Meanwhile I Am Pondering On Another AU.

Hi! I am starting this tumbler just to join Exalted Secret Santa exchange, so it is pretty fresh.

Character 1. Epsilon – Zenith Solar Exalted

Epsilon was raised in a lunar tribe at the far North of the Creation. The tribe itself was an experiment on social behavior, which supposed that all problems of humanity are caused by denial of animal instincts in human nature. She is focused on building a perfect society in the future.

Tribal upbringing resulted in low social experience, that is why she seems quite inadequate from time to time. On the other hand she has perfect senses. Her best friend is a giant sentient eagle named Alcvora.

Epsilon’s character is reliable, strict but generous and really stubborn. She is a bit paranoid, always expecting something bad to happen. She believes that failure of anyone in her circle is her own.

Appearance:

Epsilon is above average height; slim, but has some obvious muscles. Her dark hair is decorated with feathers. All of her facial features are a bit heavy. She prefers simple functional clothing, that she rarely changes.

Character 2. Qing Ying, The Red Crow – Eclipse Solar Exalted

Ying is a former Realm doctor and thaumaturgist, who was accused of murder of a dragon-blooded kid. While still being a mortal, she travelled with an exalted circle for a long time, and fell in love with one of the circle leaders - Misheng. After Misheng’s death she exalted, so Ying believes she inherited exaltation of her beloved.

Ying is inquisitive, but selfish. She used to be a jaded and cynical person before she met Misheng. While her character seems shallow (she loves alcohol and sex, addicted to opium), she is still a brilliant doctor and a decent occultist.  She is highly competent in any social tricks, being imperious or sexy when circumstances dictate so.

Appearance:

Ying is really beautiful, and she knows that. In her clothes she prefers wearing blood red, and often follows Realm fashion. She is literally always smoking.

So.. I have done a new art of really old character Ying the Red Crow. Last time I draw her was in 2016 years ago and she looked like this

Someone else might be drawing her right now *blush* and I realise she might be due some redesign. That what I done with arguable success.

Thing is I like a lot of details, but I HATE the overall outcome. Guess it is still done.

Still counts towards the new year resolution goal of 50 total art.

Funny thing, content of the book was kindly provided by my 6 years old daughter. She said: "Write there I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH and then cross everything as she is a witch and loves no one". And this weirdly strike a point, as the last time I touched the character she was recovering after her beloved one died.

I realized i haven’t posted anything for a long time. Well, I was drawing anyway. Each day, honestly. 

have skipped last Saturday, as I was trying to do a little "art regress" video. Attempts were futile.

May be tomorrow if I am lucky.

Exalted secret Santa intro

Exalted character #1 - Epsilon

Story

Epsilon was raised in a lunar tribe at the far North of the Creation. The tribe itself was an experiment on social behavior, which supposed that all problems of humanity are caused by denial of animal instincts in human nature.

Epsilon is not an actual name, rather hierarchical number that was assigned to her, based on her innate abilities. She might have not been the best among her "siblings", but she was for sure the most stubborn one.

Once she fell in argument with the tribe leader. To prove her point she climbed the mountain where the giant eagles lived in order to tame one of them. While struggling to get the animal under control Epsilon cut her long braids crafting a leash.

Epsilon came down from this mountain as Zenith Exalted, chosen by the Sun.

Character

Tribal upbringing resulted in low social experience, that is why she seems quite inadequate from time to time. On the other hand she has perfect senses. Her best friend is a giant sentient eagle named Alcvora.

Epsilon’s character is reliable, strict but generous and really stubborn. She is a bit paranoid, always expecting something bad to happen. She believes that failure of anyone in her circle is her own.

She is focused on building a perfect society based on the doctrine taught by her mentor.

Appearance:

Epsilon is above average height; slim, but has some obvious muscles. Her dark hair is decorated with feathers. All of her facial features are a bit heavy. She prefers simple functional clothing, that she rarely changes.

Exalted character #2 - Swan Feather Ledaal

Story

Kissed by the element they said. Being born with hair as white as clouds in summer sky, everyone was sure little Swan Feather Ledaal is destined for second breath. That is why from early years she was provided with best tutors possible and quickly proved to be gifted in the arts of war, especially exceeding in wielding a sword. As a descendant of Ledaal, Swan was raised a zealous follower of Immaculate faith, hoping to join the Wild Hunt one day. Her mother, Grace of Dancing Heron Ledaal, was proud of her daughter. That is why she overlooked some of Swan's less desirable interest for arts and crafts.

Through the school years Swan talent for fencing grew even stronger, as she was able to easily bit most of her class mates, including some of those, who were lucky to exalt. However her own exaltation didn't seem to rush. By the age of 14 her once supportive mother barely looked her way. Swan grew desperate for praises she used to receive so often, engaging in more unnecessary fights. During one of the school fights with exalted dragonblooded, she have noticed the fascination in non-exalted kids' eyes, that follow her fight. For all the unlucky ones, she was a living testament that they are still capable or worth of anything. Swan started to pay more attention to the spectators of her fights. Soon she learned simple truth - any dynast kid like to be a dragonblooded exalted, but no one like dragonblooded exalts. As attention and love was all she wanted - Swan Feather embraced the role of the champion for all the non-exalts.

AT around 19 years Swan Feather were called back home to assist her mother. One of the regions under their family reign were suffering of the severe draught, the problem could be boiled down to the fact, that local gods were struggling to assist citizens in the times of need, as they were weekend with extended draught, and unfortunately next praying season were nowhere near. Despite her immaculate faith upbringing, Swan decided to act. She envisioned statue of City guardians engraved in the cliff overlooking the main square that will be only visible when sun is in zenith, and when you are kneeling. There is nothing suspicious about beggar kneeling on the street under the angry sun, she decided.

With the sunset Swan left the mansion and get to work. She's been working all night, with no rest, and despite all the odds completed the work in time. When the first rays of sun lit carved surface she exalted as a chosen of Sun.

Now Swan is roaming creation as one of the leaders of the small mercenary band. Trying to come to piece with her own nature, and finding a new purpose in life.

Appearance Swan wears various clothes, however there are certain distinguish elements she gravitates too: 1. Electric blue colour 2. Statement earrings 3. Asymmetrical or unusual cuts.

Figting style

Swans weapon of choice two light swords named Sunlit Talon and Bloodsoaked Talon.

Swan is a master swardswoman. She knows it, she is proud of it.... And she is arrogant about it. With most of the foes she will start a fight holding a sword with her left hand. She will switch it to right hand, when the oponnent is worthy. Her second sword is only pulled out of elsewhere when the fight is genuinely exciting.

Anima

Swans Anima is crown made out of swords. When she is in a middle of fight (or stone carving) and hold her swords, essence flowing to the sword tip presents as a wing of swords along her arm. One for each sword equipped.

Oh… pink does suit her anima. All the renditions I have seen have it pink. And this character always strikes!!!! Such a material to work with…. Love the art! Love the character

barely made it here but HAPPY CALIBRATION @hamsandlich !!!!

had a lot of fun with this one and would've gotten it done sooner if this past month hadn't gotten the better of me! seraph of promised silence is a cool character, always a fan of someone with wing and eye motifs. i opted to do the pink for her anima instead of the gold because i thought it popped better, hope that's alright!!!

courtesy ping for @shiftingpath !!!!!!!!

I wanted to put a fancy colours on it but never made it…

So just post it like this for now.

May be one day….
