"It ain't easy bein' alone. But ye got me t'keep a weather eye out, boyo. An' ye'll 'ave a place t'lay yer head. De Curoqi Devilray I be, an' dere be no safer pirate lord t'take ye in from here to Axia."

A bittersweet lil scene I've had in my brain for a WHILE. Luka, about 9 or 10 at this point in time, is @bluebrush09arts's albino drow boy and eventual artificer.

But he washed up on the shores of Curoq, where Qirani holds sway, after the boat he and his parents were on exploded in a fiery blaze. The Curoqi Devilray found him, fortunately, and has all but adopted the little oddball, and all the ups and downs it implies.

“Captain Qirani, Demonsteel War veteran, thief lord, and pirate! At yer service, y’lil sea jelly~”

My pirate lady Qirani! Finally in her humanoid version that I’m actually really happy with being at a skill level I can accurately render her in! :D

Qirani is my islander Wood Elf, stockier than your “typical” Wood Elves, and absolutely able to throw a guy over the ship railing into the drink. She spent a good number of years at the mast, and most of her young adulthood as a petty thief in her island home city of Curoq. And now she’s going to feature as an NPC in the Pirates of Axia homebrew campaign my husband’s running and writing! :D

I have so much to learn with darker skin tones. I’m very much not used to working with them, but they’re so pretty, and I’m very very baby in coloring darker skin tones.

A page of doodles of some of my OCs~

I decided to give Rori’s pony version an update and make her a pretty buckskin instead of a plain golden yellow horse. It’s stuck so well that it’s going to be permanent. x3 The sketch off to the top right is what would happen if my wild mage/ice sorcerer Soren met my anti-magic thief/swashbuckler Qirani. Soren is highly dependent on her magic, almost to an instinctive level. Qirani, on the other hand, does not appreciate magic or magic users at all.  Under that is a design I was toying with for an OC I’d forgotten about but recently reminded myself that she exists. A high elf x wood elf combat caster gal named Alaena Galathen, retainer for and lover of the Captain of the Guard for a high-elven capital city.

Bottom left is a wing-arms-crossed unimpressed pony!Vess, and to the right of that is what would happen if Vess and Soren met. Shadows moving on their own, and ice creeping up limbs. Intriguing to both of them, though shadow magic is more unsettling for Soren than ice is for Vess. lol

I gotta get some new and updated refsheets out for these gals.

My girl Deer!Qirani all done up in her swashbuckler getup in time for Talk Like a Pirate Day!

Or simply Pirate Day~ xD Qirani is a tropical islander elf and former thief ring boss, turned pirate later on in her storyline. And I couldn’t not do a pirate drawing today! c:

Aww yeah drawing again!~ Feels good, man :D

This doe here is the deer form of my tropical islander elf character, Qirani. She canonically hails from the same universe as my mage, Soren. She was just a hand-for-hire and two-bit-petty-thief around the big-city-island she’s native to, before an unknown mainlander gave her a huge windfall; a manor and estate to start a local thieves guild with. She builds up a small crime ring, has guards and certain political figures in her pocket, all in the name of keeping crime relatively in order while the unification with a mainlander republic is underway. And so far in her story, she’s been pegged with a massive smuggling charge, one that could catalyze war with the dwarves. So now she's peeved and wants to find who the hell framed her, and bring them to justice. Even if it’s her justice and not the republic’s government’s.

She got a deer form just because I wanted to draw her suspicious-of-magic attitude interacting with wild-mage-my-magic-is-my-life Soren, who has a unicorn form. xD Oh! Yeah, she’s based on an M. americana, a red brocket deer!
