To take a break from Griffeuxes:
Feylands Government System!
They use to hold a multitude of Monarchies across the continent, but after several riots against the multiple monarchies and a lot of cleaning up: Six organizations came about to instill order and have been working cleanly after a few hiccups.
I have unifying colors for them and Flags!
In order:
Gis (Argriculture & Rural affairs)
Thalimis (Architecture, infrastructure & Water incorporation)
Ourinis (Communication, Transportation & Imports/exports)
Nekis (Law Enforcement & Millitary matters)
Mageis (Education)
Ygeis (Healthcare)
All the original leaders commissioned or hand-crafted their flag.
(Socialist Oligarchy With six major Organizations)
Some Draconic generals before I dive into Wyverns and the other folks!
Since both dragons and drakes exist in Feys; the collective term is draconic for all four large reptile/mammals.
If Griffeux need a dinner. . .
This is more “if Griffeuxes had a meal together,” then “this is how they eat everyday.”
Daily life, since Griffeuxes travel every night, Griffeuxes tend to collect a lot of odd things to chew on if they can’t hunt down a meal. Jerkied meats, dried fruits, nuts- anything that’d fit in a small bag and wouldn’t get in the way. A trail mix!
Or they eat everything as they catch it. It’s either way for them. They absolutely prefer their meats/fish raw compared to their vegetables though.
House/structure concepts. The human characters I’m developing come from a lineage of marsh and delta-dwelling peoples that have a thriving ceramics culture due to the naturally abundant clays carried by the river and deposited on its shores. Settlements appear on scattered hilltops along the borders of the delta and the plains, which rise above the highest seasonal flooding. Temporary structures on floating platforms are common further into the delta floodplain during summer food-gathering expeditions.
Permanent homes and buildings are made from a cob-like clay and fiber mixture, often with wooden supports; young saplings are preferred due to their flexibility and can conform to the desired circular shapes. In resource-rich areas, some structures can be “fired” by filling the chambers with wood and charcoal and burning for days, partially or wholly vitrifying the thin walls. Most towns have a large central kiln; ceramics are a major trade export.
Their architecture takes on rounded shapes due to an ancient association of thrown bowl forms with the hearth and womb, though that history is not necessarily relevant or common knowledge to everyday people. Circular and spiral motifs recur in design and architectural planning due to wider cultural and religious understanding of The Spiral as the guiding force of magic and the rhythms of existence. The arrangement of cosmic bodies is conceived of as an overlapping spiral pattern, the intersections of which have tangible effects on magic-users’ ability to channel The Spiral’s cosmic power. It is said that dragons’ ichor contains fine particles of starstuff which reverberates with cosmic energy and increases their power and connection to The Spiral beyond what any human could achieve.
Cool comic person reblogged a friends work!!
Thing I made for my conservation of natural resources class.
Honestly when people say their art needs to get "more weird" they usually mean that as in "less commercial/less broadly appealing" and I think the answer to this is not to insert artificial Quirky Weird Style Stuff into it I think you just need to get uncomfortably earnest. What's the thing you really want to draw but feel shy about putting the effort into because it'd be too sincere an admission. You need to draw that. I want to see it
