Hello again!

After posting Azura's essence, I made this one for another one of my snow leopards. I ventured further into describing Arctax's spirit, which isn't to say he's got a deeper personality then Azura does . Any thoughts?

Arctax:

That was great!

Nice job! I really like the detail you used describing his spirit!

Sweeeeet. I like him a lot.

Thanks guys!

I had fun with Arctax, he's an interesting character. I notice that my essences always seem kind of short, does anyone else think that?

Short but rich in beautiful pictures. Not a problem.

Arctax is a snow leopard. Outwardly, he's calm and steady, but inwardly, he's very passionate and emotional (especially in the love and anger areas). He tries to keep it hidden and personal. As you can probably see, I'm still getting the hang of this whole essence thing . Now that I examine the map a bit more, he does sound like a canine.

Come to think of it, it'd be interesting to do a essence map of my wolf character, Silvergold.



Thanks, Eruwaedhiel!

It depends on which way you look at it. My primary main character is Azura (her essence is posted as well), but a lot of the story is told from Arctax's point of view, and he's my main male character. I just don't write with him as much as I do Azura because he's more difficult to portray.

oooohhhh...
