being obsessed with your own OC is the most magical feeling

Botw is such an interesting take on post apocalypse, because it isn't really dystopian. It is a wound healed over, a world that has forgotten the end of itself, and in that, has begun anew. Grandparents whisper their nightmares into the wind, and smile at their kin. The garrisons that remain are sodden ashes in the dirt, a burial ground, and the most fertile soil for miles. You do not know the past that your body remembers. You do not know the voices that linger, and yet you follow. You follow, because the world has forgotten you, and you have nothing that is yours to remember.

I am open for commissions ❤️

Storyboard sequence I made from the video game "Baldur's Gate 3"!! Love Karlach.

Such an interesting character! 👀 His trauma clearly had a profound impact on his life, poor guy... The way you made his scars is great. I also love the details in his accessories and hair, his neck piece is gorgeous!

New oc! This is Senem, from anurai clan.

He survived the palulukan attack and has trauma that led him to be a standoffish man of a very few words. He mostly messes with the palulukan bones and his sculptures are so abstract that no one really has the desire to appreciate them. He's not an outcast, but has no real connection to any particular na'vi. He's very lonely and it's slowly eating away at him.

A real connection to someone would have helped him, like really helped him.

If you don't mind, I'd like to ask some other questions regarding the Keyanga clan. 👉👈

How are the men for the harem chosen? Does the queen handpick them, and is there a mutual agreement? Or are there trials to determine whether they are worthy of being consorts?

What did you base this concept on? Is there any record of polyandry in African regions? Or is this something original?

Hello, of course you can ask always! I am just a bit slower to answer, coz this is a project with @yararts and we work on everything together. 💜

The Queen chooses the men she wants in her Harem. However, each man can decide for himself whether to accept the invitation. There is no punishment for refusing the queen's offer. All the men in her harem have chosen the queen and love her in a truly romantic way. Her first husband, with whom she entered into a lifelong bond, has died. She has no bond with the other men in the traditional sense, yet she loves each and every one of them. The men are also NOT in resentment among themselves. They support each other and all help with the children.

In Angola history, where we also drew a lot of inspiration, especially because Yara knows a lot about it because she is Angolan, it was very common for men to live in polygamy with multiple wives. However, since we have a matriarchy in our clan, meaning only women rule, we reversed the positions. It should also be noted that it is not stipulated that it has to be only men. The reigning queen of the Keyanga is free to choose which people she wants to love and therefore have as part of her harem. The Keyanga are also free to have multiple wives or men. Love, loyalty, and peace are very important to the Keyanga. They are a free, peaceful people with a strong leader.

I would also like to point out that even though we are orienting ourselves towards cultures, not everything is 1:1. We want to give ourselves creative freedom to further explore the fact that the Na'vi are an alien species from a sci-fi fantasy universe and to come up with new exciting things. 💜🥰
