Description Digital lineart and painting practice, also the first time posting something about the world of Aria, a fantasy RPG scenario. I'm not gonna post much about the world itself, as those aren't official illustrations, jut practice. Really fun to do by the way. The ones up there are a female deerien druid and a male deerien archer.

As a small introduction to the context, Aria is a fantasy world I'm developing with some friends, merging a lot of ideas that we had in the last few years. The picture shows the Deeriens(De~riens) one of the basic playable races of the world (and also the tallest). Deeriens are a plant race with a virtually endless life span. Organized in a matriarcal society with few males, druid and geomancer deeriens have a connection with the earth and can comprehend the flow of mystic energies, beeing capable of casting huge environmental spells (landscape design queens?). Deerien warriors and archers develops a higher control over their own body, generating weapons and armors from their own tissues. Deeriens are also capable of summoning, the ancient art of calling the spirits of earth to defend the woods. Deeriens are born with a variety of skin tones, from white (frequently with darker spots) to ebony, and their hair can be on any natural pigmentation found in wood, leaves and flowers. Deeriens usually carry long branch-like horns that can be slowly molded as helmets and tiaras, or simply grow as horns pointing backwards.

This book is our second ongoing project, as our priority is the PC game, Midnight Tales. And yes, Okami invaded my photoshop .

A bit of advice: don't forget the symbolism. As it would pertain to this, spring is life, summer is the prime, autumn is dying, and winter is death.

Will keep that in mind. Though they don't really die of age (they should chat with Tolkiens Elves and Ents). I didn't draw any yet, but some of them have quite a variety of hair colors, such as pink and blue, but only green eyes. Originally, they were conceived to be born with especific characteristics similar to different plants, and the females are capable of having children without males but the child would be phisically identical to the mother. When it is born from a couple it can have different characteristics. COncerning religion and social characteristics, they consider themselves part of the earth (named Aria), beeing born from it. They're "sorta zen", and as they're almost immortal they don't really have an after life, they believe their soul returns to the flow od mystic forces. The Neos(the other race that I posted), on the other hand, are born from that flow. IN the future I'll post a race that believes only on the "god of time". This scenario intentionally aims for variety, although it has no intention to focus on religious beliefs, it's more to explain how the races explain their existence.

I was just saying that because the lady was dressed in autumn colors (and so she may bear the wisdom of a dying age) and the male is dressed in spring colors (which could be his energy or ignorance). In other words, keep a lookout since (in the literary world at least) anything you choose to describe or give importance to should (if not must) be symbolic to either the work or something else.
Still, it's a good drawing.

He is a warrior/archer and she is somewhat a sage/druid, so yes, the way you're reading them makes a lot of sense. I just felt the urge to speak more than I should be ( the small description on the comment above is intended to be short, but the more I look at them the more I want to write...). Thanks!

Como contei praticamente uma história no comentário do outro desenho, nesse vou ser bem breve \o\
Tipo.. eles seguem o estilo das estações o_o? Porke a mulher estilosa tem folhas avermelhadas e talz xD~
Muito bom ~!

Eles nascem com caracteristicas de plantas, mas ñ acho q eles mudam sasonalmente, ou eles ficariam carecas no inverno (e o cabelo comprido eh uma questão de honra pra elas). Acho q ela nasceu com traços de uma arvore que fica vermelha no outono, mas ela fica assim o ano todo.

Mastela In reply to Inarispellborn [2009-08-26 20:37:17 +0000 UTC]

Á mas o cabelo não precisa ser necessariamente folha D: Ai no inverno só teriam galhos e raíses, as vezes umas folhas aciculifoliadas (Eu tou brincando xD~)

Mesmo assim, nam deixa de ser estiloso xD~

HAHAHA caaaalmaaaa, eles virão!
Mulheres que vivem eternamente e que tem poucos homens ñ devem sorrir muito. O cara devia tah sorrindo no entanto... xD
Mas falando serio, elas são meio blasé mesmo na minha kbça, consequencia de viver tanto. Mas isso n quer dizer q não podem dar um belo sorriso em momentos especiais...

Gostei de como eles são basicamente "feitos" de parte da natureza.. é bem poético ^^
Mas pela expressão deles, não parecem mto simpáticos xD

Vc n viu ainda a concepção de mundo delas. Elas são zen.............. Eles são meio blasé mesmo, mas se um dia vc visitar eles (o q eh muito raro pq eles ñ costumam aceitar visitas)Vão ser muito cordiais. Sabe aquele tipo de pessoa distante mas que qdo se envolve vai com tudo? hehe

Alguma sugestão?

Inarispellborn In reply to justmaryy [2009-08-26 01:31:11 +0000 UTC]

Em uma graaaande floresta, em vilas e pequenas cidades que crescem em torno de uma matriarca deerien que se enraiza (literalmente) no centro do vilarejo e manipula o entorno para proteger seus irmãos deeriens.
