What was the architecture, the city, of Kurosia like?

OOC : Actually, lawl, I’ll answer this one 🙂 Since it’s quite a task for Feur to describe it without imagery.

I am HORRENDOUS and drawing full scale cityscapes. Close ups I can do, hints I can do, but to show the whole of Kurosia how I pictured it… maybe one day x,D But, until then, the best I can really do is provide references I’ve saved up over the years to help me in my countless attempts.

Kurosia itself has been described by the Queen before here from her point of view.

I based most of the castle itself off of Gothic Architecture, like this

Kurosians mostly used black stones and marble to build their castle, with stained windows and incredibly decorated in furnishings.

Another inspiration that really hit of late was the Drangleic Castle from Dark Souls 2. The feel, architecture, and even stones used to make up the castle greatly reflected how I saw the Kurosian Castle.

lastly, the most accurate depiction of Kurosia that has been drawn was from a commission I received from a good friend, DragonCid over on dA for the original version of Feuriah’s story in the Legend of Spyro universe.

I hope that helps! One day I hope to actually draw Kurosia in full, or at least in parts. I can try for some scenes, but for now, this is the best I can provide ^u^

Lost Queen : Pff the best you can provi-

Betch don’t make me make your story more sad, I’LL DO IT

Lost Queen : 8X

Nowhere near a scanner atm, but I figured you’d like to see Talulla so far.

(( OOC : oh mai gawd she’s a beauty!!!! ))

Yein Uch’Drafiur (pronounced Ye-in, Aa-ch’ Dre (rolling ‘r’), lee-fer, sounding close to “Ach Jennifer”. Translating to ‘Adoptive Sister’, “drafiur” meaning sister while adding ’uch’ means that the other is an addition to the family but not blood related.

// OOC : fun fact; most of the Kurosian language is heavily based off of Irish, Gaelic, Norwegian, and sometimes Finnish languages. I lean more closely to Irish/Gaelic, as a great deal of my family and inlaws are Irish ❤ The phrase above is a mash-up of “adoptive sister’ in Irish.

So while I know things with Volteal aren’t good, I doodled him one day in an attempt to break art block. Along with an attempted idea as to what a trained Seuth’s robes would look like … if they wore robes. .-. Do they…?

//OOC : Omg Voteil! I adore how he looks, and the robes are clever, i love em!!! aw thank you so much ❤
