#draskhala

A special merged piece Phoxtanks did when I managed to distract her [as is the norm, it seems] using the previous two IA commissions she did for me ^^

Naiel finally gets an anthro form drawn! The artist is Kosika over on Deviant art. She just added the finishing touches to this pretty girl.

So glad to finally be able to say that my whole gang has an anthro form to represent themselves outside of the book material!

Soon i'll be commissioning CL to do some new, special art that will be associated with Riarkraa's world. I've managed to satisfactorily write out the natural competition species on the planet. Given Ria is a hooved, predatory beast things like agriculture and farming aren't going to be a common OR easy thing to come by, so having another natural sentient predator only makes sense.

No hints to what they look like, though! I think everyone will find them as fascinating as they have been to write up.

In related news, Ria's species now has a name: Khalarok's, or Khalarokans depending on how they're being referred to. If Ria refers to herself, or any other of her species does in conversation, the 'pride' version of the species name will be used: Khala "I am a strong Khala!"

If I choose to use humans, they will refer to them as 'Khala-raptors' It would seem Khala is used in starcraft, so I will likely never be able to get the rights to it if I choose to roll with that as a name.

However, I have already reconsidered a name and i'm going to use Draskhala, a combination of Khala with a name suggestion someone else gave me that didn't entirely feel right at the time but has now made a place into the story. The new 'pride' term won't exist given how the whole word can roll rather fluidly off the tongue, while the -raptor addendum will be used if I involve humans.

Tumblr related: I do intend for this to be an actual ask blog, just with written answers.
