Young Ancient

And... here is one more age experiment.

It's really fun to make simple backgrounds for such portraits. Foremost it creates suitable atmosphere for each character and race.

Also on the neck of the Ancient you can see tattoo - it is a way map to their home world - planet Reagkhay. Unfortunately planet was destroyed a long time ago, and these tattoos are just a symbol of sacred memories, which Gkhalarers keeps through ages.

And here is sketch:

Sivalaary

First sketch in my new sketchbook of A6 size.

I thought that if this sketchbook has printed drawings of my characters from project "AGE of the DOWN" on its cover from both sides, then it should also have drawings from the same project inside itself as well.

And so, it's really rarely when I draw almost "middle-age" sivalaary (just look at his horns and see that they are much shorter and lost their pointy zigzagging form). 

(His age is about 3,100 of human years)

These are from today's morning. 

Also It's really been a while since I colorized anything by traditional paints. So... at least I tried x'D

Nereveen: sketch

Tried to make some unusual pose, because I feel that most of my sketches have lots of similarities and I really need to rid of it in further ones.

Hmm... and maybe I should make a few comic pages about nereveens and their life under water.

From my other thoughts: It gnaws me that this world have no proper story at all, only lots of parts and big holes between them... also maybe it's because I haven't created special characters for it like for my oldest projects. Or maybe it's just about ...

Stickers have arrived!

This is one more item I've been thinking about, and I'm totally satisfied how it turned out!

Also there is one more type of stickers will be ready soon, so I look forward to receive them! <3

Nereveens: sketches

Hmm, shorter but stronger? Or, maybe, these northern nereveens will be as separate people from the other northern (dwarf ones) nereveens.

I still need to figure it out...

Also I really like to play with them, so expect for more sketches soon~

Northern Nereveen

First sketch of northern nereveen. I think that they shall have more round forms in next ones, but still I pretty like it. Also they are much shorter rather nereveens from middle and tropical areas (especially you can see it by looking at their short necks and legs), and they also have additional fin on their tail.

Creature of Scorched Forest (col.v.1)

And here is colorized version of previous one.

I think that almost whole forest will have such structured parts. Definitely I'll need to try to make more weird shapes in future.

Creature of Scorched Forest (v.1)

Currently I'm working on one of the most important places of Forest Keepers' World, and that place is Scorched Forest - also known as Cursed Grove and Lands-Of-Ones-Who-Were-Betrayed. The last one name was given to it by Nereveens. They (nereveens, underwater people) always gives names that will show true meaning to all things.

More info still in stage of development, because I need to put together all reasons why some evil-minded folk decided to scorch all forest and all living creatures with...

P.S.: Seems I really love these colors :'D

Wanderer of the Deep

Here is one more creature for Forest Keepers' World (at least its first version).

I thought that it will be cool to create some kind of idol for nereveens, so that they can worship him as demigod. But of course he isn't. Wanderers are just too rare to meet anywhere close to surface, so they're almost a myth even for underwater people.

Magnets with prints

And here is news that I was talking about! :D

So, I was thinking about creating some stuff that you could hold in hands, and it was a test run for printed magnets. Unfortunately I'll look for new agency, because of a few of them arrived damaged of inaccurate cutting and had stains of paint. But still they looks not bad at all and I'll keep some on my board and on refrigerator.

Also what do you think about it? Should I move in that direction? Tell me your opinion down below!

Silent Forest Healer: color

Definitely I need to start work on plants for their world...

Still I'm pretty satisfied with the result, and I think that they can survive not only within forest territory, but deserts, too.

Also I think, that their corpses could serve like some kind of healing zones/shrines for local populations (after death their bodies turns into "mushroom's fertilize", and those plants on their backs expands to quite a size structures and stands for a few decades, so the others can find them and use ...

Silent Forest Healer

Design update for Silent Forest Healers! No more casual mushrooms! :D

As it is other world, I decided to throw away simple mushrooms and replaced them by... unsimple ones! They still have close silhouettes, but it's what I wanted to be exactly.

Also I think, that creature's healing power will depends from this plants, idk how exactly, but it will... (WIP)

Beach Keeper: color

Just colorized previous sketch. I really love to mix traditional and digital mediums.

Also stand by for upcoming news! I have a few ideas, and now I need to find a way to bring them to life.

Nereveen: species

I think that it's the best drawing of nereveen I have for this moment.

And so: nereveens are underwater people from Forest Keepers' World. Even if they trade with ones-who-walks-above, they still quite a wild folk. Also they don't use clothes under water (except harness, nets, bags and other needed for work stuff), but they need it on solid ground, because their skin is vulnerable to star's (I still thinking about proper name for it) radiation.

Beach Keeper

And here is Beach Keeper - lesser Keeper of coast lines.

One more idea I came up with today for the Forest Keepers' World. Based on tree snags which could be found near open water.

Also they have its own Ark Tree, different from Forest Keepers'.

So, here is first sketches of COS "Asidaran 00-1" AUT for the last, hmm... four years? Definitely I need to up one more skill.

Full-length:  Central Orbital Station "Asidaran two zeros one" of Associated Union of T'egra

This station is the heart of the T'egra's Union&Fleet, and also a home for hundreds and thousands of alien beings from most remote corners of the known Universe. Also Asidaran 00-1 is the main trade post for all four Unions, neutral zone and even for outsiders (...

Sitan: concept art

For me open-land environment is something divine and remote from what I used to, but still I want to push myself into it.

Sitan is the fourth planet of binary star system Assa, which is situated in Digela's Arm of Arnainskiy Cross galaxy.

Binary star's names: Asnatar (bigger one) and Savaradan (twice smaller).

System has seven planets in total (from first to last from stars): Oga, Di, Granderon, Sitan, Tladas (moon: Noma), Veylus (with three small moons) and Gas Giant (with one moo...

Sivalaary: info

It's really been awhile since I draw them last time... But, nonetheless, these sketches still looks like them, so it's still acceptable x'D just need a little bit more of practice...

As you already know: Sivalaary is materialized energy from Matrix World, released into our world by massive explode during Ancients' experiment of connecting the worlds. By centuries they swam across Universe and studied from every piece of life they could found on most remote planets and in most different galaxie...

Female Ancient

Tried to make more realistic portrait, but it still looks sketchy...

Among Ancients (Gkhalarer) females have more of purple tones in their color of skin and their body looks more compact and smooth instead of bulky and massive males' bodies. Males are also have differences in their color palettes, more common is cold tones of grey, but nonetheless there are also warm tones from brown to sandstone, and sometimes including terracotta and sepia.

Matrix nests: info

Matrix nests or, as it was mentioned earlier, places of growth of matrices (from now and on I will use word "nest" for describing that place).

So as you already know - matrices are core to Ancients' technologies as much as frame threads (it's purified frame plants, for more - search for "intro"), and of course there need to be something by which help (and how) these spheres could be reproduced. By using existed ingredients such as igriyeras (animals; there was needed its liquid) and frame plan...

EGO: game test

The first one level was made about 2 years ago, and after a year was a bit fixed and updated with an easier walk through. Unfortunately those last few years were tough as hell, because I had to finish university which I didn't like (it was journalism related), so I had to push myself everyday to not to quit from it and finally get my diploma. And here it is - seven month as I got my freedom! ...and sometimes I still have nightmares about it... x'D

These creatures could be compared to "moms", because their main purpose of life - always take care of offsprings, and because growing matrices are too similar to their eggs khard'aals became wonderful assistants for Ancients in this difficult and long-term work - to care for still soft and vulnerable matrices till they will be ready to be removed from its places of growth and placed into spaceships, station cores, armor, weapon etc..
