[far-side-skies]

Finally getting some work done on my challenge OC this week. Or one of them at least.

This is Ecto, a blind batfolk who lives on the Far Side with his twin, Alba. They reside on a Terra known as Stringhold, named for the city-sized arachnoid nest that takes up a good portion of its forests and cave system.

@far-side-skies Here’s Prairie! My character for April’s bird challenge!

Prairie is Gaven’s younger sister, raised on the hidden Terra or Terra Sky due to unforeseen circumstances, and is currently a witch in training. Very sweet and kind like her brother, but Prairie has a bit more spunk and rashness in her thank to her Uncle’s influence.

She’s also a Mama to a little girl named Mary! I wanted to draw her too for this month, but I couldn’t decide on a design.

The color palette was really fun, I hope you like her!

Enter stage left, Blood Shrike, the legacy of House Chanthara, ‘loyal’ servant to the Empire of Cyclonia, and this month’s entry into @far-side-skies’s bird OC challenge!

Third-eldest of the Cyclonian Elites, Blood Shrike primarily heads the Crystal Weaponry and Development sector for the empire’s war effort. It is better to die in a battle against Cyclonia, lest you survive as a prisoner-turned-lab rat for their experiments.

Ironically years beforehand, Blood Shrike and their siblings were test subjects for a study surrounding cures for Binding Sickness. As the sole survivor they left with crystals in their blood and back, and a heavy grudge against those with a natural attunement to the Binding.

Needless to say they do not take kindly to Emperor Cyclonis, who wears a crystal that Blood Shrike recognises all too well from the labs.

P.S: don’t get too close to them. those claws are Sharp.

My entry for the @far-side-skies oc bird, I had wanted to participate so much but for one reason or another I couldn't, I hope to be able to participate in future contests. I have been very inspired, well here is the info.

Name: Kirie

Age: 15 years

Race: Human

Height and weight: 1.62m 58kg

Terra of Origin: Sama, One of many terras that was thought to be uninhabited, but with a warm climate and good resources, mainly raw crystal mines, being invaded first by the Raptors but in the end being part of the Cyclonian territory.

Occupation/Position: Talon

Squad: Cyclonians

Description of his personality: Having the character of cheerfully obnoxious, dedicated, joker, he was a person who could relax the environment when they were not on duty, being a good companion but his high loyalty to Cyclonia became too dense to the point of going out of his way for the ideals.

Status: Unknown possibly deceased

History:

Born in a tribe in Terra Sama with ease, it was not until the age of 6 when the Raptors attacked his tribe, arriving by simple chance to find some warm place, taking the advantage because the people of Sama did not have great technological advances reducing The number of people was very large, not much happened until the word spread by reconnaissance of the island by soldiers from Cyclonia, when they came across the town they easily manipulated the people with promises of protection and progress.

And so it was the first weeks after the people were taken from Sama, some to the factories, others secretly thrown into the Wastelands and the youngest being instructed as Talons, among them Kirie, advancing impeccably, they spent years where they did the will of that then Master Anarchis.

Some time passed until new young people arrived for the ranks, being Fenix ​​a red-haired boy from terra Glockenchime with whom he would form a friendship to a certain extent, have a more relaxed season for both, have a bit of childhood in that military and dark environment, but As time went by, Kirie's devotion to Cyclonia, rude attitudes, even putting down lands and races, began to tire the redhead, he had a very different vision of the circumstances, even with the friendship that little fractured.

Being a confrontation against the Sky Knights, the fight was close, however, Kirie's Switchblade began to fail, taking out smoke going into a tailspin, the boy managed to jump for Fenix's Skimmer but in the attempt to climb the ship he had a struggle that It ended in a direct blow to Kirie's face, letting go of his partner's unexpected attack, trying to get his parachute out but it didn't open, he just looked up seeing his friend sabotaging his own ship, jumping out of it and surrendering to the Sky Knights, only the screams calling him a traitor could be heard until he was lost at the bottom of the Wastelands.

this months oc! finally! i had the sketch done for a while but it took me a while to have the time and energy to color her and finish her. for @far-side-skies monthly challenge i present Rica Whitemane. the wife of Whitemane the leader of clan Whitemane for my dawnrunnner fan species. Rica is a melanistic Dawnrunner making all of her fur and scales black. In dawnrunner culture this is bad as they, as the name implies, are linked to the dawn and the sun. they shun darkness. conversely, an albino is considered a divine gift. but they are so revered that it is frowned upon to look at them directly. Whitemane built his clan for the shunned melanistic like his wife and the lonely albino. their clan's territory is terra merbia and the other prides and clans leave them alone because of this. Rica suffered a lot of abuse from her Pride before Whitemane found her. most of her scars as well as her broke horn are the remnants of that abuse and she is small and meek for a dawnrunner (small as in only 6'5") Rica's only saving grace that kept her from her Pride completely abandoning her as a yearling was the other genetic mutation she carries. she has the Lighthorn trait, which makes her horns white instead of dark like the majority of Dawnrunners.

Rica has a very sweet and quiet disposition and she loves Whitemane and their daughter Echo with all her heart.

This months oc for @far-side-skies challenge

Phantom "Tom" Rex

Head librarian of the Atmosian skyknight council library.

He was born on Terra Hades which had an exposed core and was destroyed when he was 18. He was separated from his twin sister Scrīc in the fallout. She went to Cyclonia.

He is very secretive about his past as it's not a good one. He chose to be a librarian because he just wants to peacefully read his books and forget the world exists.

He has too much paperwork for that though and has not been able to read all the books yet.

Has a specific love for cloaking crystals. And can be bribed with them for information or in his sister's case a place to stay for a while. She needed a place to hide for a few months and he begrudgingly let her stay with him. Dae [a previous challenge character] and Sidian [leader of the nightcrawlers] also used his place as a meeting ground for a time.

please just let him read his books. That's all he wants. to read all the books. Even the bad ones.

Entry for @far-side-skies art challenge, this month we were assigned the splendid sunbird and I had some fun with the colors..may have used the purples a bit too much but i regent nothing XD This was from a stomhawks next gen thing I thought up of years ago and never went into much detail for any the characters in it XD

~info~

Name: Ozul Nickname: Oz Age: 16 Height: 5.8" Race: Human/Bird experiment (no feathers yet)/Clone of the Dark Ace (doesn't know that yet) Gender: Hermaphrodite Sexuality: Unsure Home Terra: Farside - New Cyclonia Region Skills: Sky-fu, basic sky and ground combat, Crystal mage trainee

~Story~ When the floating terra of cyclonia fell and Master Cyclonis fled through the portal, she fled with a few loyalist but one wasn't among them ..the champion known as the dark ace was gone.

Being the Impatient women she is Cyclonis ordered Nikolai to get to work on bring back the dark ace. With not much of a lab set up this annoyed the scientist, but rather then risking his masters wrath he did as ordered and began the long process of cloning. Years later after a few failures, little Oz was the one that survived into his first stages of life, but as he grew his body wasn't holding up as it should have given the lack of Dark Ace's DNA to help build it back up Nikolai had to use what he had on hand, which was the DNA's of a bird and the masters to stabilize the boy. Around the time Oz turned five he was wondering around the farside boarder between when he bumped into a young Shang Akagiyama of Terra Kistune royal family, the two boys grew to bond and this gave Cyclonis the idea to use him as a pawn to get an alliance with the Kitaran. This then made her take the boy under her wing and removing him from Nikolai's care.

Growing up Ozul slowly learned just what type of person his mother was and what happened when she was made upset or disappointed. The burns on his left arm will be a permanent reminder of those lessons. Weirdly enough all Oz wishes if for her love and approval and thinks her coldness and harsh punishments are merely an act she puts on, to showcase her standing as ruler of New Cyclonia, so he pushes himself to study, train and practice in hopes of achieving that.

Having Shang for a friend definitely made Ozul feel less alone, hell the Kitaran was his first and only best friend, his mother forbid him from ever leaving the palace, not truly caring about his needs at all and just wanting a weapon to keep by her side, In the early morning on his sixteenth birthday Shang got him to sneak out and took him to Atmos. One glace of the sky and clouds, was all it took and Oz fell love with it, the duo continued this habit of sneaking over to the other side and not wanting to get caught Nikolai had a special outfit created for Ozul (he caught Oz sneaking back in one night but kept it hush hush) that would hide his identity; the armor on it would react to his crystal binding abilities and actually amplify them by a small percentage, thanks to the metal it was forged out of.

Wow that was a lot to type, hope it wasn't too allover the place XD

[stormseclipse]

Here’s my entry for @far-side-skies oc challenge!

You get a two in one this month :b

Names: Astennu, god of death, and Femi, goddess of life

Home terra: Terra Shezmu? Or all of Atmos

Bio: About 5000 years ago, a group of humans sought to create a crystal that could give them unimaginable power and longevity, they succeeded but at a great cost. They were transformed into animalistic monsters who could only drink blood. Those that survived the rampage quickly tried to destroy the crystal to prevent this from ever happening again but it began to heal itself, pulling the pieces back together except for one shard, which was taken and hidden somewhere deep on Atmos.

Since the vampires, as the creatures came to be called, could not be killed, they were left to roam Atmos, soon turning more humans into one of their own. As their numbers grew, the gods of Atmos created new gods to govern them, one to bring them death and one to bring them life.

Astennu was created first to bring order to the land, giving the vampires their mortality and their weaknesses. Modern vampires describe him as quiet and stern, he rarely chooses to intervene on mortal affairs, choosing to focus on his main job of making sure the cycle of life and death continues.

Femi was created second to bring prosperity to the new species of Atmos. She gives them their long life as well as their ability to transform back into their human forms, should they so choose. Femi is described as cheerful and loving, often granting gifts to the mortals and keeping a close eye on them.

Astennu and Femi are also mates, with their “soul mark” being a butterfly. Symbolizing their duties to the cycle of life and death.

My entry for the Storm Hawks Bird OC Challenge: Ardennaise chicken is the December theme :) @far-side-skies

Name: Hirundo Progne

Age: 18

Terra: Coriolis

Occupation: Crystal technician but aspirating squadron member

Living in the most rural area of Terra Coriolis (Freshets Highlands) it’s hard to get crystal technology working properly, so Hirundo’s family take care of electricity systems based on crystal. They are Atmos’ electricians.

Hirundo works along with her parents, uncles, aunts, cousins and 5 siblings but are based on Velum, the “capital” of Freshets Highlands, where the population has a really particular ethnic identity that is different from the rest of Coriolis.

She loves her work and even if she’s not interested in crystal magic itself, she loves the technical aspects of electricity that crystals produce. But she also wants to form a squadron along with her friend Roc and his friends Garuda and Anqa. Only time will tell if this happens or if their lives will make them walk apart, because all of them need to work to sustain their families and the leaders of Coriolis aren’t interested in Freshet.

Thanks for read 😊

[hanniebones]

Reintroducing my old Storm Hawks OC, Captain Rosin, for @far-side-skies challenge! An osprey was so fitting for him, it was the perfect opportunity to push his design.

Species : Skog

Occupation: Captain of the Nightingales.

Age: Early 40's.

Skogs in Atmos are a race wrapped in ambiguity and mystery; keeping to their own, a quiet lot, have a habit for lurking, and becoming livelier only when the sun goes down. These traits haven't gained them a very friendly reputation and work can sometimes be hard to find, but o'l Roisin found opportunity in this misfortune. Gathering his most trusted companions, be formed a crew and marketed themselves as the most skilled professional carriers of precious relics, artifacts, and treasures for high paying customers of Atmos. Who better to transport the rarest, most coveted, most "steal-able" of crystals and baubles than the masters of stealth themselves? Although they refuse to do business with a certain empire...

Traveling only under the guise of darkness, Roisin and his all skog crew, except for the twilight crooner, Ichabod, in the hold, have seen just about all there is to see and the mere mention of their names keeps most Murk Raiders and challengers at bay. However, beneath Roisin's intimidating, wily facade, is the best crazy uncle you never knew you needed. He has a tender spot for children and like most other skog, has a deep love of music and storytelling. He values the lives of his crew and few others closest to him above all else. They're all he has left.

Finally got a chance to enter @far-side-skies Bird Month Challenge, I’ve attempted to participate before, but usually stopped either due to art block, not finishing on time and work. But this month I was determined to actually do the art challenge, and now I have and I defiantly want participate in future Bird Moth Challenges( Assuming I don’t quit half way through -_-; ) And yes, I did color it traditionally with my markers since I’m still figuring out my new drawing tablet and a new art program. So I had to be really careful when I was coloring, as well as trying to find the right colors to fit this months Sea Hawk theme.

So allow me to introduce the famous Atmosian film star Calliope Pandion.

Age: Reported to be around her late 30s( She doesn’t like sharing her real age)

Home Terra: Terra Atmosia

Bio:

Beautiful and very talented, Calliope actually had a pretty rough start to her acting career, taking bit roles and rarely getting a speaking part. But her big break came when a then unknown movie director Carmilla de Luna chose Calliope for her then upcoming movie Desert Heat, a romantic film that needed a beautiful actress to star along side the male Raptor lead. When they finished filming and the film was released, it was a huge hit with audiences( Mainly with human women) and propelled Calliope to stardom. Since then she had starred in multiple films, and has continued to act in more of Carmilla’s films since they both wouldn’t have gotten famous without one another. And with Carmilla, she has been dubbed as “ The Woman Mates With Monsters” by her fans( Her mainly human fans) due to a lot of her films having other species as her love interests. Their are however rumors that she actually hates working with actors and directors of a different species and treats her co stars badly behind the camera and Carmilla’s back, but they have yet to be proven.

Trivia:

- She has starred in about 42 movies in her 10+ years as an actress. - While she does have many fans, she does have her haters, may of which are of the different species of Atmos that criticize how their species are depicted in her films( One Blizzarian hater stated that the film Eternal Snow had depicted Blizzarians saying “Hoser” to many times.)

And that’s Calliope, the idea of a famous actress in Atmos that’s secretly against other species  has actually been on my mind for months, as well as @uncertainty5​‘s BMC OC AVADA also giving me inspiration as well.( And no, I don’t think Calliope would work in one of AVADA’s movies since not only she’s heard he mainly makes propaganda films for Cyclonia, but also because he’s a Merb.

And Carmilla de Luna is a female parody of actual director Guillermo del Toro.

I hope you guys like( or hate) Calliope, I had fun drawing her and again, I’m so glad to finally have a chance to enter @far-side-skies​ Bird Month Challenge.

And good luck to all the other artist who are participating

Finally yeeting together a rough sketch of this month's bird OC(s). I wound up using a pair of identical twins for this one.

Phobos and Deimos Avadat are the youngest children of two high-ranking Talons named Cepheus (deceased) and Cassieopeia Avadat. They've got three older sibilngs: Hamlet (deceased), Monsoon and Andromeda (deceased). By the time the show starts, both of them are in their 40s.

Phobos was a commander of Cyclonia's cavalry division, often at the frontlines riding a pegasus into the thick of battle. Until a skirmish with the Rebel Ducks went seriously wrong and left him scarred and disabled (the picture above is pre-injury as I'm trying to pin down his base appeareance) about a year or two before the return of the Storm Hawks. Instead of retiring outright, he applied to transfer to the beastkeeper division, and now spends his time caring for the pegasus ranks and Cyclonia's other bestial numbers (occucrows, trackbeasts, etc.). It's allowed for him to be able to spend more time with his partner and children, but has severely disappointed his mother. He no longer cares, and some part of him blames her and the pressure she put on him to excel in the Talon ranks on his previous inability to bond with his children.

Deimos is just as, if not more successful than his twin. He's the leader of one of Cyclonia's specialist squadrons, the Fog Howlers. They're a strike team and one of the major players in the invasion and subsequent takeover of Merbia. He's still going strong and working to rise even further up the ranks of the Talon army. Far less laid-back than Phobos, he is of the opinion that Cyclonia's royal family has run its course, and the Empire is due for a change in leadership chosen by the people. He's not the only person with this opinion, and this insurrectionist group is known as the Disciples. Their choice in new ruler? Dark Ace. Phobos and Deimos's nephew.

Finally posting my entry for Decembers bird month! @far-side-skies

Meet Princess Fukayna Mariam Robin Gastor, the future ruler of Terra Giza, a collab terra I made with @far-side-skies and @grimm-the-6th/@ashe-alter. Terra Giza is well known for their papyrus (thick paper) production and it's one of the main reasons why Cyclonia is in alliance with them. As heir to the throne, Fukayna is expected to take her parents place as ruler of the terra. There's just one problem. They believe their daughter should be married before she can, much to her distain. This has led to many problems, including poor Austry (Grimm's oc) suddenly being pronounced her fiance when he's trying to negotiate. Fukayna is his 18th fiancé lol. It's only more annoying when her parents believe they need a man to help her but she's a lesbian. So uh, yeah, no interest there. Fukayna is striving to prove to her parents that she can be a good ruler, with or without help, and that she definitely doesn't need to get married. She's tired of the old fashion way and wants to start something new. She's a confident young woman who knows what she wants, sometimes being too overconfident, but has a caring heart. Wanting to improve and be a good ruler for her people. Hope you like her!

my entry for @far-side-skies’s monthly OC challenge!

As one of the Cyclonian Elites and their head strategist, 28 year old Aptornis has steadily gained a reputation of being one of the worst of the five Generals to piss off.

Raised under the wing of Empress Anarchis, she is no stranger to taking and dishing out ruthless methods for the power and glory of her empire. At 19 she reluctantly underwent a crystal enhancement to her brain in the hopes that it would refine her thoughts, instead Aptornis now has the ability to discern a person’s intent. The benefits from this upgrade do little to satiate her endless doubt regarding her plans towards Cyclonia’s war efforts.

As the eldest of her distant cousins, Aptornis has taken to be their leader. Heading their meetings, it’s rare to see her without several glasses of strong alcohol to soothe the inevitable headaches that arise, although she does hold a soft spot for Scimitar, the only person capable of beating her at chess.

It took me a little longer but my entry @far-side-skies for this month 

I always find something difficult to do because a lot of ideas XD Info Name: Aruma

Race: Agamid Subspecies of Raptor

Age: Unknown, possibly many years

Height and weight: 1.85m 79kg

Terra: Bogaton

Squadron / Alignment: None / Good

Status: alive

Personality: Even with a serious countenance, he becomes an understanding and even empathetic person, but he will watch over the well-being of those he loves, he breaks down in difficult moments but tries to divert all thoughts before doing something foolish.

History: Growing up in the rivalry of which race would lead the terra if the Adamid or Raptors, a young Aruma would train and be curious about the crystals, beginning to sympathize more with the Terradons among which Gikno would become a close friend and later a partner.Although there were conflicts between the inhabitants, things changed after Repton controlled everything together with the recent alliance with Cyclonia, sending Terradones to fortify the earth and the Adamid to fight against celestial knights.

Aruma and Ginko continued to see each other the few times they could, secretly keeping the nest of future offspring, Adamid tried to have the profile of just a simple civilian who would not be of much use to them, it was not until others confessed through threats that she had knowledge in crystals and fight, she refused to participate having a very hostile attitude towards Repton and the others, it was not until the destruction of the nest and loss of her young, already dejected, she joins the ranks to fight for cyclonia.

With the loss and even more with not being able to see Ginko again, he began to release his anger in battle spending a long time until he received a message from his lover with a plan for an escape having the help of a few also fed up with everything. Bogaton became, although it did not come out at first, they did not tire of trying to sabotage the defense system from the inside, while Aruma along with others made a distraction and fought against guards to then defend the escape ship.Arriving at a small terra forming a town,

 Aruma allowed himself to be captured by a celestial knight named Rook but she released all the information she could gather as long as her now home was also protected and that it was not a trick, there was even some mistrust Being locked up until everything he said was verified, some time later Aruma returned to his home already with the certainty of having the celestial knights on his side

Extras: there are very few Adamids that follow Atmos, they are almost always mixtures with other species such as terradons or raptors

Aruma is related to Onoga (part of the Ibis squad) ; she would be like her great-great-grandmother.

My wonderful lady Demigoddess

Honeytongue the clever

Entry for @far-side-skies bird challenge.

Honeytongue is an ancient champion (@far-side-skies lore, thank you for letting me make champions with you. So much fun)

She was a Dawnrunner who used traps and tricks to take down prey much larger and stronger than she was.

Impressed with her skill the giants made her a champion of the hunt. She represents cleverness and foresight. Between the two champion Dawnrunners she is often the more social one (the other is Sunny's Daystalker)

Together they protect a large pride of adopted Dawnrunner children. She is gentle and mothering towards children in general but especially towards her prides young.

Do not harm any children around her. Mama bear got nothing on this ancient Dawnrunner. She roams the far-side of the Atmos looking for new and exciting game to hunt.
