How I Made Monsters for Inktober

I redesigned fairies for my worldbuilding project in Inktober of 2022. Here's an exerpt: Below the forest roofs of Animus, little light reaches your view from above. Lost from your path, you remember the lore shared with you before entering the wilderness... A merchant's plea, a traveler's warning: "Beware the forest folk, beware ...Stray not far from your trail, and be sure they're out there. ...

    Mithra… just a point to make, this is your chief deity, yes? It’s very close if not the same name as the Hyborean goddess from Conan. Not saying don’t use it, just pointing out the similarities of the name.

    • @creativeanimus
      @creativeanimus 17 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Gotcha. And yes, Mithra is my project's chief deity of light. A fun fact: The name "Mithra" is actually derived from "Mitra", the name of an ancient Zoroastrian & Indo-Iranian deity. In ancient historical texts, "Mithra" was thought to be a diety of light and justice. My fiction borrows the name from this.

    Is there elementals that are a combination of two different elements. For example, fire and water create an elemental that looks like a mixture of smoke or water and lightning, taking the form similar to an eel or stingray.

    "Seeven forces of nature", you say... even before having properly watched the video, the creature on the thumbnail makes me think of the Sun, but its halo reminds me of the eight-pointed star of arrows, a symbol of chaos (not just in Warhammer!) Here's a fun bit of knowledge: The sun has a somewhat archaic nickname in Dutch, "De Koperen Ploert", meaning "The Copper Cur". Another somewhat archaic Dutch word, for a mace, cudgel or otherwise horrible bludgeoning weapon, is "Ploertendoder", meaning "Cur Killer".

    • @creativeanimus
      @creativeanimus 19 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Very glad to hear it 😁 The heirs are believed to be picked through a mysterious system of power not fully understood called "The Seed of Pathos". And heirs who abuse their power have their ultimate fate judged under that same system of power. It's a "with great power comes great responsibility" sort of relationship, both with their existence in the material world and the integrity of their soul :)

    @Abundance100 🙏 Very true. If, (and it's a big if) you beat one, theoretically, if you also have the ability to harness magic too somehow then you could obtain the elemental's core to use as an item. If used correctly, that could make someone one of the strongest users of that magic art

    Sorry to ask but can all the 3 different groups of humans,.....procreate? If yes, then is one of three more dominant than the others in terms of dna and physical attributes? Do their offsprings get both parents abilities?

    • @creativeanimus
      @creativeanimus 24 วันที่ผ่านมา

      You're total fine. That's a great question and the answer is yes. Depending on the parents, offspring would have certain traits that are more dominant or recessive based on those factors ranging from appearance and powers. For example - A human who's a Novo and Man hybrid might appear with visible but less prominent Novo features but still retains the ability to access magic. Does that make sense?

    I *really* like the robots design and the way the magic/machine system works. It feels alien and dangerous, completely inorganic and un-human in every way. The magic itself functions inorganically as well- its not a living system, transported into a machine, but looks like a static, nearly binary logic, folded and shaped by machinery into use. Very interesting.
