It's been a million years since I've worked on my Felisian project. (a friend called me the Tolken of cat people). During my time at Real Networks doing football, I've had a chance to work on ALOT of Feli stuff. I wrote biographies of all my main characters, drew model sheets for all of them, figured out the geography of Felitika (the Felisapian home world) and have been developing a language. Mostly it's just nouns, but out of pure nerdiness, I wrote and translated a poem.
' behind an e is supposed to be over the e, but I don't know how to type that.
M'are' Cele'feli....................I am the light of the people
M'are' Aqua Delare'.................I am the water of life
M'are' Popo Shohk...................I am the strong father
M'are' Ne'ne' Phe'..................I am the beautiful mother
Du Soles M'ser......................The suns are my eyes
Aquaiis M'uma.......................The seas are my womb
Magdar Ke'to........................Darkness is the ending
Pyr Roura...........................The fire is seductive
Del Tika Mage' Shohk................We are the saviors
Hora Shaw...........................Time is a journey
Feli Kitah Are' Irih................Children are gifts
Irih Pyr Terda I'th.................Bring fire to the ice lands
Irih Aquarr Niihosh.................Bring water to the desert
Rit-ha Aquarr Hosh..................Quench your thirst
Niiare' Are' Phe'...................Live free and in peace
M'are' Cele'feli....................I am the light of the people
M'are' Y'tika.......................I have made you a home
Basically, how I created this was in middle school and highschool when I was bored and busy being unpopular and certains words sounded cool so I named planets and stuff and then noticed similarities and figured out what they meant. Then I started messing around and created more words. I have like 80 words and some phrases. Like Ne' is female or girl, Ne'ne' is mother. Shorim is wise, so Ne'ne'shor is grandmother.
I've also created some fauna (animals) native to the planet. My thought are that since the sentient races on the planet are all mammalian, so the other animals are all reptils and birds. Of course there are fish in the water and all sorts of invertabrates, but they don't interest me as much.
Other things that are upcoming are all my maps that I've been creating, including georgraphical and political. I also started writing a basic world history summary, and created an explorer like Magellan who sails are the continents and thereby discovers new kingdoms and cities, evetually establishing trade routes. At some point I'll use the model sheets I've created as a way to display samples of traditional Felisian dress as localized by kingdom.
Sorry I have no cool images for you today.
