More monstrosity AU doodle but idk what did I draw

[bie-tch]

Very rough outline of my monstrosity au. I call it Odyssey!Kai. Yes it's an epic the musical pun. I'm very happy with it

Oooo been thinking about this for a hot minute. Was in my drafts for longer.

The imperium arc goes different too, Lloyd getting afraid at seeing Wyldfyre, her being fire adjacent and all, and thinking Kai is dead since she has his "fire" powers. After they get back to the Monastery, Zane actually becomes Wyldfyres mentor. The reason is that he finds her endearing and sees himself in her (not knowing who you are or where you came from). I have concept art rotting in my gallery, but it's not done yet sowy.

In this one, Kai doesn't find the bounty. Nya does. So she finds Lloyd first and traverses the merged lands for information. This, of course, creates irreparable damage to our boy. He does not go home early this time.

S2 has 4 major changes. Wyldfyre is slightly calmer, Lloyd has visions of both the bloodmoon and a mysterious figure cloaked in fur and blood (that he can't help but feel pain for, he doesn't know why), Nya learns dragon rising technique first, and Cole gets sacrificed instead of Kai. Besides that, mostly the same. Maybe they struggle a bit with the Ras showdown, but it ends the exact same way with Nokt free.

S2 p2 has the most differences. For one, Geo and the finders live with the ninja now. He feels guilty for letting Cole 'die' like that, so he's thrown himself into training. He's doing well, and the finders are having fun with arin, sora, and wyldfyre. The monastery is definitely more full, but the ninja still feel the absences of Kai, Cole, and Jay.

Next, Cole isn't doing that bad in the ns. He's got bonzle, he can use his powers to shape the space since it's technically rock, and enough stories to last a lifetime. He's fine.

Zane and Wyldfyre bond more. He tells her stories and videos about Kai and how they'd get along, and she is ecstatic. Another fire user, how exciting!

Arin and sora are still looking for his parents. Still find the matriarch dead.

Meanwhile, Kai has all but lost it. He isn't insane, but his morals have all but been destroyed. The only thing he cares about is getting back to his family and anything and anyone that has come in between that has now died or burned to death. The guardian dragon and fire knight mech are his permanent companions, and they respect his decision to change his values. One can not survive being in the land of the monsters without becoming one themselves, anyway.

The tournament of sources plays out the exact same. If you're wondering about frak, zane took up Cole's role in the og series. When Jay and Nya fight, he actually comes very close to winning. Nya can't bring herself to hurt him, since this time she doesn't have her brother to kinda fill his void. Jay is about to eliminate her until a fire ball the size of a car chucks Jay into the nearest wall.

Nya and the rest of the ninja are horrified because, duh, and she rushes to his side. Jay is unconscious, and she looks to where the fireball came from. Everyone is so in shock that they don't even recognize that it was a fire ball. Except Wyldfyre, then Zane. He tries to tell Lloyd, but there a crowd blocking his way.

All Nya sees are security bots wrangling a hooded figure, but they're being dismantled by the second in a flurry of slashes. Also, it doesn't help that there are two giants (mech and dragon) just looking down at him saying something she can't hear. She can only make out a subtle, "Do you want them to see you like this?" Before the stranger flinches and finally calms down. He allows himself to be arrested.

When the source dragons send out those little messages for each elemental master, Kai actually gets one since he hasn't encountered ras yet. The messenger dragon leads him out of the realm of monsters, but it's still pretty far. He gets there, but it takes a day or two. Or three. That's why he's late.

Roby comes forward, and he is just upset. Absolutely annoyed. He says something about wanting to see the face of the perpetrator, and that sends Kai into another frenzy. He doesn't want his family to him like that. He fails this time, though, and his hat and mask are pulled off.

You can guess what happens next.

Roby is actually happy with the change of events, calling it an epic plot-twist, but the ninja?

The reunion is short-lived, as he's wrung away for interfering with a match. The ninja tried to get to him, but doing so could get them disqualified, so they bite their lips and accept it unwillingly. Not knowing what to do with the mech and dragon, they just give it to the ninja. Both parties accept.

All I have so far wowowowowow

So I’ve had this au in my head since dragons rising came out where the merge happened before the ninja became “the ninja” or when they were kids and here me out: AU where Kai grew up in the land of monsters?

Okay time for Aurelius/Monstrosity au PT. 7. It's time for me to start talking about what I had thought up for Lucas a few years ago.

So near the beginning of the au I had thought it'd be neat if Lucas was part sea creature.

I also made Galarin his Mom, he also has a human mom in this au cause idk Galarin gives off Lesbian vibes to me.

So I should probably talk about what I had planned for gods in this au since I made Lucas Galarin's son. Like I mentioned in my last post I want the gods in FTO to be more like gods in actual mythology, which I can expand on more in a later post since some of my ideas for the gods have changed a bit (it will probably be in a post about my FTO rewrite/au). So gods like things that interest, amuse or they find pretty. I think it even includes living things.

What I'm trying to say is that Galarin found Lucas' human Mom pretty, especially her voice because I gave her song magic. So in this au (and I'm going to be changing her backstory and lore for my FTO rewrite, and the rewrite of this au) I had made Lucas' human mom be a sort of sacrifice from Lucas' village to appease Galarin and stop her from causing destruction. I also had Lucas' Mom and Lucas' master (Nesso) be siblings because why not. Galarin does actually like having the sacrifices she usually turns them into sea creatures/monsters or water spirits. But they kept Lucas' Mom human, and after a while she married her. I had them fall in love over time, well as close as a god can get to loving someone. So they get a house together on the beach and they have Lucas and they're happy for a while. But of course things can't ever last and I for some reason I had really liked making things angsty in this au.

So eventually some mages come to their home and try and attack Galarin but they end up killing Lucas' Mom in the process, which understandably angers Galarin and the only one who is able to stop them is Nesso who decides the only way to stop to stop her is by sealing her away inside of Lucas. For multiple reasons one; Galarin held favor in both Lucas and his Mom so she will be unlikely to hurt Lucas in the process of trying to escape her "human" prison. The second reason is that he had followed after the mob but wasn't fast enough to save his sister, so this is the only way that Nesso knows that the group of other mages will spare Lucas. Right before Galarin is sealed away though she turns what is left of Lucas' Mom into a water spirit (she isn't quite fully present as a spirit since she did die before she was turned and the process wasn't perfect since it was rushed).

So Nesso takes Lucas on as a student (I made Lucas fairly young in this au I made him a young child at this time, then in season 4 I decided to make him 20). In this au I had Nesso not tell Lucas that he is his uncle (only for this au is he his uncle), as well as make Lucas tell no one that Galarin is his other parent, so eventually Lucas forgets that they are. Nesso also made Lucas wear the gloves that he wears in the series. The gloves sort of work as a 'glamour' as well as a seal for his natural magic (I have it so that god slayers have 2 magics the magic they're born with and their gods magic). So Lucas looks human as long as he wears his gloves, he can take them off but he has sort of an internalized hate for his own magic and his true appearance.

• Another point that I hadn't added in earlier was how I want Galarin to be one of Kay's friends from during her days with the other Fox spirits. So Galarin would have known that Kay was a god but they would have left Kay to figure it out on her own. In fact I had it planned in my head that Kay would have been visiting Galarin and Lucas' Mom with the twins (Michael and Devin) when the hunters attacked, which is why she would have been away.

If you were taking requests/wanting to do some art exercises: maybe seeing how eldritch/monstrous you can make an OC of yours?

Hello!! This was a really fun suggestion. I'm not 100% certain how successfully I met the challenge, but I decided to go with the idea of René, but with feathers and wings growing out of their body - cause black swan motif.

Considering this is a design/sketch challenge, I didn't spend too much time on details or anatomy. ^^;

CW: implied but not explicit body horror
