A mishmosh(yes I meant what I said) of creative things, from my pencil sketches and copied drawing to my digital artworks that I traced over and fixed to make my own, and then some AUs, Headcanons, short stories, concepts, stuff like that. All of th...
Soooo in The Secrets of Bella Grace, I have a species I've freshly introduced, called the Pheryük. It used to be the plural form Pheryüks, but I decided to get rid of the s at the end, so the plural is like sheep or moose. For those who are unaware, a Pheryük is basically like, a glorified mermaid. They have two legs and a tail, fins, and gills, which are on their backs, rather than their necks. They have magic to cast spells, and live in an unspecified place under the sea (bcs fish people be fish people). They have bad blood with the Harpiers, whom I will discuss later. Harpiers would hunt Pheryük for their scales, which were used in ceremonies or as a show to a Harpier's strength. Pheryük avoid humans and boats, but will occasionally raid their fishing nets(leading to 'mysterious holes' on the human's side). While they do have scales, Pheryük have actual skin, which covers the majority of their bodies. They have a set of scales around their hands and shoulders, the scales looking a bit like armour in how they overlap. It's extremely, excruciatingly painful to remove these scales, but they do grow back, over the course of many years. Along with having magic and spells, they can also do a sort of thing where they can turn human at will, and this change can last however long they wish, even in the water. I think that's all I want to say about them right now, but anyway, here's a picture of a Pheryük.

She's gorgeous, I think.
And now, the glorified harpy/ Irish bird people!
So. Harpiers. There's some stuff about them. Here it is(totally wasn't stalling an intro): they're a species that comes from Ireland, and like the Pheryük, they do have magic and spells, they just choose not to use it because they believe most of it to be of bad origins, stemming from their ancient feud with the aquatic creatures. Typically, they're a tall bunch, in human size they're all around 6 feet or some slightly taller than normal height, but in their Harpier forms, they're about 9 feet tall. Their wingspans are about, 24 feet long, and are born human, only with little indents in their shoulder blades and spine where the wings will connect. The wings and other Harpier features come in when they're a teen, usually done in a ceremony with a Pheryük scale, which is believed to help them unlock their wings the first time. They have families known as Flocks that can have as many as 9, and prefer to live near the sea, town homes can make them feel a little claustrophobic. Graceful and elegant creatures, they have a society that isn't fully understood, and have a ferocious combat ability. I have no size comparison for them with an actual person, but the Na'vi in James Cameron's Avatar and a human would be a good height comparison. There is also sort of like, subspecies to Harpiers, who are sort of smaller, less pure, and some can't actually get rid of their Harpier features. That's one of the ones that has a human in one of the following pictures as well. That human is Charlie so there y'all go, I should probably actually draw him one day, but for now, you have this as a reference.

A common theme I had was they all have a sort of reddish colored hair, to push in that Irish origin, though some may be born with a different color, or they may choose to dye their hair a different colour.
