Description

The other day I started making these just as a way to have some nice, easy, peaceful drawing time with myself (something I have been sorely lacking AND needing lately, ack. ) These were surprisingly relaxing to work on, and in the end I really liked them, so I put them in a nice spiffy display so you lot could see them too.


Now, ABOUT them. These represent THE elemental set of my childhood/growing-up. I mean, I've done other elemental sets , but THESE and I go waaaaaaay back! (I seem to be really going with that thing that the little birdie told me about nourishing my nostalgia... first Link and Spyro fan-art, and now a more intrapersonal nostalgia, hah. ) Honestly, the word 'element' is a bit loose for them... for they aren't based purely on substances, but more the various behaviors of substances (hence why many may seem redundant). But it's much easier to just call them Elements rather than 'Behaviors of Substances Found in Nature'. (Also they weren't always named in Latin, but they have been at least since I was in middle school... because why not, and it sounds cool. xD )


This elemental set has an entire story world that revolves around it... various cultures are based on one or more of these elements, regions are shaped by them, creatures are influenced by them, spirits and demi-spirits are associated with them, there are magical artifacts that react to them, etc, etc.


Oh, LOOK! How much related stuff I have up here already! Under several of these drawings I mention how OLD their contents are... rather like this elemental set! It's almost like they all came about around the same time!

You're actually quite accurate, at least mostly! And you seem to know some Latin too (you just misspelled 'Niveus', 'Fulgur', and 'Harena', hehe ). That's some great guessing! ^_^

I like them a lot, they're beautiful, and very original too, such nice designs. Very interesting elements, clever way to represent each one on them.

Thanks! Sorry if their exact identities are not very clear; perhaps I'll share more about this story-world in the future. It's quite big and involved by now, ha.
