Ritual Offerings by Aurinona

Mon, 13 Apr 2009 17:39:26 -0000

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 fertility, for blessings, perhaps a way of showing respect to the spirit of the tree itself, giving it form, 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. Long LONG overdue commission for Ksilebo. I should probably still tighten up a few areas later on.

A few gryphons (or, um, Neopets Eyries, as the case may be) for Beaky. I was only supposed to draw one of them, but the others were too cute not to add.

September's GAX, for Tser. The theme was lyrics- this one was based on "Bright Eyes" from the Watership Down soundtrack. "Is it a kind of dream Floating out on the tide Following the river of death downstream Oh, is it a dream?"

Misty Guardian by Aurinona

Thu, 22 Feb 2007 03:57:36 -0000

Deep in the woods stands a stony grey figure beside overgrown ruins. At first it seems to be a statue- then it moves, barring your passage. Whatever he once protected may be long gone, but he yet stands vigilant, until Time claims him, too. Commission for ksilebo of a "Hexadragon".

It's Aurinona... well, the bipedal form of her, anyway. Unfortunately, I got a haircut the DAY before I finished it, so the hair is now wrong. Oops!

Beast of Winter by Aurinona

Fri, 17 Nov 2006 04:37:38 -0000

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, and knows nothing of good or evil. He merely is, and no wardings or muttered words can stop him from completing his task.
