It seems I am only capable of WIP snips at the moment 😂 but this time at least they’re dancing in front of K’aresh

WIP Preview of a piece of Malvoren and Xal'vir's past. Malvoren was a repentant Man'ari for many years because he was forced into the legion as a child.

He saw what I was like for the slaves, so he freed himself and started to free them, finding Xal'vir along the way.

This evening was mildly full of concept arting for my book series, got a few ideas I'm set on for the Syrosti race.

Next pages will be about their expressive ears and tails.

A City Caste Syrosti (Mystics) named Varnin (The Main Character), more slender, plantigrade legs and a bone crest instead of large horns. There is an absence of runic tattoos since they are so powerful with the 'gift' they do not need to siphon it through their bodies to call upon its true power.

Unlike Varnin shown, the City Caste Syrosti have the same eye colours as their cousins, typically, yellow, orange, red and white, but Varnin was born with a curse and lacks a visible eye colour.

A Wild Caste Syrosti. Thicker tails and digitigrade legs allow them to adapt to the vast sands of Syrost. Their body is covered in runic tattoos, unlike their counterparts, they are weaker with the gift and require the tribes mystics to engrave runes into their skin to allow the gift to be channelled through them.

What they lack in mastery over the gift they make up for in strength.

A little diagram of information on Syrosti teeth. City Caste Syrosti (mystics) have smaller canines than the Wild Syrosti.

Thank you! It might take a while but I intent to finish it 😂❤️

Xalaeth @xalaeth.bsky.social · Sep 14

You can tell it's a wip when you say the same thing twice. It was meant to say "you can return to your home, return to life as you know it." fml

Xalaeth @xalaeth.bsky.social · Sep 14

Some sneaky peeks at an up coming piece I'm working on and hoping my tablet can actually live up to it.

It's an important part of my sith warrior's history. bor and was made through sith alchemy. Some ords were very interested in the ability. They wanted to capture him and the alchemist.

#WIP

Varnin's father Veyrhan aka Darth Tenebris. Varnin is barely a few days old clutching onto his father's chest. Veyrhan stands with his light saber drawn in defiance.

A rival Darth with his hand outstretched ordering Darth Tenebris to hand the boy over, though not seen in the image, his saber is also drawn.

✨ How I draw beards ✨

This was actually so fun to do. I've never properly thought about my beard-drawing process- I usually just go straight in! 😂👍💖

💡 To summarise it:

if u have artists in ur group and they post art its important to actually tell them that u like it and interact with it b/c man it hits me occasionally how demoralizing it is when you have people who dont bother looking at your shit unless you prod them to

Using reference from the anodyneprintware.com/planets/, ya boy made his own in excel to make up planets for another series which is part of the same universe as the detective one. Just... 5,000 years in the future.

These are the first two planets!

I know WIPs are usually for my ☕️ subs but, man I got back into SWTOR and fell in love with my Sith Warrior again

He’s so damn pretty I adore him

Do I love Ronan that much I make him in every Universe? Yes, yes I do. Did I make him a bounty hunter in SWTOR that plays like an Operative? Yes, Yes I did.

He still looks absolutely unimpressed with everything.

Xalaeth @xalaeth.bsky.social · Jul 15

Ronan has a Pokemon team now.

(I tried to include one of each Gen but 1 and 2 kept conflicting with the other gens types so I went with two gen ones - but hear me out! They're different regions on the same continent with the same Villain Group. That's my excuse and I'm sticking with it!)
