Description As the title says, the Triade - all three of them. I wanted to do a group pic of my Cilessians for a long time, because they form such a great power together. I know I said I was gonna do a solo one of Sanaa first, but I got inspired, heh. CocoNuts has had some modifications, let's say Cilessians have invented hairweaves as well I changed some little facts about her, so she suits her role better.

From left to right Dame Blanche (Sanaa) CocoNuts (Brae) and Whipped Cream (Demuxanne)
---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- -----------------------------

I'll write down their full bios and all the info on the Triade when I've completed slapping colours on this. For now, I'll leave you with this information:

Nickname: Dame Blanche
Real name: Sanaa Nazjet
Age: 496
Occupation: Warmaster

Sanaa is the youngest asset of the Triade, and this girl likes her bling-bling She loves to adorn herself with all kinds of jewelry and she's also the most vain of the three. Her weapon is a huge trident she inherited from her grandmother, although I didn't incorporate their weapons in this picture (I'll show it later).
She is a shadow flayer. She encountered her first shadow flayke when she was about 80 years old. The second one (she has two in total) has been with her since she settled herself on Cilessia 2, which is a mere 170 years ago. She had a hydra flayke at first, but she realized it wasn't quite for her. Because of her dark personality she was attracted to shadow flaykes, and apparently they to her.
Sanaa is always accompanied by her masculine companion, a loyal panther called Yavi. Sanaa is by nature a magic user, and though she is very capable of fending for herself, she prefers to have Yavi do the rough work for her

nickname: CocoNuts
Real name: Brae SolaniVaxa
Age: 765
Occupation: Warmaster

Brae is the leader of the Triade, and she's a grand philospher. Brae was blessed with a highly developed intelligence, and this gift made her very much her own independant person. Her brightness has rescued her out of threatening situations many times, and an argument with he mostly ends up with a stunning remark from her. She questions almost everything, finding alternative ways to interpret events and she's always had some problems with authority. Her alternative views about the Cilessian history have led her to Cilessia twin, where she resides as the leader of her own founded Triade, where some still try to seek her out for guidance and advice. Many have returned confused and unsure about their lives, for Brae will try to expose you to thoughts and beliefs unknown to you.
Brae is a dark, mysterious and treacherous woman to most, and feared by many. Or is she just misunderstood?

Nickname: Whipped Cream
Real name: Demuxanne Gael
Age: 598
Occupation: Warmaster

Demuxanne was a gladiator before she decided to learn the ways of the warmaster. After being spotted in the arena, the oldest and most respected warmaster known at this time, Lime (c) * sayda , challenged her to see if she would be worth the position of apprentice. After the positive outcome of this physical test, Demuxanne began her training to become a true warmaster. It did not take long before her tendency towards the dark paths started causing friction between her and Lime. Demuxanne disagreed with the views of her master, and started using techniques Lime did not approve of. In a final confrontation, Lime decided to drop Demuxanne as her apprentice altogether, and they went their separate ways. Demuxanne did not complete her training with Lime, but she found the knowledge she needed in others while traveling through the galaxy.
All her adventures have led her to Cilessia twin, where she takes her position of the second of the triade, the right-hand of Brae.

The Triade consists of these three strong warmasters, and they have developed a strong bond as warriors and as lovers. They have found eachother in the darkness they embrace. As warmasters, they are able to take on an apprentice. This does not happen often, because they are highly selective - a common feature among warmasters. They travel to Cilessia Prime once a year to look for prospective apprentices, but they usually return unsatisfied. When they do take on an apprentice, it is a collective affair. All three of them will teach their knowledge only to one chosen apprentice. Thus the apprentice will have three teachers, and will have a varied knowledge base of magic, combat and philosophy upon completion of their hard training.

Dualmask [2005-02-14 15:57:51 +0000 UTC]

Very nice linework, I like their poses too. It's plain to see this was perfectly planned from the beginning...a lot of artists (including myself sometimes) would be daunted by trying to put multiple characters in one scene like that. Some even draw them separately and put them together in PS or something. Nicely done, I must say, and the way your coloring is evolving, I know it'll look excellent when finished.

saltybizkit In reply to Dualmask [2005-02-14 23:01:04 +0000 UTC]

Thanks Dual
Yeah, I was messing around with some poses, and I had something completely different in my mind (as always) but I am glad it worked out. I'm not that good at piecing characters together in a right manner, but this worked out okay I guess

I don't work fast enough yet, though, I ponder too much without getting results. In the end, the result is there, but it just takes too damn long. Ah well....

thanks again Dual, for the great comment I hope I don't screw up the colours, hah!

About the inks....*drumroll please*

Thing is, it's all pencils. Heh, I suppose you could say I trace the linework with a dark mech 2b pencil, adding lineweights, and that would count as 'inking' it.

Happy you like the piece!

Hallo Feathers!

I'm honoured you would want to colour something of mine, heh. If you need a high rez version or something, you can always note me with your e-mail adress and I'll be happy to help.

If you want their colourschemes, I've put up seperate pictures of CocoNuts and Whipped Cream in my gallery along with their colours. It might be easiest to look them up
I haven't got a colourscheme for Sanaa (the left one) yet, heh, so you can have free game with that one!

I'm also extremely jealous of the work you put into the hairstyles. But not so jealous I won't *fave* this one. Excellent work, man! Glad I discovered your work through the Cilessian project!

saltybizkit In reply to Gunmetalblack [2005-02-11 13:42:31 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much Gunn. I'm really so pleased when people like my lineart, since I really haven't drawn in quite a while. So yeah, these Cilessians got me inspired and they were just the breath of fresh air I needed to make some drawings again
I tend to put a lot of effort in character designs. I always want to create a complete picture of a character, including background stories because it gives them more depth. The whole process is just a lot of fun to do, and usually it's just as if they pop up in my mind. That one idea that makes you go "yes, that's what I'm looking for"
So i can't tell you how much it means to me to hear these positive comments.
thanks again for your awesome words

saltybizkit In reply to saltybizkit [2005-02-12 00:16:02 +0000 UTC]

I do so much enjoy reading your comments, Gunn

What you describe is exactly spot-on, on the spot (what's the phrase.... ) The design is something that contributes so much to the character, and it means so much when the effort put into that is picked up and recognized

Gunmetalblack In reply to saltybizkit [2005-02-11 22:35:57 +0000 UTC]

I do the same thing--exhaustively detail every part of the outfit in an effort to better define the character, so I know where you're coming from there. Sometimes the difference between a memorable pic and just another one in the file can be as simple as a little bit of business that shows off the character in "character design."

And it's my pleasure to comment. Great art like this deserves notice. Keep it up.

Hey Show! thanks for the positive comment, I'm really glad you like the girls in such a way they made it to the VIP section!! heh, it's an honour, because I didn't expect that to happen

And yes, I'd love a storytie or something between them and Xzettzen, I really love that character. I don't have any concrete suggestions at the moment, but I will work on that. Maybe you have any suggestions, you can always note me or something.

All the final info on them and the triade will be posted with the final version of this piece, and yeah ofcourse I'll let you know when I've finished that I was thinking of waiting with the links until I had completed the final version, but I might as well post the links to the pieces i have now.

saltybizkit In reply to saltybizkit [2005-02-11 18:40:59 +0000 UTC]

Hmm, i think something went wrong with my reply here....ah well

I love that idea, show! The Triade would suit the role of liason/contact perfectly. Because of their own views towards the unbalance between males and females, they would be very interested in helping Xzettzen out in any way they can. In their opinion, males should be brought back into the world anyway

They live on Cilessia Twin, very secluded, so they can provide Xzettzen with shelter whenever he needs it. Also, because of their status as warmasters, they earn a lot of respect, and no one would dare question their business. The circumstances are ideal for them as his contacts. They would be able to use their position to cover for him

Also, the idea of Xzettzen having a love affair with one of them works really well. These women are lovers, but they are interested in men not only for their ethical opinions, but also for...."other things"

Which one of them would have the affair with him is kinda up to his taste in women They are all suitable candidates for him, and each of them will be interested in having a male lover. Personally, I think Brae would claim Xzettzen for herself, since she is the highest in rank. On the other hand, the other two have just as much potential

Good ideas Show, I think being his contacts on Cilessia would suit their characters and their purpose very well. The citadel they live in could be somewhat of a safehaven for Xzettzen in a place where it's hard for him to exist.

👍: 0 ⏩: 0

saltybizkit In reply to saltybizkit [2005-02-11 16:20:47 +0000 UTC]

wow yeah, that's actually a great idea. Because of the disturbed male-female balance within the Cilessian race, the Triade would be very interested in the only male left. In their views, men should be brought back into the world, and so they would be more than prepared to help Xzettzen in any way they can.

They do live on Cilessa Twin, very secluded, so Xzettzen could find shelter with them anytime. It would be perfect . They are warmasters, and so they have a respected status. This might make it easier for them to fulfill the role of liaison, since many will not dare to question their business.

Heh, you're not stretching it, I really enjoy the ideas of other people A love triangle would also suit their characters very well. All three of them are very interested in Xzettzen, not only because of their own ethical views, but also for....let's say "other" reasons . As far as the love triangle goes, which one do you think would be most Xzettzen's type? I'm thinking, since CocoNuts is the leader, she would probably claim him for herself, but the other two are just as likely candidates for a romantic relationship. It kinda depends on Xzettzen's taste in women

anyway, I think the role of 'contacts' and providing shelter would suit the Triade perfectly

saltybizkit In reply to saltybizkit [2005-02-17 16:47:11 +0000 UTC]

Ok, well I guess I'm just plain Hahaha, oh well....at least I'm cute c__c

Yeah, I was wondering about that, since he's got Paone on his side Indeed, the drama of choosing between the babes, thoughts going back and forth as the world turns... Which side will have the upperhand???
Well, as far as who would be the one to pursue, it would definately be Brae. She is definately the most agressive one in that sense. She's extremely cunning and smart, and she would use a lot of mindgames to loosen Xzettzen from his wife.
The way I would imagine it, Brae would definately play in on his confusion. She would try to add strength to the darker side of him, the vengeful side, and try to convince him of the fact that she would be a way better match for him than his wife. Kind of the "together we can rule the world" vibe....but very subtly, step by step winning him over. She would expose him to his darker side and make him feel comfortable in it. That's the way she works.
Ofcourse women turn to vicious beasts when it comes to their lovers, so there might be a chance Paone comes back to smack her upside down!! Unless he truly turns evil......

LOL! Yeah you replied to your own message man! LOL! But hmm. Since Xzettzen is married , sorta, He wouldn't think of them in that way unless its brought up, So I would imagine the more agressive of the bunch would pursue him? This ofcourse causing him to stop and think and to be torn between two women : The old flame (the good kind and soft motherly girl) or one of the triades, who represent his lost "vengeful" side.. I don't know , who would pursue him first?

showkaizer In reply to saltybizkit [2005-02-11 13:57:21 +0000 UTC]

Awesome. I'll be looking foward to it ^^ And what I was thinking is that Xzettzen needs a liazon on Cilessia. Some sort of "contact" It doesn't have to be official, but since hes a male its gonna be increasingly difficult for him to sneek onto the planet alone. And perhaps one of them could be involved in some sort of love triangle with him? okay that might be stretching it, I don't wanna impose on your charas lol. But yeah, thats my idea.
