#PortfolioDay
Time for another, only six months later!
Hi, I’m Khala, and I make pixel art! Been going for about 5.5 years on and off. I have a million OCs, but enjoy fanart and worldbuilding of my own characters and my setting, #SerpensDeus

A Druid of the Arboreal Dream
The men and women of this caste of casters tend to the groves and shrubbery of the primeval, mystical forest the Duchies call home, and as a result: the forest bestows them with elemental magic they use to help heal and buff others

Serpens Deus Page 11: Kryn's Divinity
The ancient warlord Kryn shirks his mortal coil and ascends to the heavens, whereupon the Maelyr Khan assumes the mantle of leading the Empire into a new age. The people see Kryn as deified.

The Bale Moon, a rare supernatural event in #SerpensDeus in which the followers of a feared god are empowered and their numbers bolstered by creatures of dark forests and beings of midnight places. It’s said the snake-like appearance is only a facade to paint blame on glorious Kryn…
Happy Halloween!
Serpens Deus Page 10: Kryn's War
Jurin Zenyur receives the blessing of The Incarnate of Kryn, and leads the cultists in a shadow war against the loyalist forces of the ruling Maelyr Khan. Blood hits the streets hidden from the world

Serpens Deus Page 7: Kryn's Kindred
A faraway carboniferous realm musters for war, or perhaps a surgical strike, using powerful magic and esoteric technology. Qu’zhat’kaiyan sends his Xoktulkani elf slaves to hunt for The Incarnate.

Serpens Deus Page 5: Kryn's Opulence
The Incarnate enjoys gifts of treasure and luxury as his cult grows in size. This lifestyle is somewhat new, but he revels all the same. Piles of hoarded gold fill caverns beneath the soil.

Serpens Deus Page 4: Kryn's Realm
The Coiled Gate marks the entrance to the southern quarter of Chuluun, known also as Lodeshard. The silver district glints in the distance, while the markets of the Imperial people line the streets.

Serpens Deus Page 3: Kryn's Prophecy
The Incarnate gives a dire warning of coming death, vast swathes of otherworldly destruction yet to come. In turn, his followers only grow in number, flocking to his powerful words.

Serpens Deus Page 2: Kryn's Deceit
A being descends from the heavens, cultists and zealots across the Kryn Empire herald it as The Incarnate of Kryn. Their deified imperial founder returned in a new reptilian form.

Serpens Deus Page 1: Kryn's Judgement
Jurin Zenyur, the Lord-Torturer, delivers the final word upon the form of a non-believer. Once, Jurin was a part of the Serpent Court. Now, he is the judgement of The Incarnate of Kryn manifest.

An ever so slight tiny teeny #SerpensDeus #pixelart update, a musician for page 11, he’s playing a Qeej! He will be one of two musicians
A small view into some of the other nations of SD, still very much WIP since the focus currently is on expanding the worldbuilding of the Kryn Empire specifically, but may be enjoyed by some!! The first two feature in page 6, Kryn’s Rival
#pixelart #SerpensDeus
A couple character designs from the Imperial Mage Guild. A generic weaving some defensive magic (check the colour and shape iconography compared to the magic system I previously posted!). The other is Vimiek, she’s the current Guildmaster.

Dwarves! One of the nine imperial races, these craftsmen and economists are the bread and butter of the Kryn Empire’s industrial might. Imperial forges glow aflame with their metallurgical ingenuity.
#pixelart #SerpensDeus
Some #pixelart designs for the snail dudes in SD, they appear in pages 5 and 10. I’ll have lore etc posted once there’s a few more designs but for now here’s an image with a bunch, the males have the grey-ish shells and the females have the brown shells.

Something a little more fun, the #SerpensDeus magic system!
There are three “common” magic types, then 4 “uncommon” types. Now also, there’s Voidcursed, a magic derived from the titular eldritch horror of the SD setting, which we have seen in pages 3 and 8 so far.

Flags of the Kryn Empire, the Naval flag forgoes the blue for red (to stand out at sea) and displays chains, showing the Empire's unity. The religious flag presents a snake's eye, and forgoes the use of white & blue entirely, much like another religious faction...
#SerpensDeus #Pixelart
A Gharion, an enormous Drakanid creature native to the plains and rivers of the Kryn Empire, they stretch to incredible lengths and gorge themselves on fish, cattle, and occasional bands of wanderers or peasants who stray too close to their river/swamp grottos

Oh and I didn’t share on Christmas Day so I’m late, but here’s a Wandering traveller said to be adept in gnomish magic for Serpens Deus
