Lol, what is happening? Not posting for months, and then posting to pictures in a row?

Well, this is an older drawing, and just as the last one, it is a fanart from a story that you can read on DA. I post it now because the author gave me the authorisation, but it is also fitting, somehow, to post these two fanarts in a row.

So, this time, it is a fanart from Onyxsoul, which is both the story and the mind world of Mister Raiberd, that I know some of you already read (right, Mister RAR? ) Onyxsoul is an epic fantasy story about dragons and humans trying to build up a utopia, as a safe haven in a cruel world. It has a Witcher feel, but is also stands out by the fact that it is mainly about building bonds between two races that didn't get along well for centuries. It is a both epic and sensible story, happening in a wondrous Vale, and told beautifully. Just like 'the Brownies of Velmoran', I can only recommend it:

So, here are the links :

The prologue: Onyxsoul - Prologue
A prophecy unfinished
A prophecy lost
A prophecy befallen
"Deep in the august cavern, we gaze upon the empyreal pool,
The time is nigh, the celestial constellation is upon.
Argent of the full moon and stars shine down through the cracks,
On pure of still water, reflect their radiance of scarce.
We, chosen few gathers around, flawless mirrors of silver in hand,
With them, from the pool, we trap the nightly heavens' brilliance.
To cast it back amplified, radiance upon radiance gleaming on the water,
For in this overlap of dazzling glare, there shines the future.
We see, we gaze, we augur from the visions of the light,
Foresee the future, and the futures, for many promises, there lie.
Display of endless possibilities before our eyes,
Offering us what is yet to come.
We foretell, but the cost of these prophecies are high,
This divine knowledge is not for mortal eyes and mind.
And we are already paying dearly the price,
This will be our greatest, but last

And for those who would like to know a little more about the story before diving in, you can findnot only one, but four summaries, by the words of the author himself, right here:

Onyxsoul - Summary One - History Hundreds of years before the beginning of the story Onyxsoul, three grand races shared this particular part of the world: the wise dragons, the graceful elves, and a group of people to whom history refers as the so called "First Men".
The First Men lived in highly developed societies, their cities were marvels of architecture: massive domes, vaults, pyramids made out of unknown gleaming materials, crowning their home. They enjoyed welfare, not fearing hunger or even illness. They knew not what the people of today craves for above else: gold, silver, - all of these were mere stones to them. For their most precious values were themselves and the constant seeking of higher wisdom, the never ending study for more knowledge. These humans also lived in eternal peace, following the philosophy of "live and let live", and thus sought the best out of everything and everybody, even the most aggressive beasts of the lands were not their enemies.

Now, as for the picture in itself, I won't say much about it to avoid huge spoilers I will only say that it is a drawing of Atherakhia, a young black dragon and main protagonist of Onyxsoul, in her human form. You might have seen her on my page already, right here:

And let's say, that the rest will remain a mystery

That's it for today, folks. I hope you are having a good time

Please take note that this drawing, just as Atherakhia and Onyxsoul belong to Raiberd. Don't steal, modify, or use for any purpose.
