THE FOOL
| New beginnings | Innocence | Opportunity | Spontaneity |
He sets out on this new adventure, following and guided by the two new people in his life. They offer loyalty, protection and encouragement to continue on and learn the lessons he needs to learn. The mountains in the background symbolise the challenges ahead, but he keeps his eyes forward. The white flower in his pocket represents purity and innocence - the Fool, only in that the world has not made him cruel and bitter.

Okay benchmark test is go, I'm honestly not sure how to feel about this.
Loading up his saved apperance data he isn't that bad. Eyes are kinda funny but he's kinda cute. But after checking the current Hawu'li I uh, do not like the changes anymore.
First (left) is CURRENT Hawu'li, second (right) is BENCHMARK
My poor child, what did they do to you...... New one looks so tired? Skintone is a bit funny but I'll put that on the current lighting (took the screenshot facing the wrong way oops). But his eyes???? He has the eyeshape that's biggest/most open and he still has that half-lidded sleepy look??? Lips are almost same but lost that signature catboy :3 with the upturned corners, and nose looks (at least from front) a bit more squished. And his little eye shine.... now he looks like a dead fish :c

Gelnek Goes to a Gala
More Dan Jones & Dragons art! This time their glorious Double Leader, Gelnek (played by the inimitable JoCat) all fancied up in his best Goblin party-attire.
More Flower Crowns Gala Outfits:
Morenthal | Hobson
Design talk under the cut:
Unlike with Morenthal’s outfit (which was mostly drawn from Dan and Gamb’s official stream design) I thought it would be a fun challenge to take the chaos of JoCat’s Gala outfit brief for Gelnek (a large fluffy fur coat and stacked tower of Cowboy, Pork-pie and Trilby hats) and try to render out something fashion-adjacent.
Figure-wise, I wanted to push the broadness of Gelnek’s build and body-shape, since Jo introduced him as being atypically bulked-up for a Goblin (to the point that he sometimes gets almost-mistaken for an odd-looking Dwarf) and charging Hobson down like small green boar during their first training spar. I thought it would be fun to lean into him being a stocky bundle of muscle compared to how Goblins are typically drawn.
For the coat, I liked the idea of taking men’s fashion-furs and giving him a long-cut trench-style coat with a big fur ruff around the collar. Really fluff the guy up with an impressive “beast-coat” that makes him look even bulkier.
Gelnek’s under-coat situation wasn’t described, so I went with a close-fit black two-piece since I figured that could help emphasise his actual silhouette without being too visually busy, and might make some fun strong shapes if I wanted to draw him in more dynamic situations later. I also gave him a few sash-belts with some of his hunt-trophies pinned on (the Voidcrystal Snail-eye, a Wyvern Tooth from their fight on the Javelin and Trilby’s gifted Dragon-Scale button), just to keep the under-outfit from getting too conventional.
Hat wise, there’s not much that can be done to rein in the “putting a hat on a hat” effect of the Trilby on Porkpie on Cowboy tower, so I just tidied them up a little with some nice complementary colours and bands that coordinated with the rest of the ensemble. The Cowboy brim and long coat combo ended up giving him some strong gunslinger energy, which is kinda fun for a traveling war-bard.
For his hair, I wanted to neaten up his big mess of fluffy curls for the formal setting, without going the same slicked-back conventional-imperial-common route that Hobson and Morenthal were already sporting. Since Gelnek’s birth-tribe come from a swampy region and places a lot of cultural importance on headwear, I thought it might be fitting to do him up with some neat protective braids.
Gelnek’s shoe situation was an interesting one since canonically he doesn’t wear them. I didn’t want to deprive him of his quest for the perfect shoe, but also figured he would need something to avoid the standard “no shoes, no service” rule at formal events, so I ended up pulling inspiration from Across the Spiderverse and giving him some Pavitr Prabakar-style foot-wraps with a bit of fancy gold trim to match the sash and middle hat.
I also decided to rep’ his drum-shield, seeing as Gelnek ended up being allowed to bring it into the venue. It’s barely visible in the final drawing but a good quarter of his thumbnail page was notes on how do drum-shield work? In my head I see it as something like a kettledrum set inside a convex round-shield/Dhal that lets him beat the drumhead while keeping the shield between him and danger. I also like the idea of him being able to play the shield part like a handpan.
Bonus look at his sketch layers because this man's hats and physicality fought me harder than he fights drakes:

Digimon Adventure ~ J.P.N Version
~ Episode 39
+ Izumi Koushiro{u}'s Parent
+ Kido Shin (Jou's 2nd eldest Sibling)
"Don't say such {negative} things!
I {b e l i e v e} in these children!"
- Koushiro's parent, referring to Koushiro and,
the "Chosen Children" as a Whole, (including Jou)
"It'll be all right, Nii-san.
We'll make {absolutely} sure the s u n does 'come up'!"
-Kido Jou, after overhearing from afar, Triumphant-like

Original commentary,
Image Usage & Interaction rules under the 'read more'!
My Commentary:
This small but significant sequence takes place not long after Koushiro is revealed to be a canon Adoptee. Mrs. Izumi is fully aware that Koushiro has accepted Mrs. Izumi (+Izumis both) as Koushiro's true parent{s},
however, we are not given indication that the other supporting characters were actually told about 'the secret' of Koushiro's.
Shin's surprise, in that regard, can hardly be held too much against Shin - which Mrs. Izumi eventually quickly recognizes, dropping the argument and frustration - Shin was likely completely unaware how strongly Mrs. Izumi felt during these moments,
while Mrs. Izumi was likely running on pure adrenaline responding!
Mrs. Izumi, in the original version, is also using
a neutrally polite speech pattern that is overall appropriate when speaking to children;
Koushiro, in the original, is also known for speaking throughout the entire series with a formal and polite pattern that is "unusual" for Koushiro's age,
while it's more "typical" for Mrs. Izumi to use similar in this sequence.
Shin Kido, Jou's 2nd eldest sibling closer in age,
the 2nd born of the three Kidos,
is the sibling who appears throughout
Adventure Episodes 35~39 and later Adventure-specific episodes (such as flashback sequence in Dark Masters arc) specifically.
In the 2nd sequel series, "02",
Jou's oldest sibling, Shuu, was introduced.
The U. S. dub combined "Shin" and "Shuu" into "Jim",
a singular character,
but they were actually two separate siblings!
(Thus, Jou is speaking to Shin as if Shin is the younger of the two siblings, addressing Shin commonly with a 'casual' "Nii-san",
though in this scene, Jou sounds surprisingly more 'assured' and perhaps a slight bit 'full of' self, but is quickly grounded by Sora and Mimi not long after.)
