Bunch of stuff from this last week. Including a really sketch concept comic, just to get the idea out of my brain.
Working on the design of these guys! For a few years actually, lol. They're called Theoni, and they're a race of horselike people in my stories. They're all vegetarian and their bodies are covered in fur, kinda like a horse. They have a lot of cleansing rituals based on their fur-skin, and they grow long hair on their forearms and calves that they call longfur.
They're a pompous race who believe they're the epitome of existence, and strive to reach what they call "perfection." They are very strict about keeping up appearances; scars and deformities are hidden by magic, and they come in a veriety of colors, though some of more desired than others. They usually hide their entire body from view--a practice carried down from generations of hiding from human detection, though in the stories this isn't too much of an issue, since humans know they exist anyway. When around their own kind the strict "cover up" doctrine is relaxed, and they are allowed to show off parts of themselves that they believe have reached perfection. Which basically means this: if a guy has gotten himself a few abs, he's allowed to wear clothing that shows them off and it's not considered "vulgar." Only high society really does this though, normal people practice a much less extreme version of it.
Theoni developed the runewriting aplphabet that most daemin (four races of "other" humans in my books) use. They're very adept at understanding magic and they aren't afraid to rub that in people's faces.
The following is a series of super sketchy comics I did over the week, just trying to get one of the scenes in my head down on paper. I tend to get intimidated by the thought of organizing comic pages into the comic format, so it helps me loosen up to not have the constricting page format. These two are Aydin and Halifax, who come from my webcomic Mirage, which you can check out here if you're interested: http://arapersonica.com/synchronicity/mirage.html

Aaand here are some updates on my MAP animation! I was given critique by Stringbing and I went in and adjusted the timing and things. I can definitely see the difference!
