Description It's that persistent OC of mine, Tudor. If you, for whatever reason, have some interest in my little fictional world, read on. If not, that makes sense.

~~ BACKSTORY!!~~

The "premise" of my fictional alternate reality is that Homo sapiens is not the only modern-day member of the genus Homo.

There are two other species, and both of them reside on an Australia-sized continent in the northern part of the Atlantic. On one half is the country of Yasa. It's home to the Yasada, a bunch of tall magical atheist herbivores who enjoy living for centuries and not aging. The other half is Ardan, which contains the Uman-Chayyim, who also live a long time but wrinkle in the process, and who are not magical nor particularly tall, but are quite adept at living in stark palaces and not talking to anyone. The Uman-Chayyim do not like the Yasada, who do not care.

Unfortunately, almost all of the Yasada died out thanks to a plague in the mid 1700's, so it became something of a moot point.

The main character is Theo "Tudor" Tuteja, a Yasada who happened to be in Ardan when everyone in Yasa was dying. He was adopted by his private tutor and lived a comfortable privileged life for a while, until circumstances pushed him off of the continent and onto human territory, where he subsequently divorced himself from Ardan completely and began embracing the near-extinct culture of Yasa.

The background of the left picture is the Yasada mode of writing, while the Uman-Chayyim's is on the right.

We are finally awarded a back story! Now, thanks to this, I am even more intrigued and wanting for more. This was your plan the entire time, wasn't it? 8| You devious Polvoice, you.

There is certainly something about your "simplistic realistic" style that automatically hooks me. It's bold yet elegant in the sense that it doesn't pervade the vision with unnecessary details. The colors as well; they are good compliments of one another.

Summed up: The fact that you can draw this in that style WITHOUT outer facial outlines is quite frankly awesome.

I am evil.

Why thank you! I've have been gravitating more towards this style recently, and it's a relief to hear that you think it works.

I believe it works very well, especially for the "forlorn memory" atmosphere this is depicting to me.

Oooh, intriguing backstory! What kind of plague? And I really love the colors in this.

A deadly plague!
I am keeping things vague in case I actually do something at some point with this idea.

Thanks
