And here's Aolan. Erm...do me a favor and tell me how you'd pronounce that. Cause I don't really know where it comes from and I kinda wanna know what people think about how you pronounce it.

So anyway, Aolan is another Companion, like Kali [link] and Keahi [link] created by Iliahana (IL-lee-ah-HAH-nah the goddess of knowledge). He's a hybrid between a horse (duh, again) and a swan, hence the big feathery wings (I actually used a swan picture for reference) and the black markings on his legs and muzzle, like those black markings on a swan's bill and their black feet.

And also...he's white everywhere else, so I'm not really sure about how I'm gonna color this, or even if I'm gonna. I mean, what's the point of coloring a black-and-white animal? The most I'd probably do is add a touch of color to his eyes (sky blue, unlike a real horse's eyes) and some pink around his lips, maybe. *shrug* Perhaps a background? *shudder* Tell me what you think! I might move this to scraps if I decide to color it. Hm...but the wings aren't big enough...I don't think...

Aolan is the Companion for the controller of air, Isaura (I don't have a picture of her up yet. Well, I have a picture of her when she's younger in my scraps [link] ...). She also has her own wings, 'cept hers are more like seagull wings and are more for maneuverability and quickness; she finds out the hard way that she's no good at distances, and so she has to ride Aolan to go a long way via air. His personality is the quiet, thoughtful kind with a dry sense of humor. He cares very deeply for Isaura, but unfortunately for him, she doesn't feel the same way about him.

Oh, I forgot to mention on the other pictures, but the Companions are able to control the same element as their masters, only to a much lesser degree. There's a reason for this, but I'm not gonna explain it here. Too complicated.

Wow, I really like the way you drew him. I suppose my only main issue is with the wings. They're different, and the one on the left looks kinda... like you finished it quick. I like the neck and legs, very nicely done. :D

I suffer from terrible cases of reoccuring sanity.

Hm...you know...now that I compare them, REALLY compare them, I think you're right. The wing on the right has much smoother lines, doesn't it? I'll definately have to fix that. Thank you! Really, honest critique is very much appreciated.

That is one bad-ass winged horse.

XD Thank you Tess! Hey, can you spell out for me how you'd pronounce his name? I think I'm gonna go with the most popular way.
