Some khait practice

Domestic khait form two main populations- western khait (domesticated by caelin people in prehistory on the western steppes for meat and as pack animals) and eastern khait (domesticated khait that gradually spread as pack animals and were then bred for human riding use in much more recent history, ~1500 years BP)

These are all eastern khait, which are mostly larger, physically stronger, and lack significant gene flow from wild khait populations. Eastern khait have been selected into a greater diversity of color/horn morphs and breeds, with few even remotely resembling their wild phenotype.

'Eastern' only refers to their relative directional origin, as these khait have spread to peoples across the entirety of the supercontinent, while purebred western khait are largely limited to their native steppe range. However, eastern khait require greater upkeep and have entirely lost their migratory instincts, and often fail to form breeding populations without the support of sophont caretakers. Feral populations are rare outside of the most stable and ideal conditions, and are outcompeted in their ancestral grasslands by their hardier progenitors.

Xoys of neighbooring cultures showing their casual and formal gear. Still figuring out how to go around with their bodies and markings.

Its common to xoy cultures to shave their fur and then paint the furless skin. Some do tattoos and keep a constant shaved look, or only shave to reveal the tattoos in specific circumstances.

Fragments and memories. My old personal artworks of Koties, fantasy felines, depicted in the surreal world. Some of these artworks are edited to make the anatomy a bit better and the colors more clean.

I'm trying to go back to my old art and give it a new life, editing some of them and trying to continue the stories of my old characters that I gave up on back then. To find a way out of my internal conflicts and fears associated with these artworks and creatures. To find a love for them that still lives in me. Each of these artworks was born in very deep feelings, and I tried to give these feelings to them again ~

New sophont coming soon

Terribly sorry for spamming with sophonts, but I just feel like I should first upload all of the stuff I’ve acumulated over the past few years building this project (which were mostly sophonts because Total Convergence..? is a lot different from what it started out as). This is a recent drawing of a male Nur’Errkhorr, a species I will talk more about later. The recent female design is from 2022, but this male design got finalized this afternoon. Wow!!!!

My silly fakémons Pickerpie & Snagpie! I had sm fun trying to recreate fake gifs inspired by the anime recently, I can't wait to do more :3
