Are they human? (except for the fella at the end of course)

I really like your critter guy.
What do you use to add the color? I wants it.

Haha thanks.

I'm not sure what you mean by "add the color."

The faces that are shaded in. What did you use? I'm just starting out and am still unfamiliar with the tools of the trade.

Ah, I just used a multiply layer and dropped in some gray.

Is this the same world as Ister S+S? I am also curious about these 4 racially. I know that you have done crazy things with races in your worlds in the past and was curious what the races for these guys are. Obviously Gram and Lhiya are not remotely human (Lhiya seems to be some sort of Elvish but again i get the sense that you are shying away from traditional fantasy races on this) but are your other two human?

This also leads us into the ever popular culture discuss and how even if Abereth and Ebb are human they appear to be different culturally. What are those cultures? Is there a earth-world analog for them or are you trying to make it as different as possible? As always, impressive work.

Indeed it is! Lhiya is a Cerin; there's more about there here: [link] . Gram is a Gaff, but I haven't written too much about them yet. I'll probably have to soon, huh?

The main difference in culture between Aby and Ebb is what part of the city they grew up in. Aby is from the outskirts; she's kind of a farm girl. Ebb is from the city proper, from a moderately well-off family. They have more or less the same cultural touchstones though. Of course, you'll learn more about them later.

I love all their expressions. Pretty comical. XD (That's a stretch for a pun)
Nice to see some new characters too. Lhiya and Ebb are welcome additions! And that has to be the daintiest way to eat a chicken leg ever.

As for a question, what are these guys roles in your story? Story wise what are they there for? (if you don't want to divulge too much info I understand)

Thanks man! Lhiya's been around for quite a while actually, and this is the setting she's originally from, so YAY!

As far as like... fantasy game archetypes go, Aby is kind of a jack of all trades (although she starts out as a jack of none ), Lhiya is a white mage more or less (although healing magic is seen as a form of necromancy in this setting), and Ebb is kind of a monk/sorcerer. Those three are all students at the Ritual Academy; magic is a pretty big part of the setting. Gram is... the lovable monstery badass. Kinda Chewbacca-y, I guess. You'll find out more about them later of course.

Well it all sounds pretty good to me. I am always excited to see things from you. Your art style and ideas always seem to be pretty top notch.
I wouldn't have guessed Lhiya as a healer. She looks so much more like she fights all the time.

Ekuneshiel In reply to BandanaBlue [2013-01-06 19:58:36 +0000 UTC]

Well, Lhiya does all kinds of magic stuff, not just healing.
