A commission for lightblueyoshi of his character, Alwine, a noble Trezlin of Gren descent who I believe is part of the Treztown military. Correct me if i'm wrong, Ulk!
Anyway, I love getting to draw things from my own world. It's fun fleshing things out with art and I'm also a sucker for practicing clothing and anthros. It's a nice change of pace from my usual art.
Curious about Alwine's place of origin? Check out Threa and feel free to join the Discord for it and find out!
Commission for Sabre94 on Discord (not sure their other accounts) of their Blazkul character, Vengeance, and his rider, Irai the Trezlin, owned by Windridres! Both exist in the world of Threa (read about it here!) There's also an unarmored version of this drawing here :)
I love getting commissions set in my own world; it just gives me some reason to draw the creatures from it and flesh it out more.
Here you see the Sokan Empire storming a city, likely of the Gren, using their Blazkul to bash down the front gates and set the city aflame. Vengeance is the only Blazkul mount the Sokans own and is extremely valuable due to his fire breath, restricted to only two kinds of dragon, both of which are near impossible to steal eggs of. Irai was the lucky Trezlin who imprinted on Vengeance and the two fight side-by-side as the Arius (leader) in their mounted group, designated by the red marks on their shoulders.
I'm not open for commissions just yet - check back in early May - and I'm just finishing up some owed art I had promised people prior to reopening. :)
Among the most advanced of the lin, the Trezlin dominate the forests of the north with two large kingdoms - the Gren and Sokan Kingdoms - and Treztown. Originally simple hunter-gatherers, these lin have developed mastery over bronze armor, weaponry, and tools. Their foresty green coloration is mostly covered by clothing made primarily from leathers and plant fibers, worn due to societal pressures of modesty.
These lin's lifestyles vary depending on where they live. The aggressive Sokan Kingdom have dominated the local kul populations, utilizing them for pack animals and war mounts. Kulriders are seen as the mightiest warriors for having control over the battlefieldand their large, venomous steed. The aforementioned venom is also harvested by the Sokan to fill empty chambers in their daggers which break and spread venom when twisted in flesh. Meanwhile, the Gren Kingdom is made purely of lin without the advantage of kul. However, they have learned techniques to hunt and slay pesky Trezkul that threaten their kingdom. Trezkul are not an easy beast to take down and so it is considered a high honor and accomplishment to manage to take one - or even multiple - down successfully. Finally, while Treztown is rather small in comparison to the great kingdoms, it has the smoothest relations with the neighboring kul. In this nation, lin and kul are considered equals and have equal rights under the law. Trezkul are welcome to live among the smaller Trezlin though not many wish to, as they are rather solitary beasts.
Trezlin do not have much to leave their forests for, but those that do are generally vagabonds that wreak havoc on unsuspecting kul. Bringing back the heads of larger or more dangerous dragon species than the Trezkul brings unimaginable respect, especially in the Gren Kingdom. Many kul have learned to fear the small green bipeds that occasionally venture into their homelands.

Can I tell you guys how proud I am of this? Because I'm proud of it. Not only did I manage to actually somewhat do bipedal anatomy, but I LOVE THAT RENDERING OF THE BRONZE. Metal is so hard for me to get right because it bends light and, in reality, this would reflect a lot more colors, but it's a start and it really looks metallic, so let me be proud!
