After seeing your updated illustrations of Pixies and Kobolds, and then checking back on your old illustration of Faeries, I simply must ask-what happened lol?
Here's the old illustration, for the record:
Drau and adhene didn't change much from their original designs, but yeah, pixies and kobolds got some dramatic updates. I realized pixies looked way too much like sprights, and their cutesy appearance didn't reflect what heinous little bastards they really are. So I made them look more sinister and insect-like to give them more of a "pest" vibe.
Kobolds just became more misshapen and asymmetrical. I wanted to show that they were the result of an inexperienced monster forger, and thought their appearance should reflect a more pitiful existence. The original design looked too similar to trolls and they also had a "strong" look about them, which doesn't work imo because they're not strong creatures at all.
