwise be active in. She prefers her hair long, but various styles of braids and updos are all on the table. I don't typically draw her wearing jewelry, but you're welcome to give her some; she would certainly wear jewelry.
Jaya's costume is entirely open to interpretation, as I haven't really nailed down his 'standard' costume yet. Anything that's not too formal (that he can both fight and garden in) is probably valid. The exact style of his green jade spear is also open, as I think the one shown in the reference image is probably too plain. I sometimes write or describe Jaya as having vines or flowers growing in his hair, and that's also an option!
Thanks all, and I'm looking forward to seeing the art everyone does this year! And thanks again to @shiftingpath for organizing this again.
