Description
Hey, it's OC time! I've got two more finished pictures, but we'll see if I get done with putting them up and writing the hideously long descriptions that go with before I have to leave for Michigan tomorrow. I hate writing but also hate leaving things out.And damn, I've got a ton of watchers now! I'll try not to disappoint.
And I think I owe a drawing to both =ed-spike-link and *Dostor for featuring my stuff once or twice...If either of you have a preference to what you want, comment or note.
So these two are Taborineas (the seraphim fellow that's being used as an armrest) and Vicanta (the tall dragonish guy). They're fairly minor characters in this little story I've got going, but I've managed to scrape together a little bit of background on each of them.
Taborineas and Vicanta are two students at the University of Dragonback City (for more on Dragonback City click the link and read the description. Don't bother with the picture.) Taborineas is working on a degree in philosophy, and Vicanta on one in science with a focus on Eaeonic evolutionary theory (the basis of which is kinda touched on in the description here ).
Taborineas, in stark contrast to Vicanta, comes off as a rather quiet, demure sort of guy. He likes books, and works in the Grand Library in the city, which pays for the rent but not much else. And btw, he's not old, his feathers are naturally silver.
Vicanta appears as a bit of a snotty rich boy, and is quite the ladies' man. Unlike most snotty rich boys, however, he earns his own money with a job working in the pipe system of Dragonback. The job is one with few suitable employees, as it involves being submerged in scalding hot water for hours at a time, scraping hard-water buildups off the inside of the pipes, and it pays quite well. This job has also inspired countless pickup lines for Vicanta's disposal. The bright markings on his body can fluoresce at will, and he is a very good swimmer. The tendrils on the back of his head and neck serve as feelers and help him navigate in cloudy water.
Vicanta is part of a species that I'm still working on, so I'll skip the long rant on how their species works...for now.
They seem like the least likely of friends, but Vicanta helps timid Taborineas have a social life, and Taborineas' book learnin' often helps Vicanta understand his homework. Each has their own view on the world, and often get in heated-though-scholarly debates on everything and anything.
Holy shit, that got long. If you read all of this, put a * somewhere in your comment. If you don't, I don't blame you.
Vicanta and Taborineas are mine. No stealing plz.

* I really love the look on Vicanta's face! Someones very pleased with his tallness!
Anyways, I love the wings on Vicanta, they are VERY hand-like. And Taborineas feet look so fuzzy, and huggable (hugs). Ha I make the same face when my tall friends do the same thing, or my shorter ones when I sit down. They really are an odd pair of friends, but that isn't a bad thing, they help each other.
Very cute characters, love them both. I hope to see more of em

Thanks! These two kinda remind me of Calvin and Hobbes...At least where height is concerned.

* man I LOVE reading backstories, and this one was kinda cute CB Vicanta just looks so...cool! and I wouldn't mind having his job if I was the same kind of creature, sounds like taking an extended heated bath CB
mmmmmm, bath
anyways: whoah! you think you owe us drawings? :0 well, I won't say no to a gift coming from one of my favourite painters ^^ thanks so much <3
honestly, I don't know what my preferences would be. I'd feel like an ass to ask for Orion, since there's already so many pics of him, but ofc you can draw him if you want ^^ otherwise, you could draw Kerenas if you'd like <3 thanks so much for the thought

draconicaeaeon In reply to Dostor [2009-07-14 01:11:12 +0000 UTC]
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoy reading them!
And of course! I certainly owe you something for that feature a while back and that badass picture of Taxi you drew.
Hmmm...Orion or Kerenas...I think I'll go with Kerenas. He needs more lurve.

no problem ^^
C:
oh yes he certainly needs more lurve ;; besides being drawn seldom, his existence in itself isn't the merriest one
thanks for the care <3

******************************************!!!!
*points* Yes, I read it, and it's a very cute backstory. : D
And I love their expressions. x3
As for a drawing? *shrugs* Tellur was so awesome the first time, I'd love to see her again.
[She's actually my wallpaper, I just haven't changed the wallpaper on dA ;D]

Thanks! And Tellur will give me something to work on on the long drive to Michigan tomarrow.
And I like your new(?) signature. My computer can be a real ass sometimes. I've got both Norton and Onecare antivirus software on my computer, and everytime I get hit with some malware they fight each other.
...
Thanks Onecare. I'm really glad I paid you money to extend my subscription. *headdesk*

*wiggles* Oh, sweetness, I can't wait to see her. [You made her so epic. O:<]
LOL, ohmai.
I have a different type, it's called ZoneAlarm or something like that. It'll let you know when something's trying to connect to the internet and such.
I'm not sure if it's available, this XP was modified, and has like...two harddrives and shet.
D: I hope someone waves a white flag in those battles!

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!
And it's alright, I don't blame you if you didn't read it first. It's kind of long.

Okay. I'm back again... Gee... The background of the two characters reminds me on few in my own fantasy-story I'm working on... They are also students, but on the university of Shabesh Hall - That's where I'm studying now XD Only swapped some letters... However - Cool story! Keep up your great work!
