Drawing Ideas Suggested to Me Part 4: Garou realises his feelings for Eiko.
To say that he was dragged kicking and screaming by the romantic part of his mind to this realisation is an understatement haha!
And yeah...so...Garou and Eiko's relationship progression was enemies->friends with benefits->soulmates so there was a lot of hanky panky going on before any confessions =^.^=
The version with the NSFW image in full is here (I would appreciate if minors DNI with my NSFW artworks!)
What's that? The smell of rose petals drifting on the wind... Romance is in the air for Atelier Hylia: Volume 2! Get it for free this Valentine's Day!~
I ended up a little busier today then I expected, so I won't be able to make the list of quotes on the bracket and the runner-ups until I get back from camping on Monday. I was hoping to get that done that before I closed nominations, so everyone could see the options, but ig that's not happening. Sorry!
In other news, the form to submit nominations for the Best Mechanisms Quote/Line bracket will be closed in less than a day, so if you have any last minute additions, now's your chance! The bracket itself will start on Monday June 5th!!
I absolutely love the way you draw Neogis. They’re a weird, niche, underutilized monster without any kind of exceptional lore, but their design is so unique. I appreciate the way you’ve… what’s the word? domesticated maybe? made them more approachable and like they’re just another weird creature in the planescape rather than just another unilaterally evil slaver empire.
Also your drawings of them give off weird dogs vibes. I love it.
okay, would you believe that i was literally working on designing neogi variants for my spelljammer campaign when i got this ask? i promise i was.
this ask made my day. thank you!! <3
anyway, i wholeheartedly agree with you--personally i don't feel they were often utilized in interesting ways, and i really hate that thing that early d&d does where they make a species that's entirely evil except for one guy who is, inexplicably, a bartender. i've rewritten most of that underwhelming lore for the campaign i'm running, and in the process hopefully allowed room for the neogi to be realistic people, like anybody else, instead of a particularly nasty monolith. "approachable" is a good way to put it!
i hope it's a change my players enjoy. i'm certainly having fun with it.
honestly, it's their design that i love. i love weird animal mashups (thank you, pokemon) and speculative biology. i honestly could not resist overhauling that design and doing my own thing with it for this campaign. i'm so glad other people enjoy it too! weird dog vibes indeed.
probably not safe to pet one without asking first, though.
