[Art] But Maybe... the Heart of a Halla

by Calyptra

Summary:

Davrin Week 2025 & other Davrin art!

Notes:

Heyhey! For those that don't have tumblr :) I love Davrin so much, so here's any art of him that I've made recently! I'll make them into separate chapters so it doesn't take too long to load. Hope you enjoy it! <3

Chapter 1: Fireball

Davrin and my Rook, who you might know from Tension Unresolved, But Changed!

Chapter 2: Character Portrait

Summary:

Reminded me of an oldschool Origins-type character portrait :)

Chapter 3: Sunset

Summary:

A bit more sketchy! My contributions to Davrin Week are coming right up after this one.

Chapter 4: Davrin Week Day 1 - Shepherd

Summary:

On day 1, the prompts were either shepherd or hunter - I went with the former!

Chapter 5: Davrin Week Day 2 - Eyes of an Eagle...

Summary:

Today's prompt was 'Eyes of an Eagle, Roar of a Lion, Heart of a Halla'. Here it is!

Chapter 6: Davrin Week Day 3 - The Joining

Summary:

I chose 'The Joining' as the prompt for this day. Young Davrin! (Although I also made a quick contribution for 'The Calling', but not how you think...)

Chapter 7: Davrin Week Day 3 - Bonus! The Calling

Summary:

This one is a little silly, I drew it very quickly before I went on holiday because there was a lot of beautiful but really heart-shatteringly sad the Calling art on my tumblr dashboard, and I wanted to bring a bit of silliness too :) So, what's all this about the Calling?

Chapter 8: Davrin Week Day 4 - Fatherhood

Summary:

Today's prompts were either fatherhood or childhood. I like to think that Davrin helps to raise new generations of griffons! Someone on tumblr commented 'featherhood' and I thought that was so funny and sweet!

Chapter 9: Davrin Week Day 5 - Bestiary

Summary:

Woodworking, bestiary, or singing were the prompts. I thought it'd be nice to show Davrin out on a field trip :)

Chapter 10: Davrin Week Day 6 - The Road Less Traveled

Summary:

'Thrill of the Chase', or 'The Road Less Traveled'. Went with the latter! Featuring my Rook. This is a scene from chapter 54 of Tension Unresolved, But Changed.

Chapter 11: Davrin Week Day 7 - Free Day

Summary:

Made two pieces for this day! One of them is Davrin with a few well-deserved earrings, the other is a collection of anatomy studies, with conveniently placed fig leaves...

Chapter 12: Griffon Delivery

Summary:

This might be my favorite so far. I just found the perfect reference image online and knew I had to draw Davrin and Assan like that.

Chapter 13: Warden Fatigues

Summary:

Saw someone on tumblr asking if someone could mod Davrin into the Warden fatigues. I didn't know how, but I can draw a little, so I tried my hand at it. He does look very young here I think, almost like he's getting his picture taken for his first day as a Warden haha.

I've also added my first sketch because I think it's very funny, he kinda looks like a cardboard cutout...

Chapter 14: Rook

Summary:

Ok, a sneaky little Rook in between, from Tension Unresolved, But Changed :) And my contribution to the 'OC in the ballroom' ask game that was going around on tumblr! She's not super comfortable in dresses but she doesn't mind them that much, in the end (especially if Davrin's nearby).

With that, I'm caught up in terms of art for now - I know a few people are subscribed to my account, hope I didn't barrage you with emails by uploading this backlog of art... and if so, sorry! <3

Chapter 15: 'Quick' drawing

Summary:

Every time, I tell myself: 'let's just do a quick, 15 minute drawing or so, and then I'll make dinner'. What ends up happening is that it's suddenly 1.5 hours later.... but at least I had fun! Davrin and my Rook from Tension Unresolved, But Changed :)
