And you thought the WHALE was bad, Ballister. Now you have a TITAN on your hands. 🤣

As big as she is, Sylia can cut a mean rug, and for her heartbonded Doohan, he's dancing on top of the world. Just two people having wholesome fun with one another.

#furry #macro #sfw #halavahverse #sylia
Sylia the Halavahdon (whale-otter) and her heartbonded Doohan Lackey Otter. Their size scales are vastly different; Sylia is a hundred times Doohan's size. That doesn't stop him from dancing atop her head. For Sylia, it's the joy of land-dancing with a loved one. For Doohan, it's dancing on top of the world. The song is Thurston Harris' "Little Bitty Pretty One" and includes the lyrics: "Little bitty pretty one Come on and talk-a to me! Lovely dovey, lovey one Come on and sit down on my knee!" As different as their sizes are... in they end, they're just two people having fun with each other.

And now for something a little different: Sylia done manga style by @ukabor.bsky.social / Heigen. He does a beautiful job with the big girl, giving her just the right mix of friendly and alien appearance. A very good job by one of my favorite Japanese artists!

#sylia #halavahverse #ukabor #furry
Simple portrait of Sylia done by Heigen / Ukabor. She's wide in the hips and thick in the tail, which suits her perfectly. He even took the time to give her a proper orca dorsal fin and a set of tail flukes that would do ANY orca proud. In the portrait she is looking over her shoulder, and in her blue eyes you can see both the familiar and the alien. She's a whale-otter through and through, and Ukabor knocks it out of the park first time out.

Beautiful piece by @theabbeyroadie.bsky.social featuring the Grand Matriarch, mar-Tykoni, in the aftermath of a terrible disaster that cost her sister's life.

More details in the alt text.

This was the Mover Disaster: youtu.be/Ro_QpDJX-Sk?....

#halavahverse #halavahdon #mar-tykoni #kytana
mar-Tykoni, Grand Matriarch of the Explorer Pod, in her greatest moment of doubt and pain: The Mover Disaster. The Great Mover is the core of the Explorer project, an interstellar teleporter gifted to the Halavahdon by the Benefactors. However, it had a fatal flaw in it: Nonredundancy. Her little sister was returning from a successful Explorer mission when the Mover blew its main memory core. The result was blind horror: A random half of her matter came back. Inside out. And alive to feel it. The screams were heard over a mile away. They didn't last long... fortunately. After taking control of the bedlam that followed, Tykoni retired to her private quarters, accessed via an underwater cave. She sits on a crystal bench, in tears, talking to Kytana the Leviaphin, the giant psychic orcas that act as mentors and support the Explorer Project. Tykoni: "What... what do I do now? How can some new Matriarch save what we've built? I... I couldn't even save my own sister..." Kytana: "By looking to your pod. We're here too. You don't have to do it alone. We are all gravely wounded by this, but we're prepared to do whatever it takes to get your people home. And we hope you are, too." There are also song lyrics from Pat Benetar's "Invincible" above it, as foreshadowing of the speech Tykoni gives to the Explorer Pod later. Then she sets to work to get the Mover repaired, to bring the rest of her people in the field home alive...

Deadly trouble - An Explorer has gone down. Did gravity sickness overcome them? Were they shot down? Did something go wrong with their belt?

The Rescue Pod is here. If this wasn't an accident, someone is going to *pay.*

By @theabbeyroadie.bsky.social

#macro #halavahverse #halavahdon #rescue
mar-Tykoni and mel-Lothann lead a Warrior Pod to rescue a fallen Explorer. This Warrior Pod is quite unique: They call themselves the Lost Boys, once a bachelor pod, now seasoned Warriors. They are the muscle to get their podmate home - and if they were shot down, they will attack without mercy to provide Tykoni and Lothann cover until their Explorer can be rescued. The Lost Boys show up, and you shot down one of their peaceful Explorers, you are going to have a *very bad day.* I often say Halavahdon are the anti-kaiju. But you piss them off enough, and they can absolutely go all kaiju on your arse, and the Lost Boys like nothing more than a good fight. Bangarang.

mel-Lothann is nearly as smart as she is. And they genuinely like Nimona. Hard not to, long as you are on her good side. She'll have quite a few stories to tell!

Insanely good real-media painting of mar-Tykoni, the Grand Matriarch of the Halavahdon Explorer Pod. (Say that five times fast!)

Art by Sandy Schreiber. More details in alt text.

#macro #halavahdon #mar-tykoni #halavahverse
A painted watercolor portrait of the Grand Matriarch of the Explorer Superpod of the Halavahdon. (Whew!) She's sort of the equivalent of a NASA flight director - all Explorer operations, as well as updating the Elder Pod and relay pods, fall to her. She's driven by both a belief in her mission and bringing her people back home alive. She's very tall for a female Halavahdon, 430 feet from head to toe. Despite her great height she has a relatively compact. thick build, with a huge tail, leading to a set of flukes that are almost as big as her entire upper body. She has teal eyes and an ice blue crystal pendant around her neck. As shown, this crystal has a unique ability: It was engineered to plug into Explorer technology, allowing her to move things with her mind, create shields, and more. She rarely uses this ability, but she is the last line of defense for the Benefactor Campus; if she needs to, she *will* ruin your day. mar-Tykoni doesn't need to command respect. She earns it with hard work, dedication, and committment to the future of two peoples. She is truly The Matriarch. Art is by Sandy Schreiber.

My best work by @theabbeyroadie.bsky.social - a miniature "pitch bible" for the Halavahverse, in place of a text FAQ. Further information will be in the alt text.

That's a great way to present a complex world. I'm curious, what's the most interesting aspect of the Halavahverse that you're trying to convey through this 'pitch bible'?

Can't make a post about mar-Tykoni without also posting her consort, mel-Lothann. We've seen the Chief Warrior of the Benefactors before; do not ever underestimate his intelligence or cunning.

Art by Heather Bruton.

#macro #halavahdon #mel-lothann #halavahverse
mel-Lothann, Chief Warrior of all the Benefactor Warrior Pods. A monster of a Halavahdon at 460 feet and wielding a diamond-tipped spear nearly as big as he is. He calls himself the Solitary Warrior, and yet he can command an army. To understand his strength and speed, think of this: A bull orca can break a Great White Shark in half with one hit. mel-Lothann is 12 times larger than a bull orca and has intelligence as sharp as any of the megadolphins. He's the closest thing his world has to Primal's Spear. He's lithe and muscular, with a muzzle more feline than otter. His eyes are a piercing yellow, a feature of the Feral Pods that spawned him. His flukes are narrower and lighter than a female's, designed for raw speed in a charge. In this watercolor painting by Heather Bruton, he silently waits in a kelp forest, spear at the ready, as he waits to ambush his target from the blindside. He can hold his breath over an hour, so he has the patience to wait a long time, waiting for maximum advantage... Do not challenge mel-Lothann lightly. He is a force of nature.

If this isn't peak Nimona, I literally do not know what would be. Even *mel-Lothann,* who's seen just about everything, double-takes on this bit of chaotic hilarity.

Don't FA with Nimona. The FO is a b*tch.

And they were a huge inspiration to my creation of the Halavahverse, a world of giant whale-otters that... is absolutely nothing like you'd expect a race of giant beings to be. Ghibli would take your expectations and turn them upside down... and that's what I did too.
"I'm big. *Very* big. Please don't run! I'm not here to devour and destroy Tinies like a fairy tale giant! I am here... to learn from you. To us, 'A person's a person, no matter how small.' The entire Explorer Pod is dedicated to this *one* principle." Sylia tops out at 400 feet, modestly tall for a female Halavahdon, with about 300 feet of tail tipped by an enormous pair of flukes, the paddles at the end of a whale's tail. She offers a paw of friendship to you, clasps her heart, and vows not to hurt you.
