#spyrites

Recently dear King (@lovelywingsart) created a Digimon sona, Kestrel! His design goes along so well with the one we had already given to our Spyrites, and between one thing and the other and chatting about this, two of them and Kestrel became friends, united by their shared sessions of gossiping.

Spyrites are way too good at collecting information about anyone's business in their area, and guess which new friend has two ink-leaking tentacles to write everything down...? 👀

Spyrites are small spirits that live in swarms, and have an habit of quickly and discreetly investigating any unusual happening that's in range of their acute senses (hence their name: magic rituals are definitely one of the things that are of interest to them, they "spy rites"), and sharing among themselves any information that they think could be potentially useful or interesting: they're gossipy!

Once estabilished the main palette that would feature on these cuties, we wanted to have fun and try it in a small illustration all dedicated to them. Spyrites are the #73 entry for our Spiritdex!

The spyrite is a small species of a category of spirits known as lemures. These creatures usually live in swarms, and collaboration and information sharing is their main tactic for survival; it's not unusual for bigger, stronger spirits to offer protection to these creatures in exchange for them acting as spies on their account, which spyrites do more than willingly.
