Tanuth sketches! Need to draw this guy more.

Trying to draw an action pose of Tanuth with his legs shifted over. He’s taking down a guardsman and piercing the man’s chest plate with his foot claws. The action sequence in my head only had his shift lasting a few seconds. Enough for Tanuth to physically take down this guard and lunge forward to sap the life out of a second, who had charged in to back up his partner. 

He’s always been a healer character, but he can also do the exact opposite. Baby boy glows when he saps life. GLOWS. BIG BLU GLOE. 

He also glows softly when he heals, but that’s primarily centered in his eyes. :> I feel like poop for never drawing it. He should also technically be able to extend life, but that’s considered a taboo for Oriancari of his element.

Pretty sure Tanuth’s design changes little by little each time I draw him. :’D But I finally found the courage to ditch the weird red lines and I think that’s a plus. Changed his leg spikes to fin-spine things to match the one on his neck. 

Threw a little armored Kai in there, on the left, for a size reference. I just threw some *generic* armor on her as I’m still figuring out what Gairainian armor might look like.

Last week was weird for me. Sketched this up the other day. I could still fix a few things, but oh well

I just want this month to end lol

mass post including a painting in progress, those things I’ve been putting off posting, and a doodle from class because it looks okay if you don’t mind my random note taking.

FOR ORIANRISE HAPPY BIRTHDAY, YOU DORK.

My Tanuth practice from Tuesday night gave me an excuse to post the sketch of Kromelia I've had sitting around. She would be a good 42 feet in height at her head, and before I start cracking jokes about Tanuth not inheriting the height gene, it's good to note that main elementals don't continue to grow to their impressive, and otherwise unnatural heights until after their element has been fully siphoned over from their predecessor. And Kromelia, being here to stay, is going to take her sweet time doing so.

Her design is pretty self explanatory. She is the reigning Oriancarus of Earth, Gairain is her territory and life and soil are her specialties. With that in mind it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to notice the affinity she has for living organisms and matter. The idea is that centuries ago, she gradually shrouded herself in plant matter until her limbs became fused with live tree bark. Her legs and tail are covered in it, and when in this form, she is commonly seen with smaller plant matter sprouting about her shoulders. The leaves of those branches on her tail are every so often seen sprouting alongside fresh blossoms. Yatta, yatta. I changed her antlers to better suit this form too.

Tanuth is just, friggin Tanuth, ok. I have been exaggerating the curl on that crest feather of his and no one can tell me that was a bad idea, look at this smug idiot. He obviously inherited his bipedal looks from Ashtearul. I also threw in Maegolian who needs more airtime because I've been involving him in the plot more and more. He's like a second father to Tanuth anyway so it fit.

Honestly despite these two being mother and son it's ironic, to me, to see them grouped together in the same place in a mother- son light. I mean things straighten out between Krom and Tanuth, but there's always that tension there. For all her honoring that mother nature motif, she really is a terrible mom.
