Description Gosh, it's been a while, but i finally drew a new Laephyn myself!
(Original - [link] )

Laephyns are fey folk that are part plant, and part amphibious, but they also have another special ability -

Swim-Flying:

- They close their eyes, concentrate, and shift partially into another vibrational frequency so that it the air feels as thick as water to them.

- The feelers, leaves and fins, and some of the nerves in their toes and soles act as special sensors that transmit three-dimensional data to their brains that give them a type of vision that is much more accurate and aware than human sight.

- They flutter their arms and tails "above" their heads for propulsion, aiming their flight-path with their legs and hind-leaves.
(In essence, they fly kinda like an up-turned Powdered Toast Man - feet first!)


___________________________________________

The universe is made up of nothing more than different vibrational fields (everything, matter and energy both). Just think of it as stations on a radio - our brains (and all our senses) are tuned to specific frequencies, and can only see a tiny fraction of the universe around us. Only one set of radio stations are available to our senses - which is why we can't just hear radio stations in our heads constantly - even though they are constantly there, around us, running through our bodies as we do anything, or go anywhere - our senses just aren't tuned to their frequencies, or dimensions.
So, based upon this scientific fact, Laephyns have the ability to change their "radio-dials" to another vibrational frequency in order to fly like mentioned above!.

It's fun coming up with scientific explanations for "magical" happenings. Makes it so much more interesting, and more magical, to me!
(unless they involve midiclorians...)

Oh, and i realize this is very similar to my Dryad Wind drawing, but i totally didn't have it in mind when this idea popped in there.

Thank you very much! And I guess it was a lot of text to read, but it explains why she closes her eyes - the feelers and leaves on her legs can sense her surroundings, giving her an awareness that is much more accurate than human eyes can see. It's based mostly on the idea proposed by David Icke that everything is just different vibrational frequencies. She can shift partly into another frequency so that the air is as thick as water, and so that her feelers and leaves can see better.

I see Good explanation! You are a visual person, so you should know that sometimes people, like myself (teehee) tend to skip reading a big long explanation. Great explanation though... and now that I know, it makes much more sence... in fact, I think it is rather cool. There were certain roads that I would bike down, and close my eyes. I don't know if that was such a good thing, but it is neat to think that we would have that much awareness, minus one of our senses... and I know that we could do it, but people get too used to what they have, and heaven forbid, it get taken away. David Icke is the shit... I havn't read anything by him in a long time though..

I should try to locate David Icke's books again. If you have a movie downloading tool, you should download his Matrix video - it's just him talking on a big stage at some university with huge slide show projections behind him, and it's very good. He touches on all the points. But who knows, you may have read all of what he's had to say already, hehe.
I've already bought Richard Dawkins' book "The God Delusion". It is very good.
After i wrote my thing about the Laephyn, and after you wrote this response i got to the end of the book where he was describing just that - the different ways different animals are given different narrow perspectives of the world to survive in it - how a bat's echo shrieks might be how the bat "sees" colour - maybe they process red in their brains as the echo of a rough surface, for example, and how dogs may smell in colour and all that. It was cool to read it then, too since i was like, "Hey, that's the kinda thing the Laephyn does!!"

cutesy tootsie... i love how you draw the blush on her toes, hands and tails. ^.^

speakin' of tails... i'm afraid to ink my drawing 'cause i can't draw the tails right. WHY ARE TAILS SO HARD TO DRAW?!

...do a tutorial? ^.^

LimeGreenSquid In reply to MacabreMoe [2008-05-06 12:32:37 +0000 UTC]

Why thank you, hehe. What fun are toes without a little blushing, right? Right!
Yah, tails are pretty awkward - especially when i complicate them up like the Laephyn's, haha. The trouble i have is just when the lines are drawn and squiggling back and forth around each other, making sure i am colouring he tail, and not the air!

MacabreMoe In reply to LimeGreenSquid [2008-05-06 14:26:58 +0000 UTC]

that happens to me when i'm inking... i draw the lines way too dark so when i erase, they get a little confusing...

BUT, the laephyn drawing is coming along beautifully! i just need to ink the background and i'm done. i'll upload it and then MAAAAAYBE color it on the compy... my bud Katie said she'd let me borrow her tablet so's i can make the pretties ^.^

As for magic explained scientifically, you probably know Ol' Clarke's Third: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." I think that goes not just for technology, but any phenomenon. With my ex-girlfriend we developed an elaborate biological theory for vampirism back then (I still know the outlines; actually, I used them for trying to explain midichlorians).

BTW, I view the senses-and-world-relantionships the same way as you wrote. Awesome

Oh, and the drawing is also cool The first person to make me wanna have sex with a plant since Farscape!

Farscape is an old TV series about a runaway prison spaceship, with one wicked plant girl, the bright-blue-hued Zhaan, who is also a priest. There are other interesting characters, such as the ex-guard Aeryn, who can't sweat but is otherwise human; a 20th-century human pilot guy, a big alien warrior with a cool sword, a goth-looking thief girl and a little, squeaking alien who's a king. Remember now?

Our vampire theory is based on a nifty little microorganism which feeds on hemoglobin, but produces "leftover" chemicals which increase strength and regeneration ability, and at the second stage of infection, reengineers your DNA a little, giving you retractable, sharp teeth and claws, and altering your metabolism so you can't live without the little symbiotes anymore. Oh, and the microorganism species is highly allergic to sunlight, because on the planet it originates from, there is no UV radiation - at all, like, say, if our ozone layer was 20 times thicker. Pretty simple as it sounds, though my ex-gf has very detailed descriptions with illustrations and molecules and everything somewhere in her dorm room Well, we just wanted to explain vampires scientifically, leaving the mythical things out of question. Doctors and sci-fi fans are just like that
