The prehistoric lands were filled with extremely large and ferocious predators - large macros that could eat an entire tribal town in a few moments. This was convenient for Fang, who could just pick up several of them in one go and eat the lot of them.
I do absolutely love drawing pictures like this - close ups, of macros holding large chunks of land is certainly one of my favourite things in macro.
Alright! Time for the post-confuzzled colouring poll. I've picked 6 of the drawings from the con for you to choose from. Who would you like to see drawn?
Vote for three pictures, and the one with the most votes wins.
Do not vote for the same picture twice or I'll only count it once. You can view all the pictures here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/0rtzbnad1vm4x7l/AABtLUH...

So, I spent the majority of the past week having a wonderful time at ConFuzzled. There's nine sketches included in this all of which are traditional, mostly of my characters, but there's a bunch belonging to Alterflane and Maniko, who I was drawing with the entire con.
While I felt I drew less than some of the previous years, the pictures were certainly of a higher quality.
...Which is totally what happened. I certainly didn't spend the entire con playing boar...

I played a few games of Carcasonne with Misty Crom, Alterflane, Maniko and Zeem at Confuzzled back in 2016. One such thing that became of it, was a small doodle which I drew for Misty of another placing a huge meeple right next to him.
Two years later, and we're coming up to CFz once again, only this time the theme is "Games", be it Videogames, boardgames, whatever. So in light of this, Misty asked if I could complete said picture to be used as a door sign.
Two years later, and we...

Here we have Kiya outside of her temple. There's something rather wonderful about a lovely demigoddess, just being casually taller than the biggest buildings in the temple.

Oh huh. It feels like there's a lot of moisture in the air all of a sudden. As if a sudden deluge is about to happen. What could tha- oh no!
Vapour can be quite a jerk. Actually that's an understatement. She can be a lot of a jerk. And here she is doing just that, about to paw an entire city, and a few smaller macros in the process!
Cameos from Lucibelle, Mawie Pyre, and Zosia,

This turned out to be a really fun set, with an awful lot of bigness throughout. There's a lot of planet sized folks in this one, viewed both from space and planetside, and a four part growth sequence of Viridian down there at the bottom!
One of the things I was aiming to do while drawing these refsheets was to create an interactive environment for viewing references for my characters. As such, Here's my interactive reference viewer.
You can move characters about and show or hide layers. You can also toggle between costumes on those characters that that have multiple, and also add as m...

And finally, we have Tethys, the second of the pair of evolutionary gods. The planet worn be Tethys is one of the actual planets that she and Nubium have created, and she cycles between various planets. The planets they have made are all life bearing planets and are located at various points in the galaxy.
Tethys is more commonly associated with being a Goddess of Life, Earth ,and such, but both she and Nubium share their responsibilities.
Nubium is one of the pair of evolutionary gods, two extra-dimensional gods who work together to create worlds. The moon worn by Nubium is one of the actual moons of one of their planets, much in the same way that Tethys' planet is actually one of their planets, and the pair can switch them out for their other systems.
Nubium is a hard working God, but both he and Tethys have to abide by all the laws of the universe. They can't just "poof" a planet into existence. They can however t...

Eleve is a classmate of Erika's, and is a "Leafeon" in appearance. She actually has four different refsheets included here, one for each seasonal form. I've put them all in one post rather than split them up.
Eleve is hard working, popular, and tall - all things that bug Erika about her. She also often wears huge platform shoes to make her seem even taller in height.
While not depicted here, she also has a similar set of gravlets to Erika and August which she'd u...

August, Erika's (much) bigger sister. August is currently studying advanced terraforming to the Araltian equivalent of a masters degree, and is extremely good at it. So while Erika destroys planets, August creates them. Due to it's small size, August still lives and studies in the same house as her younger sister and her mother, Evie.
August's tail is absolutely massive, at 1.5 times her height is works out as being around 3m long relatively speaking, or in real terms somewhe...

Erika, The biggest, little menace the galaxy has ever seen. Erika is big. Actually scratch that. Erika is extremely big. At a height of 4,593,176ft she is bigger than most countries. But relative to other Araltians, she is absolutely tiny, measuring in with a base height of 140cm.
Her main interests are space and breaking things. As such, she spends most of her time breaking things in space, mostly planets as they crunch wonderfully. She also collects smaller planets a...

The third and final of the trio of characters from the Frozen North. Saari is another friend of Lumi and Niamh's from their town in Svalbard. She is quiet and loves reading and helps the other two girls out a lot with their studies often. Being a part ghost type, she is extremely light, and can even take on an ethereal form to levitate for a short while.

Niamh, the fastest Glaceon on a snowboard. ...Or skis... or in a wingsuit, or pretty much anything you let her have a go at.
Niamh is a close friend of Lumi and Saari, and spends the vast majority of her time throwing herself off snowy mountains cliffs with a board strapped to her paws at silly-fast speeds. She's extremely good at snowboarding, but also very good at a wide range of extreme sports. She is really driven and is continuously pushing not only herself, but those around h...

Lumi is the first of the characters from the Frozen North, an alternate version of Svalbard. She is a guardian who protects the village as explained in detail on the refsheet.
Lumi's growth trigger is that under normal circumstances, she can grow or shrink at will. If she gets any colder, she finds it increasingly hard not to grow. The warmer she is, the more effort she has to put into growing.
She has ice abilities too with being a Sneasel. These inc...

Lucarina has been the character to undergo the largest change with the refsheets. She's now a full on punk Roller Derby girl who enjoys growing large and causing trouble on the town - Buildings are for grinding, roads for leaving giant trenches down, and motorway on ramps, jumps.
Aura energy builds up through adrenaline gained from her races, brawls or even just her romps around town. This energy builds up inside her and leaves her feeling pent up, and antsy. So to has to burn off ...

Sasha is a cursed Eevee, who constantly has two other voices in her head beside her own. The two spirits occupying her thoughts can control Sasha's sentient hair, in a way that can lash out and grab things if Sasha loses control. In her earlier life Sasha had a lot more trouble with controlling the spirits, but has recently learned managed to tame them to the point where she has full control most of the time. This gives her a lot more control over her size and the hair.
Here we have the first major troublemaker of my cast! Vapour is a size shifting, (but mostly megamacro-sized) Vaporeon. She spends a lot of her time causing major issues for ships, boats, beaches and coastal villages. She can size up by absorbing water, and change between solid, semi liquid and completely liquid forms.
When megamacro she is very casual and carefree with her destruction and doesn't mind stepping on a city or two in her way.
She also really enjoys teasin...

Now for the modern day characters! Mawie is an anthro Mawile, 78ft in height. She is energetic, bouncy and full of life, but very clumsy at the same time.
The large maw on the back of her head works as a fully functioning mouth, complete with a large tongue.

Final of the four prehistoric characters, Scareye is rash and foolhardy and very often ends up in situations "way above her head". That said, she's certainly capable of getting the upper hand on some of her other rivals, but she will never pose a threat to Fang. She is tomboyish in appearance and wields a giant club at all times.
Third of the prehistoric group is Onyx. She's by the fussiest of the prehistoric characters, which in an eat-to-grow world, doesn't help her all that much.
She has high standards. She wants to look her best, and she'll only eat food that's nice and clean. None of these micros that are dirty or have huge scars or bruises on them. It must be organic, no GMO- wait. Okay scratch that last bit.
Medulla is one of the largest of the prehistoric characters, but always second to Fang. As such, Medulla is jealous and frustrated, and tries to best Fang, only to fall short (and usually fall straight into Fang's open maw), every time.
That said, she's still a ferocious force to be reckoned with and can often swallow other rival macros with little effort.
Fang, the biggest and most ferocious of my prehistoric characters, and the apex predator of the Pleistocene era. Fang tends to gain size from eating, which is a thing she does an awful lot of, and as such, she tends to get very very big.
Her favourite snacks include mammoths, mastodons, and every single one of her prehistoric rivals.
Over the last half a year, in between other projects and such I've been working on ref sheets of all my characters and also an interactive reference viewer to view them all.
Here we have Kiya, the Ancient Egyptian Demigoddess Sphinx. She's a favourite of quite a lot of folks, so I assume you all know her well - and if not, I'd better get drawing more of her.
At 1m 53cm or 5' exactly, she's actually one of my shortest characters, but that certainly doesn't stop her. She...

One thing Araltians never expect to see while taking off at the Araltian Gravlifts are a giant Goddesses - Erika here seems to have gotten rather lucky!
I decided I really wanted to colour this one too, so here we have Hyva's visit to Araltys in full colour.
Hyva belongs to AlefGP.
Well, pigs are flying and hell has frozen over. I actually finished the expressions early for once. We've got a batch of 9 requests for various things. Facepalming Gods, Easter Dinosaurs, Noseboops, A couple of unconventional pokemon, a gigantic wrestler, and a bunch of birds in glasses!
Here we have Selisha growing up rather quickly, leaving a rather nice trail of growy pawprints to grab a shiny thing.
This was the runner up in the most recent poll, but I decided to colour it anyway, as it was such an extremely tight result, that had Jazzy not voted for this first, then Erika second, Selisha would have won.

Now that I've accumulated enough of these to post up again you can see these. You may have seen a few of these on twitter, as I do post them there as and when they're drawn, but they can get lost or overlooked on there, so it's nice to have them all in one bundle too.
This batch was very heavy on my own characters, Oonly two of them belonging to someone else, and both of those were Eclipsis' Zenythia. There's some really fun pictures in here though.
