fd – Weirdlanders

OOC : Holy shit, I found the doodle of the original Feuriah’s Dawn cover in a sketchbook I found in my closet. Sadly, this was the only FD related thing in it, I was hoping it was that one long lost sketchbook with some of FD’s scripts in it (not that it matters that much anymore).

I remember quite the tragedy happened. I had been super excited for this cover, as it was actually a homework assignment my senior year in college (to make a cover, so i used that opportunity to make a cover for FD since there hadn’t been one). I was almost done, I was adding in the text when suddenly, photoshop crashed. The day before the assignment was due. When I tried to open up photoshop again, hoping it saved…. it did not. Suddenly, it was all gone. Not a trace of the file to be found. I was devastated, it was such an awesome cover and really embodied what I had originally wanted for the cover.

So I quickly, in one night, doodled something fast for the assignment. That cover is the one still being used, here. Maybe one day I’ll redo the cover to something more accurate to what FD is about, this one was but it’s still a long time until Bordy even appears. Hell I still gotta get in contact with Bordy’s owner and talk to her about it all, it’s been 6-7 years since we last talked it over x,D

None the less, Felt like this would be a fun find to share!

OOC : Some more interesting doodles I found whilst searching for the sketchbook that had FD’s old scripts. I don’t remember even sketching these, they must be hella old O_O’ I think I remember doodling the one of Nydia… I think I’m going to change her markings back to this, I really like that look.

OOC : The very, VERY, first doodles of Feuriah back in early 2009.

I remember there being at least another page, but due to the limited space in our apartment, most of my books are still packed away in the closet, and shifting through to the other stacks would take a lot of work. Maybe one day.

When I was originally designing her, I did want her to look like Cynder (for obvious character reasons), but little did I know that I was also, at the time, designing my new Scalesona. I didn’t know what furries were back then, but as I made Feuriah I added in aspects and colors I really enjoyed. Long, curvy horns, lots of frills, etc. Looking at these now, she has Voteil’s little chin horns x,D

Characters come a long, LONG way. When I get my hands on more sketches, I’ll definitely post the ones of Feuriah. Most of the other characters were first doodled in the actual comic (Baltimor was never really planned to be a character, but he grew on me x,D), especially Acerbus, who was actually female in the first page he was shown in.

OOC : I’ve had this character for years, after buying a pre-made fursuit partial. I tried giving her a story but it never really panned out, until I started thinking of ways of including her into lore I already had. When I tried to think of ways of including her in FD, her becoming a dream spirit seemed to fit the most! She’s mostly canon for FD, so she has kind of little purpose for Weirdlanders, but who knows she may grow a presence! 😀

OOC : And yes, this is canon for Feuriah’s Dawn as well 😀
