A kurlitad and her ability to bird, a request.
BuckyDeerling said: I was inspired to do this piece after listening to Kygo and Whitney Houston’s version of ‘Higher Love’. I really felt that the song’s message about seeking love resonated with your creations, the Kurlitads, but in my story accompanying the picture, I frame the song to refer to the difficulty of holding on to the memories of love as time continues to march forward. Hope you like it and let me know what you think! VampireMeerkat said: What a truly sad story, therefore I love it. The song.. I’m not the biggest fan of this lady, but I appreciate her earlier stuff. One detail, unless it was on purpose: It should be Rosa's singing that entrances Sulfur. The females used to sing and the males danced. The kurls only started doing both after they thought all men had died, as to honour them. And kurlitads are always completely white-feathered, but well, I'm willing to entertain a couple of mutants. I like that poofy pink head.
Were the kurls inspired by Pearl from Steven Universe? If not, what inspired them? Also, where did that poi come from if there haven't been any around for so long?
The kurlitads are, much like the Atomic series, inspired by a song. “Pasa?“ by Pleasant Chemistry made me imagine a bunch of bouncy birds having a party in the trees, similar to those animated kiwi gifs that were popular one point in time. There’s no deeper thought to it. Eventually women’s voices start to sing random words -or sentences in a language I can’t understand- that sound like they’re saying “kurlitad“. Or, well, I wanted it to sound like that, as I had already decided to name the girls kurls and the boys pois.The original Pasa hasn’t been uploaded anywhere, but I happened to have included the track in a Youtube stream once, so you know what I’m talking about: https://youtu.be/32fLINqzXo8?t=840
Concerning their design in general, I wanted creatures that looked like pixies. Their pointy noses are what they are so they can simulate beaks when they transform themselves into birds.Kurlitads cannot die of old age and this poi originates from a time they were still perceived to exist. He isn’t a newborn or anything of the sort. He just found himself alone one day and travelled around the world until he came across a group of sleeping kurlitads. He inserted himself into the group without warning and the next morning these ladies woke up a gentleman richer. The end.
Request: Draw the Kurlitads withdrawn into their bodies, where they are camouflaged to resemble unsuspicious birds.
Okey.
