#danyla

Newest camping watercolor painting, Mabari edition.

Painting a brindle coat is not something I've done before, but at least it sorta looks brindle?

I'm so out of practice when it comes to animal anatomy. >_<

Eyes are always what really trip me up. *sigh*

Her and Zephrine are in a homebrew setting where Tiamat is, while still evil, much more nuanced than typical dnd canon. She's the god of deception, change(usually societal), and magic, in addition to being the mother of chromatic dragons.

So Danyla is from a country that openly worships her and works for the church. She's also trans, and her family used their connections to the church and the Obsidian Spire(basically a mages guild that functions as one of three major parts of the government) to go through a ritual to help her achieve the body she wanted.

This was 100% approved of by those around her, in the church and otherwise, because it was viewed as becoming and changing into the best version of herself. Danyla went through with it for personal as well as spiritual reasons.

So, that all said:

Feel like droppin’ that sick oc lore again, so here are my ocs’ opinions on love, marriage, children, the lot of it:

Sometimes an OC’s design is just

I’m an absolute coward and I’m not gonna post me speaking, but I thought knowing various character speaking mannerisms, accents and so on might be interesting, SO

Zephrine: Vaguely French™, slightly higher pitch, and tends to have two different ways of speaking. In casual conversation, she has a very lilted way of speaking, with her sentences tending higher towards the end, or getting even higher as she gets more emotional. When she’s being more authoritative/serious however, her voice gets more even-keeled, and almost monotone, as she’s trying to get her point across clearly and concisely.

Swears a little, but not a lot. Mostly “shit” or “what the fuck”

Danyla: Southern US accent, but more subtle than you’re probably thinking. Veers more towards Southern Belle than Redneck. Has a somewhat low, smooth and even way of speaking, and doesn’t tend to get too riled up. Almost lackadaisical, but she has her moments of intensity, though she never really loses that even keel to her voice.

Swears a bit in casual conversation, but not excessively so. Says “damn” or “ah shit” more than anything

Kajra: Lower pitched, Generic American accent. Always sounds like he’s vaguely annoyed at you, probably because he is. Gets higher pitched when he’s upset or you’ve really piqued his ire lmao

Only swears when he’s really, really upset. Most likely to call you an ass.

Seraphi: Low and smooth, very monotone, not very emotive. Has an air of authority to her, everything she says is said with absolute certainty. American accent b/c I’m American so that’s my default lmao.

Doesn’t swear. She’s too proper for that.

Lhoril: Very proper way of speaking, rather smooth. Speaks gently while still conveying some authority. Not much else to say other than she’s a refined lady with the background of a soldier, so her mannerisms reflect that.

Doesn’t really swear, though she’s more likely to if she knows you well enough.

Neralya: Basically my casual speaking voice, but sassier. Fairly down the middle as far as range/octave/whatever goes, veers between monotone and very emotive. Is very casual, even in situations where she perhaps shouldn’t be.

Swears like a sailor lmao

Threnn: Still sorting her out b/c she’s new, but she will speak the Queen’s English if I don’t get too embarassed lmao. I’m going for... very proper, surprisingly proper, if condescending, but we’ll see how it goes

Sunni: Tentatively welsh. Haven’t figured out her voice much otherwise, but it is lower than expected for a kobold and she can be very sing-song.

Therila: I don’t voice her b/c she’s not technically my character, but I find it worth noting that she has a Yorkshire accent :)

I’m glad you like them, that means I’ve done a good job of designing them! (It was hard, graphic design is... not my passion, actually) And questions about my ocs are almost never gonna bug me

The answer is... kinda spoilery, I guess?? Like, its not Deep or anything, but for those in the same campaign as me, imma put it underneath here in case y’all wanna find out organically:
