Finally finished- school was making this very hard to do. Press space or tap/click to see a close-up of the character, the day version which I made since I couldn’t decide which one to do, and a quick sketch of the species. This was super fun to draw. STORY Kumurika is a young Kleurgeit living in Kleurveld. Her name means “light up” in Kinyarwanda. Kleurgeits are medium goats with wings, and paws on their front legs. They can help spread glowseeds when wind is weak. The most powerful and caring of them are the guardians of the land. While she was wandering around by the Lake of Light, she found a small glowing flower. She decided to look at it for a bit. BIO Name: Kumurika Gender/Pronouns: She/her Species: Kleurgeit Likes: Flowers, lights, glowseeds, and playing tag with other Kleurgeits Dislikes: Dark caves, spiders, and when others are sad Personality: Very optimistic and kind, she can see good in everyone (except spiders) and will always give people a second chance, but it’s not always a good idea for her to do that. She’s very playful and loves being with other Kleurgeits. She is very quick, sometimes TOO quick, to trust others. Some stuff about the background: I wanted to add a bit of story in the background. The broken ruins used to be buildings of ancient civilizations, but most have been buried, destroyed, or taken over by nature. The lake Kumurika is at is the Lake of Light. The huge tree is where the glowing flowers come from. The seeds are blown off of the tree and spread across the land where they grow into the flowers. At the time this is, it’s very rare for one to fall off and grow, but Kumurika managed to find one. FUN FACTS - I couldn’t see the design being any obvious creature. So I was originally gonna make her a mix between a bilby and a pika but I didn’t like that. So I made her a goat creature, because of the hooves and horns. I hope I didn’t change the design too much. - The background was originally a lot closer to Starlight Strand from Slime Rancher 2 but I thought it was too similar. - The drawing has over 40 layers did I really just make a whole species and area with lore for a dta? lol 9/18/2023: yes i did and i will expand on it because i like it too much, more art coming not soon 11/23/2023: maybe
