Uhhhh deeply sorry that there's no search bar, but Ctrl + F is right there, good luck buddy

Why is it called "Proto Livastia?" Good question, hypothetical confused individual. I call the early days of Livastia by this name because it's a period of its development where I really didn't take it seriously at all, and thus a large chunk of the art from this time depicts lore and events that were retconned or don't exist anymore. For example, an MAI/Vehicle LAI used to be able to be literally anything - WWI tank, excavator, cargo ship, you name it. Now, however, with further thought and development, these concepts that were once true no longer exist in Livastia canon unless under rare and odd exception.

Proto Livastia, as a matter of fact, was actually initially created as a joke of sorts. The first MAI to ever exist, Kelly Segal, and the first proper LAI to ever exist, Lazarus Sasaki, were at one point nothing more than gag characters that I made as a silly "what if" type of thing. Aren't you glad that I started seriously thinking about the reasons for their existance in a serious manner and getting myself sucked into a multi-year running worldbuilding project? Don't answer that that's a rhetorical.

12-31-2018	traditional	EVERY MAI BIRTHDAY: HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY EVERY MAI EVER - sadly this tidbit fact isn't true now, but the event is actually a real canon thing. It's like MAI have two birthdays; their actual day of activation, then the "birth" of their clade AKA "the day of mass awakening," which did take place on December 31st, 1995.
12-28-2018	traditional	Alexander Sketches: together breakfast! But yeah this is when I decided to turn Alexander into a Livastian rather than remain a standalone character
12-23-2018	traditional	[REVISED]Kelly Loon Kis: They did it again, those mad lads! I think this is close to the end of the dragon version era lmaoo
12-23-2018	traditional	Christmas Tree Helper: they're just borrowing it they're gonna replant it later ok - hence the tree still having its bulb
12-22-2018	traditional	Excavator Buddies: I'm actually still obsessed with these guys they're so shaped - only thing that would be different now from when I drew this to modern lore, would be that instead of being standalone LAI, these two excavators would be remote controlled vessels.
12-18-2018	traditional	Blair Painting: kind of goes hand in hand with her day job as a tattoo artist, which is also pictured
12-17-2018	traditional, watercolors	[REVISED]Adrik and Nikita Under Mistletoe: kind of evil that I made them have so much height disparity that they couldn't touch guns - don't worry their redesigns fix that
12-16-2018	traditional	T-14 Armata Sketch: I just think they're extremely shaped
12-13-2018	traditional	Plane Bed: god I wish that were me
12-12-2018	traditional	Roto Or Zonnie?: I don't know, I didn't add their serial number - Schrodinger's sibling
12-11-2018	traditional	Hoss Sketch: Ah yes my dear little guy that's the same age as every other member of the tank pack but he acts like a grumpy old man
12-10-2018	traditional	[REVISED]Kelly And Adrik Friendship Bracelets: another doodle set from a RP, Kelly and a few others were making friendship bracelets and Adrik was curious about em right
12-04-2018 thru 12-09-2018	traditional	Vera and Sabina Sketches: Other members of the tank pack, although I hardly ever draw them in recent times.
12-04-2018	traditional	Otto Startled: Don't scare him!! He's already an anxious kinda guy!
12-03-2018	traditional	LAI Concepts: Can you tell that I saw the Spot Mini grabber arm - also funny little bird drone, because birds aren't real right. Also a slight variation of the standard E-20 unit.
12-02-2018	traditional	Small Apollo Sketch
12-01-2018	traditional	Kelly My City Now: He didn't stutter! Again!
12-01-2018	traditional	Ditched Comic: Short angsty comic that I never finished of an ufortunately common occurrence out in the field during WWIII; crews having to abandon their MAI as a result of critical mechanical failures. Normally, they'd do everything possible to return to the area and aid their charges after combat, but this was sometimes difficult, especially if it was a losing battle.
11-29-2018	traditional	[REVISED]Adrik Three Quarter Sketch: Ohh he's a little angry tho...
11-28-2018	traditional	[REVISED]Genesis Side Sketch
