rare sighting of the elusive horse husband, determined to avoid eye contact

#whiteraven90 #Tetra #Pegasus #I'm not cheeky enough to tag him as “horse” lol

I liked Griffin in that recent comic's last panel and wanted to do a little more with it. Nothing fancy. 1, party pants; 2, "default" outfit plus wife on shoulder (I'm redesigning her slooowly); 3, random.

Some kind of studyyyy

#whiteraven90 #Tetra #Griffin #practice

average Pegasus/Griffin interaction Christmas gift from me to myself. Griffin's gift was 30 seconds inside Pegasus's personal space. Pegasus got a lump of coal. Loser.

#whiteraven90 #Tetra #Pegasus #Griffin #i hope no one finds out that i had the rough sketch of this since LAST WINTER

[whiteraven90]

Yo, a pair of butlers (and some other nonsense)! ;p Though for Griffin it's not totally random. He tends to hang out on the palace grounds of his human companion, the emperor of Kark. There he basically LARPs as a palace pet for his own entertainment.

He makes the kids there glad to have a pet catbird, and makes the adults regret having a pet catbird. He typically doesn't pester the staff... too much. They like him best when he's in the backyard sunbathing his ass & doing nothing.

#whiteraven90 #Tetra #Griffin #Pegasus #thank you tumblr for not making arranging my stuff the way it makes sense a total pain #for the record i know butlers don't look like that #oh and i guess my mascot toucan is there too

I can FINALLY publish my art for "Прийдешній шторм" artzine! (Dragon Age theme)

Abyssal High Dragon and Gamordan Stormrider 🫰

Warm-ups that got out of hand. :')

#whiteraven90 #Tetra #Griffin #warming up to draw humans by drawing humans? revolutionary!

[whiteraven90]

Warm-up drawings, plus the usual "redlines". I do them after i finish each sketch to gauge my accuracy, and to see if i can find any specific areas i'm weak at. They turned out neither better or worse than usual, but i was satisfied with them. I wanted to shake off my hyperfocus on line quality (it was obstructing my progress with other stuff), reset my observation skills (i was consistently getting specific things wrong from imagination), gain more sketching speed, and lose the performance anxiety. Got the job done on all counts, except... i was warming up to draw people, and idk about you but i see precisely zero humans in here

A lineup I started almost a year ago. It's partly made of an even older lineup. I won't finish it, I'd rather start a new one. I just like how Marduk (the black griffin) came out... who i recently renamed to Zivatar (it means Squall). I also considered Vihar (which means Storm). Also a rare sighting of White Raven, plus two representatives of celestians who I also neglected lately (visually. Worldbuilding-wise i've been working on them too).

More of these. Initially I wanted basic clothes (as plain and simple as possible). Then came some galaxy-brain shirt graphics. Then came Phoenix (before her, it was just Griffin caressing Pegasus's butt and me laughing at that like a 12 year old, every day, for weeks). Then Pegasus started holding all kinds of poles

Recent drawings - kind of a random practice sketch with Griffin and Pegasus up there in desperate need of pants; headshot practice; random fullbody of Griffin's female form; and some nonsense

#whiteraven90 #Tetra #Pegasus #Griffin #you'd be surprised at how much of my brain is just semi-lucid nonsense

The Thinker

#whiteraven90 #Tetra #Griffin

[whiteraven90]

Some WIPs from kind of a study project. I made like 10 sets of clothes so far. SO FAR. I want to be able to at least pretend that I know how humans and their clothes work. I am a bird.

#whiteraven90 #Tetra #Pegasus #Griffin #Phoenix #i don't think i'm close to finishing it #BIG BIRD small bird l o n g b i r d #dark bird colorful bird bright bird #bird bird bird #i will be troubleshooting this thing until the day i die it seems

[whiteraven90]

I have to post something about this game, i haven't gotten so enthusiastic about anything since April. It's a free visual novel about alien whales, with good-looking art and great world-building and everything. I just want it to be seen no matter the cost. ouo

And this one is one i have been working on myself since mid 2021! Side-scrolling dark fantasy game, not yet out. I wanted to mention it to shed light on what i have been working on lately. I still do personal art in my free time though.

Notable classes of beings of the nameless world home to Tetra, in order of their appearance.

I. FREE GODS

Characterized by stereotypical dragon behaviors, the free gods are boundlessly aggressive, lazy, and greedy titans. They've never created anything, own nothing, and typically they are senselessly hostile and don't negotiate. They have no need for food, but the stronger god devours the weaker one anyway. They usually tear into and start eating each other the moment they get close enough.

II. GODS

Tetra got its name from the fact that everything on it is owned by and was made of its four gods: ELI the dreamer, SOL the judge, ORM the sculptor, and ARK the warden. These are not names but three-letter codes assigned to them. They are referred to as "the gods", or as Tetran gods.

III. SPIRITS

Spirits were created by the gods as blueprints for species - flora and fauna both. Their primary objective as such was to preserve themselves. They were given a high level of sentience and godlike control over their own selves to this end, although that initial objective has been obsolete for a while.

They are incorporeal beings who can temporarily create themselves in corporeal space. They have no lifespan, no single default form, no sex, no orientation, no physical needs. By default, they communicate via telepathy, although they don't typically communicate at all.

IV. MORTALS

All mortal species have been created out of chosen spirits by the gods. Not really a "class of being", a companion - often called spirit-master - is a mortal with whom a spirit has some kind of bond and/or frequent, willing interactions.

The nature of these relationships varies wildly, but every spirit has the same ulterior motive, as all of them are in the same boat. As of now, spirits are perplexed and unsettled by the sudden and unprecedented silence of the gods, and the simultaneous appearance of people.

The most involved companions are Pegasus's master Holly, and Phoenix's son Ryan; whereas the three highest-profile, busiest spirits are Phoenix, Griffin, and Pegasus.

------------------

I like to focus on the little stories of spirit-human relationships, instead of the big questions. I'm mainly working on a comic about how Holly got Pegasus to be her spirit. In the meantime, there will be the usual disjointed sketches and illustrations.

#whiteraven90 #Tetra #LORE POST #wrote a longer one but i realized i don't want to spoil everything #worldbuilding

[whiteraven90]

I'm thinking of making a worldbuilding/OC masterpost but i'm not yet sure what exactly to include in it. Anything you'd like to see/read about?

#whiteraven90 #Tetra #worldbuilding #I only do personal art for/because of stories set on Tetra :')
