Description
Player race artwork for Endless Realms , a D&D-like "pen and paper" fantasy RPG I'm working for. These are the so-called advanced races, which are subspecies of the core 9 races to be released in their own separate advanced races books.

While the Yakshi, the plantfolk of Lumis, boast an incredible amount of diversity as part of their race, there do have a few apparent subtypes. The art director wanted me to come up with a "small, round, bushy" Yakshi which led me to wonder what sort of role it might have. Lacking the typical bodily senses the other races are accustomed to, the Yakshi don't perceive the world the same way and boast a variety of much different sensory organs so, I thought, perhaps its apparent bushiness is actually the product of all the "sensors" it has, and with its small size and bush-like appearance, it might make an ideal scout. It bristles with the Yakshi version of whiskers, its leaves, roots and tendrils sensitive to the slightest vibrations and the quality of light and air around it - I even thought perhaps it could puff out like a dandelion and float short distances, making it even more mobile. I'm not sure if the team will end up going in that direction, but I figure it's a viable option
