Second attack for this years Art Fight is @lavenderarts Azvol'ath The Desolation

First Art Fight attack of the year @valdevia's Clatterith

Finally got around to making a proper reference for Rorik's regular fox form, since it's the one he's in the most. He's up on artfight if you'd like to draw him in any of his forms!

I was inspired by @spookygibberish's nichtember idea and took it as an excuse to get back into doing water colours. I was too lazy to get my scanner out so the colours are a bit washed out by my phone camera.

I have a whole idea to write up entries in the style of a scholar and adventurer who is documenting these things as he explores Ila's dangerous and radioactive Bad Lands. I'll probably do that once I have a proper scan of these.

First up have a Autotroph, a large rocky fungus that feeds on uranium deposits underground and shares a symbiotic relationship with a algae which grows in a thick glassy pane across the top of it, converting sunlight to energy and exchanging nutrients with the fungal body

Secondly we have its Primary Consumer, a hamburger sized gregarious arthropod. During the wet season while the fungus is sporing they collect the fruiting bodies before they release their spores and stockpile them deep in the burrows they carve out in the body of the fungus. During lean times in the dry season they will feed on the algae mass that lives symbiotically with the fungus, it is nutritionally poor for them and if drought persists their over-consumption can lead to the death of the fungus and dispersal of the consumer.

New NPC character design dropped today for The Utvara Initiative.

Ba'Ramue and her mother Lady Ba

All Kobold names start with the name of their Dame or Sire and unlike the surface Kobolds of Ravnica, the inhabitants of the Sinkhole have remained a burrowing people with a Matriarchal lineage, so all kin share their mothers name.

Ba'Ramue is the last remaining member of Ba's first brood, and as such is in line to inherit her burrow in the future, this goes against her desires to be a worker for the rest of her life. She yearns for the mines and the humble ingot.

While Lady Ba is somewhat miffed to have lost all but one of her first brood, at least she still has one, the succession crisis would be a nightmare otherwise. She'll have time to whip Ramue into shape once the current threat that took out her other Eldest is dealt with.

New Deidre ref for Artfight including his wildly contrasting styles of dress! Doll anatomy because I can't put genitals on artfight :c
