That looks awesome! Got me curious about her true form. Are those symbols from something or entirely original?

mostly original, though they're inspired by the Hymnos script from Ar Tonelico

as for her true form, it's just an alternate color palette. she dies her fur and usualy wears a shirt or jacket hiding her wings, to help her blend in on earth so folks don't realize she's a Laurae Nav (and an oddball one at that, since the Nav aren't supposed to have wings like their sphinxlike and gryphonlike cousins the Sha and Rou do). in her case her mane (it's how she has hair. both genders have lion like manes.) tail tuft and wingtips should be lavender, and her spots hands feet and chest should be pearl. the rest of her is still black.

Definitely an interesting creature. So what is she from? Original species?

Interesting character bio, Buster. That grimace certainly suggests she's not here just to make friends.
Looks like Macabre has stumbled into the Gallifrax dimension. But he still looks adorable, ribs and all.
Well, during an experiment, I had accidentally turned into this:

However, with some duct tape and a Snickers, I turned into the desired wolf form I always dreamed of. Then again, not having wings will take a bit of getting used to. I can't just jump out the window to sneak out of work anymore.

Awesome! Definitely not as intimidating as Gygas-wolf. Still intimidating, though. Snickers does wonders, doesn't it?

Finally showing off more of Macabre's prehensile ribs in a cute manner. Used an image of Bruce and Roosevelt that Rick drew a while back as reference.

That would be Arin that he is hugging right? Does Arin have any other kids adopted or otherwise?

Yes, that is Arin. And no, Macabre is his only kid at all. In his bio, I mentioned that he is a sort of a "caretaker" type, in both life and afterlife, never having a family of his own. Think of him as a sort of babysitter. While he would bond with them, Macabre is the first/only one he'd take as family.

The picture really did come out well and it would have been nice if Macabre did have some siblings that WEREN'T insane like his was but I get where Arin came from.

Got more. REALLY just wanted to get this done and over with, and it shows. I had no comic references, but I got the pose from a screenshot of the clash between Batman and Catwoman in the video game, Injustice 2.

Mirage is not only Macabre's girlfriend, she's also his mentor in fighting.

And this is a moment that would have happened in Mirage's story in Fightpets. She would have come across a possessed Macabre, controlled by the antagonist of the game. Side note, I would later realize that making Macabre an Infernal would make this part make a lot more sense, as initially he was another Celestial, but I found it odd that an Infernal could take direct control of one. As the antagonist, Barghest was a very powerful Infernal being, I thought it'd make sense that he'd be able to command low-order ones like Macabre.

Wouldn't the two of them be husband and wife by now? They did exchange rings and proposed to each other at the same time.

two possible explanations:

Heh, that's a good one, Hlaoroo! Never was a fan of those kinds of rides, myself. Peoples reaction on the way down is a fun thing to see, though.

Yeah, they're not in order. I'm drawing and showing things that I feel like showing at different times. I'll be jumping back and forth in their timelines. Fun fact, I had two ideas for if Fightpets and its follow-up happened regarding these two. In Fightpets, I wanted to have a sort of secret video unlockable after beating the game with everyone, in which it showed the proposal. The follow-up would be some time down the road after that, where Mirage and Macabre showed up as NPCs, and it would be revealed that they were expecting, with Oliver being shown finally in the end credits.

Drew this up. Referenced one of the initial sketches that Chaoko made of Mirage in her Celestial form. I really wanted to try to get a good idea of the hair.

me too. i think it's the combination of large head, emphasized brow-ridge without actually having eyebrows, and spiky hair that does it.

Huh, alright. The brow ridge was Chaoko's idea. After sending him her initial recolor concept, he took some cues from the Super Saiyan design, with her celestial form specifically from Super Saiyan 3. Guess I could have at least shrunken the head a bit.

Decided to try my hand at writing a story. Some time ago Krytus drew up some sketches of Macabre, and some of them gave me the idea for this. https://drive.google.com/file/d/165MASB ... p=drivesdk

In hindsight, should have made one thing a bit more clear; Macabre doesn't really fear his mother. He fears having to go back to where he used to be. It's why he almost never brings it up at first.

Also, hope I made it obvious how early this was in his relationship with Arin. He wouldn't start calling him "dad" until later.

Made this realization when Dusk asked the simple question of what their story was. But it was because of him that I even started the biography sheets in the first place.

Don't diss a demi-goddess' choice in romantic partners.

The other rabbit is Efran, a character planned to appear in Tails of Babylon. Scene is based on planned dialogue for the now-cancelled Fightpets.

Is Efran supposed to be rude, or do they just hate Mirage? Also, what is Efran's gender?

Firstly, Efran's a male. Secondly, he's the leader of a super militant warren who despises all predators. So here he sees an incredibly able-bodied hare, but who's actively dating a coyote. He views that as a betrayal of species.
