Leshy Fanart Pt 2

i had a dream i worked in an underwater restaurant and people kept ordering ice in their drinks and then getting mad at me when it would float away. and i’d tell them beforehand that the ice would float away & they’d be like lol no that’s not how it works just give me the ice. I’m fighting customer service battles never seen before

uh.. oh god. Ocs.

im making them for a book concept and... God its getting out of hand. I gotta do a total of ... what, 25 of them?

Its a whole thing. Tell me if your interested in the full lore.

Ima show them off in waves! So first let's do the court of the cherry blossom:

First is vimal, the head member who represents purity within the council.

then we got those below him:

malum, the judge, who's name totally doesn't mean evil in Latin. He's probably the most plot relevant character.

kocai, the herald. (Ignore the thing on the bottom, I forgot to change it). She loves skinks and speaks in sort of a southern/aussie accent..? Accent or like just way of speaking. Kinda is a jerk to everyone, but a funny jerk. She means well.

then the last of the ones I have from the court of the cherry blossom is lehrer. Named after Tom lehrer, who fun fact, lehrer means teacher/teaching!

(I still need to make like, 3 more of these guys.)

Next post gonna be about the court of the spider lily, which is like the chaotic neutral guys

lord the peasants are so loud today

Switching between these every day

raskolnikov just lying in bed for a week from anxiety and guilt and depression is the most relatable thing i've ever read. he would make a killing on depressed tiktok. bedrotting pioneer. this is before he's inevitably exposed for being a temperamental asshole and also a murderer lol

As an alternative to 'sugar, spice, and everything nice'

I present: 'salt, vinegar, and everything sinister'

lunar moth

This took an unbelievable amount of time.

photo with and without the clouds because they wanted it without but i like it with.

Ive named it Jeff and there is nothing they can do about it.

dostoyevsky was surely a master of nomenclature as well. i don't know if all editions include this, but my copy of crime and punishment (penguin) includes info on the names of the characters and their meanings. dosto's versatility is unbounded since even the names of characters match with their actions and character traits.

from raskolnikov's name, "raskolot" means to chop or split. "raskolnik" refers to religious schismatic. "razum" in razumikhin means intellect or reason. "zametit" from zametov's name means to observe. most importantly, sofya who is mentioned often as sonya, refers to wisdom.
