Three little Kazim sticker designs.

I've had a blast figuring out how to chibify horses, without tapping into MLP:FiM too much. (Those are a great stylisation of horses, with a utilitarian approach for an easier animation pipeline, but they're not something I wanted to mimic.) I might still need some refining here and there, but for an early-ish attempt I like them!

Kazim is a Sentinel, the physical manifestation of a world's soul. Usually, they can change shapes, mimic the creatures that call the world their home. Both to blend in and just for fun, or whatever they need at any given moment. Mortals aren't really their concern most of the time anyway. They just die too quickly for somebody, who's been around since the dawn of time (well, whenever the world came into being). But sometimes a mortal gets close still.


Due to some decision they made about two millenia ago, which recently-ish came back to haunt them, they're currently stuck in a horse body. And they're not happy about their freedoms curtailed and powers diminished. Least of all, they're mourning the loss of their daughter.


I only recently arrived at the word "Sentinel" for them and Kyu. It feels more ancient-y than "Guardian," which I'd used before. And much more recent is my decision, that maybe he/him pronouns aren't feeling right for them. They're not part of any sex/gender in that sense, though, they more often than not choose male-presenting shapes to shift into.

I was all about MerMay the other day, time to pivot to Sad-Sentinel-Stuck-In-Horse-Body-May!

This month's mail club goodies consists of a close-up of Kazim for the print and three little chibified stickers of him. (If I had the ability to make them glow in the dark, I would, cause his not-actually-zebra-stripes glow more often than not. Oh the limitations of small productions haha)

To get these goodies, be sure to join (or stay) in the "Just A Simple Mailer" Membership tier, during the month of May!

Fox and Horse
Well, are they really fox and horse? No.

Kazim, also affectionately called "the reverse zebra", is a guardian, a primordial being. He used to be able to shift forms, but due to an encounter with a particular wraith, he sort of died. Obviously, he is still alive and kicking (literally), but his connection to the world is severely limited.

Nevan on the other hand is a wraith. He's just wearing a fox carcass to not burn up in the physics of the prime world. He was one of the first to step through the Rift into this world and he has regrets.

Kazim and Nevan don't like each other. There's history there. However, sometimes they put their differences aside and dish out some good ole' death :D


This illustration is also this month's mail club print over on my Ko-fi ( ko-fi.com/sophiepf )!

I pushed through with yesterday's stream and finished this piece of Kyu's first sighting of Kazim on an ethereal plane.

There were a couple of moments where I thought I might've levelled up during my break, while I was painting the boots.
