2022 Update
4 years ago
Hello! God Jul, Happy New Year and all that fine stuff. I hope life has treated you better than our continuing pandemic has treated Earth and/or the collective mental health of the human race. Just doing a little update of sorts regarding my last journal and some 2022 stuff. Hopefully my immunocompromised ass makes it out of this month alive but no promises.
The Patreon is going well and has had a lot of recent activity! I've finished up the early stages of a couple personal projects, like my Anu'Kaya species masterlist, and I've got a couple of bigger pieces of art cooking now that I've found a bit more creative footing. As always, I'll post everything eventually, but if you'd like early access, alternate versions, absurd res, plus all the benefits that come with our active Discord community, it's all there as a thanks for your support! It truly means everything to me and my ability to continue doing art and worldbuilding.
As a personal thing, I've gotten my healthcare situation settled, so for the forseeable future I shouldn't have any issues related to insurance and such, which is a huge mental load off my mind. Oddly enough, I've been working on more art without the looming threat of being uninsured, and I'm starting to get through a small backlog that's piled up of things I've been wanting to work on. If I run out of ideas and my backlog is clear I may open for commissions, especially as more people have been asking about them. I have to balance them with the Patron request streams I do, though, since I don't want to burn out with stuff that isn't personal - juggling paid commissions and free requests. We'll see how it shakes out after I get through a bit more of my backed up work!
Thank you again to all my Patrons, watchers, commenters, favorites, and everyone who's here to support my creative endeavors. I really don't know what I'd do if I didn't have a genuinely enthusiastic audience to share my worldbuilding and characters with. And whether you're here for that, or just for the porn, I hope I've got you covered either way. Hope you have a good 2022!
What are my worldbuilding projects?
My primary area of focus is on a headworld known as Atonkhai (so called by its largest group of inhabitants) and the golden city of Anu'Kaya, which is represented by an expansive, socially, culturally, and economically driven society that combines history and mythology. Its inhabitants are anthropomorphic creatures which are native of the regions they represent, and which scale in size relative to their real-world counterparts. In addition to Atonkhai - which is a blend of Old, Middle Kingdom, and Hellenic Egypt there are multiple lands including:
* The sub-Saharan African-inspired Zibwamanzi
* The continent of Arkhenon which draws from ancient Greece and Rome
* Uhrwecht, the icy kingdom based on Scandinavia and its sagas
* The tribes of the Koeskoue and the Kinoswk, owing to the eastern and northern Americas
* and the mysterious, nomadic Draedha - a unique species of canine//draconic hybrids that roam in clans across the desert fringes
All of these civilizations (and more, many of which still have stories to be told!) form the backbone of this expansive project, which I tend with only the utmost respect and reverence through my background in (and love for) sociology and anthropology. Their unique histories, languages, and societies all endow them with unique characteristics that allow of a breadth of creative and explorative collaborations. There's nothing I love more than receiving questions about these worlds or their inhabitants! The depth to which I create for these worlds beyond the characters include: globes and maps, weather and environment, language and writing, customs and culture, politics, economics, religion, and more. I am currently in the process of constructing comprehensive species lists for would-be characters as well as a wiki where anyone can learn about the history and social climate baked into each society.
The most well-known of the inhabitants, shared by both Vampirika and I, include:
* Jurah, Pharaoh of Anu'Kaya and his son Prince Rilohn - tended by his High Guard, Naz'akh.
* Rilohn's friends; Tameru and Salazin, Tarik and Zarqa, Amanra and Vazha.
* From Zibwamanzi: Kibokwe and his wife, Aisha.
* Arkhenon's Lykadion general, Daxos, and one of the hoi polloi, Arkos - plus the reigning Rhemian champion, Kestiux.
* Uhrwecht's King, Raghnar, and the aloof Vyldris.
* Koahki, chief of the Koeskoue, and his co-chieftan Johkuau, as well as their friend Shiloh and supply-runner from the Kinoswk, Dakota.
* The Chieftan of the Ravik clan of Draedha, Zatu, as well as his mate Herik and their clan rivals, Baalor and Seidra.
...among the many dozens of more characters inhabiting the world!
Please do not hesitate to contact me about any of these worlds or characters, as it gives me all the more opportunity to expound upon them and this world which I've grown so fond of~
