[2/2] BONUS ARTWORK
Mostly just featuring Kharune alongside Khimore. They had a closer relationship that was severely strained due to their family (esp. their mother's) pressure and favoritism, but they do eventually rebuild that closeness away from her influence || #OC_tober
[1/2] MAIN DESIGN (Hellhound Gijinka -- Mythical Verse)
Like his sister, Kharune's based on hellhounds and "black dogs." I never quite got to this aspect of his shadows, but their "natures" were based on the 4 humors — sanguine, melancholic, choleric, and phlegmatic || #OC_tober
[1/2] MAIN DESIGN (Leviathan Gijinka -- Mythical Verse)
Mehndi's features were loosely based on the Gray Reef Shark, but most of her design was experimental and playing around. I may revisit her color scheme to better suit her namesake, but I'll give it more thought || #OC_tober
[3/3] BONUS ARTWORK
Just gonna casually-- /share the same good heartbreaking DzhoZelda art while I'm at it. For what it's worth, their status depends on the context; in some verses/AUs they’re together, in others they remain separated || #OC_tober
[2/3] ALTERNATE DESIGNS -- Zelda's other designs include, but are not limited to:
- Egyptian Queen (past Egyptian AU)
- Sphinx deity (DEITIES Verse)
- Angel (Contract AU)

[1/3] MAIN DESIGN (Chimera Gijinka -- Mythical Verse)
Zelda's gijinka design didn't give me nearly as much difficulty as Dzho's, but it has changed a lot since its initial concept -- mostly with her horns and snake tail, and small parts of her color scheme || #OC_tober
[3/3] BONUS ARTWORK
More art with the range of interactions Dzho has w/ others from mythical verse -- the immediate rift between him and his son; the past connection he had with Haiku (hi hello @jinkztweets); and his previous, perhaps only love, Zelda (Zuro's mom) || #OC_tober
[2/3] ALTERNATE DESIGNS
In contrast with his gijinka form, Dzhokar's feral dragon form came a bit easier and remains a favorite... esp. for commissions >> He was also in a brief Egyptian AU (which preceded DEITIES, tbf) as a pharaoh || #OC_tober
[1/3] MAIN DESIGN (Dragon Gijinka -- Mythical Verse)
It took a bit before I could nail down Dzhokar's gijinka design, since I was working "backwards" from Zuro's. I knew I wanted them both to share green eyes, but the rest was me indulging in dragon features I liked || #OC_tober
[2/2] ALTERNATE DESIGNS + BONUS ARTWORK
Nigel wasn't always a pokemon, his original design was a griffin that was heavily based on a rooster, and completely differed in color scheme. Sometime it'll be nice to revisit his feral design, since it was one of my favorites | #OC_tober
