just a little reminder I do take art suggestions here btw! i can’t promise i’ll get to them quickly or at all… but if you ever want to send some feel free!
Gus is the whole reason this au exists in the first place, he’s so gnome. i loved giving him a big ol’ robe :] and brick was super fun, i love making her a bit more realistic but still silly <3 don’t know how i feel about his cap, i might go back and change it a bit
Again trying to keep the mask silhouette with hazel’s hood, although it’s easier to justify her having a cute outfit for the sake of it being cute :3 took some cues from marcille’s outfit but made it much much pinker
more stuff under here
gus, being a regular at peppino’s tavern, heard theo trying to strike up a deal with peppino, burst into the conversation, and demand that he and brick tag along. gus is super into animals/monsters (if you couldn’t tell from his giant rat familiar) and is mostly going dungeon diving to document and study all the monsters, plus theo needed a better healer than hazel so gus is getting paid well.
Brick is brick. being a familiar, she’s happy to come with gus to the dungeon and is generally a big help to the party even if she’s not the most traditional party member (she’s perfect for carrying people when they get tired) she’s clearly pretty smart but to what extent no one really knows
hazel has been exploring the dungeon for the longest, she’s not exactly trying to become a dungeon lord (although she’s certainly not opposed to the thought) she’s just making a living and enjoying the exploration along the way :]
she and theo have been married for a bit and again, she’s happy to explore the dungeons without needing to become a dungeon lord, but she’s also happy to accompany her husband :] also both being beastmen, they kind of serve as the halflings of the party, with their raised senses and stuff. not as good as the real thing but it works
