Cause assuming they don't, and horses and dogs and cats live relatively the same across Middle Earth regardless of who is caring or them, then literally why the FUCK are we assuming Elves have had their first "Short-lifespan trauma" when they meet a human and then experience first hand that human's short lifespan when they've been having to deal with their beloved pets dying off every 10-30 years or so since forever???

alternatively if elven horses and dogs and etc do live longer than those of men, I can imagine certain breeding practices among the human civilizations to elongate the lifespan of their animals 🤔 like, what if certain breeds just live longer because they've been cross bred with the elven variety over time

Here are my initial test pages, from just before I came on board to draw the book. Suvi & Ame's first meeting, plus my first Eursulon design sketches.

Some wacky illustrations for a short dissertation I wrote for my Masters, exploring the relationship between medieval illuminations, marginalia, and online ads.

concept for some radio dragon. might use it, might not, either way a fun thing to draw

so these are inspired by female isopods from the genus Gnathia which have this massive brood pouch. The idea here is that this dragon's metamorphosis results in this worm-like limbless adult which occupies the brood pouch of an existing large crustacean livestock animal. the crustacean then acts as an exosuit, supporting the dragon on long journeys out of their underground and strictly aquatic home with the aid of a carapace that holds in moisture. the hive employs few of them because of how complicated they are to create, but they are extremely useful for combing over debris that has fallen to the ground beneath an aerial dogfight, rescuing downed dragons and riders, and cutting up enemy infrastructure for transport back to the airbase.
