#fillicember

I didn’t always consistently do every day for Filli but I made it to the end with a Filli for every day so I’m proud of myself and I hope you all enjoyed this as much as I did 💖

This is unfortunately the officially illustrated version of Filli by Marc McBride, who illustrates all the Deltora Quest books. Despite this it also is very inaccurate to the book description of Filli. On top of being a wild take on a small grey furry creature as is stated in the books, it is also very cursed looking. Cursed Filli is just terrible but it’s not his fault he looks so cursed 😔

Big fan of long bodies with little nubby legs. Venuss on the roddaverse discord sketched this lil guy, inspired by brushbug/brushbuddy. Since it was only a sketch I picked some colours for this guy too, sort of a brown grey this time.

This is the most perfectly simple Filli design of all. @treecereal is so right about Filli looking like a pom pom, just an absolute joy to draw and look at. Flawless design.

This lil guy is @fabiansartstuff ‘s design and he is perfection. He may not be grey but he sure is round and really that’s all you need. Just the most perfect and beautiful orb of a Filli and I love him.

Tracked down another extremely baby Filli design, this time from @visavice. Once again Filli being just a fluffy little round guy is the best take. I want to hold him he looks so fluffy and cute.

Filli is of a fictional species called a Siski and he is described in the books as being small with grey fur, bright eyes, little hands/paws, tiny teeth and a small black nose. He is also somewhat mistakable for a rat but by people who have never seen a rat before so it can be assumed he’s at least vaguely rodent like. I always imagined him as having big ears too, not for any reason I just think they’re cute 🥰

Their design also wasn’t coloured so a always I defaulted to grey haha
