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]

Bryn's voice acting during the Freaky Friday section of the airship arc is honestly so good -- he manages to walk the line between Azu and Hamid's voices and vocal mannerisms so well.

204 | Episode 171 - The Bow Bar

Day 25. 169-175

[ID: A digital drawing of Hamid as Azu and Azu as Meerk from rusty quill gaming. Azu is looking up at Hamid as he shows off a ball gown. Azu is a Kenyan half-orc with a shaved head, her ears, lip, and nose are pierced. She is wearing pink suit top with a purple under dress and a beige lower skirt. Meerk is a red Kobold and he is wearing leather armor with a leather skirt and spiked shoulder pads. /End ID]

Pre: RQG 162

Look this has been sitting in my notes app for literally years now, so time to either go back to posting them or delete forever. I think I'd regret never posting them so here you go. Heads up I didn't end up finishing the series & don't actually remember when I stopped

Not much by way of pre listening thoughts other than a vague hope Earhardt is going to knock it off now that the Kobolds reassured her they won't object to fighting the dragon that attacked her ship. I mean there are over a dozen lovely things I anticipate coming up in the next few episodes but I trust RQ to get to it when they get to it. Literally the only thing I think they might actually drop the ball on is if they decide not to address if elementals are people. Which would esp suck after that great scene in Paris where Hamid has a moment with one; but no canon is perfect and I'm not sure how much more lore we can get before we lose people who don't live for world building like me. Especially since if they are people it implies systematic enslavement world wide. Which wowee there's a comment on capitalism being dependent on the exploitation of people who aren't seen as people at levels direct & indirect, large & small, but if fandom is reacting this badly to the cohort I can see where neither Alex nor Anil are paid enough to go there.

Oh and as always Azu needs to have a conversation where she isn't the strong one, like I hope mega juicing was cathartic but tell someone she's afraid of something, be petty about something silly, talk about her grief & guilt for her own sake. If she was a Mary Sue I'd wave it as women get to play wish fulfilment characters too, but she is very well played and real people don't do well with being serenely helpful all the time. Although I might be worried just because I like her so much, maybe I'm missing moments where she isn't making herself be perfect because she is perfect to me?

Lastly: names, Alex, 5 of them. When I thought he was keeping a hard line on treating the cohort as one character so they wouldn't take over the series it was one thing; but Meerk likes loud noises, and Skraak remains a delight, so make em canon and give me at least 1 characteristic a piece.

[ID: The first image is a digital painting of four of the kobolds from Rusty Quill Gaming. The other four images are individual drawings cropped out of the above. They are as follows: Skraak, with a knife, furred collar, a fang necklace around their neck, and frilly wings; Sassraa, with Cel-as-a-rat in the pocket of their lab coat, a glowing flask in one hand, her horns and claws bleached white; Meerk, with face patterns reminiscent of a skull, a drumstick in one hand, frozen halfway through a dance; and Natan, with drumsticks sticking out of the side of their apron, a scarf wrapped around their neck, and long spines coming from their back. All four have pale red bellies, chin whiskers, and horns. They’re all smiling. The entirety of the piece is drawn in burnt red, with occasional highlights of pale blue for the kobolds’ eyes, Skraak’s frills, and some items of clothing. End ID.]

For rqg doodle requests, I'd like to see your favourite scene!

I'll admit, I went a bit crazy with this one but I couldn't decide on a scene so I chose the Bow Bar (mainly because I'm relistening to that episode right now).

[ID: A rough sketch of a bustling bar in RQG171 - The Bow Bar. In the foreground is Wilde and Zolf, chatting. Playing cards at a table behind them are Siggif in Hamid's body and Tadyka is Skraak's body. Behind them on the stage is Meerk in Barnes' body, playing percussion on a drumset. In front of Meerk is Natun, in Carter's body, on vocals. In front of Natun is Friedrich is Driaak's body, playing the accordian. To the right of them are Azu in Meerk's body and Kiko in Friedrich's body, both looking awkward. There is a kobold t-posing beside Azu and Kiko. /end ID]

[yamikakyuu]

For the doodle rec: kobolds trying to hide the fang in Wilde's hair/clothes!

Meerk is very proud of themself. (Don't ask how they got it in Wilde's hair, I don't know XD) Thanks for the prompt!

Still taking doodle prompts if you want to send me any!

The Line is Erased Day 9: The Vengeance and Northern Wastes - Mortality - The things we’ve lost and the things we’ve found.

“a couple of smaller snowpiles that are definitely kobold”

at least meerk was happy in the end, right?

[ID: an embroidery f eppisode 174 of Rusty Quill Gaming. a light brown embroidery hoop in front of a black background, it is filled with light blue fabric. The bottom 2/3rds of the hoop have been filled with white felt which is resembling snow. The head, and paws, as well as the tail of a red kobold are peaking out of the snow, the red of the kobolds body can be seen through the white felt, giving the impression of blood. The kobold has his eyes closed and appears to be dead. above the felt it reads embroidered in white yarn 'loud, shiny, spikey with fire' End ID.]

here’s a health to the company and one to my lass // let's drink and be merry all out of one glass // let's drink and be merry, all grief to refrain // for we may or might never all meet here again

[daelnightbird]

I recently listened to the first few episodes of RQG again and realized, as soon as Meerk wakes up again - and I refuse to believe that they won't cause then my heart will be shattered - someone has to give him a thunderstone! They deserve it and the amount of fun he'd have may be enough to dry my tears!
