Arthur vs The Nilbruffs!

I was inspired to do some drawings based on those pixel-animated shorts on Orphshire.

~ A victorious look at Arthur’s handiwork after shooting that cactus!

~ Arthur was certain those nilbruffs [Tarpook & Nungeek] are closeby!

Tears of Stone: Larmeese

And so Arthur’s new quest begins… with a head collision from a tabby librarian from Prummitsburg.

And from there, he takes Arthur to the Purple Cow Inn to explain the unnatural silence that hangs over this village.

Stay tuned for more, folks!

FWIMOOGS!

As you [Arthur] continue your quest, you wonder which fwimoog has Zawndi’s magic lamp.

After all, there are fwimoogs of different sizes…

Stay tuned for the next part of the chapter!

The djinn has transported you to Sarnashia, which is a big desert, but thankfully, Zuffardistan is straight ahead.

But before you can continue, you’ll have to talk to one of the guards at the border.

FYI, a “Zuffard” is a race of fennec-like creatures that are experts on magic.

If any of you guys are interested in drawing this Cocker-Spaniel-headed thief from my Orphshire series, be my guest. I'm always curious how other artists would depict my creations. 💚

Tears of Stone 4: Berlooth

A little interaction with this black cat who works as a bard in the Purple Cow Inn.

I mean, what’s a bard to do…?

A small talk with the barmaid, Lutilma, who seems to be an avid reader when she's not busy.

Rixilerk's Inventory.

~ A warm welcome!
~ Presenting his potions & his pretzels.
~ Bad dog! Stealing those pretzels behind his back!
~ Never mix potions by drinking them all at once! The results can be disastrous, as demonstrated here by that Nuzzilga [now a frog]!

Based on this segment: bsky.app/profile/hatc...

Here’s another blooper reel in my Orphshire series!

So what happened here demonstrates on why it’s important to keep your mouth shut!

Even when running to get the hero’s attention!

That’s what Larmeese learned after the fact.

For tonight’s gif in Orphshire, I shall now present,
The big debut of an oracular serpent:
Her name is Zoomigi the Odd! That is true!
Ask her a question and she will give it to you!
Never fear a snake that can offer you info!
Zoomigi will tell you what’s there for you to know!

Tears of Stone 8: The CREATURE

Continuation of the previous segment: bsky.app/profile/hatc...

Belloyarm mentioned a creature with long legs when they found Dewilla's apron on the floor.

Could it be the one responsible for these disappearances?

Zawndi’s Inn Part 4: Arthur’s Wish

Previously: bsky.app/profile/hatc...

Before Zawndi gets his genie to take you home, Bonshmere is willing to grant you [Arthur] one wish.

What should it be? I’ll leave that up to you, guys!

The Mirage [Sarnashia Death]

So what happens if you decide to go into the desert instead of heading directly to Zuffardistan to return the lamp to Zawndi?

I should warn you. This segment is HOT!

Based on my previous animation with that fwimoog…

Death 1: What happens if you don’t have the right weapon to kill a fwimoog THIS big?

Death 2: What happens if you take too long to make a move after finding/using the Ice Feather?

Tears of Stone 3: Larmeese’s Regret

More of Larmeese’s explanation to these disappearances in Prummitsburg. His work got him to forget about the missing people, causing him to lose his apprentice, Coothrin.

How sad!

But at least he got Arthur to help him solve this case!
