thing about deltora quest that only occurred to me in hindsight is not only just how much jasmine carries the entire party on this quest but also how genre-defyingly brutal she is lol. like, this is a kid's series that hinges on riddles and puzzles far more heavily than combat - even when deaths occur, they're often the result of cleverness in some way rather than straight up combat ability. that said, let's look at the villain kill count at the end of book five of eight of the first series:
- lief: 1 - even there it's with a well-thrown bottle of cursed water rather than his sword.
- barda: 0 - i'm not counting that one unnamed sand beast, that's an animal not a villain.
- filli: 0 - he is a squirrel, this is unsurprising.
- kree: 1 - killed an invincible sorceress all by himself, good bird best friend.
- jasmine: 5 - dropped a tree branch on a mf, drowned two cannibals in quicksand, cut a giant snake's throat, shoved a dude down a pipe full of toxic mold (after having to be told not to cut his throat while he slept jfc).
idk it just suddenly struck me as really funny how this one character who isn't the protagonist is almost from a different, far more brutal story, and uses that fact to consistently be the mvp and save everyone else's asses. i need to read this series again it's been too long.

Hello Deltora quest fandom, got some fan designs for the lads and the kin (specifically redesigns of the anime Kin bc god those designs fucking suck).
Also Ik canonically Jasmine has long hair but there is NO way she’s jumping around in the trees with long ass hair

THAEGAN AND HER BROOD!!! Thaegan's design was done by @calpalsworld and it goes so hard <3 Both of us interpreted her book of monsters design as like. Naked and covered by a veil of magic lol. So with this one, Cal was going for a mass of darkness bursting out of a cracked facade of magical energy. The rest of the designs were all me babyyy. For those, I tried to strike a balance between the book of monsters and anime designs. I really like how grotesque they are in the book, but I enjoy the pokemon-esque feel of their anime counterparts. Zod is the only one I ripped straight from the book. I also drew on a lot of different animals, obviously. I'm suuuper happy with how these turned out. And since the children will only have one talksprite each, I'll be able to go hard on texture and detail once I get to the final art.

Deltora Quest (children's fantasy series by Australian author Emily Rodda) is really fun, because she asked herself "hmm, what are the kids these days into, what can I use to hook them on reading?" and decided the answer was video games.
And so, Deltora Quest is full of little puzzles and riddles that you're encouraged to solve before you turn the page.
And this has the added benefit of making the world really feel alive. The gang walk into a new town and find a road-side carnival game type guy, and work out how the guy's rigging the game!
It's a little puzzle that also adds a small, incidental moment of the world being full of people who Do Things.
