A place to get interesting XM tidbits about the current cast of characters. I'll also post bits of fanart I've done, and other not so XM characters I have. This place is mainly for my own works, but I will reblog fanart that is done for me.
So it seems that most people are abandoning ship.
I’m not going to leave per-say, but I’ve also not been super active here/anywhere as well.Â
I still have a twitter:Â https://twitter.com/XiroMyth
And my DA is still up: https://www.deviantart.com/kilara (tho I think most everyone followed me from there)
I don’t really know of any other sites for art that aren't really dead. I’d really love for a centralized art site where most people would go again. it really feels like everyone scattered.
I'm hoping to run a themed pathfinder game within the setting of my comic Xiro Myth.
I'd be running it every other weekend, though the day is flexible to best meet the needs of the majority.
I'm running it online, and would love to see if people have interest!
A WIP of a Spyro image I am working on to sell at the local con
Today is the last day to vote for me in the cover contest! -> #6 <-

Frostbyte, a character who’s design has been around for near 15y+
She started out as a character who was inspired by a mixture of KOS-MOS (weapon spawning, cool robot) and a Dragoon.
I didn’t do much with her in that state, she just ended up being one of those drawn twice and forgotten. But I didn’t want to forget her, so I reworked her design into something that would fit into the Xiro Myth setting.
She became a half Ilumaran, found by professor Kennith. Rebuilt by him, and her DNA used to help make the ORIX and his attempt to revive the Ilumari.
Her new design I went with dark for her armor, since I felt the light was too much of light colours leaving her feel washed out. I also wanted to do a bit of homage to the origins of her design. I went with a blade aesthetic from Xenoblade Chronicles 2, since KOS-MOS is in that game, and it’s sort-of a sequel to her games.
Long time no post. Gonna test out where is the most active, trying here, since there has been a sudden uptick in activity here.
When creating critters and species for XM, I always try to figure where they are all connected.
So here we have the Suien, who are related to the Lyroc, Kyets, and even Sydrin. (haven’t drawn one of those in so long that I don’t have the old files anymore)
Suien, Lyroc, and Sydrin all have insect like fins, mostly retractable. This could be a part of the influence from the unicorn like beings, (whom I have not updated yet https://kilara.deviantart.com/art/From-beond-the-Veil-151793072 )
The Kyets are only a distant relative to the lyroc and suien, having 4 arms, and feathers respectively.
Now that I have my own scanner again that is actually compatible with a system past XP, I can scan and post things again.
This one is of Ty-bot with a semi updated design. I love how this one turned out so much, a mixture of spilled bleach and some chalk markers giving a fun effect.
In case you are wondering, yes I am pretty bad at posting things when they are done.
She is one of Lord V’s elite, with the ability to siphon strength and powers from one person to another. While she has lived for 42 years, she is still young for Talean standards, and thus likes to pull childish pranks.
http://xiromyth.deviantart.com/art/The-Virtues-of-Vladimus-160529778 <--- the old look of her and the rest of V’s generals.
I changed her look to be less traditional Talean, very pale, one horn, etc.
She always keeps a flytt at her side, Im toying with the idea of the flitt being related, or even straight out being the half Ilumaran. Not sure, I still have to go and rework his background.
I did this mainly to test out my new scanner, which works pretty decently. Gotta mess with the settings more to get it to just the right place for me.
A rakekk swimming with a pod of Undrais. It’s also been a while since I last drew Undrais. Pushed their forms a little here, and got their teeth down.
The rakekk is a little big in this image, and stubby in the body, they are meant to be a bit more like a ferret or otter in the length of their form, but I got more distracted by the size of my cuecard. XD
I had initially planned to do an image of Paido being silly, but it turned out to be a more pretty pic, then into a more sombre pic. Kyets are like magpies and collect the shiny!Â
There is always a chance I might go a darker route like this image depicts, and it makes me sad, but eager to get to where these things might happen, like for Paido, if he ever lost Kestryl. T_T
Finally got my scanner working again last night after some pretty big hiccups, going to be posting a bunch of the Inktober pieces today, so be prepared for a bit of a flood, I will space them out a little to spare you from the messiness. XD
This here is Mizamsk, I hadn’t drawn her in a good while, and have wanted to. tried a few different inks on this one, including a gold marker that ended up looking kinda horrid. Also went a little overboard with this one and the next, learnt my lesson to Keep it Simple!
I am super hyped about Heart of Thorns! Been prepping for the expansion, getting mawdrey, finishing the story, making sure I've got the tomes to lvl and gear for the new content.
I've drawn chibis of the current active members of my guild, and I am trying to recruit people to get everything built for the Guild so whatever bonus that comes from having everything built, and to take a guildhall when that comes.
So here is my offer. I am offering chibi sketches like these for the active members of the guild. (likely top 5, and won't be done till HoT comes out)
If you are interested in helping me, send me a mail in game to Mizgarth. <333
If you want to help but don’t have GW2, it is free to play now!
Just like I had done a set for the FF classes mixed with the XM crew, this is the Dragoon types. I had initially planned to do the same as the FF classes; doing chibis 1 each of the characters and classes, but I discovered it was less of an option because how detailed the dragoon armor is.
Instead I decided to draw 1 image more in the style of the promo images from the game.
I did figure out who all would have which spirits. I made these decisions based on my character's personalities or abilities, and not based on weapons or gender.
Hiro: Dark Dragoon – Hiro is a Darker person than Dart is, and does have something like a monster possessing him, So I chose Dark over Fire for him
Kilara: White-Silver Dragoon – She has the ability to heal, and is right along the same helpful type the spirit seems attracted to.
Marcus: Jade Dragoon – Marcus is a knight, someone who is dedicated to protecting others, where the Jade dragoon has the defensive spell. Could be swapped with Ceejeh
Ceejeh: Violet Dragoon – I've always seen this as the fast Dragoon, aka lightning fast, and Ceejeh is the quickest character in XM. Could be swappped with Marcus.
Chowli: Divine Dragoon – Chowli has the ability to see through time, none of the other spirits seemed appropriate for such a powerful ability.
Naya: Blue-Sea Dragoon – The Blue spirit not only often chooses non humans, but since Naya carries around her water staff, I felt it would fit best.
Tank: Golden Dragoon – Big strong guy? Check!
Kestryl: Red-Eyed Dragoon – She is a very forward aggressive person who can use fire magic, so yeah, she fits the Red just right!
The other 2 images are versions where I turned off the other character, since it looked pretty boss that way as well.
This was fun, next maybe magical girls? I don't know
Art trade with the lovely xiromyth of her character named Kilara! She’s from her upcoming comic XiroMyth, which is looking INCREDIBLE btw., I can’t wait until it goes live.
go follow for babes, cool creatures and a lot more!
Had a blast drawing this, thanks for trading Ty, loved your half so much! <3
While cleaning I found a really old image I had drawn, likely one of the first. It was from a time before I joined DA, a time before I had a computer and access to photoshop, a time when I used metallic gel-pens to colour everything, and a time when I drew on anything and everything.
The older image was quickly drawn on the back of a receipt, so with the redo I decided to draw it on the back of a random piece of paper (since receipts now all have text on the back as well) I also don’t have metallic pens anymore, so I used some dollarstore coloured lead.
Often I see people out-do their old doodles with a full high quality render, but I felt it would be best to try to match the situation. I might decide to do a full render later on of this, heck, now I want to. But for now, this is this. XD
This is not the first time I have tried to redraw something older, but I felt that because of how old this was, it would be interesting to see.
