“All that I've been taught // And every word I've got // Is foreign to me” — Hozier, Foreigner’s God
Aka "nooo dont grieve the life you spent running away from everything and wish you could go back to that life of uncertainty, where you constantly wonder if you can survive another day, rather than stand in the middle of a civil war which has nothing to do with you, you're so cool and sexy you're literally the mythical hero of a land where everyone detests your kind ahahahh"
A silly drawing of my Bosaltmer Dovahkiin, Baltana :))
I fiddled with her design a little, aka i added a different facial tattoo (which mirrors Lynwallyn's because hehe they're twins)
-> a companion piece to this older drawing of Lynwallyn
(Alternative version under the cut; possible eyestrain warning)

i ADORE yoyr skills in making characters with wildly complex personalities. how do you do it this well
THANK YOU!!! I HAVE NO FECKIN IDEA!!!
i usually just start with a concept (heehoo iterator who doesn't care for their puppet and the puppet has a blankie thrown over it and there's creepy peepy teefs under there) and then built off from that (the character now leads death itself to its family no matter how much it hurts and tears away at it because it recognizes this is ultimately the best thing that can happen to them and it Only wishes for the best for its family cuz it loves them a lot. no matter what it will take, its family will be alright.)- OH a VERY important thing for character making is interconnecting them with other characters!!! that is literally the Most important thing Ever imo. and then details. details are what build the complexity!
the more interactions with other characters and the world you put the peepo thru, the more shaped they will be, i suppose? while still keeping a core idea very clear
also taking inspirations from other characters and then remixing n combining these different inspirations is a valid thing to do. one of Notos' big inspirations is, for example, Wednesday Addams from that netflix show! sometimes the inspiration comes from a certain pack of feelings i get from a song/situation, like for example Zephyr and Johanka by Brotosauři/Joan of Arc in general. Johanka and where i first heard it, the way i first sung it, was already full of so many things that simply applying it to Zephyr gave her a complex personality
and as always -claps- don't forget to give your character low points and weaknesses. but ALSO don't forget to give them their shining moments and strengths

YUP definitely don’t want to even face this season so I am here to think about the idea i first screamed about with @skeletoncowboys about Mand’alor Din who is cursed to be an mythosaur and stays hidden in the living waters.
He peeks his head out of the water to watch you play with the baby. He loves hearing Grogu and you laugh together and watching how patiently you talk to the kid. Your short presence here already feels as if he’s seeing a sun light up the caverns for the first time and Din is halfway in love with you
One night when the weather on mandalore gets too dangerous to head back to your ship you instead setup a small makeshift camp there in the mines. He is so hesitant to get close to you but he wants, feels this incredible need, to keep you warm. So very hesitantly, mythosaur Din ends up crawling out of the waters so he can curl around you and Grogu to keep you both safe and warm
Of course you wake up and find this creature you believed was just a myth instead is very real and now protectively wrapped around you while the baby is happily asleep cuddled on the beast’s head
