Sparky, doing some inter-dimensional tourism, got an offer from Yezukh’ay to meet Lukaud while they changed into their female gwil aspect. They mentioned the lurin wouldn’t be wearing any clothes when they exited their nest sphere, which predictably caught Sparky’s attention. Yezukh’ay didn’t mention that Lukaud’s gwil form intentionally lacked some details, and also found his attempt to conceal his disappointment hilarious.
I made some updates to Lukaud’s gwil aspect, including some new patterns, pockets, and some divisions on the chest of their outfit, as well as new spots on their feet.
Gardening season is still a ways away, but I wound up setting up a scene with some characters doing some spring prepping. The stage is based on my actual backyard garden.
Building off the updates to the Red Triplets work from the previous update, here is a new addition to this group. Though the central characters of the story are known as the Red Triplets, they are actually part of a set of sixteen. Like Bayzil, a few of the other members have an additional curse upon them. Nemi is one of those, which manifests as a physical corruption that begins in her left hand and eventually works down her arm. Ultimately, the infection becomes fatal. In one life, she attempted to subvert the curse by amputating her arm, but the curse’s presence stayed linked to the rest of her body and still infected her.
In her next life, she got help to contain the curse’s presence in an orb. She still had to have her lower arm amputated, but an artificial arm was crafted to hold the orb and this contained the curse.
Now, there is another element to this curse, and it has given Nemi a title of the “‘Beast of Oblivion’s Claw”. She can summon up three parallel magical blades from her cursed hand that can cut though any matter like it was moving through air. Using the claws causes the curse’s corruption to accelerate, so she is limited to how often she can use them. With the containing orb, this no longer endangers her life, but she does eventually have to purge the poison from the relic lest it burst.
The Red Triplets previously had a lazily applied CSD sigil marking at the center of their backs. Even earlier on, that mark looked like the number 8 inside a circle, which may have been the result of even lazier mirroring. Last year, I made a wall decoration which stylized the CSD sigil to resemble two tails. I have now applied that design to the mark on their back. During the process, I also performed some cleanup on the body texture, including combining three separate images into one.
Now that there is an actual Creative Spark Dragon, I have brought them into the eclipse scene.
Entering the winter months here, so I made a new scene of winter incarnate. Now with a giant ice prerart to be her steed/buddy.
The above scene is during the Obmunjalae’s periodic visit to an island of suyens. Lukaud just dropped off supplies and they’re taking off, but the the two noticed a suyen making an escape off the island towards the vessel. Lukaud is subtly pushing the throttle back.
For now, Vangeren is using the model for Miryin from Shehsai the Purifier.
I’ve recently revisited the written story of Yezukh’ay, and that inspired me to stage some scenes from the story and make some other various updates to the vessel.
This is an update to an earlier scene, with the current design for the suyen characters and some changes to the design of the vessel “Obmunjalae” that the characters are riding on.
Yezukh’ay, the suyen making the jump in the middle, escaped their impoverished island by leaping into the Voidplane with some makeshift wing paddles and swimming over to the Obmunjalae as it was departing. When they grew up, they got into void leaping as a sporting activity.
There are a number of onlookers:
Bottom: Lukaud of the Lurin shapeshifters. The owner of the Obmunjalae vessel and Yezukh’ay’s caretaker.
Right: Tisi of… an unnamed aquatic race of plane natives. An oddity, as very few significant bodies of water exist on the Voidplane.
Far right: Kemadrel of the tanteru, and one of the three Council Lords of Sha Repart.
Above: Tatyakori of the dragons, and another member of the Council Lords of Sha Repart.
Left: The suyen Ontakh’in, the chonkier of the siblings that are employed as attendants of Tatyakori.
Standing on Tatyakori’s head: The suyen Ibril, Ontakh’in’s sibling.
It became quite apparent that introducing the robolds to Crazy Sweet Delights Robotreats was a terrible mistake.
A parody of a poster for the classic boomer shooter (I guess that’s what they call them now) Doom that I had actually owned at one point.
And the obligatory note on the title: kobolds say “yip yap”, robots say “beep boop”, therefore robolds say “yeep yoop”.
