yoo thank you!!

i have kind of a complicated relationship with dnd design and the cultural traits some races get, they often feel too bland and default to me. i’d love to make a sort of reference sheet in the future with distinct traits for different races…

as for essek (and drow and elves in general), i really like elf designs in divinity and dragon age. not sure how noticeable it is, but i tried to give him a slightly unconventional bone structure - his eyes are set a bit wider apart and the transition from forehead to nose is smoother

sorry i got carried away thinking out loud, i just haven’t had anyone to talk about this with haha. anyway, i’m really happy when ppl noticing stuff like that x)

slow down for your disabled friends. thats like a bare minimum kindness that we shouldnt have to ask for. i love that youre so quirky and walking fast is a cool personality trait to you and all that but i bet you can count your physically disabled friends on less than one hand
