Totem animal art I don't think I've posted here!

I have Co-Chief totems, but I haven't drawn the other one (a Panther) in a while - I'll post her whenever I get to that. C:

Until then, have Nicolai (Co-chief Totem #1, Fennec Kitsune), Celeste (Eastern Dragon), My Tiger totems (they're a fused pair - their colors shift back and forth, hence the appearance) and Esfir/Essie (Lynx)!

I spent an entire day on this and i feel you can tell based off how some bits are rushed. I wanted to make this before i play the update and learn whats gonna happen to capitano. Ive been struggling with what may or may not happen to this set of pixels and this is me using my oc i tied heavily to him as a means to almost tell myself its ok. (Under is ranting but no spoilers or leaks) ANYWAYS HAPPY NEW YEARS ^^

I hope i made capitano in character, he doesnt speak much but i tried to make him fit how i see him (a big hearted man of honor… that will do fucked up stuff for a good reason). If my pens didnt all die and i was forced to switch up programs i so would of made his face more scared and fucked up im sorry capitano fans its not rotten enough i know 😭

Esfir is iffy in this because this is specifically her after a LONG while of character development to the point where she can act like this (but in general she isnt like this)

I already made the decision to pull esfir from genshin but i will admit im a bit sad about it, i was planing alot of things about her in genshin like animatics and comics. Im still going to do those things and im probably going to make a genshin au but i feel genshins story telling is so… different than the story i want to tell. I hate having to change my story to fit into genshins especially since so much or her story isnt even related to the main plot. I love the game but im so tired and esfirs story is genuinely so important to me and i dont want to half ass it to fit into genshins story. It just sucks right when i was planning all my animatics and the order i wanted to make them in and the comics is when i learn what might happen in game. Her first genuine appearance is her last one and its not even a main thing tied to her its something i threw together last second

I had to switch the platform i was on in the coloring and editing phase cus all three of my drawing pens died which is why the last two photos are drawn differently, its not as rendered as i wanted but i just wanted this done before the update. Ill have time for au stuff and to work on esfir now separate project on a later date.

You know what? Fuck it, let's show tumblr something I drew.

Here's a lore dump:

Esfir Knyazer, daughter of a noble family of mages. A mage is an individual born with their talent in magic. They are naturally gifted in the area. Magic, was a power often coveted and sought for by envious souls. Dragons, a dying race. A deal would be struck by human and dragon, where the dragon's kind would manifest itself within individuals in exchange for the magical talent. This pact would extend to every descendant born from the human. This method of obtaining magic abilities was seen as taboo and unnatural. It gave an unfair power advantage to a family under such a pact. Families new found pride to be called a mage would soon be suppressed and discriminated; the pact becoming a family secret.

-

I don't know why Esfir's story would be, but she would be a villain. A school bully with an unrelenting loyalty. (To her family? To her teacher? To herself? Who knows) She has a sharp tongue, a keen mind, and can read you like a book. Her reputation plummets when her secret is out, (maybe her family disowns her?) But that won't stop her from achieving her goal. (What goal? I don't know.)

Its a classic trope, but I like it.
