Description 7/31/11 Akia is part of the Keystones story line once again. <3

1/6/11 Akia is no longer a character in Keystones due to a story change!

Hmm, what's this? A character that's not a feline? That's almost unheard of coming from me.

But yus, this is Akia, as her ref says. xD She's the 3rd of the four main characters on the 'good' side. She was originally a snow leopard, but I'm wanting species diversity in Keystones, so she's been changed to a gray wolf.

Akia is a sweet natured, down to earth female that often finds herself keeping Denahi out of trouble and encouraging Dimeyi to take the right path. Like the other two, her Keystone mark only glows when she uses her powers, which will be explained more in the comic.

>3 One more ref for the good, then the 'not so nice' chars can show up. xD

I doubt I'll ever use her again, so if you'd wanna buy her just name your price. The only thing I'd like you to take away would be the glowing mark thing since it's specific to my comic. c:

KaiserTiger In reply to ZombieKitties [2012-06-15 05:32:53 +0000 UTC]

Haha, no problem!

Hmm...would you want to do a character trade for her instead? I know you're probably busy so I'd trade Akia for a char you maybe haven't drawn. I'm really looking for larko designs for a mini project I'm working on though. <3

If not, then just let me know what you'd be willing to paid for her. ^^

KaiserTiger In reply to Diznits [2010-10-11 16:32:44 +0000 UTC]

I had that same thought too. I think it's where she's a gray character with blue eyes but her personality is a bit like Bluestar's too.

wow you are amazing at wolves (like i said before on kasa's ref) you should definately draw them more often i love this character she looks soo pretty and calm i love her eyes i don't think i ever put the eye whites as a lighter colour than the eye colour :/ but i think you amde it look really nice so i might try it i also love how her colour changes when she gets older becasue being honest that is what real animals are like they don't stay the same colour they tend to change so it makes her look more natural and that marking under her eyes is just simply BEAUTIFUL! (dunno how a marking can be beautfil but it just is) it is a really nice feature to her that makes her different to other gray wolves (if you notice most people's gray wolves are really similar becasue they keep them with simple colours and no markings whihch makes them plain and similar to others :/ and i love the break in the lien on her back it reminds me of my snake as it has a break in one of it's stripes

hehe can't wait to see the bad guys ^^ for some reason i always love to see the villians more than the heroes :/ lol but i still love seeing the heroes too with the villians i love how all villians have different personalities and key features where on most films liek superman, batman , spiderman they are all similar with different powers, they are all normal men who wear a costume who all want to destroy the bad guys :/ but the villians they are always different they have different schemes, they are after different things etc. yeah so i don't think that big paragraph even makes sense but i don't care lol (it feels like i am at school writing something against heroes and for villians lol)

In conclusion Villians are more unique ^^

btw i am working on your picture of dimeyi but the line-art seems to be taking forever my lines keep going all crooked and jagedy :/ i guess thats probably becasue i aren't used to using it :/ i find it difficult to get them the right way and neat :/ but hopefully i can get it done wihtout getting too stressed out at it and giving up i tend to do that sometimes i gotta try and keep my patience with it :/ the colour probably wont take as long but then a background will

oh and what exactly is the keystone is it some sort of rock thing :/ or an object? if it is i have a great way of adding it to my picture where i am quite stuck of what to put there if not ill have to do something else :/ thankyou

OMG look at the size of that comment! man thats the longest comment i ahev EVER written! i hope you don't mind that :s

KaiserTiger In reply to Tafuta [2010-10-03 18:05:29 +0000 UTC]

Long comment is looong!

But yup, I'm starting to get the hang of wolves and their anatomy. I never realized how much I'd make canines look like my felines until I actually started doing a little research and photo referencing. ;3 I'm trying to make my characters more natural too, so Akia's colors changing as she got older was a must. Actually, all the chars in Keystones change colors slightly, but you can see that best in Akia. That marking under her eye was a last minute addition too. xD

It may take me a bit to finish refs for the bad guy since I don't have them as finalized as I did the heroes, but they'll be along soon. The bad guys in my story are mostly all working towards the same goal cause they're all part of the same group, but they'll all have quite different personalities from each other, so they'll be interesting. xD

^^ That's okay. Like I said before, take as long as you like. Gift art doesn't need to be rushed. ;3

Well, the technical definition of a keystone is 'something on which associated things depend'. In my comic, Dimeyi, Denahi, Akia, and another char named Enreiki are all like guardians of the animal kingdom so they're called "The Earth's Keystones" or just 'Keystones' for short.

Tafuta In reply to KaiserTiger [2010-10-03 18:13:37 +0000 UTC]

hehe yeha it was really long

I didn't draw alot of canine stuff until i cam onto DA where it is actually allowed i had to use refs too becasue i had gotten so used to feline anatomy i would have made it look too much like a feline if i did it off my head hehe sometimes last miute additions make a picture much better such as last minute shading to an area could make the picture more effective

thats ok ^^ it is sometimes really difficult to have characers finalized when you want your characers to look nothing like eachother but still look natural and normal (damn i am babbling here i am gonna stop now before it gets as long as the last one)

Thankyou

And sounds awesome
