Description Yeah, he's pretty old.

You have to remember that mythologicals usually live much longer than the common crowd in this furry AU earth, I've got some fantastic beasts living for up to 1,000 years. At some point I'll rub two brain cells together and come up with a proper name to replace "furry AU earth"... oh! Hey, what about Terra Furra? Get it? It's like Terra Firma, only-- what? Don't roll your eyes, come on, that was clever! D:

Anyway, I gave it some thought and came to the realization that Xalvador might be even older than Klaus. That sounds impressive, but wait'll I tell you that Klaus, child of the late 19th century (that's 1800s for those not in the know) technically isn't even middle-aged yet by gryphon standards. He will be very soon, but not yet. He's about 39 in gryphon years, he just looks older because he's had a hard life. I could be wrong, but I get the impression (because that's how it is with OCs, you don't so much create them as you "talk" to them and gradually get to know them) Xalvador's life was comparatively easy, whether because he was luckier in avoiding hardships or better at coping with them (Klaus is the anxious, obsessive type) but he and Klaus look the same age so he must be older, either that or he's spent one too many a late night partying and drinking heavily, which is also highly probable.

That explains the hardcore environmentalism, imagine if you'd been around to experience a more-or-less untouched rainforest and were now witnessing it's death throes.

Oh boy he looks so innocent. No, really. A smol griffon-macaw wearing some classy suit while looking over his caterpillar friend. I can't help it but my heart is melting.
Fact that this photograph would at least be 100 years old makes it look even cuter. A smol-griffon macaw from the 19TH CENTURY.

I absolutely love the effects on this and how it looks like a really old photo! Xalvador makes for one really stinkin' cute kid!

Also I won't lie, I DO like the sound of Terra Furra!

Great work, really reminded the old portraits of Brazilian families in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, when the young children of farmers lived in the cities with all the pomp. But only Xalvador must have had the pleasure of having a pet caterpillar...

How old is Xalvador? judging from the outfit he is wearing, i would guess he probably witnessed Β the proclamation of the Republic, at very least..Β

Through the clothes, the houses in the background, he must have been in the entourage of Dom Pedro I when the cry of Ipiranga (symbolic gesture of the proclamation of Brazil's independence).

Truly awesome, both colored and sepia !

But too bad that in the sepia version, some details are not visible anymore, like the tree. If you want, I have a technique to create contrasts in sepia or black and white pictures in an old way
