Ritual Offerings

Commission for Ksilebo.

In the depths of a great forest stands an old figure, carved from the wood of a dead tree. At its feet lie shiny stones, fruits, flowers- an assortment of offerings. Anyone who might chance to stumble across it will wonder at its purpose - is it a tribute to a hero or a mystic, or a likeness of some strange deity? Is it a hope for blessings, or a way of showing respect to the spirit of the tree itself, turning the dead wood into a nature god to protect the living forest?

How long have the little ones held their rituals around it? They could not have been the ones to carve it. Do they know what its purpose was? What do they hope to gain by bringing it these gifts? The tiny dragons gather here again and again... but they do not speak.

Bright Eyes

September 2007 GAX for Tser.

Digital badge for Illucian- I'm rather pleased with the lettering, given how horrendous my actual handwriting is.

Hunter

"If you were a king
Up there on your throne
Would you be wise enough to let me go
For this queen you think you own
Wants to be a hunter again... "

Painter IX.5

All Mine.

February 2007 GAX for MaxKhaos. Possum is a fun character. :)

Guardian of the Ruins

Commission for ksilebo of a "hexadragon".

This ancient forest is dark and misty, and dotted with crumbling, moldering ruins. Among them stands what seems, at first, to be a statue...until it moves. The place he once protected may be gone, but he remains here still.

Albi

Commission for TehAlbi.

Autumn grows weaker, Her hold on the realm becoming tenuous. The Beast of Winter enters, beautiful, but harsh, leaving a glittering, edged landscape behind Him. There are those who see that he also brings death, and would call Him evil- but he is no more than a Beast, a creature existing solely for His purpose, and how can something be evil, when it lacks free will? He merely <i>is</i>, and no wardings or muttered words can stop him from completing his task.

A blue merle, haha. I started out having way too much fun with a palette knife, and kind of went from there.

Luxietoo belongs to her creator. :)

OpenCanvas scribblie. Rynzoe belongs to her creator. :)
