oh heck

Little progress update on this illo of Pel and Mikhal.

Been painting a lot of ocs lately and I never know what’s worth posting.

Left to right: Alaris, Niran, Mikhal, Maegolian, and Tyvierin

Welp, back on my Pel bullshit. We’ll see how far I get on this one >:U

The guy in the foreground is my character, Mikhal. An old friend of Pel’s from her first days in the southern territory. This initial interaction is how the two of them first met. When an injured Pel was caught stranded, abandoned and alone in the Ruanhain Canyon.

Still very much a WIP. Revisiting a sketch page I started on for Yei a while back. I am still overly reliant on teal-blue tones buuuut I think he’s turning out pretty neat :0

Exhausted, Asht simply looked on in disgust as the blue spectral form of Erracor loomed. It shifted silently. Weaving, wending its way through the still air. Its cold, yet familiar, enshrouding presence surrounded him from all angles. He felt the chilled vice of elongated fingers clasped possessively around his shoulder as he turned. Four spiraling horns jutted in a wide sweeping arc from the creature’s brow, encircling the two of them like cage.

The pulsating glow of that ever present orb, the sealed marker of Erracor’s entrapment, danced energetically above his forehead. His gnarled maw split eerily into a jagged grin of almost karmic amusement as he leaned in to Asht’s right ear, “Well,” his voice croaked, “Isn’t this an unprecedented achievement? Ten millennia of status quo, squandered in nearly a century and a half,” he mocked, “You spread your curse to the next generation, Ashtearul. And, evidently, to me…” The spark illuminating the old one’s stare burned with loathing.

Thought up an interaction I wanted to recreate between Ashtearul and Erracor. Of course, when karma inevitably caught up to Asht, the old specter couldn’t pass up the opportunity to taunt him.
