[emerald-dragonflame]

Welcome to my silly ass game idea: Left Hand Gun Club an otome game (that I'll probably never make cause I can't code), about these 4 boys, and how you win your way into their hearts. And I will fully admit: this is entirely self indulgent lol. Where I take a few of my own original main characters, and make them dateable.

It's unabashedly Christian, and (unsurprisingly) pro-gun. The name literally just comes from the fact that I somehow chose all my male characters that are specifically left-handed.

Ignore the fact that none of them are using their left hands in this picture lol

So lets meet the Boys!

Aharen Jacison

This Orc is the leader of both the Men's Bible Study, and the Gun Club. He's the eldest, and probably the most responsible, which isn't all that surprising, considering he's the only one with children. He's a single father who's been raising both his son and daughter alone for their entire lives. It would be nice if they had a mother to add to their family.

Brosmýr

Can you be both a jester and emo? Brosmýr seemed to have found a way. The poor man is exhausted 24/7, mostly due to his late night job. He is constantly drinking energy drink to the point your pretty sure his heart rate is at a constant 200 bpm. He's a bit of a shit-stirrer, and loves to make fun of Jekzün in particular, but there is something there that you just can't quite place. A sadness lurking in the back of his mind... And Brosmýr's not the type to kiss and tell.

Jekzün Ademz

The Dwarf with Napoleon syndrome. The man who thinks that the world is forever against him, so he bites back, hard. Don't let that cactus exterior fool you, though. Behind all the posturing and bravado is a genuinely good man, with a kind heart, it's just been hurt quite a bit.

Taliriktug

The youngest, and tallest of the group, Tali is a very quiet and gentle soul. The literal personification of the "Gentle Giant". To the point, he actually rarely speaks, usually only speaking in sign, or through the whiteboard he always carries with him. He would consider himself quite the simple Centaur, enjoying the modest things in life. He's a hopeless romantic through and through, and would love to one day settle down and have a family. However, there are a lot of problems he feels he needs to fix before even thinking about that.

The Reaper's Rose (Faux) Cover Art

Mochi Turtle now has a new name! And an actual plot that I'm working on (ish, I still plan on finishing Garden of Sandstorms and Evergreen's Leit before I get to this one). So I decided to make a fake noir/pulp book cover for it. Cause it fits the aesthetic quite a bit.

Summery on the back of the book:

"Detective Amelija Hunthrak* finally got the gig of a lifetime, when a rich and powerful Harpy stepped into her office for a proposal. 'Find out what my husband has been doing, and if you can; save him'. While on the job, she meets quite the oddity, a Dwarvish Assassin named Jakzün Adüm*. Or so he says.

Is he friend? Or Foe? Or... more?"

2, 17, 31?

2. Do you have a personal favourite among your OCs?

Yes and no. Most of the time I just get really excited over specific stories and characters at different times. Right now it's Evergreen's Leit's characters (Tali, Merya, Aki, etc.) but earlier this month it was Garden of Sandstorms (Üktanno, Dirai'ni, etc.).

17. Any OC OTPs?

Merya and Taliriktug (or just Tali) be the closest thing I got to an OTP.

31. Pick one OC of yours and explain what their tumblr blog would be like (what they reblog, layout, anything really)

Merya would totally have a Tumblr blog. She'd post mostly audio clips of her singing and talking about just random shit she enjoys.

Would absolutely be a bit of a troll, too.

I have been neglecting so many of my babies

Longing

It’s been a minute since I’ve drawn Tali and Merya, especially after I’ve basically finalized their designs. So, here they are… longing…

[emerald-dragonflame]

✅—Which character/plot point/etc would be your favorite to see on screen?

:]

Let’s see:

Garden of Sandstorms: Ironically enough, probably the scenes with Üktanno and the Emperor Hanztero. Just because of the fearful tension between the two. One side trying to figure the other out in a duel of wits. It is a romance at the end of the day, so I expect the tension between Dirai’ni and Üktanno to be juicy, that’s required, but the battle of wits, now that’s something that would be fun to see.

Evergreen’s Leit: This is a bit spoiler-y, so I’ll try to keep it as obtuse as possible. Let’s just say that Taliriktug and Merya’s pasts and characters would be so fun to see on a screen.

The Reaper’s Rose: Again, spoiler-y, but I think the main mystery (along with the romantic tension, because I am a hopeless romantic at the end of the day) would be awesome. Also the way I’m trying to figure out how the weapons work, the animation on those things would be fucking awesome!

Blood of the Halfbreed: The magical girl transformation and the weapon animations, hands down. But that’s also because I’m still working out the plot kinks.

Fanta-sci-fi story: The character interactions, and the voice acting, assuming that my writing is good enough that I can make really good dialogue, the thought that I can hear this found family interact as a family just makes me all happy and giddy inside.

[emerald-dragonflame]

Did both a Tali and Merya drawing in my comic style. Though, this is more of the "it's a really pivotal scene, so it's gotta look good" style. Now, I can really start working on backgrounds and things like that, which I think I'm gonna make them watercolor, as a nice contrast.

[emerald-dragonflame]

Tail: share a fluffy or cozy snippet.

Walking through the village, a couple of young Centaurian children without spirit animals run towards Oki and Tali. They run around their legs, laughing and playing, one even looking up at Tali and Aki.

Child #1: Tøra-bara* Aki, Tøra-bara Taliriktug! Where are you going?

Child #2: Why doesn’t Tøra-bara Taliriktug talk anymore?

Child #3: Are you going hunting?

Child #4: Can we come?

Aki: (laughing) Yes, we’re going hunting, and no you can’t come, we aren't your parents.

Tali places a hand on one of the children’s heads, and smiles down at them, ruffling their hair in the process. They giggle, trying to push him off of them.

Child #1: Tøra-bara! Sto-op! (giggle)

Tali chuckles, removing his hand from the child’s head, as they continue running around both his, and Aki’s legs, both Tali and Aki’s spirit animals chase the children around.

*Tøra-bara (teu-rah-bah-rah): a term used when talking to an older male who is unrelated to you. The literal translation is "unrelated older brother"

Ask game

[emerald-dragonflame]

The poll isn't done, but most of you seem to want to see my version of an Otome "game" (as in, I have no idea how to code, but I thought it would be fun to draw the dateables). That being said, the boyos that are gonna be in this "game" are:

Brosmýr the Raven (Journey of the Flying Serpent)

Aharen Jacison (Stardust Nibiru)

Taliriktug (Evergreen's Leit)

and

Jekzün Adems (The Reaper's Rose)

See you in a couple of days

[emerald-dragonflame]

Welcome to my Art Blog, Where I draw everything from fan art to (fan)OCs to my own original stories. While I'm in many fandoms that span many different genres, all my original works are (romantic) fantasy, with lots of worldbuilding involved

I have 2 other worldbuilding blogs for my original works if you wish to only see that:

@lost-locket-antiques - A completely original fantasy universe that ranges from ancient fantasy to sci-fi fantasy. With fantasy races and even original alien species

@the-flying-serpent - An alternate history story set on the Mediterranean Sea during the 1100s. Where magik, Mages, and monsters are very real, and very, very dangerous.

My Tags:

#my art - art tag

#heckin great art - other people's art that I like

#fan art - self explanatory

#journey of the flying serpent - alternate history adventure fantasy (a priestess, a knight, and a merchant set sail towards Greece to help the priestess become more powerful)

#stardust nibiru - adventure sci-fi fantasy (the adventures of a band of space bounty hunters)

#stardust nibiru 2 - early stage sequel of stardust nibiru (the story of one of the bounty hunter's kids become a space archeologist)

#garden of sandstorms - ancient fantasy (an Orc soldier and a Gnome gardener fall in love during very turbulent times)

#evergreen's leit - romantic fantasy (a Mermaid stumbles into a very small Centaurian village located in the middle of nowhere. The Mermaid seems to be hiding more than she lets on)

#the reaper's rose - noir fantasy (an Orc detective and a Dwarf assassin pretend to be married to solve a case)

#blood of the halfbreed - urban fantasy (a group of collage aged band members gain the powers of magical girls)

[emerald-dragonflame]

Ok... so... All my WIPs in (in-universe) chronological order are:

An ancient fantasy story about a soldier falling in love with a gardener and wondering if what he is fighting for is truly worth it, and the gardener wondering if this is all her life amounts to (Garden of Sandstorms)

A basic fantasy about two very broken people coming together after trying desperately (and failing) to run away from their pasts. Only to grow and learn to deal with their BS together (Evergreen's Leit)

An epic fantasy about self worth, identity, and what truly makes a human (Blood of the Halfbreed)

A 1920s fantasy about a private eye and an assassin taking out a major government conspiracy (The Reaper's Rose)

And a sci-fi fantasy about a rag-tag group of either gun-smugglers or space explorers that just takes characters that I had for Star Trek and rehashing them for my own world... (Currently Unnamed)

...

How the fuck I'm I gonna write all these in one lifetime? I ain't Brandon Sanderson

Taliriktug's formal wear (+ Jurklid)

Finally, I've figured out this man, at least kinda. This was suppose to be Taliriktug's (tah-lee-reek-tuhg) normal wear, but fuck me if it ain't way too colorful for what I'm going for. But I like it enough for it to be something formal. Also he has his white hair back! Yay! (It looks way better honestly, I don't know what I was thinking)

Also, the animal he's based on, the jurklid (yuhrk-leed). A steadfast and strong animal that's considered holy to Tali's tribe. So, him being the son of the Løknngir (Leuk-ngeer - Shaman) and a jurklid is quite the high status you can get in his Village.

Also, I've come up with the idea that Centaurs, due to the fact they have some control over the animal's they're connected to, it's tradition for young Centaurs to find and tame their animal. so I've decided that this picture also shows his pet jurklid (name still pending)

[emerald-dragonflame]

The absolute audacity of this woman saying something like this, while being held.

I think I finally got an idea for Tali's clothing, though it might be a bit too bright, but the vibes are there. And if you're wondering, yes, this is Merya and Tali's entire dynamic.

I also think this is gonna be what the comic looks like.

For @pistachiozombie’s Art Contest

This file was so fucking big, I had to take a capture of the fecking PNG… and so if it looks weird, I’m sorry.

This took me a very long time to make, for a story quite simple: My OCs, Meara and Taliriktug, meet Leanna and Bofur near Tali’s Village. Both he and Meara invite them to talk in his home, since it’s so cold outside, to talk about all kinds of things. Mostly about both of their relationships.

The lads just gushing over their ladies, lol.

Anywho, enjoy~

The Ijiraq

Did you know that in some Inuit places, parents put bells on their kids’ clothing to know where they are? Imagine the very thing meant to keep you safe, was the thing that endangered you the most.

The Ijiraq is kinda the equivalent of the eskimo boogie-man, used to scare children into obeying their parents… or at least that’s about as much as I could glean from the internet, seriously, there is so little research done on Inuit culture, that I kinda have to make up crap as I go along.

If y’all can help me find any reliable sources at all, I’m more than willing to get more educated on this subject.

Anyhoo, in Evergreen’s Leit, the Ijiraq is known to steal children away, never to be seen again. It cannot be killed, only pushed away, and in this picture we see a young Tali being attacked by this monster. He is later saved by his late grandfather, who died protecting him.

Tali was scarred for life after that incident, and vowed never to freeze again if this demon from his childhood ever showed itself near his home.
