neshirys:

Mr. Hermit [for a few ones Hazam] is a very mysterious merchant who travels from place to place with his stall full of various treasure goodies. Depending on given conditions, he decides if it’s worth to settle down for a while and convert his business to a bigger shop of wonders.

Mr. Hermit is cultivated and dignified, he doesn’t talk much but when he does, his speech is rather formal and polite, like his behaviour. He follows true art of haggling and treats clients with respect and expects the same in return. In his free time he reads (many many) books or listens to stories of travellers who visit the area.

But you know something is off.. His eyes seem to be able to pierce your soul to the point you feel vulnerable. The smile seems to mask the wilderness of his hidden thoughts. His knowledge is so vast and calculations so fast that even a small talk with him can make you feel confused. His presence somehow commands respect and you don’t know exactly why you are so sure he’s someone you shouldn’t anger or disappoint under any circumstances. And you’re not wrong as he’s alert to ill-bred behaviour and easily detects bad intentions.

Local fables tell stories about mythical jinn, desert demons, powerful alchemists, time travellers and ancient magic hermits. This eccentric man gives you strange vibes and you start to connect the dots that maybe his official handle and presence are not just catchy business tactics..

// This excellent reference sheet allowed me to make a gift set of Mr. Hermit.
Stats:
Made using GraphicConverter 6.7.9 on a 2009 MacBook Pro using a touchpad, 1px cursor, and 1000% zoom (I don’t know how much longer I’ll be able to boot up that computer)
Set base (the Hazam_neutral expression, top left) took about 1 hour to make, finished the other expression over the course of several more hours across the next three days (I was also working on finishing a different set at the same time, which is why it took that long)
There is actually one additional expression not in this sheet, bringing the total to 41 expressions
It was nice to finish another set and fulfill the offer I made so long ago to make an emoticon set based on Neshi’s amazing characters. She has been sent all the individual files and can use them as she likes. I hope you all enjoy and check out more of her art!
Thank you!
