Thara Celehar, Witness for the Dead

[calastrophe]

there was an excellent analysis post about maza's robes (go check it out it's really good), and the additions supplemented it with resounding evidence of cala's weird girl energy. i tagged it with, "he would wear crocs"

in response, via @autistic-beshelar,

literally begging and pleading for someone to draw beshelar going WHAT ARE THOOOSE at cala’s crocs

so here you are

ID: two digital sketches of characters from the goblin emperor. 1) cala athmaza standing feet apart, hands behind his back, and deret beshelar next to him, shoulders hunched, knees bent, pointing down at cala's feet. cala is a tall lanky elf with knee length robes and circle glasses. he's wearing crocs with socks and has a smug expression. deret is a slim elf with a topknot and padded leather uniform. he's flushed and looks distressed and outraged. he's yelling "WHAT ARE THOSE?!" both have sashes with a little kitty face on them. 2) maia drazhar and csevet aisava from the waist up, holding a sheet of paper between them. csevet is a short elf of average build with multiple rings in his ears. he's holding a pen in the other hand and is looking down at cala's shoes. his ear is twitching and "judging" is scribbled next to him. his expression is reproachful. maia is a tall, thin goblin-elf with thick curly hair piled with pearls. he is wearing a cape and circlet and is also eyeing cala's shoes. his expression is dubious and he's saying, "oh...those are certainly um...unique." end ID
