oh my gosh, ok, so I’ve been going through @zubneo and @sm-baby ‘s Minecraft tags and absolutely loving their designs/redesigns/head-canons and since I’ve been playing Bedrock edition on the switch I have also felt the need to draw my cute sona and the various Villagers she’s taken under her wings.
But for now I’m just exploring my own Villager aesthetic, so here’s some poorly photographed sketches of some notes
Details of some Villager professions! We have Grace the farmer and her hubby the quiet and stern Cartographer, and the Fletcher (male) being courted by the Blacksmith (female). She luvs her smol feathered boi :3 Also cat.
Details 2 is some notes on the Player - who I kinda headcanon as being one of the last of an ancient and very powerful peoples known to the Villagers as “Builders” creative I know. Though they are ever-so-slightly shorter than Villagers in-game, I think with the variety of player “skins” (pheno/genotypes), their height would vary as well, keeping within .25+/- of 2 blocks. Maybe the ancient Builders also “built” some new DNA and that’s why all the Players look so weird... Also pupper who is big.
Details 3 are some notes on the “Nitwit” villagers who I think would have higher standing in the Village than just comedic relief, even if that is necessary in such a bleak world... No, I like to think they also work as general care-takers, watching the children while the adults work or acting as scouts for danger - (which explains why they sometimes stay out at night) - or as diplomats between Villages - hence why they seem to wander farther than their “professional” counterparts.
And Detail 4 are some extra character specific notes of some Villagers that I wanted to include :3
Here we have the village Cleric, a pale/ashen-toned man who is very serious about his job as Healer and initially distrusts the Player when they arrive, beaten and bruised, but is also the first to help when she beats back a group of zombies that night. He’s completely bald (no eyebrows) from practicing alchemy, and his ears have grown weird - after all, he had normal ears when he arrived right? You don’t remember either, huh? Weird... Also pictured is a weak Phantom, creatures that are not normally seen because they fly through the Between, a space between living and death, the waking and sleeping worlds... But Cleric sees them all the time because he’s constantly tired from insomnia, poor guy.
To the right is the Librarian, a kind soul that likes playing with redstone in their spare time because of the way it glitters and sifts through their fingers. They have some subtle magic that allows things they craft and touch to be faintly “enchanted” when left behind, even normal lanterns seem to glow brighter around them, or maybe that’s just their shining personality~. Like most Librarians however, they do know how to actively copy enchantments from the old tomes to current notebooks and happily trade them for more shiny red dust. As a final note about them, they know more than they say, hinting at things that have yet to happen, or maybe have in a different time... Or maybe they’re just daydreaming.
And finally at the bottom is the local Shepherd, a sweet guy, if a little absent-minded. He’s got a huge crush on the Librarian but can’t for the life of him confront them about it because of his stumbling stutter. He’s quite good with animals though, and surprisingly brave, having chased off a wolf pack from his herd... with the help of a golem anyways. He doesn’t have any dark secrets, just a happy love-struck boy that takes care of the Village’s flock.
Wow so uhhh... that’s more than I expected o.o hope ya’ll enjoyed that rambling, I’m going to go practice for my finals of the quarter. Take Care~ <3
They are hinting at another update to the village with the little un-used table things, maybe we could update he villagers to maybe have their own self defense tactics like, for example: Clerics could maybe be like the illusionists or a similar power to one of the illagers, like marksmen could be like pillagers firing bows, the butchers could use maybe an axe or a butcher’s knife...? same with farmers, they could use maybe a worse version of tridents witch are pitchforks or maybe using farming hoes!
