Description
A Chieftain of Moehn. An opossum. Gray, matted fur. Black paws. Ghostly white face. Behold the weathered creases that line his pale visage, the thick callouses on the pads of his fingers and palms. These tell a tale of hard work beneath a hard sun. His people were a tribe of farmers and herbalists, living in accord with the earth and sky. But the war drums thundered their call to arms, and sent tremors rumbling through the ground that Brynnmhur so loved. The conflict could no longer be ignored. He took up the only weapon he knew how to wield, and led his people away from the fields of life and bounty, into a world of fire and death. Now they reaped lives. The reality of war preyed mercilessly upon a soft hearted Brynnmhur, the horror and revulsion of the blood on his hands steadily eating away at his sanity, until one day... he could no longer see people before him. All he saw was a bountiful harvest. (Listen to "Anti Nightcore - O Death" on YouTube for maximum... enjoyment.)Related content

That's a really cool character design.
Also, scythes are amazing!

Despite his uniquely off-putting and unrefined appearance, Brynnmhur is indeed a Chieftain of Moehn, the somewhat shakily united nations that are currently engaged in a full-on invasion of Djuradha, the land where our heroes mostly reside. Among the nations, his plays the role of Quartermaster, responsible entirely for the transportation of medicine and supplies across the mountains between the two countries, and that those channels remain open at all costs. But even through his utter madness, Brynnmhur can see that this will not last. The nations are spread too thin, with fourteen years of conflict having eroded away at the core of the Homeland, to the point where not many still believe in the war they are fighting. The realm of agriculture has been almost entirely commandeered to feed the war effort, and even then supplies are beginning to run low. He told as much to one of his generals. He sat upon a barrel of fish, sharpening his scythe even though it truly didn't need it. "We've been away from home for too long. Too long." His voice was soft and thick, aged and accented. "Most of us don't even want to be here anymore. Most of us don't know why we came here in the first place. And with morale like that, as soon as you start having to tighten your belts and ration out food... Well, son, this war is going to fall apart. And if they can't see that, then they're crazy." His general snapped back to attention as Brynnmhur slowly put away his whetstone and stood. He brought the scythe blade up to his right palm, and with a sudden jerk, sliced it neatly open. His general flinched. Brynnmhur's weathered eyes wrinkled in a satisfied smile. "That'll do." As he walked past his rigid subordinate, he laid his lacerated palm on their armored shoulder. "Thanks for listening. You're the only one who will anymore." And with that, he walked away, leaving the general with a bloody shoulder pad to clean.

Damn. He sounds like one hell of a good character!
Are you planning to make a book out of all of this? Because your writing skills are on point!

Awsome ! Please tell me when it comes out.
I love creating stories too, but none of them are nicely planned out, and there are a lot of them. So it's a little all over the place.

"All over the place" is a phrase I can certainly sympathize with, considering the pictures I've uploaded to this site follow no canonical order. Though, they do all follow the same story, albeit different facets involving different characters. But there is one person who the story chiefly follows. Look no further than Robert Peterson Carver, of Northern End. The One-Eyed Wanderer. I am about to complete another picture of him, which I shall upload here promptly. Sometime within the next few days.

Can't say the same for me, unfortunately. I love drawing the characters I create, but none of them are part of a big and intricate story like yours are...
