Description Whee.. finally! I've been meaning to do these for ages and ages. Ever since I first saw the Fearaki, a species that *OpalSkye created, I've been wanting to create some of my own. So.. finally. Here they are.It turned out I created two instead of one. Oops. But oh well. I had a lot of fun with these.. the markings are fun to play with! Kudos to My for creating such an interesting species No shading because this is just to show their markings and colours.

These two are a brother and sister pair from the same litter. The two siblings lost their parents at an early age, and are very close and protective of each other, particularly Mwai for Lae as she's more childlike and innocent, and he feels more like the elder twin, I suppose. Aww :3

Mwaiyho (pronounced 'Mwai-yoh') is the male twin, and he's serious, almost brooding, and a pragmatic thinker. The strong and silent type if you will. His sister Mylaera is more optimistic and naive to the point that she can come across as frivolous, but really, she's got more sides to her than most would think.

That was partly why I made Lae's physical markings more elaborate, I think. Mwai is less complicated and likewise, his markings are simpler. The soul markings, too, are supposed to reflect themselves - the deep calm blues illustrate Mwai's strong and silent personality but he has a warm side and can also be fired up if the wrong nerve is touched, hence the orange. The warm pinks and yellow in Lae's soul palette reflect her sunniness and passionate nature.

I should admit that I drew upon the personalities of myself and my own brother for inspiration xDD of course we didn't lose our parents or anything and we're not particularly close or twins, but the base personality traits are there.

Woah :3
They're great. Especially Mylaera. She reminds me of my own fursona. ^^
I love the anatomy and the poses are great.

LOL! They're called Fearaki, and they're supposed to be hybrids or relatives of Foxes, Wolves and Lynxes. They were created by the wonderful *OpalSkye , and you can go to her gallery to see more pictures and information on them Although this picture ([link] ) has pretty much all you need to know.

Y'know, you should create one! I'm sure Opal would love it

Haha.. well, the swirly markings are inspired by the Fearakis' creator.. if you'll go check her out *OpalSkye She designed them.. I can't take credit for them.

Thanks though

i no theres only two, but i'll change it to them both just for you....... also in order to do that i would have to take my megre drawing abilities, lack of any sort of digital art thingy and also the lack of a scanner..... tis just a little hard dont ya think??

swift-whippet In reply to BrooksysLittleSister [2005-08-25 17:49:38 +0000 UTC]

Well, you did say you wanted one.. and the only way would be to create one yourself, since these to belong to ME. :evillaughter:

Besides, you might be better at drawing than you think

*stares*

Oh my bloody god. NO WONDER YOU HAD FUN!!! These two are FRIKKIN AWESOME!!!
I'm shaking with sheer delight at these guys. Lae is so beautiful and Mwei is just so hansom! I cant even begin to know where you pulled these designs from, but one thing is for sure, they came from your soul and you have deep attachment to them. I am so honoured that you have chosen to bring these two into the world. Their colours and designs are so beautiful. I wish I could favourite this a thousand times. *gift art!!*

They are both very honest and true to the Fearaki. Kudos to you for interpretating my jumbled slurrs! Honest to Mytola, I love these two.

btw, those bubbas at the bottom....I want to eat them. *snuggle floofs*

*chuckles* Sometimes the more people think about certain things, the less clear they get. In times like that, it's better to feel. As far as my art and character creation goes, I depend on instinct rather than logic. I find that if I can experience a character or species enough it's child's play to create characters of and do art of them. Because you feel so much for the Fearaki, it shows in all the artwork you do of them.. and my intuition picked those feelings out. So.. thanks for all the art and the little writeups you do about them sprinkled here and there.. they really helped

I'm glad you like the little cubben versions of them too xD I doodled them for fun and was debating about whether to keep them, and in the end I did

And YAY! I'd love to see how they look in your style

I think I understand why you draw so well besides years of practice, you even create a whole history of the characters!

But nevertheless, that's some awesome artwork!

P.S: Do you have MSN messenger?

swift-whippet In reply to Krado [2005-08-23 17:02:38 +0000 UTC]

Well, that's the fun part, innit? When my characters are more three-dimensional it makes them more interesting, which makes me want to draw them more

Thanks dude.

Yeppers.. I'll note ya with it man. *doesn't like posting email/msn in public in case freakos decide to add her* Take note that I'm almost never on. And when I am I usually am very bad at holding up my end of the conversation xDD
