secondly! my question: I noticed that your Gabbro design has what seems to be Hearthian writing on their earrings, and it got me wondering if its supposed to say anything

have a nice day ::)

Hello!! And thank you! <3

Oh yeah Gabbros earrings! Gabbros earrings are made of paper so I think they have a ton of different ones that they wear.

Speaking from the artist view though, the one with hearthian writing doesn't actually say anything- theres other ones with writing on them too but again they don't actually say anything. I've made it my personal goal to draw/write something different on Gabbros earrings everytime I draw them lol! or I just leave them blank

leviathans! among other things ofc ::]

these are super rough concepts so bear with me here-

Honestly I just really like the idea of the other planets having some sort of life so, yeah-

also, just keep in mind, the creatures on ember twin are so much worse.

here's a close up of a leviathan face scale that gabbro wears on a choker they made. The leviathans are dark blue and green mostly, to blend in with the waters on giants deep

bonus other critters

Is there someone that raises the animals that others adopt from? Or are they just found in the wild and adopted?

Also any fun stories on how any characters found their pet? :]

HI

Hm! I'm sure there's someone, or multiple people who raise and foster animals in the village! But I also think it's pretty common for a hearthian to just find their pet outside and take them home

for example, feldspar found stick outside behind a tree- and slate found redwood under a sheet of metal one day- meanwhile gossan and porphy adopted sequoia from someone who was fostering them! so in short, both-

As for fun stories.. I'm working on something about Sequoia right now which I'll post at some point

BUT! Here's a story, Redwood is a super antisocial and, well, mean cave cat. They don't like people petting them or being around them, and most of the time they're hiding in a dark corner or under slates furniture. However, if Slate were to get sick or hurt, Redwood would curl up next to Slate and not leave their side until Slate was feeling better, during that time redwood would even let Slate pet them

the eye thing (plz, I am intrigued 👀)

aaaaaaaaaaa jeez, yeah

So I wanted to do a comic of my aus eye thing for gossan, and I started the comic and just kinda- stopped? because I wasn't sure how to actually do it, I've got like 2 panel very roughly sketched but I think at this point I just need to restart-

in the meantime, have a sketch of patched up gossan
