Second Chance ♡

hi! heres week 2, thought id post a ref sheet for one of my favorite characters! hope its up to snuff, i tried to make it look nice. i hope youre having a lovely day! ill see yall next week c: ♡ "Second Chance is a 26yr old rivira (water elemental cat), previously one of the beloved leaders of Kalida, one of the last Rivren cites in Ryokai. He wore a suit of fine fendite cloth, and an aketon cuirass over it.

Hes nearly blind, and very clumsy, but despite his intimidating scars, hes very kind, and devotes his all to his people, vowing to bring them up out of subjugation.

He plays the flute, can bend water, and wanders the Ryokai desert in secret, with his friends. He carries twin daggers, though he isnt any good with them anymore. His main strength in diplomacy and wit.. He seeks allies and lost rivira, so that he may someday bring the water people back to their former glory." Backstory:

"Some found it humorous to see one of the Kalida magistrate in commoner's aketon, but most found the fearful chieftan endearing.. He was humble, never saw himself above anyone. A cat of the people, ready to defend his people from the enemy fire.. personally, if need be.

One day, he proved it, when he went to intercept one of the fire country's caravan's with his platoon.. the same day his worst fears came true, learning it was an ambush. He thought he could at least salvage the mission by checking the caravan's package, only to realize it was a massive pack of explosives. It went off, and he was right next to it.

He was killed instantly, along with a few of his men.. it wouldve been his last mistake, if not for the fact a close friend of his being an enchantress, whom he often vented his fears to. She blessed him to survive one lethal blow.. but itd be at the cost of two of his greatest strengths, being his acuity and perception

He survived, but half his body was badly burned, he was nearly blind and deaf, permanently disoriented, and unconscious.. if not for his cousin and best friend carrying him off the battlefield, he wouldve never woken up. But wake he did.. to the burning of his town.

The caravan had been a distraction, to pull away the most able of the leaders.. they could not get back in time to help. Despair set in for Ponte.. but he had no time to mourn, for the fire country was hot on his tail.. They had divided his group, the only chance that some of them to escape.

Ponte and his best friend were backed into a corner.. his cousin hands him a rare teleportation stone, and tells him to teleport, far away.. he knows he will do more with his life than most. they hug in a tearful embrace as the soldiers close in, and ponte teleports far away.

He wakes outside a village his family had visited when he was small.. vowing to make the most of his second chance, and save his people."

Impossible!

"gondren shouted, in shock. hed carried her for months, on his shoulder, ever since she lost one of her legs, and he, one of his arms, in a demon's game- he had wondered why she was several hundred kits heavier than the heaviest of thirians, but he thought it impolite to ask.

but this is wonderful news! finally, he is not the only gaukren in the party. maurabelle is dumbfounded that he hadnt realized this until now."

week 14! woo! thank you for checking out my work, i hope youre having a wonderful day ♡

The Naritune Priestess ♡

week 10 "deep in the forests of thiria, exists a towering but soft spoken lady, draped in clothes of moss and leaves. she is the reclusive priestess of the naritune druids, a religion devoted to the forests of thiria. though hundreds of years old, she seems not a day over 25, and bears no age curses, and yet.. perplexingly, she lacks the red hair distinctive of all young thirians. she appears as if she were birthed by the forest itself, with plants and flowers growing in her hair, and her very wings being composed of branches and leaves. she creaks slightly as she walks, and some suspect she is plant all the way through. she very rarely guides or helps her flock directly, opting instead to delegate her wishes through a druidic council, who lead on her behalf. the council delivers her message throughout the forest.. quite literally, tapping into the network of the trees to spread her word far across the valley. she is a kind soul, valuing the happiness of all life, and having immense power in the deepest regions of the forest, but she does not often like to meddle in the lives of mortals, instead preferring mostly to remain in the eternal forest, to comfort and guide her followers who no longer tie into the mortal realm. the naritune druids often follow in her footsteps, albeit to a lesser extent. theyre often more reclusive, and less invested in thirian society, often living in the woods in small independent communes, rather than in the cities and villages of the empire" -the historian, 404sd hi hi! here is week 10! took me close to 5 hours, with 183 unique color values. i think this one turned out very pretty, im happy with it ^^. anyways, thank you for checking out my art! i hope you have a wonderful week ♡

Star Gazing ♡

prompt 9: night "an akulyte family of 5, a mother and her four kids. they gaze up at a starry night sky, while it rains peacefully. trees and mysterious structures can be seen resting in the background. a rare moment of peace." thank you for checking out my work! much love ♡

Lorine and Songpup ♡

week 13 "a young rivira swims home, after a long evening defending her village. she is exhausted, but finds refuge outside her old home, resting against the outer wall. the flow of the lake has worn down the old wood and clay, and a soft moss clings to the windowsills and doorways. she waits for her big sister, clare, to return home from scavenging near the shores. shes out longer than usual, but lori knows her sister can take care of herself.. so she will give her a little longer, before she decides to go search. but as she waits, a songwolf pup glides over to her. she knows the pup is too young to be able to sing yet, but she finds them very cute. they have a little collar, so lori knows they must have a caretaker around here somewhere.. but she doesnt know anyone with songpups, so she decides the songpup can wait here with her for the night" -the historian, 204sd week 13! oh, goodness. im late as heck. rough week, i guess ><. this piece took me nearly 7 hours, somehow, and has 127 unique color values. ive never seriously tried a fully underwater piece, so this one was very tricky! im sorry if its not very clear. anyways, thank you for checking out my art! i hope you have a wonderful week c: ♡

Boss Battle! ♡

"you stole my bread, and you think purple is MID!? thats it- prepare for a bonking of biblical proportion!"

week 36! wasnt feeling too good this week, so i dug up an old sketch and finished it (artist finishes sketch?? impossible). i know its not the hollow knight art people prefer, but i hope itll suffice til next week. thank you for checking out my work, hope you have a wonderful week! <3

Reunion with Quirrel ♡

week 14 "oh, hello there! seems we both tread far from the path. i can hardly believe those dusty old highways led to such a lush and lively place! this building suggests some form of worship, though its idol has clearly been long forgotten. doubles equally well for a moment's respite." -quirrel ahoy hoy! here is week 14 c:. this one took about 3.5 hours, and has 83 unique color values. thought its been a long while since ive drawn quirrel, so i gave it another go. anyways, thank you for checking out my art, i hope you have a wonderful week! ♡

Pomni's Debut

watched the amazing digital circus the other day, and i liked it- thought id ride the hype train and try my hand at drawing pomni and a little bit of caine- its quite a ways from my art style, but its good practice. surprisingly only took me about 2.5 hours, and somehow im still late lol

week 21, am feeling a bit better this week- taking care of myself, and am doing a bunch of little animations that i might share later. hope youre having a wonderful day~! :3 ♡
