Leafy: I didn't want to be rude, not everyone can rotate a book in their head.

Movie: Rotate a book? What are you on about!?

Leafy: Apparently, some can see a shape in their minds, take an object they know and visualize rotating it. But not everyone can, it's unique like rolling your tongue.

Movie: You mean the whole apple thing?

Leafy: Yes, that! I just use books because I think about them too much, I don't get apples often back home.

Movie: squinty eyes You're not a YouTube Essayist, are you?

Leafy: What's a yootoob?

Movie: I envy your innocence.

Tension - Grimshire

I tried the demo for Grimshire [HERE] and my brain hasn't let me drop it in WEEKS, so buckle up as I post some of the fan art and fan trades for this upcoming game. The final cutscene of the demo has me completely on edge and desperate for more! Percy and Theo have their lil hands full and I worry about their standing by the end of the game...

-----

PLEASE check out this game and wishlist it on Steam. It's a farm sim, but it does a number of things differently. The farm is intrinsic to the story and doesn't become a chore to be automated so it's out of your way. It also doesn't devolve into "Become a zillionare by growing beets". If you do not grow and raise food, the villagers will starve. If you do not preserve your food, it will spoil. If you do not balance the needs of herbivores and carnivores.....well, I'd honestly rather not find out.

This one was crazy fun to work on. I like drawing musical instruments, there's a satisfaction to make all those beeps and bops fit into place, especially if the one playing the instrument has non-human hands.

Also, Lemming dude.

What piece do you think they're playing?

Please, let me know what you think of it in the comments. I appreciate every single one I receive.

May I present to you, the Four Seasons!

They're friends of the Jackalope. :)

Each one of them were small when the fateful thunderstorm that created the Jackalope happened, with bolts of lightning sending magic gifts their way. Much like Jack, they were hidden by their parents so as not to attract the attention of the evil Emperor Licorice, and had to explore and learn to control their powers in secret.

Unfortunately, due to respective bouts of teenage carelessness, each one of them were discovered by a Plague Rat, and the Emperor's right hand man, the Elemental Shifter, was the one to collect. Their families were killed, and they were taken to a re-education camp, this one specifically for supercritters that popped up after a certain thunderstorm. Special pillars created magic walls that resisted their powers, and Plague Rat guards were specially designed by Licorice to keep the supers in check, using their tails as cattle prods and creating shields to reflect attacks. The Shifter was in charge, and he had the vast experience and skill to keep these kids in line.

The message was clear--if they had powers, then they were to serve the Emperor... unless they want to personally fight him. Since they couldn't even defeat the Shifter, there was no chance they'd win against Licorice.

The four met in the camp, and quickly developed a close bond. They would defend each other from the abusive wardens and aggressive prisoners, share stories of their youth and favorite legends, and spar with their powers whenever they could sneak away from watchful eyes. They often discussed escape plans and ways they could rebel, but seeing attempts by other prisoners that would result in getting caught and executed... well, they were getting ready to resign themselves to servitude to the emperor.

Then, one day, the Jackalope arrived.

The pillars were torn down; the guards were defeated by being tricked into attacking each other, getting thrown miles away, or meeting their end at his antlers; and Jack fought the Shifter to keep him busy while the prisoners escaped. However, while everyone else ran for it, these four stayed and helped Jack against the Shifter, forcing the latter to flee when the combined power was too much.

After that, both Jack and the seasons decided they liked each other, and the four joined Jack on his quest to overthrow Emperor Licorice. They trained with him, built a rebellion, and eventually, they accomplished their goal of tearing down his empire.

Of course, they still had to rebuild. Not only was there the political scene where some normal members of the rebellion had to clean up, there was the natural scene--Licorice had driven nearly every large mammal to extinction, and when things overgrew, he started fires to scare the population into submission. Remaining flora and fauna were twisted in ways that he pleased--inconsistently sized at best, horrible abominations at worst. He'd poison or dry up rivers, and kill crops and livestock with his decaying powers in order to silence a complaining population. The environment was a mess, and restoring it to something livable was the Four Seasons' job.

So, after being granted immortality by the Jackalope, that's what they've been doing up to the present day, trying to maintain the balance of nature. Not only that, they keep an eye out for any supernatural threats with Jack, hoping to prevent another Licorice.

The Four are as follows:

Winter--A lemming with the powers of ice and darkness, causing fierce winter storms and inducing melancholy and even sleep. Normally he's a testy little guy with an unpredictable temper, the one most likely to sass you, and is often the one who keeps threats imprisoned in his ice fortress. However, he is fairly jolly when Winterdance rolls around (probably because it's his holiday).

Spring--A groundhog who's a friendly, fatherly ball of sunshine, who is as gentle as a lamb but can quickly turn as fierce as a lion. He has the power to grow plant life, communicate with the wildlife, and to summon rain. He's also got a fair bit of super strength. He's flattered with the spring festival Bloomingtide, but he'd rather care for the new buds and baby animals.

Summer--A mongoose with a chill attitude, though sometimes to the point of being kind of lazy. Doesn't get mad much, but when she does, she gets fiery. She's basically a walking sun with the power of heat and light generation, which does lead to fire and things melting, but she'd rather not get that far unless necessary. She also can crackle with electricity if she feels like it. She's cool with her holiday of Sunnyfair.

Autumn--A squirrel with a sweet and generous disposition, though the quiet and pensive type. She's also great with preparing food and has a knack for scaring people (or monsters). She can generate wind, fog, and illusions, use fallen leaves as shields and weaponry, and has a decaying touch she uses only to clean up dead things and fertilize the ground. She appreciates Harvestall.

You might find it odd that I didn't choose a rabbit for spring, since that is one of the most well-known spring symbols. Well, I did think of it... and I thought of an Arctic hare for winter, a jackrabbit for summer, and autumn was always a squirrel. Add the Jackalope, and the squad was overwhelmingly lagomorph with just the one rodent. I decided that this team needed more variety, hence I looked at other critters to represent the seasons, with Jack being the rabbit/hare of the friend group.

I will say that trying to come up with a spring animal other than a rabbit was kind of hard. Then I stumbled upon the groundhog, remembered the whole deal with Groundhog Day, and thought, "Okay, that'll work."

Also, lemmings are hilariously angry and that needs to be a part of pop culture instead of the stupid "groups of them jumping off a cliff" thing.
