Description
Music: youtu.be/xacflWZig8c (please let it play till the end, the atmosphere is really fitting)More Esben! For some reason I just really enjoy painting this little guy, and he seems to become more evil every time I do... He's supposed to be rubbing his paws together, like he's plotting something or waiting for his plan to unfold, full of anticipation. And yes, he has altered his appearance a bit. He likes to add horns, antlers or extra tails. He knows it freaks other creatures out to see him like that, and he loves it. Same with the eyes, they are usually dark green, almost entirely black (as is normal for beech martens) but when he gets excited, angry or uses his powers, the pupils get this light glowing from within, looking slitted, like a cat's. It's the closest you'll get to seeing Esben's true form, as the eyes are supposed to be the windows to the soul... And whatever Esben truly looks like, he does not want to show it off. I can't imagine it's pretty though...
I am starting to enjoy this kind of lineless painting a lot! I found some new brush settings which work better for me than the other time. I like the texture they gave, and the slight roughness of the painting. I need more practice though: I want to be able to do this faster and more efficient, but I am very happy with this painting

He got horns now, the lil' bugger! He can probably think of some really awful forms to take on when he wants to scare people. The comment with the eyes really got me, brrr ... I like wondering about how he 'really' looks like.
His tails are looking really nice.
That's neat! I really like your lined style, but it's always wonderful to feel that something new is working :3 Oh, I also want to be faster with my paintings ...

Aaaaahh that makes me happy And it certainly pleases Esben too to know that he's worshiped liked so much! I've been in such an Esben mood lately, it's crazy. If I had the fabrics here I'd start making a huge cuddly Esben plush (so out of character, but see if I care). It's probably best that they're far out of my reach, those fabrics! Soon I will upload a picture that features all of my characters. Yeah, all of them. Stay tuned

Well, if you ever have the time, I'd adore to see a plush Esben!
If you're in an Esben mood, have you ever tried role playing him? That's my favorite thing to do when I'm in a little phase with one of my characters! Plus it really helps build the character development!

Oh I'll definitely make one in time, just not anytime soon haha, no fabrics here that even slightly fit him.
I've never done any role playing at all! To be honest I don't know how it works or how I'd get something like that set up, also because you need other people to roleplay with and I don't know anyone? Also I'm very irregular with updating stuff so I'm not sure how well I'd do

Awesome! Can't wait!
Oh really? Well, I could teach you if you want! I've taught quite a few people how to roleplay and if you'd like I can send ya a note and we can work something out!
It's really quite fun once you get the hang of it! You get to become closer to your character and get a better grip on them. :3 The only hard thing to get used to is not controlling the other person's character like you do in say, a story. But I can help you if you have any problems! It really is worth learning and tons of fun. ^^

Haha, that's perfect, thanks Hmmm yes mustelids have very very soft fur and Esben is no exception. He may try to bite your nose off if you hug him, though.... D:

Avanii In reply to Araselis [2013-11-03 21:29:00 +0000 UTC]
Afraid not, he's very proud :C But indeed, you may win him over if you give him lots of food or shiny things, of the kind he likes best. But then is the question, is it really worth the trouble to hug such malicious creature? Hehe, Esben really is the least friendly of my characters!

I shall be free to eat all the mice without competition, and without prejudice! its a foolproof plan, and no one can stop me! AHAHAHAHAAA!
