Description Okay, here’s the twins in their alternate forms. Kaze is the male on the left, and Kēva is the female on the right. I promised I would explain their bloodlines, so here it goes…

Their father (Jericho) was a human male mercenary who had a spell/curse cast on him to reveal his “true self”, causing his body to mirror his soul. A vicious barbaric warrior as a human, his body turned to that of a savage Lizardman. Rather from the magic or from his own acceptance, Jericho’s mind slowly began to lose its grip on humanity, and he began to give in to this savage side, even reveling in it.

Their mother (Ashanti ) was a Lycanthrope who had completely abandoned humanity and was living as an animal. She was a loner, having neither a pack nor a mate. She was then taken captive by Jericho and kept as something of a fighting partner/slave for a time. She came to see him as the “alpha male” in their makeshift pack (Jericho, at the time, was traveling with a group of mercenaries) and overtime, acting as any alpha female in a pack would, she started to look at Jericho as a worthy mate.

After a while Jericho leaves with Ashanti, running to live in the wilds and eventually starting up a freakish family pack of their own. In doing this Jericho also pretty much gives himself over to being an animal and aside from visiting his human brother from time to time, he has nothing to do with humanity. Well, except for the fact that he prefers Ashanti to be in her human form during mating, hehe.

These characters pictured above are only two of Ashanti and Jericho’s offspring. They have a lot more cubs and all of them are freakish mixes of Human, Werewolf, and Lizardfolk. Some are capable of shifting forms, others are not.

To see these two in their “human” form, go here: Kaze & Kēva

Credits:
The moon was created by “dumbing down” and painting over a satellite photo of the moon, which was taken by NASA. Everything else in the picture was done by hand.

Gnnarg. Those faces are AMAZING. Those eyes...they just pop out at you. What an incredible job. I love this.

Thanks! I spent a lot of time designing these two, so it's nice to hear when people like the look of them.

Wow, what a fascinating backstory. And I spent ages just staring at their faces and bodies, looking to see which bits might be were, which lizard etc. Marvellous.

Thanks! I had been putting off drawing these two for ages. The thought of melding all the different were creature bits together just intimidated the hell out of me. I'm rather pleased with the results though (for once).

Yer a pro at drawing animalistic creatures, so your approval means a lot. I'm really glad you like them!

Oooh, this is something unexpected from you. Interesting characters and a great story too. As always, your anatomy is awesome. The sky is very pretty, too.

That has got to be one of the single most bizarre and intriguing backstories ever. And I love the fact that their fur only cover's up like half of there bodies. And the not-quite wolven features of their heads... Background is very nicely done too, BTW. I actually thought those clouds where stock photos given the same treatment as the moon.

You're really getting the hang of backgrounds, huh?

DarrkestDrow In reply to SigmaCore [2005-05-28 22:26:36 +0000 UTC]

Thanks Sigs! I tried really hard to mesh wolf, human, and lizard in their anatomy. It was much more difficult than I ever thought it'd be, but I think that's one of the reasons I liked it so much in the end. And to think, these are only very MINOR characters in our RP, hehe. Drawing them made me want to make them more than just "extras." Hehe...too many chars already though, heh.

And the clouds were done by me, using one of the default airbrushes that comes with Painter Classic. I varied the brush size and the opacity and kept adding on layers until I was happy with it. Then I opened it in PS Elements and played with the colors a bit until I managed something I was happy with it.

Thanks for the comments and feedback! And for the +fav!

That completely freakin' redefines 'kinky'. xD

I can't say nothing, as my feline character Darin is mated to a chimera...though the mating occured when he was a chimera, and when she was just feline....magic is weird. XD

Spiffy, rock on.
