Sasha: Look, mate, I don't really get this magic stuff super well, but I promisse I won't betray you just cause you can't even try a cool acrobatics anymore. Worms are very sneaky. Wait halfling sized worm or worm sized worm? Cause I'll still stick by you but we might have to do something about it.
Zolf: You're not a worm, Hamid.
Grizzop: This is nonsense. Time wasting nonsense... I would still be your friend but wow what a dumb question.
Azu: Yes. Of course s2.
Cel: Yup. *infodumps about worms for two hours*
Bertie: Ew. Gross. I would pity kill you.
*part 2: party adjacent*
Wilde: I suppose being a worm would make you more down to earth. (S: and you are already worm, you get it, warm, worm).
Skraak: *genuine consideration* No.
Eistein: You are a funny man, Hamid.
Carter: Hey! That's my question when I get too drunk at parties too!!
Barnes: I don't think we have this level of intimacy.
Kiko: No but Azu would.
*part 3: sibs*
Saira: Dragons aren't worms, Hamid, and frankly that is quite an offensive comparison.
Aziza: I would be a worm right with you.
Isaq: Sure... Anyway If you were a worm would I get your stuff?
Ismail: Yeah, I guess, but like I would be the one getting your things right, bro?
Saleh Jr: Wait last night happened? I thought I was just very high and had a very weird hallucionation... Oh... uh...
Not at the end of RQG yet but so far I am LOVING how Alex uses Skraak to dismantle common Kolbold steryotypes/ Archetypes. Like the Kolbolds are introduced the same way dnd/pathfinder Kolbolds often are ie Mooks or pets but we discover Its because they're drugged and nothing to do with Kolbolds generally. Lots of the PC's ideas are dismantled about Kolbolds especially Hamid's and I LOVE how Skraak is a full charecter who at least atm Hates Hamid's guts and HAS AGENCY .
The kobold crew ? I just love all those funky little dragon gender guys
RQG requests #11, FUNKY LITTLE DRAGON GENDER GUYS!!!! thank you so much for your prompt!! i’d never sat to think about their individual designs before this, and as much as i prefer to plan beforehand, it felt great to just doodle and build them as i went! this is pretty much exactly the result and vibe i wanted, so i’m very happy with this one. it’s really cute! they’re all so cute!!!!! character design is great!!
going from top to bottom we have meerk, draal and driaak, natun and tadyka, sassraa at the center, and our guy skraak on the front. what absolute lads.
mechanical pencil on cream paper, with digital colors.
ID under the cut!
[ID: an illustration of all the kobolds. it's drawn with mechanical pencil on yellow paper, and is colored digitally with flat, warm colors. the style is simplistic and shows everyone in profile. they're all shown in full body, and are bunched together each posing and doing their own thing. skraak is on the front, crouched down, and sassraa is just behind them, standing up straight, at the center of the composition. natun and draal are standing out to the left from behind her, while tadyka and driaak are doing the same, but opposite them, towards the right. meerk is directly above sassraa, at the cusp of the pyramid. they are all variations of red with yellow fins, horns and eyes.
skraak is crouching and leaning towards the right, resting his left arm on his knee, and keeping balance with their right hand on the ground. he's the biggest of all the kobolds, bright red, with a longer tail and spikier, fan-like ear-fins. he's frowning and has his eyes narrowed, with his head turned to the left but looking right. he has tight black armor on his torso and long gray cloves.
sassraa is wearing a white lab coat and goggles. her fins are spiky and pointing diagonally upwards, making them look like cel. she's facing left and is looking right, with her left arm behind her back, and her right holding a test tube up to her face. she's smiling softly.
behind her and stepping towards the left is natun. they're small and reach to about sassraa's chest. they're leaning forwards and have syringe spear on their right hand, and are wearing plain leather armor on their torso. they have a shorter, snubby snout, small horns that curl like a ram's, and two sets of ear fins, which give them a more aquatic look. they have an attentive, eager face and look younger than the rest.
above them is draal. they're wearing a fur-lined, dark brown coat and are holding a fang on their right hand, holding it in front of their face with a big grin. their horns and fins are sharp and short, pointing backwards in spikes.
opposite natun is tadyka. she's a slim, lanky kobold, standing with a bit of a stoop. they're holding a syringe spear in both claws, in front of them. she has a long, less angular snout, and her fins are split into two horizontally. they have plain leather armor. her horns are short and slightly curved forwards.
above her and opposite draal is driaak. they're as tall as draal, and are also wearing a fur-lined coat for the cold. theirs is white with light brown fur, anf they're a dark maroon rather than red. their horns are very small, and their fins are wider towards the top. they're stepping forwards and have a left claw up to their eyes, looking into the distance with a cheery smile.
behind them all is meerk. his body is facing right but he is yelling upwards, sticking his tongue with a grin out and holding drumsticks on each claw. they have a black headband around their heard, spiky bracelets on their right arm, dark gray gloves, and a shiny leather vest. they're bright red, their fins are short and spiky, and their horns are shaped like lightning bolts. his tail pokes out from behind draal in a curl, and the tip of it is a small spiky ball, like a morning star. end ID]
