Here we have sea-snake Turel, The Big Weird Man himself, with a little friend!

(For those who don't know, Turel is... very big, almost 8 feet tall when he has legs! I calculated that he would be over 28 feet from locs to tail in this form...)

Here's a detail snippet, link to full 2K render under the cut!

I'm also entertained at the notion of Turel implying he can do Arial straps. As though his giant ass wouldn't just yank them down.

(Well, ok, somebody could probably just magically make him weightless, but where's the fun in that?)

WIP Wednesday: Turel’s face is just so Good 😔

Turel would like to give Jinana a bug and a kiss.

[ V-Day Asks ]

February is late summer here, and the dense shade of the forest brings a welcome respite from the merciless sun. Life hums all around, in the buzzing of insects and the rustling of foraging squirrels, rising in the heady scent of summer flowers and green growing things. Life, too, is in the damp earthy scent of the forest floor, where the small scuttling things, the sleek worms and the secretive fungi break down the remnants of life past to make way for life anew.

Jinana rests with hir back against the stump of an ancient tree, eyes closed, taking in the forest with hir other senses. It's good for hir to do this, to get away from the city for a short time and experience the timeless rhythms of the natural world; it helps to ground hir, to calm the chaotic magic that roils inside of hir.

The gentlest brush of something against hir hand causes hir to open hir eyes. Turel is holding something in his own hand, with infinite gentleness - a sprig of flowering wild thyme. Perched upon this, no bigger than one of Jinana's own fingernails, is a beetle, its carapace gleaming with rainbow stripes. Its antennae wave busily as it turns itself around to inspect the fingertip s/he extends, before clambering on, tiny hooked feet tickling.

"A rare beauty," s/he says softly, smiling. Turel smiles in turn, then leans in to brush a soft kiss against hir lips. The beetle presently wings its way back to the patch of thyme, intent upon its foraging, as the two visitors to this forest are intent upon each other.

If it's not too much I would like to squeak in E6 with Turel and Jinana - they deserve floor time. Floor time is good.

Turel slides into the seat across from Jinana, sliding hir a splendidly colourful and fruity drink and taking the chance, when s/he reaches for it, to catch both hir hands in his. Bringing them to his lips, he kisses softly from hir fingertips to her palms, from hir palms to the pulse-point of hir wrists, where he pauses to suck on the tender skin. Throughout, his eyes never leave hirs.

Nor do they as his left hand leaves hirs in favour of the condensation beading coolly on his own drink. The letters he writes with it, callused fingertip gentle, glow briefly gold up hir arm.

"Care to add to our unexpected places to make love?"

Turel's towering frame would be almost comical in these ordinary surroundings, but there is something about his presence that makes the ordinary fade away. By now, he knows just where a touch or a kiss will cause quickening heat to bloom, to wake hir interest.

S/he takes in the little magical message with a pleased curling of hir lips. With hir free hand s/he extends a ringed index finger and makes a broad circling gesture, twice over:

Always.

The enjoyment of their fanciful drinks is only enhanced by the pleasant edge of anticipation, with shared smiles and veiled glances across the table, the intimate brush of a leg beneath it.
