Training sets for Riptide and Akki.

This has been in the works since about October or so last year. But it had a lot of emotional stuff attached to it etc and so it took me a long time to be able to find the guts to work on it (and this

Stage 1 - Baby Steps

Draw your Reosean as a baby, discovering the world for the first time.

Akki has always been a stubborn little kid who knows what she wants and no elder can tell her not to wander off. Riptide has a massive chip on his shoulder regarding who his mysterious father is. His mother had always been vague about his origins, but he had heard whispers of some kind of spirit. And so like the blockhead he is, he set out to try and find his father. Followed by an annoyingly curious Akki exploring the unfamiliar, dangerous and wild world around him. Akki spends most of it telling Riptide off for venturing out into unknown parts of the world (which you know... she totally wasn't doing before meeting Rip). She also speaks of the mystery of spirit said to haunt the area, one who can bring down sudden storms and blizzards. Rip is only half listening, but some part of him is telling him that there is something unusual in the air, and that he senses a storm coming.

Stage 2 - Coordination

Dealing with sudden danger on their own for the first time, show a moment where your Reosean had to overcome environmental hazards in their homeland. Maybe they avoid natural risks like deep snow, or lack of water. Maybe it's another Reosean or human hunters.

Sometimes Reoseans find themselves in precarious circumstances and must be nimble to get out of it; depict your Reosean getting out of a tight bind, whether it’s attempting to cross a high up narrow path, sneak past watchful eyes, or something else.

Getting further into the harsh land presents its dangers, including large icy chasms. Akki, who at least is used to snow takes the lead, however precarious it may be. Arrogant as ever, Rip tries to go on his own, but is quickly overcome by how deep the fall is. Finally putting some trust in his new friend, he manages to get through the path by trusting Akki to guide his feet while he worked hard to forget how long that fall was. Also the skies grow steadily darker.

Stage 3 - Steadfast

Draw your Reosean hunting or carrying back a small prey animal. Reference the list linked above when choosing prey! Each Reosean will need its own prey animal if you're choosing this option.

As the journey wears on, and the mysterious winds start to sound as they there are howling and whispering, the two pups decide to get some food. A Flounder and Snow Crab server their purpose. Riptide's agonized screams drowned out even the ever more ominous wind. The skies however grew darker, and a strange, deathly chill began to infuse the air.
