figaroo

Figaroo is a character I developed by “mistake” – classroom doodles that led to a small following on deviantart.com once upon a time.

The other members of the Volucris who share this southern continent include the emerald-feathered farmers known as the Viridis, and the secretive and dangerous race of of silver-feathered mountain-dwelling Aregenti. The arid northern continent is ruled by the seafaring and swarthy Aeris, who – depending on their trading alliances – could swing the ruling of the southern continent from the Aurum to the Aregenti….
