: Odhr. The dead god of the @riesenlied world. Filler of Skies. Bringer of Joy. Taker of Breath. Giver of Gifts. Cage of Worldkind. A Resentful Parent. Its words and gifts weighing on minds and lives of generations since.

season's greetings to those who celebrate

Something for the @riesenlied world. I don't fully know what era and culture this one might belong to yet.

Some doodles of this gal named Daya, who is super duper important to my worldbuilding setting, conqering stuff, beginning a new age and generally just impressing a lot of humans and giants that she meets. Her whole deal is that she’s a prophet of a long-dead god, but claims to have met that god when she was just a kid. Touching her hands can cause giants to see strange visions and usually leaves them in tears. Twitter  •   YouTube  • Insta •  Patreon •  Worldbuilding Blog

Welcoming Daya. During Daya’s life time, only a handful of human communities still believed in the same god that giants believe in. They were quite excited to hear the new godly word that she was carrying. And quite eager to join her forces and help conquer the lands that would then make up her Welikanate. They would be later rewarded by becoming a ruling class among humans of that Welikanate. Fulfilling the giants’ orders as mayors, assistants, buerocrats, teachers, soldiers and police in human communities. Twitter  •   YouTube  • Insta •  Patreon •  Worldbuilding Blog

official trailer of that 9 minutes long graduation film (set in the @riesenlied world) that I spent the last handful of years making

some @riesenlied sketches of the following concepts: - giants herding sheep - giants keeping tigers as pets (I really want to make up some fictional fancy tiger breeds, that should be fun.)

@riesenlied content Here’s a new character that I didn’t get to develop much yet. He’s a saint named Niarto Toik and is part of the government of the Welikanate.

He is one of three parlamentarians who’s job it is to represent the traditional Artalamian communities there. This proves difficult at times.

Traditional Artalamian families are “mixed”. Which means they are made up of giants and humans. This is a huge part of their cultural identity and faith. Toik himself has numerous adoptive human family members and has been raised by both kinds. In those families both kinds have equal say in things. Which is not the case in the Welikanate overall. (The word Welikanate itself means “country ruled by giants”.) At that point in time Traditional Artalamian families are not in control of their homeland, Artalam, as they have been exiled from there a couple centuries after gods death. Since then, these communities have had no other choice but to live in countries that are strictly giant-governed, despite disagreeing with that kind of hierarchy and law. In this moment in time, there are two giant-ruled countries. Crownland and the Welikanate (Crownland has existed for many centuries at this point, the Welikanate less than a 100 years.) Artalamian communities are divided on which country to live in. Over all it seems like the Welikanate feels like a safer and less stressful place to live. But one of the only things keeping Crownland Artalamian communities safe at all is that there is a lot of them there and they are a relevant political force there. If too many of them were to leave and go to the Welikanate, that influence and safety might be lost. So there is no easy solution there. Back to Toik - his clothing there is a Welikanate uniform with Artalamian-style ornaments added to it. And he is known as a mediator and peacemaker, helping find compromises between different parliament factions. This includes talking to people like Kadi Samkiuliot - someone who his two fellow artalamian collegues will avoid interacting with at all cost because of her bad reputation about how horrible she can be towards humans.

Still trying to figure out the design of this guy. His name is Artevy. I feel too tired to try explain who that is and what his deal is or what’s happening in those gifs right now. But over all this is a big guy who is torn between his duty towards his god’s prophet and his duty towards the human culture he had sworn to protect.

Brainstorming doodle for a type of military unit that runs on something like this to keep up with (and shoot at) inhuman participants on the battlefield. (Likely during the mid or end golden age).

[bruneburg]

(@riesenlied related) A human noble from the Welikanate of Dayas People. There nobles are the link between humans and their inhuman rulers. Ruling over people in their name. This is the reward they get for descending from people that were the first to welcome the golden prophet and help her build her empire.

[bruneburg]

I was discussing @riesenlied and fantasy military strategy stuff with someone and had this horrible idea I felt I needed to draw for some reason and nobody was there to stop me.

Some recent Odhr drawings plus one old gif. At the time my grad film is set in, Daar is already permanently dormant, Odhr already torn to shreds and murdered by Ertu, and Ertu missing aswell. Leaving the mortals of that earth without any gods, but still burdened with their gods unsolved problems. Twitter • YouTube  • Insta • Patreon • Worldbuilding
