Panel 1-2: "But, honestly, Lana... There hasn't even been a small Saurian seen in years." Feyn walks up the hill to meet her, his face looking annoyed by still cocky. Panel 3: "... Feyn... they're here..." Nalana looks back and says quietly as some wolves approach in the background behind her. Panel 4-5: Feyn keeps talking over her, "Besides, what's Krya gonna do to punish us, anyway? Sentries are already the lowest, most disrespected and underappreciated in the Pack. Not like we chose this job. I should have been a Hunter, I could outpace and of those overgrown dogs!" "Uh... Feyn..." Nalana tries again to get his attention as the wolves get closer still. "They may have size, but haulin' around all that bulk must make them tired. Too bad their brains don't watch!"

Panel 1: "What's so damn special about Hunters anyway? They are practically given their positions, and based on what? Their huge asses?" Feyn continues his insulting monologue, it is clear he can't see the wolves over the hill. We see the first glimpse of the scars on his leg. Panel 2-3: "Tch, even with my busted leg, I would be faster and smarter on..." he finally makes it to the top of the hill and sees the wolves, "Hunter's trek..." he finishes. Panel 4: "Well shit..." Feyn droops his ears with an annoyed look. Panel 5: The wolves stare at him, it is clear they heard the whole thing. Nalana smiles awkwardly as they are both caught. Panel 6: A zoom in of the face of a scarred white wolf, Krya, as she raises an eyebrow at Feyn.

The grotto from the cover page, but this time there are coyotes posted on the lower rocks and a wolf above near a cave. Krya leads Feyn toward an upward slope.

Panel 1-2: "Wait here for the Commanders." Krya leaves Feyn as she walks up the slope. The other coyotes watch her. Feyn looks annoyed. Panel 3: "Aye! There he is! Runnin' yer mouth again, Feyn the Pain?" a grey coyote looks excited and antagonistic as he catches Feyn's attention. Panel 4: "Mind your own business, Livek." Feyn turns away and sticks his nose in the air. Panel 5: Livek looks pleased that he is bothering Feyn, "Heh... so..." Panel 6-7: "What were you doing this time? Epic battle with another Allosaur? Getting your ass kicked by a gazelle? Oh... Or, maybe you were playing Great Race again?" he walks toward and around Feyn, "Come to think of it, the Race is comin' up, isn't it? You think you'll get picked?" Feyn looks annoyed as he watches Livek.

Page 12: Feyn smirks, "You worry too much, Nalana."
She cocks and eyebrow, "Oh, Feyn... I know you hate Sentry duty... But..." she seems to gather some resolve, "You're getting me in trouble too, you know!"
Feyn sighs and looks thoughtful, "...sigh... Yeah... I know."

Page 11: "Feeeeyn! Feyn!" he skids to a halt as his name is called, looking back to see a black coyote on a hill, "You should come back now!" she calls, You can't get caught off your post again..." close up of her, "Please? Krya and her Hunters will be back and minute..." she looks behind her.

oops... alt text didn't save.

Page 10: A reddish brow coyote runs across the panels as they slowly zoom in. He is against a background of ocean horizon and distant palm beach. "A simple Sentry could never be a hero... Everyone knows that! But one day... everyone will know how wrong they were!"

Panel 1: "All of the great heroes were first Champions who ran the Great Race." a landscape of grassland and hills with forest and mountains behind it; white quartz crystals jut out from the ground. (this was intended to show the starting line of the Race) Panel 2: "Each of them, following in Valdyr's footsteps... Each time the moons align and reveal the Rift to us. Through the woods and fields and stones they ran..." another similar landscape with rock formations, hot springs and a small volcano. Panel 3: "Each Champion proves themselves... and each Champion will return a hero." a landscape of forest, hills and mountains behind a river and another volcano, there is an uplift of basalt pillars down the middle (this was meant to show the Rift landscape"

Pages 9-12 of Balance (rough draft from 2022-24). Page 9 was made in 2018-19, so excuse it's oldness, it was a series of map style landscapes for a video game class I took as an elective.

Panel 1: "There is a legend... of a time before these five coalitions were formed... We were at odds..." a silhouette of a hyena and a wolf snarling at each other against a ripped background of red and pink. Panel 2: "We lived in bitter rivalry... The races of Zenethi destroyed each other... We fought for hunting rights and land... Frivolous things..." a silhouette of a clawed panther paw and sharp wolf teeth against a red background. Panel 3: "But we are not the only creatures who coveted these lands. Dumai was overrun with beasts of wildest imaginings... The Meridiani." A majungasaurus emurges from the shadow against a dark, lightning lit sky.

Panel 1: "Beasts of ancient Saurian descent, with teeth and claws... unlike any of the Zenethi peoples... With voracious appetites for our flesh and bone... They wiped out whole tribes, clans and packs..." a silhouette of the five creatures: panther, hyena, cheetah, dog and wolf, running from an endless spiral of teeth; a yellow eyes watching them and claws in front of them. Panel 2: "Those who were quick of foot were forced to run... To abandon their lands..." a desert with mesas, a sky of orange and a bright sun; pawprints disappear into the desert. Panel 3: "Those who were strong of body fought for their homes... ... But defeat was inevitable..." a wolf skull sits on the ground with a succulent and some flowers.

"Then... there was the shining lights of Dumai. Valdyr... Noblest of all Zenethi... With the ability to harness the power of the five moons... And part the seas of the Rift." a white wolf shares forward, standing on a small island in still water; the backdrop is a purple sky with stylized waves and five bright circles.

Panel 1: "Valdyr defeated the Apex Meridiani and drove the beasts back to the Far Reaches. He was a hero." a silhouette of a horned dinosaur, mouth open with sharp teeth while the white wolf leaps toward it in sparkling light. Panel 2: "The greatest of Heros to ever be..." a white wolf sitting on a pedestal, echoing the first page, with silhouettes of wolves and coyotes behind them, frames by the sun on an orange sky.

Chapter One The Sentry Image of a grotto in full sunlight with purple/pink crystals growing from the ground.

Panel 1: "As far back as I can remember, I have wanted to make a difference... To be remembered..." a coyote silhouette with glowing purple eyes stands in front of a sky of five bright circles reflected by still water. Panel 2: "To be... A hero." the silhouette sits on a pedestal surrounded by other wolf and coyote silhouettes that are howling and seem to be celebrating.

Panel 1: "We are the Zenethi. The People." a simplified landscape including cliffs, rocks, sand, palm trees and jungle in which silhouettes of various animal shapes are present: dogs, wolves, cheetahs, hyenas and panthers. Some of them have glowing eyes. Panel 2: "Those with light in our eyes. And fire in our souls. We keep order here. And we rule this land of Dumai. Our home." five silhouettes of these animals in profile, stacked in diagonal, they all have glowing eyes.

A page of the five animal specters: wolf, panther, dog, hyena and cheetah with a rainbow background. "The Beryli, a race with thick fur and resilience, who make their home in the grasslands and woods to the west." "The Jaden, a race with strength and stealth. They live in the deeps jungles of the highlands to the east." "The Lapasa, a race with endurance, who builds their communities with teamwork in their home in the south." "The Corunda, a race with perseverance and powerful jaws. The reside in the north, near the great sand dunes." "The Amberi, a race of quick and agile runners. They line in the hills and grasslands to the northeast where rivers run." "We all live in the lands of Dumai in hesitant alliance."

I want to at least share my first draft of Project Balance. This has turned into the rough draft because I have scrapped it and plan to redraw from the beginning. It seems a shame not to show the work I did a few years ago.

Taking breaks is so good for you. I appreciate your work a lot, please take care of yourself ♡

Ah, the best character plans never survive contact with rp.
But super gay is awesome :3

A shallow river running through a pine forest

A creek in the woods

A digital illustration of a tiny black and orange dragon, perched on a small mossy rock, nose to nose with an even smaller black and orange caterpillar.

Does anybody need to see a tiny dragon and a caterpillar today? Yeah, me too.

This is the best dilo I've ever seen. I love the crests and how real and tangible it looks. Just amazing work.

A portrait of dilophosaurus - a dinosaur made famous by the Jurassic Park movies, and distinguished by the large double-crest on its head. It is shown bathed in the golden light of a dramatic sunrise.

Drooling Dilophosaurus at Dawn.

A new illustration of Dilophosaurs wetherilli - much bigger than Jurassic Park would have you believe. No frill, no spitting venom, just big, drooly, and slightly terrifying.

Old tarot art! Imogen 😊 #CriticalRole

I love The Mummy! Probably in my top 10 faves. Amazing work

I love all your colors and subjects!! I look forward to seeing more ♡

Very cool. I've been meaning to get into ARK.
I love the bright saturated color on this.

A three panel set of backgrounds, the top is a tropical forest trail during the morning light, the middle is a small tropical waterfall and crystal blue pool, the bottom is a distant volcano with the forest in front of it.

These are some old backgrounds a made for Balance. They might still be used for something, but they were good studies regardless.

A painterly study of rocks with a cave in the center and some plants. The light source is coming from the right side. There is a gradient palette at the top.

A quick rock study is was working on recently. Trying to visualize how the faces of the stone would catch light.

A red coyote character in running position. She has violet on yellow eyes and a rip in her right ear.

This is Arowin. Feyn's mother. I recently had a story unlocking moment that involved her, so I needed a design! She is a big brighter red than he is, but they share some similarities in markings and shape.

Such good toofs!!

Strong women have always been at the heart of Myre’s story. Over time, they became leaders and fighters, holding their ground in a harsh and unforgiving landscape.

Wow that's so beautiful!

So cute!! Ah I love the color combo
