entomologists: we have placed the honey bee in genus Apis, after the latin word for "bee", a noble name.

"oh cool so what about bumblebees? what genus are they in?"

entomologists: ehehe Bombus

what exactly is a kobold

That’s a good question! As far as 5E is concerned, they’re small draconic creatures that are typically quite cowardly, unintelligent, and far more formidable together than alone. I think older editions and/or other systems posited that they were more dog-like (which is the kind I’ve drawn in the past, since my friend playing the character specified it so) - I’m not exactly sure on where that take originates but I’ve definitely seen it around enough to know it was established lore at some point. They’re typical low-level XP fodder found in dungeons, usually playing goons for a more powerful being that ends up being the final dungeon boss.

However, if you wanted my personal favourite lore (the exact origin of which I cannot remember but I’m not about to take credit for it), I like to define a kobold as any organic creature given sapience (and sometimes otherwise modified) to serve a specific master and/or purpose. This opens the possibilities for kobolds based on any kind of animal, including the established lizard- and dog-based ones, but also non-beast creatures that are still harmless enough to be co-opted this way without their creator having to worry about giving intelligence to something with far too much potential to subsequently control. It also makes sense then that they’re only given enough intelligence to be able to fulfil whatever purpose they were created for (very commonly mindless grunt work) and that they tend to be tight-knit and efficient team-workers. I think there’s endless flavour to be had here whilst also uniting the various extant kobolds under a single concept and statblock (with room for minor variation) in a way that actually makes sense.

Ultimately though kobolds are just little guys

Had the opportunity to throw myself into making my first mural 👁🌱

Despite all the doubts I had, happy to have experimented and learned from something I had never done before.

Grateful to the people who inspired me when I had no idea what I was doing 🧡

I just saw the biggest fluffiest bumblebee

here's the artistic rendition

[uhohitsdorian]

Hey all! Sorry I haven’t been posting in a while. It’s been a busy year for me so I haven’t had as much time or energy for art.

The main thing, though, is that I don’t feel comfortable posting until I’m able to Nightshade & Glaze my work. And for that I have to work some serious computer magic so that each image doesn’t take my 2011 Radeon PC approximately fifty seven years to render. If anyone has any tips on that I’d be very grateful.

So hopefully I’ll be back one of these days, I certainly have a bit of a backlog to share.
