Falloween Bonus Art 2:

Echlo and Shellsy baking halloween and autumn themed cookies

Composition notes: I thought it’d be cute if every cookie had a different design instead of them all being basic. It is cute.

the protagonists but drawn like normal grumpuses (mostly to completely naked) to show body types and fur details. this is accurate to their body types, but not to their heights in comparison to each other

Merry christmas everyone here’s some protags, i haven’t gotten as much writing done this month and i wish i could’ve, but december is such a fucked up and busy month i think it’s understood. here’s extra character design at least

SHELDA’S DATE

“Shelda, how interesting. For this one, you’re an older grumpus named Echlo Mayrain. You’re a cook who likes serving food at charity potlucks, and you meet a lonely old woman at one. You invite her to help prepare the next charity event with you, and she accepts! The two of you meet up alone next time. Have fun!”

Echlo is often confused and dazed, as though constantly in a state of spacing out. Cooking comes naturally to them, so their spaciness doesn’t impair their talent, but it does make some concerned. They don’t like people watching them. As an ex-worshipper of Mother Naturae, will they still get along with one who does worship her, or will this be a match made in poor faith?

Remember that all protagonists are non-binary! Echlo is a non-binary chinchilla-like grumpus, with no significant accessories.

july is disability pride month so i’m gonna let y’all in on some stuff

quite a few of the grumpus dating game protagonists are disabled :3

including:

Evelle completely blind in their lazy eye, and is mostly blind in their other eye. Their guide dog, Glitter, is with them during their date with Chandlo

Mystiff is also half-blind, completely missing one eye

Indigo is colorblind, specifically tritanopia.

Willah has a stutter

Brisson has chronic pain

Caullie, Willah, and Poppi are autistic

Indigo, Echlo, and Hollie have ADHD

Mystiff has PTSD

I’m doing my very best to research and write these correctly and appropriately for the situations. If anyone has little tips about these, I’ve already found a lot of basics and guidelines for writing characters who have these, but any bit to make sure I do it right helps. I’m autistic and have ADHD, so I feel confident in my abilities with them with what I know, but I’d love little tips.

Happy disability pride month!
