What do you think, is he majestic looking enough? :P

Not much to say here, just a handsome lion guy, unrelated to any of my settings. He could be a Leonine from my girlfriend @hunterbeinghunted.bsky.social 's setting though, it would be quite fitting in term of looks! :D

Taking a lot of inspiration from my local history for this. Pockets of paganism remained in Alpine areas until the 16-17th centuries. Benandanti (good walkers) were a cult who believed they could fight evil spirits in the dream world.

Thinking of naming her Strìa btw (Witch in my local language)

Drawtober 8-Witch

Scrawny marten is back!
As I've mentioned before, she knows a thing or two about magic, mainly healing but also protection spells and exorcisms (like here).

She's a "good walker" who can visit the spirit world while dreaming / in a trance, and talk or fight with the beings there.

For the record, in Nur's society it's normal for high caste men to have more than one wife. Nur sees both Nireth and Khori equally as his mothers, although Khori (right) is his bio mom.

Nur's parents were a "throuple" and very much in love even before marrying each other, with a lot of family drama

As they reached adulthood, Nur and his twin Kor followed their father Rahan to war. After 3 years, only Nur returned home, missing half of his face.

Nur's mothers, Nireth and Khori had to keep it together for the sake of their children, but the first few months were extremely rough on them.

I made one myself using a random word generator! So it's an "unofficial" challenge I do only for my own amusement ^^

Still, if you want to know the prompt list, let me know!

For the record, his uncle was a great warrior, but also a sadist who inflicted terrible horrors upon his prisoners. During a war campaign Azad, as warrior-priest, tried to tell him repeatedly the Gods were not approving of this, but was ignored.

In the end he killed his own uncle and was banished.

Azad has quite a calm personality, but when he was first banished from his tribe he didn't take it well at all.
As a warrior-priest Azad was staying away from earthly pleasures to be closer to the spirits, but after his banishment he went for the instant gratification route hard.

Drawtober 5-Lily

Some water lily farmers at work collecting seeds to later sell at the local market.

The three workers here belong to three separate species, an Ajshar (tufted cat, most common group), a Herimash (spotcat, forest dwellers) and a Human (new settlers, some peaceful, some invaders)

That's really cool! :D How are those proverbs like?

I know dugout canoes are still made in several parts of the world, but it's becoming less and less common (sad but understandable I guess).
I think in Europe Estonia is the only place where the tradition survived until modern days.

I've been reading about some neolithic dugout canoes that were found in Europe, and some were almost 20 metres long, so I wanted to draw something along those lines. Once ready a canoe like this can carry a whole war party

It's made by hollowing a tree trunk with controlled burning and carving btw

My new obsession: dugout canoes :P
The Herimash, one of the two catfolk species of my setting, are not afraid of water. While some tribes are skilled sailors in the open seas, for others a canoe is more than enough, and in this case the whole tribe has come together to create one!

Drawtober 3-Poem

I don't think Enorach knows how to write in this stage of his life, and even if he does his handwriting is probably terrible. If he needs to seduce some fair maiden with a poem, Lars has to help him (and suffer greatly in the process). :P
