Wallah, it's about time I got around to doing this.

Had a few real bad days this past week, so no commission work today.  Just personal work.

Anyway!


*The TL;DR:
-She's cute
-She's from space
-She crash-landed on Earth
-She's fluffy


Meet, Spirit, the Space Angel Dragon!  This gal has been buzzing around in my head for several weeks now, and I've been inspired after Anthrocon to try and get reference sheets done of a bunch of my characters.  I have quite a few I haven't done art of for over a year now. D:

So a little bit about Spirit...

Lived on a planet in a distant corner of the cosmos - the Bubble Nebula, to be exact.  Fled her tiny home planet from the expanding bubble of hot gas and fire from a maturing star in the heart of the nebula.  She fled last-minute, leaving her home and rest of her kind behind.  Swept off course by a galactic wind, she drifted aimlessly through the cosmic medium until she detected a jumble of radio and light signals coming from a band in a large spiral galaxy.  

Spirit headed in that direction, her large ears acting similarly to antenna, and found herself in orbit of a small blue-green planet.  She found companionship with the Black Knight, another large, stellar beast that drifted above the planet for millennia, until finally entering the planet's atmosphere in a ball of white light, her fur having properties to protect her from the intense friction of the upper edges of the atmosphere.  She aimed toward a curving coastline where she could see flickers of light, knowing that where there's activity, there must be civilization.  

Crash-landing in a warm inland sea, she quickly found out that the flickers of light were from the exchange of missiles, and she found herself in the middle of a regional conflict.  Spirit fled at near-mach speed to the hills, where she hid in a cave, hoping she would be able to leave during a stand-still between the fire.  She hid in seclusion for an unknown amount of time until half a dozen tall, two-legged aliens entered her cave, holding long, black metal objects toward her.  Shaking in fear, she could glean that they were speaking a language called Arabic, and they wanted her to follow them, having learned about the language and others from listening to the radio signals emitted from the planet.  Fearing for her life, she thought it best to follow them.  They led her out under the cover of nightfall through the desert to a meager encampment, where she was presented as a trespasser to a tall, slender dragon of golden scales and a protruding chin.

Oh Muzafr, you always have a way of capturing trespassers in your territory.

And that's Spirit's backstory.  Nah, she doesn't live with Muzafr.  Muzafr questions her as she does all other 'trespassers' and sends Spirit away with some of her militants to find a safe place for her to go.

Being an extraterrestrial, Spirit exhibits properties that most species on earth don't have - such as fur that retards intense heat, the ability to detect x-rays, see in the entire spectrum of light, run and fly at top speed, and more.

Ah yeah, and her make-up is similar to a neutron star.  If she drifts to close to strong x-rays, dark energy, or dark matter, she can absorb it and transform into 'Dark Energy form,' where she becomes extremely dense, her physical properties change, (at least those properties that are visible to our eyes,) and can willingly, (or sometimes unwillingly,) beam x-rays from her mouth.

Aaand, that's all for now.

If anyone wants to, yes, you may draw her. ^^  But if you do so or would like to do so, please let me know as I'd love to see it!  (Clean works only, min fadlak.)

If you read all this, put 'Nebula' in your comment.

Thanks for looking!

Thanks! But ah, Telephone is super cute! And besides, it's not a 'cute contest.' All characters are the cutest in their own ways.

Draithen In reply to ??? [2015-01-01 01:11:23 +0000 UTC]

Vivid colors and eye-catching shape, design! It feels good just to admire her
My only question is, if she is so resilient to tolerate open space, a crash landing, or the middle of a NEBULA, why was she afraid of some two legged primates with metal sticks?
Couldn't she just blitz away with her unmatched speed?
Oh, how much would I like to know more! More backstory, more happenings on Earth, and maybe after. Aren't you planning to write stories? You would have at least one reader for sure!
Also, happy new year!

TwilightSaint In reply to Draithen [2015-01-01 22:36:16 +0000 UTC]

Thanks a lot!

And great question!  Spirit and her kin on her planet are not confrontational in the slightest, spending most of their time 'foraging' off of cosmic dust and such to worry about politics and war and the like.  Due to the vastness of space, interactions with other beings were few and far between, and when her kind encountered those that meant to do them harm, it came as a huge shock to their population and their 'flight' instinct took over, so overwhelmed and confused were they.

So when Spirit found herself cornered by the militants, she essentially basically froze in shock, as she had never seen humans before.  They're lucky that they didn't trigger her Dark Energy form, as she could have collapsed the entire mountain!  But she could detect the energy they emitted and the vibrations from their body language, and she found out that way that they meant to do her no harm, but were aiming their rifles at her as a precautionary measure.  (Not that she could fully comprehend the use of a firearm.  She knew what they were from her listening to radio and television broadcasts while in orbit, but doesn't understand fully the implications.)

Now when Spirit meets Muzafr for the first time, that's a little different story. XD

I've been meaning to write so much...  Prior to OCS, I had twenty-something chapters of my Medieval story written, none of my sci-fi story, (aka my political science thesis,) and none of Muzafr's story.  I really do want to continue writing them, but alas, it's so difficult to find time these days to do it all.  I'm lucky that I can still do digital art!  But that's so great to hear, thank you!  It's definitely encouraging me to try and find the time to jot down some of these.

Happy New Year!

Brilliant. I'd love to know more Especially what you mentioned, her meeting with Muzafr. This is really intriguing. Is she even vulnerable to gunfire by the way?
I always enjoyed reading well written backstories of someone's characters. I also love stories about dragons. Now, imagine when it is a story about a dragon character!

TwilightSaint In reply to Draithen [2015-01-06 01:27:32 +0000 UTC]

Thanks!

As far as gunfire goes, she is susceptible to injury from that and basically the same things that can injure us.  Albeit, her physiology is different, i.e; she doesn't bleed, rather loses energy.  She can die if all of her energy is depleted.  With enough energy, such as from others of her kind, they can heal significant wounds, and minor wounds tend to heal over time, the energy and gravitational force emitted from her own matter 'knitting' her back together.  Wounds are counted as very significant when they cause gaping injuries or actually sever limbs

The thing that her kind is most vulnerable to is rogue energy bursts, such as gamma rays from black holes and solar flares from stars. ^^  Taking a direct hit from one of these, (or at least being dangerously close to them,) can actually nearly rend their molecules apart!  Basically disintegrating them.  Space wants us dead, I swear.

Hehe, how do I draw?  Short answer: years and years and years of hard work and continous practicing. XD

Could you be more specific as to what you're having trouble with?  Like are you using traditional or digital media and want some tips?  Or want to know more about character design/colouring/shading?  If you could narrow it down a bit, I sure could help you.  And thank you!

Last time I heard, you have to run your design by Ino to get it 'stamped' so it's official. There used to be an FA page, but it suddenly disappeared. There's supposed to be an FB group about them now that you could check out, though I myself have yet to see it since I don't use FB.

You can shop around either on here or more fur-oriented sites like FurAffinity for makers who take commissions.  You can narrow your search down to a few makers that have styles you like, good prices, or you think would do your character the most justice in fursuit form, and then just shoot them a note or an email!
