Description
I've been working on some Hyksi-based fiction lately, since I want to get started developing all of my characters more, and it made me want to start drawing Ryvarda art again. I did some headshots of Hyksi characters I like, just for fun - I like how they all turned out pretty much :3 hope everyone likes them too. I want to draw more Hyksis and Fearaki now!Hellebore, Hawthorn and Hyksi species (that's a lotta H's!) ©
Dandelion and Meadowsweet ©
Nipa ©
Pothos ©
Lonicera ©

Rabbit x deer x weasel. They are the brainchild of *OpalSkye , and imho an amazing species. Some feedback on the actual art would really be appreciated!

These are neat! I love the facial expressions and the colors. :3 Meadowsweet is my favorite out of these and then Hellebore's face kills me. XDD Priceless.

awwwww Coukiipoot. I don't know if you know how much I appreciate all your support over the years that we've been watchers.
It makes me happy that you like this little drawing of Loni!
The Ryvarda RP board will be open soon enough once Opal finalises the map of Ryvarda and gets the areas set up. Then perhaps we can RP some Hyksis!

Naw, same too you hun
Wonderful, hopefully I can stay active on the Hyksi boards and not dissapear randomly... But its all very exciting, I can't wait to evolve all my characters and watch their personalities erupt. I just sketched a rather un-coukii like picture of a very angry sodenii baring her teeth and large body of the poor little loni kyfaw..and a very rabbi-esque but still quite hyksi sketch of Lilium's unnamed mother
I'm very excited to get these two drawings scanned...

I'm excited to see them! And I do look forward to RPing with you as well, even if it is just for a short time! and yes that is my favourite part of RP, I never knew it could happen like that until I tried it and now I just want to keep doing it with all my characters! xD

Hehe I feel quite strongly about the Hyksis now, After drawing these sketches, it feels like finally my practicing has paid off, they now perceive the general idea of what a Hyksi should look like, plus I'm able to portray emotions through the image (not as well as you do however) Which I've never been able to achieve before...
I guess I just didn't feel that strongly with MG..
I can't wait for the boards to open Im looking forward to networking my Hyksis alot, obviously Jump cannot mate with his nieces so in order for my little herd to grow I need to find a buck for my dear little Loni and Lili..

swift-whippet In reply to coukii [2008-01-31 03:06:51 +0000 UTC]
Hey, it's only natural that you'll feel for some boards more than others. I haven't yet found a board that I feel for as strongly as I do for MG, but well -- you've seen how attached I am to my characters. I think maybe species has something to do with it, the ones you are drawn to -- hyksis certainly are closer to horses than dogs and cats are! xD Though as you can tell I feel a lot for Ryvarda and my hyksi and fearaki characters as well, so I am excited as all getout for the board to open!~
AND AND. I've been RPing Darran and Nel on the Amitola board. Are they going to meet Marara at some point?

coukii In reply to swift-whippet [2008-01-31 03:14:36 +0000 UTC]
Yeah very true, very true. But I can't give up Isadelle at all! I'm very attached to Isadelle and her powerfull little personality.
Ah the Amitola's, I've been lightly talking about that with CricketWings, I think I may head over there sometime in the near future so I can get Marara out in all her youthful glory! Actually in the sketch book I have sitting next to me I have a picture I drew of Mar, Nel and Darran..but its quite tacky and the anatomy is a bit squ-iffy, and its got waaaay too many pine trees and purple mountains...

OMG RLY. well squ-iffy as the picture is, I'd still really like to see it. I didn't know you drew them, that makes me really happy!

happyafghan [2007-10-29 03:53:50 +0000 UTC]
Interesting creatures. I would make one but I can't draw deer/rabbits for beans. Meadowsweet is my favorite! I love her design. Like one of those spotted bunnies.

swift-whippet In reply to happyafghan [2007-10-29 04:38:49 +0000 UTC]
well, a character of one could be an excuse to try? making and developing new characters is always fun... and I find now that I have characters of other breeds I am trying harder to get those breeds right, and really appreciating the breeds more in the process. it's all about expanding the creative repertoire.
She was designed by *WhiskerWing as she is her character, and she was indeed modeled after one of those spotted bunnies!

Thank you! They're not deer though, they're Hyksis ;3 which are deer/rabbit/weasel hybrids. So their anatomy is very different from a true deer's :3

Thank you so much, I feel like this is a kick at my muse, I need to art more. School's ALMOST over, so maybe I'll find some time to do more.
They're all so gorgeous (And I still love Pothos) I especially love the sketch of their namesake plants in each. VERY <3

So I've answered this question about three times already but eh ^^ *copypastes*
Hyksis are these awesome deer/rabbit/weasel hybrids that *OpalSkye created she also created their rival species the Fearaki which are wolf/lynx/fox hybrids. I have characters of both species that are way back in my gallery but of course none of these guys here belong to me
More info on both species can be found at ~Ryvarda .

Dee has told me that she really wants to have a Ryvarda RP board at some point, which would be very awesome I agree. But unless everyone keeps up the Hyksi/Fearaki fever, that won't happen, so... WE MUST KEEP DRAWING THEM.
I've actually RPed my Hyksis with ~MAxKhaos 's before, and since our Hyksis are intertwined we've worked a bit on their stories too. I've also done some writing on my own on my character journal, if you want to read it it is here: [link] ^^
also. I AM BACK ON YOUR SIDE OF TEH WORLDZ YAY.
