Mirrorlands - Blog Posts

Inktober Day 11- The Vampire Clans wander as nomads in the plains, trading with each other and the rest of the Cities. Though they have the option of sending their children to Council City to learn, they mostly educate within the clans. The Vampire Clans have their own jurisdiction outside of the rule of the United Cities

Inktober Day 10- It's said that Nagolium has quite the fortune- whether it is in jewels or literature, no one can say~

Inktober Day nine: When he was younger, Hayden was a lot more of a troublemaker, especially with his friend group lol, think your classic Jock dude

Inktober Day Eight! As a person who loves video games and challenges, Ethan is a master at claw machines- particularly when it involves a prize that's great to pose in pictures

Inktober Day 7: Even dripping wet, a Tophani can still conjure a flame lol

Annalise is not a fan of having a bucket of water dumped on her

Inktober Day Six- Dragonites are beings in the Mirrorlands that are able to shapeshift from a bipedal form to a quadruped 'Dragon' form. The Quad form is about the same mass as their biped form and their skin markings and horns remain consistent between the two forms - In order to balance those two forms, Dragonites wear a metal called Scalite- the amount of metal needed to balance themselves can be calculated based on weight and height/length If a dragonite doesn't wear Scalite, they become 'unbalanced' and lose their sense of self

Scalite artifacts like breastplates, earrings, and jewelry are often passed from generation to generation in Dragonite (and Kaiyaoto City) culture~

Here are all of the modern City Leaders of the Mirrorlands (Excluding the Vampire Clan Leaders- I'll post them later)

There are eleven major species in the Mirrorlands, not including hybrids. However, sometimes there are exceptions.

Rarely, there are some born with what's called 'Leader Blood'. Entirely at random, a child with Leader Blood will be born. They'll look differently, grow to a larger size, and live for a longer time than their usual life expectancy for their original species.

Though City Leaders don't always have Leader Blood, the majority of them do since the increased lifespan helps them get more accomplished during their leadership.

Most of the City Leaders I based off of actual mythological creatures, which I put my own spin on. My intent is not to be accurate to their original legends, though I draw inspiration from them!

For example, Ko'zen is based off of a chimera and technically has three personalities; Maelstrom is a Kraken, and Daedalus is a sasquatch.

Leader Blood can also result in the sitani looking like their normal species, but taller and with a longer lifespan. An example is Serena, a Giant River Siren, and Severus, who is a giant Sand Shifter.

Inktober Day Five! Who needs a map to the college when your new roommate's been on the college tour!

Damien is such a ray of sunshine lol

Inktober Day Three: Hundreds of years of experience makes dodging attacks light work

Hayden is another one of those characters I look forward to introducing lol

Inktober Day Three: Annalise takes the same path to work every morning, in Star City, conveniently taking her past her favorite source of caffeine

I plan on posting more about Star City in the future! For now here's a sorta sneak peek lol

Inktober Day Two: Being startled by a spider in the corner of the room isn't a problem when you don't have eyes!

Inktober Day One: He's dreaming of a day when the footsteps don't sound angry and tones don't mean danger

These are reference sheets for Ethan and Annalise I made for myself

even though it's just a bunch of sketches thrown together on one canvas it kinda gives you a good idea of the vibes for these two lol

Annalise is a kinda serious old cop lady who takes her job pretty seriously whereas Ethan's just a college kid that's a bundle of anxiety (for reasons I won't say yet lol)

Hello everyone!

This is a context post for an original thing I'm working on called the Mirrorlands; I hope to make it a comic someday but for now I just draw and post about the characters and worldbuilding when it's available!

The two main characters are Ethan and Annalise, but there are a lot more that are part of the cast aside from them- maybe eventually I'll open my ask box for questions for them

Anywho, hope y'all like it~ I'm going to be adding more Mirrorlands content soon enough
