Description
This is a commissioned piece (posted with permission) of Rosalak, a Felaryan neko shaman, done by the very talented =wenart . He was easy to work with, quick with revisions, and very professional. Be sure to check out his gallery for some other great pieces.In this image, Rosalak has taken advantage of an existing nighttime storm. He manipulated conditions in order to increase the size and ferocity of the storm, turning it into a massive tempest. He is focusing all of the storm's considerable energy into a central vortex in order to summon forth a powerful lightning elemental, which he can then control to do his bidding.
Art by =wenart .
Felarya by =Karbo .
Everything else is my fault.
I've written one story with Rosalak: Galya's Portal Problems (three parts). Be aware, the story involves vore, so if you do not like such things, please do not read.
Rosalak is the elder shaman of a tribe of very powerful nekos, almost all of whom possess magical ability of varying degrees. They live in a treetop village in a forest at the base of Black Mountain, the hazy outline of which is just barely visible on the far horizon in this image. He does not often show his true power, but when he does, things can become … exciting.
Although he excels at nature magic, his skills encompass a variety of other magical disciplines. Rosalak is one of very few nekos in the Black Mountain tribe to have mastered all forms of elemental magic. He is responsible for teaching Galya, a giant fire naga who lives with the tribe, most of what she knows about fire and illusion magic.

Ah I see, You all have your own verse that all these myths take place in. Even if hes not a nord, as one I am still ok with throwing lightning at giants.

You are correct in that Rosalak isn't afraid of much. And he does like to show off every now and again.

Woah! That's a lot of power there, VERY impressive how much Rosalak can control- that thing would send a predator packing in seconds haha. That is one awesome design for the elemental.

Glad you enjoyed it! Overwhelming power was the general idea.
I guess Rosalak's motto would be: Speak softly and carry a big elemental.

Thank you! I can't take credit for the elemental's look, other than asking for it to be big and scary - the design is all *wenart 's work. It's definitely something that should give even a giant predator pause for consideration.

Indeed. *wenart outdid himself on the elemental. He also did a great job on Rosalak, giving him a native look with the clothing, as well as showing off his powerful magics with the lightning barrier and runes flowing from his hands. Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks! And I agree, *wenart did a stupendous job on the elemental. Beyond the fact that it's made of lightning, that thing just looks plain scary. Heh, "Shock and Awe" is exactly the idea Rosalak is aiming for here. He's a more inclined to scare things away than do actual harm, where possible.

Or, he could turn to using it for the greater good. And by that I mean practical jokes! Ah, the possibilities are too great to imagine

Maybe one day, but he's far too serious to think about practical jokes. Galya, on the other hand...

Wildthing115 In reply to timing2 [2009-11-01 00:06:09 +0000 UTC]
Yes. With Gayla though I'd fear for my life at the end of her practical jokes. I think it would be less "shoes untied" and more "your shoes on fire"

I really like the feeling of dynamism and power in the lightnings ^_^
I would like to use it in the wiki actually, if you are ok with it

timing2 In reply to Karbo [2009-10-31 15:48:21 +0000 UTC]
Thanks! The elemental is dangerously powerful - think about how much energy is unleashed in a single lightning strike. Now imagine how many times it happens during a really big thunderstorm. Now imagine all those lightning bolts harnessed into a single being that is given rudimentary form and intelligence. I certainly wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of it.
I'd be honored to see it in the wiki!

FS-the-voresmith [2009-10-31 07:32:36 +0000 UTC]
The style is quite unique, and very effective ; I like the way the lightning is rendered, against the tempestuous sky. Rosalak is one bold, confident neko!

Thanks! I was trying to get across the point that the storm was unnaturally powerful.
Rosalak has years and years of experience practicing his craft. When he does cut loose, like here, he does appear quite bold and confident (as an elder shaman should)!

Indeed. In the elemental's case, it strikes as many times as it takes to get the job done - whatever that job happens to be.
