Woodspirits

Finished, at last.

This is my woodspirits piece. The characters you see here are "Whoppets", lagomorphic spirits, and forest sentinels, and they belong in the same universe as my other "spirit" characters, the Rionn and Pyrrix. These are earth-spirits, who rebel against their own sponsor, the Earth Elemental, when he refuses to collaborate with the other Elementals in forming the guardians--Rogue spirits, of a sort, their magic is weak, but their drive is firm. The Whoppets ally themselves with the Lumbas, a jungle tribe of insectoid hunters. The Lumbas here are Glittertwim (the Brave), Bimmertwig (the Fierce), and Twimmerglum (the Misguided).

The male is "Stormears" and the female is "Cloudtail". Partially inspired by the numerous rabbits that have created residences around my house, there is an intended Japanese influence in the design of the characters--latentely, at least, as another influence is the episode of "Samurai Jack" where Jack loses his footwear, and must replace them somehow. As far as forest-like representation goes, I think of Stormears as the leaf, and Cloudtail as the bark, denoted in their clothing-pattern differences.
