#oc: lavius elyria

[pyrriax]

HI GUYS quick little post while i try and get my words in order for fic writing, here's a little line up of my primary characters from Terra ^_^

in order: Lavius Elyria (post S3 ; functionally cursed by latent magic), Parsifal (pre-possession), Dusk (default + wolves ; wolves are named Bay and Maggie, respectively), Zenith (hostless + default ; the more humanoid version is the hostless, while the fox is default)

Lavius, Parsifal, & Zenith all exist at the same time and from generally the same place (in a pre-modern setting), while Dusk exists in the far future (post-modern apocalypse)

if you have questions about them or the world feel free to ask! i'm open to answering any queries ^_^ (and i can explain why zenith is Like that if anybody's curious)

#haunted ecosystem #apparition sketchbook #oc: lavius elyria #oc: parsifal #oc: dusk #oc: zenith #i totally didnt spend like an hour working on this nooooo... why would i everrrr do that...........

HI GUYS finished the silly skin

behold: a beast

#haunted ecosystem #apparition sketchbook #oc: lavius elyria #<- im gonna end up tagging that more since persona lavius is generally the solid teal whereas elyria has the gold/orange #and also elyria is much more his own guy with actual lore and development #reg lavius has lore dont get me wrong but he's much more just a persona

I'm Your Man

draft of an animatic which may or may not get completed, centered around lavius elyria & mortis (@specialcontainmentdatabase) and the development of... Something.

while this doesn't exactly go in depth on what's happening (and skips over some major pieces at the end because i didn't feel like combing through a 20 minute recording for important events, plus we were planning to rerecord that piece regardless) i'm happy to explain / elaborate

some additional information + the original pieces as they were, since this whole thing was done on like. three canvases over the course of a day (in reverse order)

some further context for little details: thunderstrike is lavius's primary weapon, while soulrender is mortis's.

the crystals are basically excess magic which is eating away at lavius, since he's too fearful to use it. in the latter half, when he has crystal surrounding him, that's the indicator of the shift from s2 -> s3 of the server this is based off of. it's also a bit of a show of growth.

a lot of their earlier interactions are glossed over in favor of brevity, but i do love the early dynamic they had, and lord does this skip over so many hours of just Grinding For Materials and Helping People With Projects. oh. and also the dragons. but those are too important

#haunted ecosystem #apparition sketchbook #oc: lavius elyria #ANYWAYS GOODNIGHT TUMBLR i might finish this one day but that day is NOT today o7 #ALSO I JUST REALIZED I LEFT ONE OF MY DUMB NOTES ON THE IMAGES but yeah these bitches GAY #one of the last frames is killing me i love mortis just standing there because i didnt want to draw anything more than that #most of this hopefully not too stiff but that one bit stayed like that because. funny. homestuck pose.

OH also some supplementary screenshots to accompany the thing i posted last night since some of the things are Not clear what they are 👍

in order: the entrance of the cave that we used to get down to the deep dark, the entrance to the deep dark, a look of the deep dark, the first spot i went after getting stuck in the dark, the lamps that they were lighting up to learn how sculk worked

#haunted ecosystem #oc: lavius elyria #i should Probably use the world tag for this but it's temporary soooo probably not #this whole thing is part of a Thing we've been working on #i would just post the video but it issssss....... janky. the audio got Fucked Up and we're waiting on the world download for this specific #season of the smp even though they Promised they'd post it

OH WAIT I FORGOT TO SHARE THIS YESTERDAY.

wip......... :3

#haunted ecosystem #apparition sketchbook #oc: lavius elyria #ALSO technically this isnt 100% accurate (has a trait from the post-s3 design... the second spur) but. good enough #also YES i know he is fuckin lanky. its funny. also trying to apply any sort of bird anatomy to humanoids is dumb and i gave up #on having any degree of realism. he's a weird freak. he's an avian. this abides by no laws of physics. his wings are small for his size

hi guys im being normal abt ocs again

#haunted ecosystem #oc: lavius elyria #a little context! jacie is a copper golem that was basically just Adopted As My Child on the mc server this is based off of #i have so many screenshots from just. people watching on that server. i spent so long hanging out at other people's bases #i helped build at wither's crypt and helped grey with a few projects! i love those people even if we dont talk a lot #theyre intertwined with the story in ways i cannot even begin to explain. #also please forgive my spoilering of the name and stuff its cuz i proxied in that message and im putting this on main #project: terralith

[pyrriax]

inspiration has struck so i shall now spend a bit of today working on this ^_^

revising this into something that flows better along with making it fall in line with the current iteration of the story,,,

#haunted ecosystem #<- yes i know its a generic name but it works for the project ^_^ #oc: lavius elyria #(even though she isnt visible here) #apparition sketchbook #ALSO things will make more sense with this version since im actually putting in the Effort instead of like. a minute or less per frame #also.... debating whether i include lyrics on screen or not #i might do a version with and a version without and see what fits better #project: terralith

hi guys erm. planning is going GREAT <- the sound of a guy who had things it was supposed to be working on today but instead decided to plan out an animatic

#haunted ecosystem #apparition sketchbook #oc: lavius elyria

Love your new pfp!! The star sweater is super cute 💚

thank you!! :D its been a staple of lavius' design since i made him ^_^

even in his absolute oldest iteration! (the mc skin, which doesnt even have the mullet.......... man that thing is old.)

#ask a ghost #asker: wodniars-void #apparition sketchbook #oc: lavius #also yes i did decide to give him darker wings! i realized that there was two colors that only showed up once so. i fixed that ^_^ #at some point i need to do a comparison between lavius (persona) & lavius (terra) since theyre so different yet so similar #elyria has a different color scheme... i mean regular lavius can honestly have any colors i just default to teal #ITS FUN its always been a nod to coraline! its one of my favorite movies and the context of the sweater in that movie makes sense :) #lavius is canonically stuck in a timeloop creating the same things over and over ^_^ #image spam because i love sharing my beast! he's my beloved <3

hiii tumblr you guys get a little snippet of a thing that will probably never see the proper light of day (since its an oc project) but it does give a little insight into. lavius elyria (not the persona one)

Their house was always warm, filled with comforts and niceties that they'd earned after spending so long struggling. It wasn't long now, before the world would end. But, it was going to be okay. Mortis would be there, and they could comfort each other through it. Everyone that mattered was pulled inside, dragons corralled into the empty wing of the basement, livestock ushered under cover. Lavius knew, he couldn't save them. They are doomed, have been doomed for a long time. The home he's spent so long building up from the ground, bloodied his hands over, it'll be gone, come morning. But, Mortis will be there, and they'll find each other again. The Gods promised, they'll save their people. Save those who've called this world home. He isn't sure he believes them, he's never been a religious man. But, he'll believe it if it means he doesn't lose Mortis. He'd believe anything if it was for Mortis, always. Always, always, always.

did i write this quickly as part of a larger thing? yup. i was gonna do a web weave based off the transition from s2 to s3 and wanted to have some writing to go along with it but. didnt make that. sooooo...... there's more to it but it's for the notes

oh and also mortis is @specialcontainmentdatabase's character ^_^ these two are fucked up and everybody knows it

#haunted ecosystem #haunted bookshelf #yeah i tend to write characters who are unhealthily devoted to somebody. these two kill each other as a show of affection. #forgive if this reads weirdly i havent written a lot recently since ive been working on some oc stuff and just. #checks watch. ive spent so many days in a row in like 6+ hour calls i just dont have As Much time to write as i spend my energy discussing #characters and au concepts. and also doing dumb quizzes in character and generally just dicking around #i might work on another like. video thing? it'd just be a cinematic version of a lore segment we've got planned #whooooo knows. i sure dont. im probably going to go the hell to bed ive had enough people time today #spent like two hours in a group vc and had a bunch of fun so thats nice #anyways gooooodnight tumblr (its 8am)
