One of the things I like most about the Ice Wolves books is the casual representation. Their Badass-War hero-PE teacher who just happens to be a lesbian with a wife? A bubbly character who uses they/them, even if they're a side character? And of course, like 80% of the cast being African-American? I luv it

2015 (or ‘14) to 2019!

It’s not perfect but it’s improvement. This is part of a long series of drawings I did way back when I was a young one *cough* 8th or 9th grade *cough*

I’m calling it the Elemental Series. This is fire elemental (Obviously)

World of Alvina

This is some world building for the Elementals Series which is what Marked by Ash is in. 

There are many species in Alvina: Elves, Dwarves, Humans, Atlians, Vampyres, Lycans, and Nythil. Each of them, excluding the Nythil, have their own kingdom or nation with a unique religious setup and strange infrastructure. Thousands of years before the first Elementals wars plagued every corner of Alvina, but now they all enjoy peace with the other species and remain reclusive.

Alvina has two moons, which are commonly referred to as the moons of Alvina. Strange things often happen with the tides because of this, especially during an eclipse. Those who worship the moon hold special ceremonies when they are in significant positions. Each species has their own way of telling time, it depends mostly on what holds value in their culture. A year to one species is different than a year to another. 

Wildlife is pretty tame, with few variances between the kingdoms. Most of the most exotic and magical species have been hunted to extinction with few exceptions. Special types of common animals, such as bears who have been touched by magic, do occasionally occur. Certain nations have made preserving magic wildlife a priority. 

Nations

Alem - Monarchy of the humans

Ellu - Democracy of the elves

Atla - Theocracy of the atlians

Zindor - Plutocracy of the dwarves

Valudis - Monarchy of the vampyres

Thropia - Gerontocracy of the Lycans
