HITHERE

IMFRIENDLY

The working idea so far is ‘creatures designed to be guardians of some other species, find themselves with humans as wards instead, don’t quite understand what a human would percieve as Silly And Nonthreatening’

There’s a subplot about the world/dimension they’re from being a casualty of war - some of the surviving HITHEREs being untainted and some being victims of a type of eldritch rabies that causes them to abandon their nurture/protect programming in Quite Spectacular Ways

some advanced symptoms of the “eldritch rabies” include those bulging eye veins (“veins”) and nerve/wormlike tendrils poking thru the pupil/iris. Particularly advanced infections probably see these things shambling around with tendrils pouring from eyes mouth ears, et cetera

a frog free to color!! @ me if you do, would be super fun to see // some kinda neato horsebug // THE GAL (vamp tigs)(and her terrible fashion sense) // mafia tigs (and her creepy not-eyes) // Kjell’s boyo Neil // [deep sigh] dont ask… “Professor Fern” // sky’s too bright for you anymore (lost bees lucifer luke i guess) // mafia luke faces. i dislike the ‘use the same head base for different expressions’ technique but it’s useful for consistency at least // uh. god. jeez. eretz luke silliness. i just dig the sweeps and swoops.

vaguely experimental mafia lukes, purely for a lark:

a missed appointment, a snide remark, a workday lasting til after dark.
