Finally I have started the cheederian group:
In this group I will submit all my cheederian art, pages of the graphic novel and also sketches which I will not submit on my normal DA account…so it pays to become a member if you like to see more cheederians. Also fans are very welcome to submit fanart of my characters, their own cheederian characters or fanfiction. So conclusion: cheederian fans…JOIN
Updates for the rest…well I am now some kind of settled here in Norway – and I just love this country! I hope are possibilities to stay here for the rest of my life..because Norway is sooo much better than the Netherlands as it comes to nature and possibilities for biologists to work here. I'm beginning to get the language too – reading was already no problem but now I start to understand and speak a bit Norwegian too!
As it comes to art… well my tablet is dying
I had an A4 size (Wacom Intuos 3) – but a line of pixels over the whole width of my tabled makes the cursor jump…so now I reduced my active size to only A5/A6…so that's the bad news… For the rest, I'm very busy with drawing a loooot of lynx (which is a very rewarding job…one of my favourite felids I think) and I also have to draw more deer, because that's the lynx' prey.
Next to the lynx-artjob I'm working seriously now on the cheederian graphic novel! I will submit the introduction chapter in two phases I think. I have finished the first general page which only contains the title and will be a kind of intro to all my novels and the cheederian world in general – I'm pretty satisfied with that drawing
The first intro chapter will appear in a few weeks. I'm actually not sure how long the first volume will be because my fingers are actually itching to start with the stories of my Norwegian characters (including Stian) – so I think the first 'volume' will be rather short or I will do it parallel to the one of Stian and his family. Anyway the story has begun!!
Anyway I have corrected some older cheederian work and these are the ones I have corrected more or less already- I will correct some more when I have more time:
- the ones I always keep up to date are the charactersheets (especially the one of Stian... - am I obsessed?!)- they are also the best reference to take if you want to draw a cheederian -
If I once have a little bit more time and inspiration I will correct more old drawings as well - especially the anatomy sheets need to be updated!
Cheederians (
Metafelis lamnis) are large mammals of the order carnivora, family Felidae, and have the appearance of a powerful and mighty predator. They are build for stalking, a quick acceleration at high speed, making quick, flexible jumps and taking down large prey. The average cheederian looks like a feline hybrid (a hybrid between the extreme type Siamese and Oriental longhair, Eurasian lynx and tiger) with the size of a horse, large retractile claws and a large braincage. This highly cognitive species is able to use metaphysic energy for advanced techniques. They use their energy-sensitive lightals (little metal blades on their ears and muzzle) for this. The cheederians roam the Northern hemisphere with the highest density in the Rocky Mountains, Scandinavia, Siberia and the Alps. Cheederians live mainly solidtary or in pairs but can have friend and family bonds as well - however they all time hunt alone or in pairs - group hunting is a rare exception. They do not depend on the society but create common information and metaphysics resources they call 'cities'. The advanced cognitive abilities and highly developed language makes them very anthropomorphic at as it comes to behaviour. However, cheederians also show behaviour typical for felids, like purring and meowing like sounds

You can meet some of my cheederian characters here on DA, which all have an individual storyline and personality. My most 'dear' characters are Stian, Morten, Falkner, Matthias, Goran and Noiro....but it is hard to select my favs...
I hope I'll once succeed to write an illustrated novel of the main storylines...More about the novel in process, see here below
Talk about and with cheederians on my roleplay forum
Cheederian Tracks !!
Since the cheederian species has rapidly evolved recently, only the most recent drawings representative for the cheederian as feline species. In the older drawings they are by far to canine and my drawing technique really sucked before... Meet my some of my most dear cheederian characters
There excist dozens of characters in my story, but these ones are my dearest. Their personality is very clear and they are like my 'friends'...especially Stian, Morten, Falkner and Noiro.
Stian, Morten, Matthias
Falkner, Noiro, Goran
