I have low iron and sometimes I take some suplements that the doctor gave me that are like a powder you disolve in water, so technically I could be an iron misting and nobody would know, maybe I just pretend I'm anaemic to hide my secret allomantic identity.

Got to play Skimmer in a oneshot :0 Or "Tooth" as he calls himself!

Our party was so funny I'm not even kidding — two fairies, one giant, one human being on a quest to negotiate with giants and save a giant town from a hag. Turns out im the only one who didnt choose giant as a language and the rest of the party is made up of an antisocial, a stoic, and a man with social anxiety while Tooth NEVER shuts up AHSJFDKJSdf great circumstances

ALSO TWO SCOTTISH CHARACTERS IN ONE ONESHOT?! Even FUNNIER ('If ye had a chaance to chaenge yer startin' languages, WOOD YE?!")

whipping this thing around the system with bomb rush cyberfunk going in the back is transcendent for me personally

'Clinks are always hungry. And what does one mouse more or less matter to you now? Soon you will be far away, and your clinks will have the whole of Fleet to themselves.' [FitzFee said.] 'True,' Nanion admitted. 'So the wheel turns full circle. Clinks were here long before humans were. Why, Fleet was built in this spot because of the fine chimneys the clink colony had hollowed from the rocks. They will be have the whole of Fleet to themselves.' 'No. They'll miss the warmth of your fires and the comfort of your scraps.' THE THREE DOORS The Golden Door Ch 15 Fleet

this was only supposed to be a cute lil clink doodle but it was late at night when i started so i fell down the rabbit hole on this one, so behold my madman scrawlings once more ( '')/

honestly not that really a creature artist so had a bit of a tough time, but i did some a bit of research into irl animals that i could draw inspiration from

i tried to find out if there was any rodent or even just a mammal that could burrow or dig through rock, to no avail. but! there are molluscs that do! they're called boring bivalves, and it did take me a moment to click that they mean "bivalves that bore into rock" and not "check out this absolute snoozefest of a sea creature" lmaoo but yeah. they produce an acid that erodes the rock below them and they basically drill down.

when i initially thought about the clinks and their tunnel colonies, my only ideas were that they did just dig with their claws through the rock and it was soft enough or their claws were hard enough or they were patient enough to get through; or they cast acid attack lol. i didn't really like the acid idea tbh because it felt kinda cheap i guess? but then i remembered the skimmer venom.

and it made me think a little. like maybe the venom is a more evolved, more intense version, or even the same just increased capacity of that acid?

i did struggle so much comprehending where the venom spur is though, and this has happened so many time smh. like i have no idea why but in my brain it has always been at like, the elbow??? i dont know why. maybe because sometimes dragons have spurs there. but it's never said that in the books obviously. and then when i went to check it said "above the claws" and i just genuinely have no idea what that's supposed to mean lmao. i ended up drawing inspiration from the platypus's own venom spur, which did end up looking like i gave skimmers a thumb which i was trying to avoid but it is what it is.

oh yeah i briefly wondered if they ever like collected any venom?? i dont remember it specifically. tallus and sholto do seem the type to have done so. if we go with this headcanon train of thought, then i suppose it could be used in construction or whatnot to remove stone obstructions or something ya know? or you know. kill someone. aNYWAY

last thing is that in my researching for burrowing rodents, i ended up choosing the prairie dog for a base on the clink design, no particular reason why.

anyway boy what a plot point damn read the three doors

Process wips so far of the Nadia and Blueberry piece!

Pose/Picture I used for reference by @adorkastock ! I also used a variety of google search images for the right foot.

With the addition of skimmers, I wonder if TFS will have segments that require one to navigate? (If so I imagine they'd add more to the game in the lead-up or during the campaign)

I really hope we get more skimmers soon, maybe in Into the Light? And I really hope that the TFS location has good spots to use the skimmer on! I doubt it would be required for the campaign unless the skimmer is given to everyone as a part of the campaign, as you said (which could also happen!), but it would be really cool.
