the three

[jameelaillustration]

I'm really rusty on realism but I've been reading NK Jemisin’s Inheritance Trilogy and I just HAD to paint Bright Itempas (the way I think Oree might)

Although he is the god of balance and symmetry,  he wears a three-eyed sun and three golden hoops in his ears to honor his two other halves

[a-wacky-story-for-you]

I would say that yeine naha and tempa are sun stars amd moon but thats wrong. thats now what they are.

they are stars space and ground

they are suns and back holes and planets

wait

(cut because my thoughts got long)

not black holes; that does naha a disservice and ignores that they were the first.

naha is just. the space that Space occupies.

maybe switch the caps

and tempa is the stars that formed from the chaotic gas clouds

and enefa was the first planets-- rocky, lifeless, cold, forever flirting between sundeath and the void; between a blazing and cooked ball of rock, and drifting as an icy asteroid

eventually she flung from orbit and became an exoplanet, unable to balance herself in her steady rotations, leaving the suns' systems in wack.

when her unsteady orbit came into contact with her stars, again, she crashed

she hadnt expected the pebbles circling the star to change its--*his* orbit. she hadnt accounted for the lack of her presence in the system, how gravity would cope

how the orbits would change

how mass matters but proximity squared can drown out the largest things if they are far away

how stars change much more slowly than planets, but they do change

so. enefa burned. and life returned to what it had been before ground

except

except--

there was still the gas clouds tempa was born from, the space of naha where anything wasn't, and- and- and-

asteroids and meteors and comets and all the little gusts of momentum enefa had left around

and the void's rage at the violence of the star

and the heat of the sun always comsuming *things* and shedding *things* and radiating and

well

maybe this is a bad analogy, huh? in this, the stars change but the void doesn't.

maybe the void shouldn't be the nothing, it should be the *movement*. With no planets, a sun doesn't move. however, it is susceptible to smaller movements from smaller bodies if a large planet is out of the picture.

and suns-- well, all movement is relative, and when youre the heaviest thing around you're being orbited. so, what are you moving relative to?

so. back to the story

there was still inertia, gusts of movement rippling through: whispers of enefa. her gifts

black holes and asteroid belts anf small oddities between

but. with the void angry at the stars, the stars' small shifter struck. did something unimagineable

the clever little thing had been darting around, and every other thing was in perfect orbit around the sun

nothing interacted, nothing adjusted; perfect circular orbits in a single plane

all of them with constant velocity, constant *angular* velocity

an unknown phenomenon. relative eachother, all was still for a time.

by the time that time was over, all the asteroids had become nearly spherical. the issue?

that sun needed fuel. It could not live without consumig gasses, and it could not consume while stationary unless the gas came to him (which, in this too-still world, it did not)

so he set himself up for failure; tiltef a smidge to the left and let the electromagnetic disturbance fix the rest.

not really. that was the last gust of movement enefa had left, echoing its way across the universe. it bumped an asteroid against another, and those two tumbled in passion into another, and on it went. how could the star stop this?

he couldnt, from the lofty perch his shifter had put him on before sacrificing herself into his flames.

and thus another planet was born; another ground with an atmosphere, another *enefa*. but this one wasnt.

I’m still very much in a reading slump, but I’m slowly making my way through The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms by NK Jemisin.

I just love the charas and the world aaand so I made Yeine and Nahadoth in this Picrew. 🥰🥰

[featherwurm]

My husband got me into the Inheritance Trilogy by NK Jemisin last year and I really loved it. I'm (you might figure) a visual person so here's my best shot at Nahadoth (who's ever-shifting features I did my best with), Itempas (post second book), and Yeine (who I actually tend to think of with even shorter hair... let's just assume she's due for a trim here... or something). I've seen very very little fan art of them.

[sophygurl]

"I should kill you," I whispered. "Do you think you could?" Unbelievable, his arrogance. Magnificent. He reminded me of Itempas. "You sleep, Deka. You eat. Not all my tricks need magic." His smile grew an edge of sadness. "Do you really want to kill me?" When I didn't answer - because I didn't know - he sobered. "What do you want, Sieh?" And because I was afraid, and because Yeine had asked the same question, and because Deka really did know me too well, I answered with the truth. "N-Not to be alone anymore."

So, I know I usually don't submit my art on here (have I ever done it before?) but after longer than I care to admit I finally made myself a new bookmark. And it's The Three from Jemisin's Inheritance Trilogy!! <3 Just love them so much. Hope you enjoy doodle Tempa, Yeine and Naha ^^</p>

PS: Forgive me for the bad lighting, it changed the colours even so slightly (the scanned version looks better: http://fav.me/dczsyfv).
