A curious case. Sometimes you just want to practice, to draw… You begin, and suddenly it’s pouring out of you! I just couldn’t stop. In particular, because I was making this drawing from start to finish in Krita. I did lineart first, then decided to try penciling in lights and shadows, just to see how well I can do this in digital with great speed on Linux. In general, it turned out much better than I expected. You could say it turned out unexpectedly well!
Elyarr are a mixture of Ervinnes and Haar. Given that the Haar are my version of humans, there are certain conclusions to be drawn. Since Elyarr can’t transform into humans, their society is much more secretive than the society of Ervinnes, who are able to live in a foreign territory for years, wearing human guise. Deprived of such a possibility, the Elyarr have created their own code of secrecy and try not to drift too far from it. Never the less, their existence is well known, although shrouded in legend.
