The Guardian of the Butterflies

I finally finished the Lialva picture! I wanted to do an animated version but I got lazy so I didn’t really draw enough frames buuuut here we are. It’s my first time animating one of my pictures so I’ll go easy on myself. I’ll upload the hd non-animated version later. Hope y’all like it!

more crocs and butterflies over here because I feel like this image suits Davuna and Lialva

@justanartsysideblog and @feynites - regarding an earlier post about having a number of high-ranking followers of Ghilan’nain pursue Lialva, I’m going to offer up candidate #1:

Davuna - Ghilan’nain’s niece and chief researcher, designer and curator of marine monstrosities critters.  She spends most of her time in and around the ocean at the edges of Imperial territory but occasionally surfaces to visit her parents and attend any kind of science symposium or conference that might be happening.  If Lialva happens to be at such a conference, say, as an upcoming butterfly breeder who’s been invited to give a presentation, Davuna would be more than happy to show her around the city and introduce her to people.

It’s a little sketch but I wanted to do one for one of @justanartsysideblog‘s amazing OCs! I had a tough time deciding which OC, but I really, really want to protect this lady and see her happy.  

I loved the idea so much I had to do a quick pic of butterfly princess Lialva. I’m not sure who the moth royal is, but they are lucky indeed!

Let’s do this fooooor Lialva today! 

1. In modern AUs she’s a lepidopterist, and found an previously unknown species of butterfly deep in the Donark jungles.

2. Collects windchimes in all AUs.

3. Is very talented with wind manipulation, as the butterfly breeders use wind to corral the butterflies.

4. She looks very fragile, but she will protect others at the drop of a hat, even when she is afraid for her own life. 

5. Eventually finds love with a follower of Ghilan’nain, I honestly just don’t know who yet. Suggestions are welcomed. XD

I thought y’all might want to see the fruits of my art-block fuelled labor. So here you go! Sailor Senshi Maker can be found here. The game is by Doll Divine and the art by Drachea Rannak. 

Sailor Olwyn - Sailor Scout of Courage and Determination

Sailor Cirimeni - Sailor Scout of Kindness and Intuition

Sailor Maibrit - Sailor Scout of Ingenuity and Intellect

Sailor Lialva - Sailor Scout of Compassion and Empathy

*whispers* there were more but please, let’s forget that I created nearly every female OC I have last night, I’m embarrassed enough. XD

Lialva really loves fruit! Her favorite fruit is mango. Aside from just fruit on its own, her favorite food is mango chutney that she puts on EVERYTHING, especially curry. She would literally eat mango chutney from a jar with a spoon, she regrets nothing. XD

Aside from butterflies, she also really loves hedgehogs. 

In the Fen’Sulahn AU (which is her happiest one) she’s made several breeds all on her own. Most notable are the ones she has crafted for Fen’Sulahn and Dirthamen, as gifts from Sylaise. 

For Dirthamen she crafted poisonous dusk-bringers, which encompass many of his gardens and mazes. They only release the poison when startled, as it comes off the dust on their wings and is a defense mechanism. 

For Fen’Sulahn she made giant griffin moths--they are about the size of a house cat. A special fungus grows on their wings that is an essential ingredient in a healing salve for burns. 

Her ability to create such varied breeds has drawn the attention of Ghilan’nain and her followers. It is widely known that Ghilan’nain has hinted at having her traded, but Sylaise has so far not seemed receptive.
