Wanted to draw sharp teeth lol

marked NSFW just in case

thinly veiled excuse to draw sharp teeth

I've learned that her ears are the most annoying bit of her design to draw, I have trouble drawing them a consistent scale, but well, they have their moments, like in the 2nd and 5th expressions

Mainly tried to improve by making it so it isn't an attachment, but all just one mechanism.

Many will probably consider that it being all one piece is a worsening of the design, but I just wanted to have some fun coming up with the mechanism required :>

Yes, the maintance on this monstrosity would probably be the bottom layer of hell haha

Let me know what you think

Some more Glaistig Uaine/Faerie Queen fanart again, this piece was inspired by the thought that if the Cycle were to go as planned, she'd probably have been the last Parahuman alive, before herself getting recollected by Scion. This is basically a depiction of that, though obviously with a lot of artistic license

Some Glaistig Uaine/Faerie Queen fanart :>

Couldn't decide if I liked the piece better with open or closed eyes, so I just did both

budget store Hedvika, I know

concepting an automata for my setting

The Great Aevrusan and Ivriqaean Bridges are two collections of extremely long floating bridges that connect the island of Aithalia - and therefore the greatest city in the world, Aelnyyraea - to the Aevrusan and Ivriqaean continents.

The Aevrusan bridges span 80 ish kilometers (road length on islands included), while the Ivriqaean bridges span around 90 kilometers (island road length again included.) Both bridges can take up to three days to cross by foot. Carrying proper provisions is recommended because provisions are expensive to buy in the bridge taverns.

Making sure the skies are clear is also recommended, unless one wants to risk the wind or rain blowing one off the bridge and into the sea.

The longest single bridge can be found among the Ivriqaean bridges, and spans roughly 25 kilometers in length.

An enlarged arch to allow passage of the Aelnyyraean treasure and colonization ships is also located in this section. The other arches are large enough to let most other ships pass beneath.

As this section alone can take 8 hours to cross by foot, there are many taverns and rest stops dotted across the bridge's length. They tend to be smaller than the one in the render, which, being at the halfway point, also has accomodations for sleeping and a stable.

The bridge does not reach the bottom of the sea, but is instead a floating bridge, held up by magic.

Paying a bridge toll is required to cross and legionnaires are stationed haphazardly across the bridge's taverns, rest stops, beginnings and ends, to keep order and (randomly) check if travellers have paid the toll. Smuggling past them all is possible, but difficult and unlikely. Paying the toll is ultimately cheaper than paying smugglers too.

Once a year, Aekvorna's Lake at the heart of the Aemonican province shrinks to a tiny portion of its maximum size. It usually remains in this dried up state for 6 months of the year, from the middle of Spring, to the middle of Autumn.

The exact mechanics behind it are not understood by the locals, beyond knowing that the water drains into karst caves on the lakebed.

The locals attribute the appearing and disappearing of the lake to the locally widely worshipped goddess Aekvorna, their personification of the lake.

The inhabitants of the lake have built significant infrastructure to take full advantage of the lake. During the wet season massive amounts of water are stored in reservoirs built around natural and artificial islands as well as next to the shore.

This water is released during the dry season through a vast network of newly revealed canals to irrigate the dry lakebed. Along with the canals, a network of established roads emerges on the lakebed as well, both acting as landmarks the land owners use to distinguish their lands. The roads require some sweeping away of mud and debris before they can be fully utilized.

The reservoirs also pull double duty as fish farms. As well as a third duty, as the water released from the reservoirs also powers vast complexes of water mills, to process the grain that does not get shipped out, or gets shipped somewhere nearby.

Technically also a fourth duty for drinking water and a fifth duty for cooling the cities in summer, but those are a bit smaller.

The surface of the water in the reservoirs is covered with a domesticated sort of lilypad, which the locals plant to reduce evaporation. This lilypad is a major cultural symbol to the people of Aemonicum.

On the lakebed they cultivate the endemic floodgrain, a quick growing type of wheat perfectly suited for the environment of the lakebed. It cannot be cultivated effectively outside similar environments. During the dry season, two full harvests are typically achieved.

The harvested floodgrain is transferred to warehouses within the floodgrain cities, ready to be shipped out to Aelnyyraea when the wet season arrives.

During the dry seasons, the floodgrain cities lose massive portions of their inhabitants, a majority migrating to the newly dry lakebed, where they spend 6 months farming and living in temporary settlements/housing.

Once the wet season starts the locals migrate back to their permanent housing within the cities, bringing along the last of the harvest with them.

Aekvorna's lake typically takes two months to fill up, remains at it's maximum size for 3 months and dries for a month, until it reaches it's minimum typical size.

Skipped a bunch of 'connecting' frames, not to mention all the duplicate frames with different text, there were 161 at the end (but only 25 entirely unique frames)
