The softest place in the world

Sno has a big weak spot for soft textures and gentle smells, and Maria is (to him) the softest and the nicest smelling person ever.

Take care of your smaller homies

Remember to kiss your small homies on the forehead if they're feeling down. Or if they aren't still let them know they're appreciated, regardless of their size. You can follow Barkri's example here.

Midday nap

Here Sno is on the opposite side of the world to his homeland, and finds himself suffering the unrelenting heat of the desert surrounding Auritas. The White Palace is designed to maximize air circulation and keep everyone cool, but this isn't enough for the Arabelean born to endure -30 deg. weather on a good day... So naps during the hottest time of day is necessary. Good thing the Palace has an endless supply of nice pillows.

The sketch for this piece has been rotting on my pc for about two years because it was never "the time" to finish it. So I forced myself to complete it and now I'm free!

Temra wants to show everyone that he's on the top of the world, but his companions don't seem that interested in participating....

The weather in Alvecharren, north of the Gates, is very rarely warm enough to go shirtless, but you can bet that young nomads will use any opportunity to do so.

Maria loves cuddling with her lucklyts, making sure to properly distribute her attention amongst all of them. Lucklyts are believed to be "misfortune eaters" because they are prone to injury when in captivity. Maria does her best to set an example as a princess and takes good care of her lucklyt army :)

Strike a pose!

In the modern age AU Alexendrei (Sno) spends most of his time on his homestead far away from all major cities. He sometimes helps out the local tourism office by following along with the surface tourist groups to make sure everyone is safe, since he knows the local landscapes and fauna very well.

Maria met him on one of these tours and just wouldn't leave him alone. To make up for all the times he's kept her and her friends safe, she's invited him on a 'city tour', where she just shows him her favorite spots for sweet treats and cool things to do. The end of the tour ended up being her showing him her favorite TV show, since he doesn't have his own. However, she didn't account for him being completely unused to any sort of touch and closeness with another Ghalla. Poor dude kept that pose for a scorching hour out of fear of breaking her somehow. I think he likes her....

I like to imagine her as having a ridiculous taste when it comes to furniture and such things, since she suffers from the 'lives alone for the first time' syndrome. She should invest into something lest prone to breaking. I guess the designer of the couch didn't account for nervous titans.

Peaceful picnic

By herja standards Tetja can be considered a pampered and spoiled princess. Sno feeds her the best cuts of meat and she even gets very frequent treats! But she still craves the thrill of the hunt. That poor ervasar male never saw her coming.

She is polite enough to go out hunting for wild ervasar and other wild animals, but sometimes she slips up and snatches one from a neighbor's flock. Luckily it's a very rare occurrence since Sno has beaten the habit out of her :D

The Namegame

I've been wanting to start drawing little comics of Eradenians for a while, so why not begin with a minor lore dump?

For some context, to them Alexendrei's name is as if you named a boy born in 2026 Wolfgang or Jeremiah, very archaic and outdated. Andromeda comes from the west-most region of Cerulea, and Andromeda (the fairy) is an eastern myth. While it isn't unusual to give kids from poor families fantastical names for "good luck", taking names from the opposite side of the world is unorthodox.
