Finally, I've finished her portrait. High Queen Avalette of Shesikar. By Anna.

Blizzard Outside . . .

A revisit of a very old piece I don't have posted; a scene from what will likely end up being book 3.
Ja'ek mourning. He was unable to save her. 

Avalette WIP

Avalette, High Queen of Shesikar, Work in Progress, by Anna. It has along way to go! But this is my third attempt at a portrait of Avalette and this is the first one I've liked. She's been very difficult for me to portray.

Selnam Concept

As I've been writing this fellow has become one of my favorite characters. He was badly burned via magic.

He may actually have hair. I need to decide on that for sure.

Falling

A quickie concept of Ja'ek. Spoilers? 

Some Ja'ek Stuff

"Protecting What is Mine"

Avalette and Warren

Avalette and Warren

Warren is the First Councilor to the High King on Muurak. Avalette is the High Queen of Shesikar It's actually unlikely they'd be standing on the same balcony. But they just so happened to end up on the same page.

A Year Later

NaNoWriMo again! I may put an excerpt or two up as we go along. In the meantime, have some sketches!

Ja'ek Portrait and NaNoWriMo!

First of all there, this portrait was finished ages ago, but it should definitely be on this blog. Ja'ek, of course.

Secondly, Anna here, (the one writing) I am going to see if this November for NaNoWrMo I can write like a crazy! That is the plan. I am currently doing a quick read through to get my bearings, writing out some notes, and sorting a few things out. Then I shall get on the horse! Wish me luck!

Shesikite Gelming

So this creature has been floating around in my brain for YEARS!
The Gelming.
Yes it's basically a camel without a hump. Serves the same purpose as well. They're desert/tundra animals for the most part.
That swelling part under their throat serves the same purpose as the camels humps, fat stores so they can go long periods of time on little food and water.

Arrogance and Agony

Ja'ek and Roary. Kind of a surrealistic character contrast painting. Fire and Ice.

Mirkinae'n Alicorn

First Note, I am aware that the 'Alicorn' is actually the word used to refer to the actual horn of the Unicorn.

In the case of this creature however, the beast was named after it's only useful property, it's horn.

The Muurakite Alicorn is a cross breeding of the Versiahn Unicorn, The Muurakite Unicorn, ( a beast of gentle temperament towards humans, with training. It behaves much like a dog despite it's large size.) and war horses of various types.
As a point of reference please note the Muurakite Unicorn has no magical properties, is a semi-large beast, and it is a predator/scavenger.
The purpose of the breeding was the hope to create a Unicorn with some magical properties, but also the capabilities of a war horse (and the bulk) and the sharp teeth and temperament of the Muurakite Unicorn.

However the result ended up being a scavenger beast with very little patience for human's, and a very vicious nature. The animal is virtually untrainable, far too high strung and downright mean.

They travel in family groups/herds ranging from two to twenty or so animals. Rarely are there less than five or six of them in one herd.

They're overprotective of their own kind, will generally stay out of people's way as long as the boundaries are not pushed.

The issue is if they feel the least bit threatened they tend to attack, and they will not stop till they have killed, or have been killed.

For the most part they scavenge out of laziness. They can kill their own meal if desperate enough and they will do it. But the Alicorn is a slothful creature that when left alone wanders around it's desert home at a leisurely pace.

They have over the years developed a softer tissued hoof that splays some over the sand, like a camel's foot or a gelming, though it is not quite so soft as those noted creatures.

They are often nicknamed the 'Fire Horse' deriving from the bright red hue of the root hair on their manes and tales.

They usually come in brown's, this reddish - tan color being the most common. They have however been spotted in cream colors and occasionally dark grey's or black. They sometimes have faint spots.

Versiah'n Unicorn

This is old. But I like it so here it is!

In Solar Kingdoms, there are several different breeds and types of Unicorns.
The most traditional is this, the Versiahn variety.


The Versiahn unicorn is a small beast, roughly standing at the withers about the height of the average human's waist.
They have magical properties in their horns, such as healing and cleansing.
They're always white, born with brown spots that fade as they age. The spots can be over the whole body at birth, or they can appear just at the 'tips' of the creature.
Sometimes as adults they retain faint gray spots.
They always have blue or green eyes. The shade varies, but is usually very bright.
They generally travel in pairs, (as they mate for life) rarely in greater numbers, though have been known to on occasion.
