Final 4 works chosen that I have strategically placed at the corner so that no one will notice my works… but too bad I was exposed as I was being spotted picking up my work and putting it back to place… tragic.
Month: February 2016
Lore V
Generally, crime rates are low. And of course, no matter how peaceful Natura is, they need to have laws, if not it will never be peaceful, right?
racism
Naturally, in a city where many races lived together, racism is absolutely not tolerated in the area. Examples of racism are quite obvious, such as saying things like ‘Omg those scales are disgusting you floppy idiot” to fellow fishes or something like ‘Are your whiskers fake’ to cats or like “Are those wings? Where are your hands” to flights. Those type.
It is made legal for the affected party to sue the other party. The other party may be fined or sentenced to work for other clans for a fixed duration of time.
other laws
Another important rule for bounty hunters is to not abuse their status. Those who do that would have their title stripped and they will be evicted from the city of Natura. It is unknown what happens to them afterwards as no one is allowed to speak of their name ever.
Lore IV
Architecture
Natura is surrounded by lush greenery. Architecture-wise, they follow the concept of vernacular, meeting their architecture needs by blending into Mother Nature, camouflaging into their surroundings.
Even the heart of Natura is well-covered by the trees in the forest. This is because the civilians there believed in the importance of preservation and the ‘cycle of life’, where the air flowing should be purified through an endless production of O2 and CO2 that causes a circulation of air between the plants and the animals.
Character Design
In the setting of Natura and its story, we have two main characters whom will meet each other when they encounter similar incidents – Kar and Idrienne. Kar is a flight while Idrienne is a cat.

You know.. when you first introduce yourself, you will go like: “Hello! My name is ____ and ____, my hobbies are ___ and that ___, blah here blah there.”
And there you have it, this is indeed an exercise on that! With a twist. While you are more literal in “Hello, my name is ____,”, we needed to be expressive during the part on “my hobbies are ___ and that____, blah here blah there”.
- Messy?
- Deep down, i am a very messy person. Both of my rooms in hall and home are very messy, and the most i do is to vaccum clean whatever food that was on the floor or hair strands. This is to illustrate the messiness commonly seen in my everyday life.
- This was somehow inspired by one of my favourite artists in instagram, @maruti_bitamin, whom occasionally draws some drawings with shelves. I tried to emulate that to express messiness with my own twist.
- inspiration
- Whom i aspire
- Embracing my animation major (yessah), I drew saitama as a person i aspire to be. Invincible and undefeated, he kills his enemies with a single punch! I would want to be like Saitama in the future, punching all my obstacles in animation and life away with just a single punch
- Curiosity
- Blue is devotion. Red is passion. It is my devotion and passion to find out more what i am curious about despite different routes.
- I believe in life there are infinite possibilities. I am curious about how different actions and choices lead to different possibilities.
LORE III
Hierarchy
There is a one in Natura.
- the queen
- the queen is a fellow young lady. She makes ultimate decisions for the better of Natura, working closely with the parliament with typical government stuff (lol) such as laws and orders, which goes to the parliament and then to the bounty hunters and civilians.
- Members of the parliament are picked by the queen herself, and herself. To be selected, one must be significant enough to be noticed by the queen, or nominated by the fellow civilians of Natura. It is still unknown how the entire process works though.
Despite all races being equal, clans for each bounty hunters are still present. Each races have their own respective clans. These clans generally share good relationships with one another.
- K N I T E
- K N I T E consists of bounty hunters from fellow knights. Their population is big, and are the best in carpentry and blacksmithing. The swords they make are one of the best ones in the entire population of Natura, where they raise funds through them through weapon sellers and the castle for the welfare of fellow bounties.
- F L I G H T S
- Flight bounty clan. Since their combat skills are not as good, they make up for it by helping others. Many specialise in and study herbalism, alchemy, making medicines and potions for the well-being of others. They are also good at teaching fellow civilians their arts of herbalism.
- C A T E L I
- Cat bounty clan. They are very much more active at night, where at day they just chill around and sleep. They specialise in night jobs (as explained on lore II), as well as, surprisingly, detecting oddities, despite them being known as fiery.
- F I S
- Fish bounty clan. They specialise in the art of patience, contrary to cats, engaging in activities such as fishing and scouting. They are also great inventors, responsible for designing many things that had created a huge impact on Natura that made it flourish, such as the water skates. They work closely with K N I T E S in this area.
- E L F I N S
- Elf bounty clan. Being expert marksmen, they are perfect for shooting people at far distances with the bow and arrow, or any other long range weapon in this aspect, without the help of magic. Many are also great chefs, creating sauces and dressings with the power of abundant Nature in the forest.
The five clans together form a community band of bounty hunters, where each tribe follows a democratic system and vote for two fellow clansmen from each clan into a head council of bounty hunters every four years. However, the head of the council is hand-picked by the queen herself among the group of bounty hunters from the five clans, whom serve as the prestigious head of manpower at the parliament, thus garnering great respect amongst fellow hunters.
