Another Study/recreation But I Feel Very Proud Of This One For Capturing The Colors And Lighting

How the whole making manga thing is going

Fun Facts About Jira, my world building project #1

Jira is home to many intelligent species other than humans.

to date there are

Silfs - human like creatures with horns and fluffy hair who are always some variant of red & blue

Avians - Bird people

Ramlans - mountain species with tough hairs like wool and horns

Iora - stationary mushroom people

Ghosts - beings made of Artificial Magic

Merpeople - an overall term for a variety of sea born intelligent life

Crystalites - beings of sentient crystal

Halfling Crystalites - corpses controlled by parasitic sentient crystals, unrelated to the crystals of the Crystalites despite the name

Grotton - ape-like creatures who originate from the darkest parts of the Ridge

Hybrids - half animal people the result of wild magic sickness

Shifters - animals who can shift into a semi-human form

Many of these species overlap with humans due to the the grip human traits have on Jiran evolution and the fact that many species are evolved forms of humans for particular environments

My gfs new character design

Old Art Time!

This was the first piece I ever did in fire alpaca. I didn't have a tablet yet, so I was still using a mouse. This was my attempt to see if I could make what i usually did in MS Paint work in Fire Alpaca.

I liked the piece but didn't end up making the switch to fire alpaca until I had a drawing tablet. Partially because it took 3 times as long to draw and really hurt my wrist.

Some art I remember very well. This one... well, I remember my little brother asking me to make a Cruella De Vil pony... and then I did.

An experiment that once finished my gf dubbed Chadington

Ive been taking my art in a more manga / anime inspired direction lately so here I tried a lot of new techniques. This was my first time using screen tone and Action lines in a piece. The Japanese should say “Good Househusband”, I checked everywhere To make sure this was the right way to write it but I’m still learning so it may be incorrect. I’m also not sure if I over used the screen tone but I really like how it looks.

Overall the content of this piece was inspired by me finally taking a stab at cleaning my apartment lol. Sadly it isn’t as clean as the picture would suggest.(or as big 😅)

Forgive the watermark this is from my old deviant art.

This was one of my first pieces of digital art. It was made in ms paint and drawn with a mouse. I had been drawing ponies traditionally for a few years at this point. This was the first piece where Mare's design really stuck. this was their cannon design for quite a while. However I recently completely redesigned them.

Based on a conversation My gf and I had. Also this is her first appearance in the manga.

Fun Facts About Jira, my world building project #2

Jira can largely be classified as a Science Fantasy world but because of the scale of the Jira project it's more accurate to categorize the different eras of Jira into different genres. For now they are as follows:

Prehistory - Speculative Biology

Surface era - Medieval Fantasy

Dispace era - Underground Fantasy

Early Island era - Fantasy

Era of science - Steampunk

Modern Era - Modern Contemporary

Cyber era - Scifi 

Post Cyber era - Eco Scifi
