hey that drawing i mentioned in my last post? the one ive been on and off working on for about 6 months? i dont know if ill ever get around to finishing it, so im posting the current wip :]

azu's hair isnt 100% done and kas' arm isnt shaded at all (And lets not mention the completely untouched bg) but i still think it looks good

college art class had a zen tangle assignment and I figured this was a good opportunity to draw kas

Feelin a lil autistic about my ocs so heres some lore about the two eldritch deity things, and also Azu's language cuz of course I've partially made one.

Kasaykos (kass-aye-kohs): more or less a literal translation of "vast eyed terror", since azu was the one to come up with a name for it immediately after his first horror protagonist experience with the thing.

Combination of kasu, meaning great/vast, aji, or eyed/eyes, and ykos which means terrifying

Kos'dwua (kaws-du-ah): essentially calling them sensitive and that they complain too much, though it's also a decent description of its appearance. Azu met and named this guy a bit after he'd gone from "oh god this is so scary" to "I'm so unbelievably done with this bullshit" when dealing with this sort of magic nonsense.

It also helps that kos'dwua goes out of it's way to appear "beautiful", which makes it way easier to not instantly dub it a horrifying thing

A conjunction between kos, meaning complain, and idwua, a word for glass/crystall and also used as an adjective for fragile things
