leshy fanart!

plus some yellow cat. Still working on their design. But I'm pretty happy with this so far.

I wanna do more work on yellow cat in general. I like the idea of the camellias in their tail. Kinda like it got stuck in the thick fur when gardening? I can see leshy trying to take a bite from their tail

Top image is my version of the official art of him playing the flute. Thought it would be a good reference.

Also, leshy is totally going to eat the flower crown when yellow cat isn't looking. (Im going to need a name for them...)

The reading comprehension and overall common sense on this website is piss poor.

i had a dream i worked in an underwater restaurant and people kept ordering ice in their drinks and then getting mad at me when it would float away. and i’d tell them beforehand that the ice would float away & they’d be like lol no that’s not how it works just give me the ice. I’m fighting customer service battles never seen before

Gortash: what were you and your butler prattling about?

Durge: oh, it was mostly sceleritas. But he mentioned you.

Gortash: great. What does he want?

Durge: nothing important. Just wants us to cease all communication with each other.

Gortash: for what reason?

Durge: does it matter?

Gortash: absolutely.

Durge: he believes you're getting in the way of my duties. Moreover, you're a baneite.

Gortash: he wants us to separate ways because I worship bane?

Durge: and because you're an intrusion. But of course.

Gortash: he serves you, why is he ordering you around?

Durge: he is not.

Gortash: yes he is.

Durge: he is just making sure I fulfill my duties, father doesn't look on favour of disappointment.

Sceleritas: that is correct milady, your father wants the best for you, and so do I.

Gortash: gods, were you here this whole time?

Sceleritas: milady, would you not so kindly tell the banite that I do not converse with worshippers of your father's foes.

Durge: he can hear you fel, you're right next to him.

Sceleritas: I see that, I simply refuse to acknowledge him.

Gortash: your butler is unpleasant.

Sceleritas: your inscrutable countenance makes me want to vomit my insides into the bucket of bhaal.

Gortash: so you finally acknowledge me.

Sceleritas: master, I beg of you, slay the tyrant.

Durge: we need him fel.

Sceleritas: there are innumerable amounts of banites, eradicate him, and i would be so proud.

Gortash: kill him, he called me ugly.

Sceleritas: did I stutter?

Draw from diverse mediums: Engage with art, music, or even scientific papers to inspire unexpected plot twists.

Embrace absurdity: Let illogical or surreal ideas guide you; sometimes the wildest thoughts lead to compelling stories.

Reverse clichés: Identify common tropes in your favorite genres and deliberately invert them to create fresh perspectives.

Incorporate personal anomalies: Transform your idiosyncrasies and personal struggles into rich, multi-dimensional characters.

Use mind-mapping: Visually plot your ideas in a freeform way to uncover hidden connections between disparate elements.
