Lately, I've been considering revisiting an idea I had several years back. I tried to draw a lineup of characters who are or have been inmates of the Divine Sanctuary, but only got about two characters in before deciding to give up and move on to something else. It was July 2020, about five years ago. This was back when I was still working in MediBang Paint on my computer, rather than Procreate on my iPad, which I've been using for all of my digital art since December 2021. I went digging around in my old MediBang Paint stuff and found it. It's not very good, but it's a fun look back at where I was half a decade ago. I usually draw cartoony circle heads and cuter proportions these days. Back then, I was trying to copy traditional anime style heads like in my books, so they all had weirdly long faces. The characters in this lineup were going to be Raven, Wolf, Platypus, Melanie, Quinn, King, Skunk, Jasper, Mouse, Kiwi, Casino, Chance, Solar, and Polar. To date, I've still never

Galmiun is a fictional world, one without our real world cultures and ethnicities. Our real world of Terra no longer exists in their universe, but remnants of it were inherited by this new world. It's an aspect I tend to downplay, as it's rather granular and these distinctions mean little to the people of Galmiun themselves. However, you may understand these characters better by knowing more about the real world cultures that inspired them. The Grayleaf Clan Casino Grayleaf, and the Grayleaf Clan as a whole, is meant to be Galmiun's equivalent of Chinese and Celtic, especially Irish. You more than likely knew the Irish part, though the Chinese aspect may have been less obvious. They're meant to reflect these cultures as they were centuries ago, along with reflecting the predominant quasi-medieval fantasy trappings of Galmiun itself. There are ancestors of the Grayleaf Clan spanning multiple centuries of the timeline, so they can vary quite dramatically. Keno Grayleaf, for

Her hair grew quite long~ ^^

Skunk's Hair Growth

Skunk and Casino would be great if both could have skunk tails together. Like a couple of lost skunks that found each other. ^^


That image idea would be super cute if you want to draw that someday. ^^

Awww~ Casino's all cute and embarrassed now.

An Embarrassed Skunk Boy

Don't you just want to hug him when he's like this? I sure do. ^^

If how long a Character's hair is indicates their divine status, that must mean Blockeon (or "Bunny" as he's known in the sanctuary) could turn anyone into a God. Or at least close to God as they can get.


Blockeon himself has long green hair after deciding to grow it out so that's gotta count for something. ^^

Hope you enjoy this little story I made:

If any drawings come to mind from this, let me know. I'd love to see them. ^^

I love the Character Designs you create. They're all so pretty.


Looking at your profile, two questions come to mind.


Why does every single Character have extremely long hair and why are the majority of them named after animals?


This is coming from someone who adores Character Designs with long hair by the way. I want to know why you designed your OCs the way you did. ^^

Thank you very much! 🥰


My characters have extremely long hair for two major reasons.


Reason one is that extremely long hair is often considered something divine. It's a feature typical in depictions of goddesses throughout various works.


And reason two is because, well... I just really like it. 😅


Albeit, perhaps not to the extent that you seem to, but still, it's something of a lifelong fixation of mine.


Also, it's not every single character. I have quite a lot of characters, such as Casino, Mint, Kiwi, Mouse, and Rabbit, who have shorter hair as well.


As for the animal names, there's a reason for this as well. The gods of Galmiun, rather than directly representing concepts like war or poetry, instead represent various animals.


For example, instead of a god of smithing like the Greek god Hephaestus, Galmiun has a god of oxen who is his world's greatest smith.


Dragon is the god of dragons, Dog is the goddess of dogs, and of course, Skunk is the goddess of skunks. Unlike gods in most other mythologies, they coexist with mortals and are treated like normal people.


Divine characters without animal names, such as Casino Grayleaf, were born mortal and later became immortal. Unlike gods, they have family names and bloodlines, whereas gods simply appear in Galmiun fully grown without a family or childhood.
