So about that listener design, I've made one!
Again, I'm new to the whole Eyes and Ears AU (and Tumblr-) so I may have missed something about listeners but from what I've gathered, this is what I came up with!
My Mishmash of Others' Headcanons for the Design:
There's not much art of the listeners but for the most part I've seen them portrayed as yellow with big ears.
For the wings, I saw either angel/bird wings (like the watchers) or dragon/bat wings. I decided to go with bat wings (and ears) since bats have the whole echolocation thing going on (also don't judge me for the bat wings not being accurate, it's an otherworldly being, it doesn't have to be accurate xD)
The warden antennae (Idk if that's what they're called-) came from a few people associating wardens with the listeners since wardens 'listen' to find the player.
The blindfold covering the eyes comes from a post I saw (can't find it again atm) that basically says eliminating the opposite sense from one of the beings makes their main sense stronger. In this case, eliminating sight from listeners makes their hearing stronger.
The cloak just comes from art of the watchers + the placeholder listener skin from evo
The swirly symbols are the listeners' symbol (idk if there's an official one) If you squint they can kinda look like ears-
This comes from my own idea for my own thing (probably not an original idea but yk...) where the bigger the wings are, the older/stronger a person is.
That concept also carries on to the ears in a way where I think they would gain ears as they continue to 'climb up the ranks' of the listeners or continue to be a loyal listener or smthn like that.
I also think both listeners and watchers can hide/show all of their eyes or ears whenever they want. They're still there, just hidden from view (like turning off and on a layer in an art program xd)
Aaanyways that's enough of my rambling for now. If I got anything wrong, or if you have your own ideas or have critiques for my art, feel free to share them! I'm also new to character design so if you have any tips on that, feel free to let me know those as well!
Now excuse me while I continue to binge watch Martyn's life series and devour some more lore ;)
