Chronikin Spotlight: Magada are seldom seen in groups due to being intensely territorial. This aggression extends to anyone braving their often inhospitable domains and they'll attack all who approach, despite being rather small themselves. Fortunately, they are only ever typically found near Amajima's volcanoes, hot springs and other geothermal locations. Their bodies are bright orange and slender, appearing almost amphibian, tucked away into a black, hard urn-shaped shell. The shell, which resembles igneous rock, can be fully retreated into. However, Magada seem to prefer lashing out, spewing heat and bolts of lava at its foes.

Despite being such an aggressive Chronikin, many Archivist search them out, claiming that the trials associated with bonding are a sign of divine providence. Due to this, they are often associated in many creation myths of Amajima.

@bmodoart the snail in question 🐌

[Jay Mac @JayMac_Slacking]

I think I'm getting the hang of this digital art thing. I just needed to find brushes that are basically just pencils 😆 Working on some of the field research sketches for the Archivist that is referenced in my game. He saw a fire snail and called it an Ember Shell.

[Jay Mac @JayMac_Slacking]

Man, I can't wait to show this bad boy off. The team did a fantastic job.

Chronikin Spotlight: Garbin appear ancient even by Zarakarian standards. Once thought to be Nature aspect, due to the large tree trunks sprouting out of its back, it has now been observed that they are in fact the Geo aspect. The trees erupting from their backs are petrified and thus more stone than wood, while the draping moss seems secondary to its anatomy. Garbin seem docile due to their slow meandering. However, they are quick to aggression, savagely protecting the cedar forests of the Zarakari Mountains. Despite their aggressive nature, once bonded, a Garibin offers fevered protection towards its allies. Many priests of Zarakarian holy sites use them as guardians.

Sunday night relaxation. Not sure if I'll beat OG OoT before the remake releases but that's ok. It's such a good game to take your time in.

[Jay Mac @JayMac_Slacking]

Man, I love going through boxes and finding my old gems. Best WoW expansion, IMO.

[Jay Mac @JayMac_Slacking]

@SaamaraDraws @bmodoart Oh thanks for pointing that out! Didnt realize it was blank.

Got another concept done. Sarumichi is his name! The thing on his head is a large tairagai (Japanese pen shell) that he uses as a club. This Chronikin underwent an entire concept shift and was originally named Akurasoku.

[Jay Mac @JayMac_Slacking]

@BoltTheWord Thanks! He's based off of Sarutahiko, a Kami that guarded the road to heaven. He inspired the Tengu.

[Jay Mac @JayMac_Slacking]

It's sometimes a little embarrassing seeing my initial sketches along side the awesome end product from our artists. However, it is my design and I can't help feeling an immense sense of pride seeing my creatures getting the love and attention they deserve.

[BlackMackStudios @COM_BlackMack]

The evolution of design, our Chronikin start in the sketch book of our creative director and end in the hands of our amazingly talented artists. Some Chronikin go through several redrafts until we feel like we've completely captured the myths that inspire them.
