[helloitsnico-yt]

finally drew the oc from this post, Niko Parras, Aka Kaarne! He was born blind, so i gave him glass eyes that change to match his sentinel stone when he transforms. in his civilian design theyre just white, he thinks it looks cool. I made him look a bit more monstrous than Nightingale (the only other canon bird wielder we have) to make up for the fact that his outfit doesnt scream magical warrior to me. :(

Wildward belongs to @callimara , pose reference by albanenechi on instagram but i changed it a little bit for my purposes

Genius. Curious. Reactive.

He is the one that knows all. Who sees the unseen, and can read his enemies like a book. He is the wielder of the Raven Aegis; Kaarne.

A trickster. A scholar. A ghost. He does not fight with brute force, nor does he dominate the battlefield with sheer might. Instead, he dances along the edges of perception, slipping between moments like ink bleeding into water. His presence is unsettling, a lingering watchfulness that prickles at the edges of the mind—unshakeable, inescapable. He is the flicker of movement in the periphery, the phantom breath against the nape of your neck. And when he strikes, it is with eerie precision, as though he has seen every move before it was made.

His sightless eyes see more than most. Deprived of vision, Kaarne reads the world through means far beyond the mundane—keen ears that catch the subtlest quiver in a voice, hands that trace the contours of truth and deception alike. The way the wind shifts, the way the air hums, the way silence breathes. He listens. He learns. He understands.

His transformed form is both ethereal and unnerving, something born of a world adjacent to this one. The Raven Aegis, an unassuming earring when dormant, embeds itself into his ear upon activation, dark veins of energy threading from it like ink-stained cracks along porcelain. His hair, impossibly long and inky black, shimmers like raven feathers beneath the moon, shifting in iridescent hues of blue and violet when he moves. His coat, a flowing mass of shadows, twists and unfurls like living ink, trailing behind him as though he is never entirely tethered to this plane.

To face Kaarne is to fight inevitability itself. He does not overpower his enemies; he dismantles them. He preys upon uncertainty, weaving misinformation and manipulation into his arsenal as deftly as any blade. His voice is a whisper in the dark, a soft murmur behind your shoulder, a question that plants doubt in your mind before you even realize it. And then—when you falter, when hesitation stills your hand for a fraction too long—he strikes.

A blade that bends like liquid, shifting in form, curling and warping with the fluidity of thought. A weapon that can never be anticipated because it is never quite the same. His attacks come from nowhere and everywhere, unpredictable yet meticulously calculated. His fighting style is not one of brute strength, but of control—playing his enemies like a finely tuned instrument, plucking at their fears and flaws until they unravel.

Some say he is not truly human. That he is something else wearing human skin, something that knows too much, hears too much, moves too strangely. The people of Bougainville whisper his name in hushed, uneasy tones—a specter, an omen, a force that does not belong here. The hunter that does not stalk its prey, but lingers just outside its awareness, waiting, waiting, waiting. And when the moment is right—

The raven strikes.

[ Wildward!AU | Elsa & Jack | based on the Wildward series by @callimara ] IN THE TIME OF THE FIRST KEEPER...

She knew—even without Hugenn to guide her, without the Vision brought to her by the black opal, without her Aegis and the Sentinel of Thought—that they could never be. She need not look into her future. She need not slow down time, no matter how she might wish to. One day, somehow—this power would be lost. Until that day came—when their Aegis abandoned them, or all was forgotten—and perhaps even after, he would remain... But she would not yield, and he did not push, for Villr, the Sentinel of Protection, had chosen a Guardian: he, with his survival and his Rage, with the speed and strength bestowed upon him by the brown onyx of the earth, would protect her from harm, would provide shelter and safety for her cold frozen heart. "I do not protect you because the Wolf wills it. The Wolf answers my will because I protect you." She believed him, but it changed nothing. One day, their borrowed godhood would be gone, and their fragile mortality would find them. "Perhaps," she said, knowing the truth and—for the moment—choosing not to. "Perhaps what we have will share the agelessness of the Aegis. Perhaps, one day, we will find each other again... maybe centuries. Eons. In a thousand years." He, who fought not with his Mind but with his Heart, felt the cautious Raven place her delicate trust in the Wolf. Smiling with naught but his eyes, the Guardian echoed the vow that would last—maybe centuries, maybe eons. "Then I'll find you. In a thousand years."

Part two of aegis swaps, here's Colette with the wolf aegis! Dunno if furs are really her thing but it felt right to do for a wolf lol. Collette and wildward belong to @callimara which you should check out btw!!!

Animation practice: Bases (I need your help!)

This ruff draft is an exercise in animation. The animation in question is of the following prompt: What would Clara de Vries's magical transformation into Nightingale look like?

This was made with limited references. If you see this, please provide feedback. Don't be afraid to air any problems with the piece because this is just the base layer. If anyone has anything they want me to add then now is the time.

I'm planning on animating the next layer soon.

To clarify, the character is from a project called Wildward, which was created by @callimara. The project is based on loose concepts from Miraculous Ladybug, but with a more mature twist.

Check out her blog and YouTube channel for more information. And Calli, I hope you're doing well. Thank you for giving us a new Adventure to follow. :3
