After his execution, a detested crown prince discovers himself in the past without his status and power but with enough knowledge to seek revenge. A fantasy BL light novel with 15 full color illustrations. Full of drama, betrayal, time travel, and found family, with blood and gore sprinkled in Unlucky Clover is ride of a read. $7.99 for 220k words of protagonist Willow's unlucky attempt to fix the future he ruined. With the help of street rat Crow and the mysterious stranger Ny he might just stumble his way out of his mess.
I was the art director and illustrated art for this novel alongside the amazing Jiminsi! This book is a wild ride and well worth checking out! It was really fun making the character designs for the cast as well as working with Jiminsi for all the illustrations! The main trio is a treat of found family and the supporting cast is a joy to read how all their stories interconnect.
This is Kiwi Rat's first novel and you can see their eclectic influences from Terry Pratchett's Discworld to magical girl anime to Villianess webtoons bouncing out of the page and creating their own unique world.

The preposterous Pied Piper makes it’s heinous debut!
With an intimidatingly permanent jolly expression to it’s face and a constant knack for laughing and giggling, it’s no question why this meticulously designed specimen is quick to make others flee! But don’t be deceived by it’s raggedy, silly exterior! For inside this humanoid build is a great multitude of… rats! A seemingly hive mind of an entity, inside of this soft sentient shell is the internal makeup of countless vermin it commands! Like seriously. They’re nothing but rats inside it. It has no other make up inside. It’s just. Rats.
But deep down, this whimsical, giggly entity has a darker origin to it’s motive. That old Mother Goose— yes, the very one after our pregnant protagonist Einin— has piqued this entity’s interest to the max. Joined along a small band of it’s equally sadistic allies, The Pied Piper has set it’s sights for control of that beastly bird with quite the cult-like obsession. Why? Who knows! Perhaps recognized power, or maybe it seeks alliance to carry out more wicked deeds alongside each other? And Einin…? She’s the utmost perfect bait to allow them to get ahold of that creature… if bait means sacrifice, in this case.
It would pull just about any trick in the book to get exactly what it wants. With a trusty smoking pipe along side him that it blows an oddly wispy essence out, it can easily lure in just about whatever it wants if the mind is feeble enough to fall impressionable to the falsified truths they will whisper. To him, nothing dare stand in it’s way of it’s cultivated goal… not even a backstabber.

A MASSIVE THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO’S HELPED PUT THIS DESIGN TOGETHER!
HUGE thanks to @menthum-mint who came up with the concept and @gongedtornado for creating the original design concept art!!
And also huge thanks to @shroingushour, @pazam, @aggresively-doesnt-know, and @pizzabits who all helped contribute to design tweaking, ideas, further input, and many more details that helped bring this character to life! I think this is the largest amount of people I've had collaborate with a single character design/concept and l'm so happy that this came out so perfect!! This is seriously one of my favorite designs for the story.
And of course, thank you to everyone else who's been helping with further design and development! Y'all are real ones <3

Aside from the noble platypus I also feel like rui would really enjoy these animals:
Mola mola/Sunfish
Anteater
Echidna
Kiwi
Kākāpō
Axolotl
Horseshoe crab
Gibbon
#i have reasoning for all of these beyond ‘they look funny’ trust#mola mola are just. so fucking weird man. they’re so odd. their back fin grows back on itself? they’re so rigid it reduces drag#but they ‘swim’ really slowly? they swim similar to how a bird flies. just sideways. largest bony fish. they bask to get enough warmth#to allow them to dive super deep to forage for food (cold blooded so they’d be fucked without doing that)#anteaters are interesting. did you know they’ve (the giant ones) killed jaguars and humans before#because they walk on the knuckles to keep the huge knives on their feet sharp and their threat response#is basically just ‘swipe blindly (poor vision) at whatever comes close until it stops coming back’#echidnas are fellow monotremes (only ones besides the platypus) and are just as strange#they also have electrosensors (~2000 compared to the platypus’s 40000) and a similarly low body temp#(second lowest of all mammals after. u guessed it. the platypus) and are actually decent swimmers despite looking Like That#kiwis are weird beasts.#massive eggs compared to their body size. rely more on scent than sight because their eyes are so tiny and under developed.#kākāpō are the heaviest parrot and also the only flightless parrot. they also kinda resemble owls face wise? and they’re green.#evolved with no natural predators and are currently being fucked over by invasive rats#axolotl is self explanatory#although to give a fun fact the wild type is naturally brown. the fun colored ones would be easy prey in the wild.#& they’re capable of going through metamorphosis (like how tadpoles -> frogs) if exposed to the necessary hormones#but they don’t produce it on their own#horseshoe crabs despite having crab in the name are more closely related to spiders/ticks/scorpions than crabs#& gibbons are included because 1 I’m biased towards my favorite animal 2 only species of lesser ape. live in family units.#tbf I think he’d like all apes and probably prefer orangutans/chimps but I’m saving you the extensive lecture on great apes#here at ssruis we strive to be educational.#biology cool. despite me dropping out of the program (treated as premed at my college and I could NOT do chem let alone orgchem/physics) but#i liked biolab/the units abt animals ¯\_(ツ)_/¯#rui

ROLLERCOASTER so I spent all day Wednesday studying my ass off for an exam (bad), found out Wednesday night that I got selected to go to a shelter and learn how to neuter on Friday (good), then had a weird anxiety attack (bad), finally fell asleep (good), woke up at 5 am for diabetes problems (bad), went to class and my exam went well (GOOD), got home and my rat was couldn’t walk so I took him in and we put him to sleep (BAD). At least I have the neutering thing tomorrow, and halloween parties saturday. God willing they’re (good)

Anne, can I provide you this rat...

"...I'm gonna take good care of it." She accepts the rat, and gently pets it.
Oh hey, there's a spacious cage for it now. Cool!

Dell Philby, member #5 of the Kingdom Keepers. Redheaded. Vaguely from somewhere that used to be under the rule of the British Empire (Finn initially guesses Australia or New Zealand, but I think the series later confirms England.) Genius who specifically has an unhealthy obsession with research. Canonically has the emotional range of a teaspoon.
In conclusion, I believe him to be Ron and Hermione’s lost third child.

Helping Hands and You're Invited prompts for the Gachagon Keep
Fall event (which has since concluded)
My five main Heart Beast characters stacked atop one another like a cairn
Color pencil fullbody of Neon Sky
Color pencil headshot of Shockwave (with typography referencing The Ramones' "Blitzkrieg Bop")
Gouache painting of my WOAS OCs Brian and George
Shaded bust of Alan
Jan/Feb 2024 Bunyo prompt, with Sweetums and Zesty
Valentine's 2024 Magimite prompt, with Sandy
