Bard-aby <3 except he's only loosely a bard bc i don't subscribe to absolutes <3
rambles:
BARNABY WITH PANTS??? BLASPHEMY!!! however this is a (dnd-inspired) fantasy au so. pants! loose pants tucked into modified boots because no one can tell me No!
based off of Clown's pokemon au human Barn, it seems like he might be a bit of a jewelry guy! he was wearing rings! and had an earring! also i think Barn just looks great w/ some extra shinies, yk yk
since ties aren't really a Thing in fantasy settings, i combined the iconic pattern w/ his vest for a two-in-one. then suspenders bc they fuck severely! his belt buckle is a bone both as a nod to the pattern on his tie / house decoration, and to go along with how Wally has an apple buckle! besties stay twinning!
you can't see it but on his other side he has his pack & his smoking pipe holster, which attaches to his belt! it's very high quality leather that he spent so much money on. his pipe is important to him - he carved it himself out of wood from an important tree from his childhood, so he wants it to be properly stored & protected! he has two kinds of tobacco for it - normal, and magic tobacco that essentially allows him to cast minor spells w/ the smoke
the feathers on his hat are from Ms. Beagle! in my mind he left the farm to go adventuring on a bit of a bad note, but his mama made sure to give him a couple feathers to take with so that she'd always be close <3
he keeps his claws blunt so that he doesn't accidentally scratch people/things, and so that he can play stringed instruments without cutting the strings. while i imagine for this au he plays a wide range, he prefers Loud Handheld Instruments that allow him to sing along. so in mind he has an Accordion here! loud! jaunty! but i imagine he also keeps a recorder in his pack for when Frank needs annoying. (he did have a lute, but he broke it over someone's head in the act of defending Wally's honor)
im still trying to pin down the right balance of colors for his outfit, but! for a little au tidbit - all of his spots are the same two blues as his ears. in this im imagining that he, at a young age, learned a very basic cosmetic spell that allowed him to change his spots color to mimic Ms. Beagle's! he wanted to look like his mama! but by the time he's in his late 20s he no longer changes his spots
ohhhh i forgot to add his pockets. Oh Well

it's probably a crazy long shot but I'm a lil bit desperate so why not float the idea idk. just wondering if anyone would be interested in trying to organize a group to play dnd over discord some time. I've never dm'ed and would prefer not to, but if we can't recruit someone who will, I can try to run a prewritten campaign. it's just been like literally 6 months since the last time I played, and it doesn't seem like the campaign I specifically bought dice at youmacon for is going to happen SO

funniest part of my appointment today was my doctor looking at the depression and anxiety screenings that i gotta do and immediately being like "that's abnormal". and she absolutely meant that it's abnormal for ME because usually i am able to manage better nowadays but i laughed my ass off because yeah that IS abnormal actually. it's not funny but it sure is abnormal!

as a huge fan of normal type pokemon i think i'm a little burnt out on the fandom's obsession over larry because he really is just some guy who hates his job...yeah it's a little funny but also pretty unendearing...normal types are so much more than that!!

Kokomi, but what if. She was More Fish.
It seems like I'm not getting her this time either LMFAO, but hey! I still had fun playing w her design!
Some notable aspects under cut!
> Skin so pale you can see her veins, I played w the idea of making her see-through like some fish are. Wasn't sure how to pull that off LMAO so it was scrapped. Her skin becomes more scalely in areas, most notably her limbs.
> Wanted her kimono to mimic fins??? Like betta fish. Also on the inside pretend I made it pearlescent like the inside of a shell, isn't it soooo cool?!?! The frills are meant to mimic fins too!
> Gave her Inkling teeth. Felt right LMFAO
> Not sure if the stockings really make sense anymore, but I wanted to try to keep them and incorporate the style of her sandles while giving her Actual fins and webbed feet. Plus, you can kinda see that sick gradient!!!! (Her arms have the same thing goin' on, but they're mostly covered up by her flowy sleeves).
She's very inspired by some Precure designs and Monster High, which are both shows I have never watched but I've seen around LMFAO (actually, just realizing.... the Precure inspo might have been lost??? My very first design of her had pearls on her lashes like that one mermaid girl, but I swear there was also a girl who had colored eyelashes too....... hm.) (also. My entire exposure w Monster High has been through doll customs on YouTube LMFAO)
