over on patreon Amy Crook wanted gryffyn pin-ups which was combined with calls for eldritch beings, shapeshifters, and teeth from Tama and Camille Alexander. i was told any Bird/animal specifically so i went with one classic girl and 2 other perfectly normal ladies.
they’re all chicken gryffyns because i do what i want.
First up is a little farm hen. She’s chicken/barn cat and she’s a little beat up from years of venturing out into the woods and dealing with her flock’s volatile pecking order. Small and round, but hardy. Has been sent out to deal with various strange dangers ever since all the roosters disappeared a while back. Has maybe gotten too close to the things in the woods but no one questions her because she’s a little too strong to bully now.
Next is a chicken/fox gryffyn who’s a little overdressed for the middle of the woods but she does run a casino so one must keep up appearances. Loves a nice fur stole or feather boa. Has no idea what happened to all the roosters but it was probably something sudden and mundane. Some people just have…an unlucky moment.
Last is a chicken/unidentified dinosaur gryffyn who is an undying and ever evolving daughter of an old god. She was one of the eggs in the whole ‘chicken or the egg’ thing and it’s probably fine that she’s just. Around.
Idea: Male-exclusive race in a fantasy setting or mmorpg catered to man lovers
Designed simarily to how female-exclusive races are depicted: beautifully ageless, mysterious, constantly oggled by humans, and the opposite sex is either extremely rare or doesn’t exist (Gerudo, Asari, Viera, Amazonians).
Ancient Greek theme - created from lovingly sculpted enchanted stone.
Called Sparstones (Spartan + Stone).
Handsome but dumb as rocks.
Skin tones are obsidian, marble, bronze, gemstone etc.
Worships gorgons as their goddesses (Medusa, Sthenos, & Euryale).
To honour the petrifying gaze of their deities, Sparstones naturally pose and serve face when looked at.
Wears skimp- i mean gladiator armour
Due to their inability to swim or breathe, they can build peaceful cities underwater and are good neighbours with mermaids.
Despite their hypermasculine appearances and possessing the lowest INT stat compared to other races, Sparstones are primarily spellcasters - a result of their magical nature as Goddess-enchanted stones.
The Sparstone’s leader is made of molten gold, dripping with fine jewelery, and is the first known woman of their race. Her name is Midas.
Was inspired by the photo comp of roll flower tattoos floating around recently (credit to Carrie Metz-Caporusso)
I think Bob’s the guy you wouldn’t expect to have tattoos until you think about it for more than a second and go “oh, yeah, duh”
Anyways, Bob’s self-deprecating attitude is no match against Helmut’s ultimate counterattack: loving smooches
Full image description under the cut
ID: A comic of older Bob and Helmut. Bob has just taken off his shirt when he’s surprised by Helmut saying “Hey! I forgot you’d gotten those sweet tattoos!” There is a shot of Bob’s back showing that he has a large tattoo design that has faded over time: a green music bar stretches across the width of his back while it swirls off into vines and leaves, and orange flowers are dotted across the design. Bob looks behind himself as he says “Oh, yeah. I’d nearly forgot too.” Bob holds his shirt as he looks off to the side, and Helmut is laying down behind him with his chin resting on his hands. Helmut is looking at Bob’s tattoo adoringly, and has figments of the orange flowers along with multicolored hearts popping up around his head. Bob looks a bit embarrassed and says “It doesn’t really suit me much anymore, huh? S’probably all faded and gross—“ Bob is then caught off guard and blushes furiously as Helmut kisses one of the flowers on his back. End ID.
