People of Netherdyn: Dryads

Finally managed to work on another piece of concept art for my fantasy setting of After Silence. Progress has been slowed because of my new job, but I am getting back into the swing of things. This time, here is a full art of three different kinds of treefolk, the Emberwood Dryads, the Wickroot Dryads and the Reed Dryads. Which one is your favourite? You can read up on their lore right here: https://www.worldanvil.com/w/after-silence-hatwolf/a/dryads-species

Hi Anon,

Fanart of the webseries Emberwood by CamiB Studios on YouTube! This is Accalia, a quite overbearing mother.

Halloween has rolled into the sleepy town of Emberwood in the shape of a festive carnival. You and the Dufner residents (and E) have decided to take a break from the craziness in Emberwood for some well deserved reprieve. 

Dress up in a costume (or don't) and hang out with the group or your favorite RO. Remember: be sure to have fun and enjoy the lighthearted atmosphere because it does not last :)

Features:

Go ferris-wheeling with Alex

Play a stall or two with Perry

Go on a swing ride with K

Go pumpkin carving with N

Get lost in a corn maze with Dani

Grab a bite to eat with F

Go to a haunted house with E

Or engage in a very mature and adult round of hide-and-seek with the Dufner residents, but be careful: you can lose.

(This is non-canon bonus content and isn't part of the main storyline.)

RELEASE: PLAY THE SPECIAL

Some notes:

Though the individual routes take place in a non-canon point in time in which romantic feelings have been established, I have added options that aren't so...overtly romantic? Of course, it is still romance-coded, but for those who do not enjoy romance, I feel it can still be enjoyable in some way or the other.

The stories are short and sweet (at least for me), as well as the group route. The group route works in a way that you can make one choice and lose, or you can go through more than one scene before you lose. You may or may not interact with the characters depending on what you choose. It's really just a fun side story for those who do not want to play any individual character scenes, but for full transparency: the individual routes have a bit more meat in them, mostly because some of their backstories are sprinkled in the conversations (very briefly, but yk). The group route is pretty brief, mostly because I accidentally deleted a third of it in writing like last minute and wanted to rip my hair out.

ALSO: the mc is…slightly pre-set. I was not thinking of diverse options but more of just how to propel the story forward. In future specials, I think I’ll stick to bold/shy and different types of MCs, but as this is my first, I decided to go with my gut haha

there’s really no trigger warnings except for quite a bit of cursing (and f-bombs) and F’s route has to do with eating. So there will be mentions of food and eating ! Please be wary of that! <3

As always, as I do not have beta testers (yet) if you find errors, typos or formatting problems or any of that sort, please let me know and I'll fix them asap. This is just a fun side piece I did, so please don't take it too seriously!

Please give it a look and wishlist and share it if you can 💖

Author's Notes: I have this image in my head of Baz running towards someone with their arms out, wanting to hug the person then stopping just before they actually do bc Baz remembered they have to ask if they can hug people. If given the okay they give the biggest, comfiest hug ever. They even slightly lift the person off the ground. @emberwood-if I'm gonna tag you every time I post one of these lolol

~~~~

Dani: I hardly slept last night.

Cass: When you can't sleep, it means someone is thinking about you.

Dani: Who the hell is thinking about me at three in the morning?

Cass: [gay panic]

~~~~

December: You love me, right, E?

E: Normally, I'd say yes without hesitation, but I feel like this is going somewhere and I don't like it

~~~~

Alex: In my defense I was left unsupervised.

Perry: Wasn't F with you?

F: In my defense, Perry, I was also left unsupervised.

~~~~

Passerby, about Alex: is that person annoying you?

Adonis: Yes, but they're my partner. I signed up for this.

~~~~

Kidnapper: we have your partner.

E: You have December?

Kidnapper: Yeah.

E: Good luck with that.

~~~~

Dani: I identify as a threat. My pronouns are try/me.

~~~~

Perry: Okay, you're driving and K and F walk into the road. Quick, what do you hit?

Adonis: Oh, definitely K. I could never hurt F.

Perry, massaging his temples: The brakes. You hit the brakes.

~~~~

Adonis: Being gay is a constant battle between "I wish to sit on a window bench with my lover, our legs tangling as we listen to the birds" and "Hey, let's go throw rocks at fascists" and I think that's very sexy of us.

Alex: If the window's open and you time it right, you can do both.

~~~~

December to E: You ever wanna take a nap but the nap doesn't wanna take you

E, who was just trying to do their paperwork:

~~~~

Adonis: "You look tired" No, I'm just ugly but thanks for your concern.

~~~~

Random Narrator: "This is K. K loves their personal space."
