Stormbringer

Apeldille's picture






Stormbringer says hello!
He is a part of Ephiré -- a creature-entity-something he shifts into at times, usually not in the forest (Stormbringer is very big and trees and large wings does not agree).

Stormbringer's purpose and being is something of a mystery yet for me, but it would be very nice to do something with the idea since I'm quite fond of it.
It would be interesting to play him in-forest but I'm not sure how it would work... I'm thinking that Eph just changes to the dotd pelt (the ribcage could with some imagination resemble wings), but it's up to you if you want your deer to see him as this creature or not.

Thoughts or opinions on this?

I love Stormbringer! I think

I love Stormbringer! I think it would be awesome to see you bring this idea to life. I'd love to see and learn more about him as he develops!
I think the DotD pelt is practical to interpret him into the forest. ^^

This picture is gorgeous, I love how magnificent he looks!

Thank you both! I hope it

Thank you both! I hope it will work -- it probably wouldn't if Eph was a character with violent tendencies since this kind of thing would be crazy unfair in a fight -- but one never knows. I'll try and see how it goes.

I really love this idea, and

I really love this idea, and the design is just wonderful.
I actually have a tengu-based character, and he can kinda shift to a more avian form. Sometimes I fear it might be a little odd for other characters perceiving one of mine as something other than just a basic deer, but imagination is a wonderful tool for this game, and when people don't mind their characters playing along, it's interesting having them interact. I think you should definitely give it a shot -- it'd be great to have another big burd-durr in the forest. c:

Aha, so that's why Eph is all

Aha, so that's why Eph is all the way up here...

This is beautiful. A lot of the time when I see bird x deer/horse/whatever, the proportions are never quite right; the head and wings are usually too small in order to "fit" with the body. But I like that you've gone about it the other way around and have made the body fit the bird anatomy. If you place your hand to cover up the legs, he is simply a Raven (:

Eph can already shift into a Raven, right? In my mind - especially with the expression Stormbringer has here - it's like his transformation lacked a little juice and only half-did the job *giggle*

liviasyran: Thank you! Yes,

liviasyran: Thank you! Yes, imagination is certainly something that is needed with this one, since a tef deer looks very little like this, hehe. Also bird-durr highfive!

Iaurdagnire: Haha yup! The ruins and the rocks at the Playground is probably the few places where Stormbringer could sit. He wouldn't fit in a tree.
Mm, yes. These wings are probably too small too, but I blame magic since otherwise the picture would've been just wings.

Yes, he can. I haven't thought about that but now that you mention it, it actually does, haha!

I love his design! Very well

I love his design! Very well rendered too. And crows/ravens have so many things that they could be. Many different cultures with different raven mythos. Hope to see more Stormbringer art!

Ohjeez. He would become my

Ohjeez.
He would become my dear Tandem's new favorite perch. Being a crow himself, he's a total sucker for any birddeer he comes across, especially those who resemble crows. Silly birdface.<33

But gaah, that is so gorgeous. I love the face, the wings, everything. <3

Sightnoundlady: Thank you!

Sightnoundlady: Thank you! Yes, raven/crow mythos' are really interesting I think. And they're wonderful birds too.

Kirness: I don't think he would mind, haha. Thank you!

Nopje: Aw, thanks!

moonsoverwater: That's what I aimed for! :D thank you.

Kaitlyn: Not sure if he would appreciate that, but yeah, I want to do that too.

Auxentius: I'm kind of jealous of them too. They're a bit of hassle in dense forest though. Thank you!

Of course I am interested to see what you do with this.

I don't strive to be the best, but instead I strive to do my best, and always give it my all every time.
