Princess Mira in Atyri ♡

week 22 "mira hardly had time to ponder the chaos of the situation she was in.. after being reunited with her parents, at the end of the world, she decided to flee with them. theyd done it all for her, to get her back.. she would never forgive them, for the things theyd done, but.. she couldnt leave them. her parents had gone mad, losing her, and the empire would see them executed for their crimes against the valley. mira and her parents fled to the deepest layers of misenheim's royal catacombs.. searching through the rarest magic items, until they found it.. an ancient scroll, to open a gateway, one-way, to the forgotten land of her ancestors. an escape from those that her parents had wronged. with the red guard having abandoned their posts, mira could hear the imperial guard breaking in.. it would be now or never. and so, they fled through. the cold dusty air of the catacombs was replaced by a warm, earthy aroma.. foresty? something so familiar, but she couldnt put her finger on it. she and her mothers rested there, for the night.. free at last, from the empire. in the morning, mira decided to scout out the area.. theyd need food, and shelter, if atyri was anything like thiria. she encountered something strange at a small clearing.. there was a rusty rapier stuck in the ground, beside a half-buried.. metallic girl?" -the historian, 404sd

Map of Thiria

week 19 "the 402nd year dawns on the valley of thiria.. a land of snowy mountainous forests, as far as the eye can see, with small towns scattered across the land, united under the banner of the thirian empire (mostly). steep mountain peaks surround they valley's border, believed to be impossible to scale.. the thirians call this border 'the impasse', and have no idea what might lie beyond, but popular culture paints it as a 'land of storms', on account of the constant strong winds that blow in from the mountains. in this year, the empire, lead by king thiris, works to reclaim misenheim, a powerful trade city in rebellion. the civil war is at a standstill, now that the lake is uncrossable, and many wonder if the war will ever end.. but many are hopeful that a resolution will be reached soon" -the historian, 402sd hi hi! here is week 19. im not doing so well, so i just touched up some old unposted artwork. took 7 hours, and has only 25 unique colors. thank you for checking out my work, i hope you have a wonderful week! ♡

Shelter from the Storm

week 18 "arin and ranei, taking shelter from a storm. the endlessly stormy forests of lazure offer them little time to rest.. but theyve been lucky with finding food, and found an overpass which can protect them from the storm, for the time being. after starting a small fire, theyre able to dry off, for the first time in a long time. food will eventually run dry in this area, so they cant stay here forever.. but theyll enjoy the fire and food while they have it, enjoying a rare moment of respite with one another" -the historian, 723sd hi hi! week 18, already? time flies by so quickly. anyways, wanted to draw some cute catboys.

Tetsuka, of The Resistance

week 16 "the rivira, decades ago, brought an end to the elemental war, but things have been far from peaceful in the region.. the magic of fire was banned across the realm, the fendites and all fire aligned were forced to submit before rivira rule, in hopes of bringing peace to the region.. but many rebel groups rise up, resisting this control. those who resist the reign, or practice fire magic in secret, often being sent to camps for rehabilitation, and labor. tetsuka was one of many, who refused to give up the fire of her ancestors. she worked in these camps for years, made to break her spirit.. but she trained, and practiced her magic in secret, and after many seasons of planning, she escaped.. she now lives on the land, wanted across the region.. she helps other fire aligned escape, and has become something of a legend, among the rebels.. though the bounty offered for her recapture only grows" -the historian, 582sd hi hi! heres week 16! ouh.. this one took longer than id hoped.. 6 hours, surprisingly only 66 unique colors, 800x1000. id drawn this girl in my sketches, and she inspired me.. wanted to give her a full piece! well, anyways.. thank you for checking out my work! i hope you have a wonderful week c: ♡

Baron Von Steuer

week 15! "nicknamed 'the tax collector' by the thirians of the valley, he is a wretched spirit of pure greed, valuing nothing besides his own wealth and riches.. he doesnt even realize hes dead, gleefully dancing around on his mountain of stolen wealth. few remember his life, but long ago, he was once one of the financial founders of misenheim, investing his whole fortune into it.. with its incredible prosperity, he made his investment back 100x fold, losing his mind to pure glee.. he made even the other barons seem poor. he practically owned the kingdom's wealth, and only wanted more. he pulled away from the valley, losing his mind and life to his wealth. for his whole life, he was a husk of a man, and now, he was even less than that. through his wealth, he managed to procure a method to extract 1% of the coin from every transaction in the valley, a tax almost matching that of the empire's, while contributing absolutely nothing.. a literal leech on the economy, contributing to the growing instability across the kingdom even at the end of the world, he went out of his way to take advantage of the situation, trading basic amenities for the fortunes of anyone trying to flee and survive. many were swindled out of their life's savings for what would be pocket change to the baron and his merchants. he is, without a doubt, the most hated individual in the valley, and there are groups dedicated to hunting him down in his elusive hiding place, and blasting his cackling skull to pieces" -the historian, 406sd hi hi! here is week 15! took me about 4 hours, and has only 144 unique colors. i figured ive been posting too many cutesy characters, so i wanted to draw a villain >:3. anyways, thank you for checking out my work! i hope you have a wonderful week ♡

Reunion with Quirrel ♡

week 14 "oh, hello there! seems we both tread far from the path. i can hardly believe those dusty old highways led to such a lush and lively place! this building suggests some form of worship, though its idol has clearly been long forgotten. doubles equally well for a moment's respite." -quirrel ahoy hoy! here is week 14 c:. this one took about 3.5 hours, and has 83 unique color values. thought its been a long while since ive drawn quirrel, so i gave it another go. anyways, thank you for checking out my art, i hope you have a wonderful week! ♡

Lorine and Songpup ♡

week 13 "a young rivira swims home, after a long evening defending her village. she is exhausted, but finds refuge outside her old home, resting against the outer wall. the flow of the lake has worn down the old wood and clay, and a soft moss clings to the windowsills and doorways. she waits for her big sister, clare, to return home from scavenging near the shores. shes out longer than usual, but lori knows her sister can take care of herself.. so she will give her a little longer, before she decides to go search. but as she waits, a songwolf pup glides over to her. she knows the pup is too young to be able to sing yet, but she finds them very cute. they have a little collar, so lori knows they must have a caretaker around here somewhere.. but she doesnt know anyone with songpups, so she decides the songpup can wait here with her for the night" -the historian, 204sd week 13! oh, goodness. im late as heck. rough week, i guess ><. this piece took me nearly 7 hours, somehow, and has 127 unique color values. ive never seriously tried a fully underwater piece, so this one was very tricky! im sorry if its not very clear. anyways, thank you for checking out my art! i hope you have a wonderful week c: ♡

The Kise of Akutay ♡

week 12 "her arrival is accompanied by great winds and rain. often preferring to dwell in her domain, she does not visit the mortal realm often.. but, when she does, it is a sight to behold. a tall masked creature bearing angelic wings, a wide brimmed hat, and tall rain boots. she carries the quillstaff, a symbol of guidance and creation, and an ethereal tool for changing the world around her. how she plans to enact this change, is yet to be seen" -the historian hi hi! welcome to week 12! this week's was kinda crazy.. 1800x1500, i usually dont do such a big size! this one took about 6.5 hours, and has 157 unique color values. im pretty proud of it ^^. anyways, thank you for checking out my work! i hope you have a wonderful week ♡

General Nova Chance ♡

week 11! "a fire aligned uprising has gathered at a castle of the guiding claws.. but the head councilman has sent their best, his top general.. nova chance. she is infamous for her ruthless efficiency. as a very powerful water bender, a demigod on her mother's side, she may be able to wash a small army away on her own, but it may only spark more uprisings, so she has her father's army stay back, and goes out to meet them alone. she holds a terrifying reputation, and all of the fire aligned know what she would do if they attacked now. she reasons with the uprising, and intimidates them.. she makes concessions, but not many. just enough to get them to back down and disperse.. she wont be so forgiving next time" aa, heres week 11! took about 4 hours, and has 140 unique color values. im sorry its not that great.. my head wasnt in the game ><. anyways, thank you for checking out my art! i hope you have a wonderful week ♡

The Naritune Priestess ♡

week 10 "deep in the forests of thiria, exists a towering but soft spoken lady, draped in clothes of moss and leaves. she is the reclusive priestess of the naritune druids, a religion devoted to the forests of thiria. though hundreds of years old, she seems not a day over 25, and bears no age curses, and yet.. perplexingly, she lacks the red hair distinctive of all young thirians. she appears as if she were birthed by the forest itself, with plants and flowers growing in her hair, and her very wings being composed of branches and leaves. she creaks slightly as she walks, and some suspect she is plant all the way through. she very rarely guides or helps her flock directly, opting instead to delegate her wishes through a druidic council, who lead on her behalf. the council delivers her message throughout the forest.. quite literally, tapping into the network of the trees to spread her word far across the valley. she is a kind soul, valuing the happiness of all life, and having immense power in the deepest regions of the forest, but she does not often like to meddle in the lives of mortals, instead preferring mostly to remain in the eternal forest, to comfort and guide her followers who no longer tie into the mortal realm. the naritune druids often follow in her footsteps, albeit to a lesser extent. theyre often more reclusive, and less invested in thirian society, often living in the woods in small independent communes, rather than in the cities and villages of the empire" -the historian, 404sd hi hi! here is week 10! took me close to 5 hours, with 183 unique color values. i think this one turned out very pretty, im happy with it ^^. anyways, thank you for checking out my art! i hope you have a wonderful week ♡

Versus Hornet Protector!

week 9! "come no closer, ghost. ive seen you, creeping through the undergrowth, stalking me. this old kingdom... a terrible thing awakens. i can smell it in the air... i know what you are. i know what youd try to do. i cant allow it." -Hornet hi hi! here is week 9! took about 4 hours, and fun fact, it has 66 unique colors. i figured, i am mostly doing akutay arts these days, but i thought id return the classics and draw hornet and little ghost! its obvious why the community loves them so ^^. anyways, thank you for checking out my art! i hope you have a wonderful week, hons ♡

Lost in Waterfell

week 8 "lila had been very young when she lost her home. the war had taken a turn for the worse, and it seemed like the whole village might be swallowed up by it.. her parents had decided to leave, for lila's safety. as they packed, they told her to go through the escape portal, and theyd be right behind her. no one knew where these exit portals lead.. it was a last resort, reserved for when there was no other options left. lila went through, to find a peaceful place.. colors she had never seen before, and rain much heavier than at home, despite there being no sky to speak of. there was no one around, so.. she waited for her parents. a couple minutes, at first.. then half an hour.. then hours, and eventually.. days. the rain never let up. she was cold, soaked, and hungry. she still prayed to lurielle to let her see her parents again, but she couldnt wait here any longer. she left her hidey hole, in search of help.. hopefully thered be someone here who could help her find her parents" -the historian, 204sd hi hi! heres the art of week 8! took me about 4 hours. quite late, because i overslept, but i hope you still enjoy it! im sorry its a sad one ;w;. but anyways, thank you for checking out my art! i hope you have a wonderful week ♡

A Stroll Through The Rain ♡

week 7 "an old akulyte walks through the rain, practicing her craft. so many years in darkness and isolation, now ready to return to the light. no longer burdened by expectation, no longer shackled by regret. she singlemindedly pursues her endeavor, and nothing short of divine intervention can stop her now" ahoy hoy! hope you like this week's art :3. im a bit late again.. this one took about 4 hours, i think im getting back into the swing of things! anyways, thank you for checking out my work! i hope you have a lovely week ♡

Cats in the Rain, Elen and Melon ♡

week 6 "in the caves of ryokai, on the outskirts of ferakova, a young rivira lady named elen, is resting, and playing her guitar. the rain falls outside, pattering the roof, and watering the flora. she is lonely, and a bit tired.. she had been gardening all of the morning, and 'crop sales' have been slow. she gets ready to wind down, and take a nap, but before she can set her guitar down, she hears a faint meowing from outside.. she decides to feel her way to the door, and scuffles her feet as she walks. she is completely blind, but her hearing is pristine. she shambles her way towards the meowing, and tentatively feels for the cat, and petting it. what is this fendite cat doing out in the rain? water burns all who are fire aligned.. most run, or hide. this cat seems soft, and friendly.. elen decides to shelter them, for now. they are fat and round, so she decides to nickname them melon, until she thinks of something better. shes never been much of a cat person, with how often they eat her crops.. but she will take care of this one, at least until the rain lets up" -the historian, 582sd hi hi! back again. this one took me about 4 hours, and agh, im later than id have preferred.. but i hope you still enjoy it! anyways, thank you for checking out my art, i hope you have a wonderful week c:

The End of The World

"a thunderous crack rings out from the peak of misenheim castle.. the apocalyptic ritual that had been warned of for weeks, has finally come to pass.. any hope that the queens had been bluffing, quickly evaporates, as the moon.. along with the very earth itself, begins to fracture.

the entire kingdom shook, and the light from the moon began to dim. entire regions were blanketed in darkness, and countless buildings crumbled. thousands fled into the dimensional exit portals, hoping to escape with their lives.. the valley knew the end was nigh, and the king and queen embraced one another, ready to go down with the ship.

and yet, at the foot of the castle, stands four heroes. the only people to make it past the red army. the only ones who might stand a chance against the queens. the last hope for thiria..." -the historian, 404sd hi hi! here is week 5! took me about five hours, but im fairly proud of this one hehe. anyways, thank you for checking out my art! i hope you have a wonderful new year c:

Scavengers of Lazure ♡

"two gaukren make their way back from the lazure ruins. theyve been searching for trinkets and cool things to bring back to their hideout.. theyve no need for food, so they mostly just collect whatever they think is interesting! that, and material to protect their stuff from the storms. they dont mind the rain, but when it storms, they risk getting washed away. despite this danger, imn is very nonchalant, and lazy.. sif doesnt understand them, but knows its better they work together. imn knows this place very well, so their knowledge is invaluable, even if they dont help much. and.. even if they didnt, imn is all sif really has. theyre alone together in this land, and they share a bond like siblings." -The Historian, 718sd

Second Chance ♡

hi! heres week 2, thought id post a ref sheet for one of my favorite characters! hope its up to snuff, i tried to make it look nice. i hope youre having a lovely day! ill see yall next week c: ♡ "Second Chance is a 26yr old rivira (water elemental cat), previously one of the beloved leaders of Kalida, one of the last Rivren cites in Ryokai. He wore a suit of fine fendite cloth, and an aketon cuirass over it.

Hes nearly blind, and very clumsy, but despite his intimidating scars, hes very kind, and devotes his all to his people, vowing to bring them up out of subjugation.

He plays the flute, can bend water, and wanders the Ryokai desert in secret, with his friends. He carries twin daggers, though he isnt any good with them anymore. His main strength in diplomacy and wit.. He seeks allies and lost rivira, so that he may someday bring the water people back to their former glory." Backstory:

"Some found it humorous to see one of the Kalida magistrate in commoner's aketon, but most found the fearful chieftan endearing.. He was humble, never saw himself above anyone. A cat of the people, ready to defend his people from the enemy fire.. personally, if need be.

One day, he proved it, when he went to intercept one of the fire country's caravan's with his platoon.. the same day his worst fears came true, learning it was an ambush. He thought he could at least salvage the mission by checking the caravan's package, only to realize it was a massive pack of explosives. It went off, and he was right next to it.

He was killed instantly, along with a few of his men.. it wouldve been his last mistake, if not for the fact a close friend of his being an enchantress, whom he often vented his fears to. She blessed him to survive one lethal blow.. but itd be at the cost of two of his greatest strengths, being his acuity and perception

He survived, but half his body was badly burned, he was nearly blind and deaf, permanently disoriented, and unconscious.. if not for his cousin and best friend carrying him off the battlefield, he wouldve never woken up. But wake he did.. to the burning of his town.

The caravan had been a distraction, to pull away the most able of the leaders.. they could not get back in time to help. Despair set in for Ponte.. but he had no time to mourn, for the fire country was hot on his tail.. They had divided his group, the only chance that some of them to escape.

Ponte and his best friend were backed into a corner.. his cousin hands him a rare teleportation stone, and tells him to teleport, far away.. he knows he will do more with his life than most. they hug in a tearful embrace as the soldiers close in, and ponte teleports far away.

He wakes outside a village his family had visited when he was small.. vowing to make the most of his second chance, and save his people."

Serenity of Mondel ♡

"mondel, once a fairly small mining town, never had much of an economy.. at most a general store, since neighbors usually just covered each other's needs, being a small interconnected community. its metal deposits werent nearly as numerous as in drekow, so most empire sponsored miners went to the south for their trade.. but this all changed after the great serpent appeared, blocking off the great lakeside trade over night. mondel quickly became the valley's new primary mining city, and before the season's end, the population had already doubled, with more soon to arrive. a few of the older generation were upset with the drastic change in community, but most were welcoming of the new community and culture, bringing trade and breathing new life into the old town. far above the town, on the unreachable peaks above, an old mage watches, delighted to see their old town stronger than ever" -the historian, 404sd hi! i apologize about the long absence.. 8 months?! i guess ive been unwell for a while.. but im finally back! call it a season 2, perhaps? ive been practicing, and i cant wait to show you all the art ive been working on! see you all next week, much love! c: ♡

Akuta by the Cliffs

week 44? im a week late, but i might count it if i can catch up.. i dont know at this point. "i stand here at a new peak, and practice my craft.. the rocky waters below threaten its end, should i slip, but i have no fear of such an end.. an end is inevitable in all things, and to let fear ruin something beautiful in the now is a tragedy. to spend every moment in fear or regret is to never live. live beautifully, and passionately! live for those around you, to bring light into their lives. there is no greater purpose.. though, sometimes i wonder, if my work brings light at all, or if i waste my time at the precipice.. i wonder if i ever went back down, if theyd even accept me as i am now. perhaps it better i not worry about these things either."

hellow! one could say i am a little late, but i guess i got here eventually! i hope you like the piece, am sorry i didnt have it in me for a hk art this week ><, but thank you for checking out my work regardless! i hope you have a wonderful week <3

The Seer Waits ♡

"youve certainly made my dreary work here more exciting. being the caretaker of this place hasnt been very stimulating. i shouldnt complain, though. tending these graves and guiding the wielder... all penitence for old crimes. certain things have to be kept in balance." week 42! and i say, let there be purple! ive been wanting to draw this crazy old lady for a while, but this week i finally got to it! felt like she needs more rep, shes a lovely character. anywhos, been rough lately, but thank you for checking out my work! your support keeps me going, and i hope you have a wonderful week!

The White Lady ♡

week 41 "oh! one arrives. far it walks to find me. did it seek my aid? or did the path carry it by chance to so pertinent a place? i have a gift, held long for one of your kind. half of a whole. when united, great power is granted, and on the path ahead, great power it will need." aah! this was a weird drawing to make.. the white lady being a central character to the piece and a part of the background made it difficult to blend. not the most proud of this one, but i gave it my best, and i hope you enjoy it still! anywhos, thank you for checking out my work, i hope you have a wonderful week!

Sleepy Hatchlings ♡

"the hatchlings have no desire to eat or live, and will sacrifice themselves to protect their parent" theyre gonna make the glowing womb hatchlings THIS CUTE, and then make them little kamikazes?! team cherry is trolling with this one, smh. anyways, finally getting back on my feet, and im feeling good about the future. thank you for checking out my work! i hope you have a wonderful week <3

A Flower for Hornet ♡

i want to give the delicate flower to more residents of hallownest! why isnt it possible, team cherry?? arghhh! i guess realistically, hornet in particular is likely to accidentally damage it very quickly, but gosh darn it, we should be able to give a flower to our sister! thatd be super cute >:3
