Ted! How are you!? I haven't heard from you in so long! Please reach out. I'd love to catch up. And yeah the morkborg guys are so incredible with how they allow stuff to be made. Excellent hearing from you! 😁

Day 8 of #MÖRKTOBER is Wizard! A sinister staff is held high by a boar-skulled sorcerer! O' to be unraveled by the most brutal of fireballs, having your bones blasted and scattered for eons. Now, await the collapse of the very stars you hapless cadaver, your mind still lives on!

Day 7 of #MÖRKTOBER is Shard! The vicious surprise of violence explodes in a shattered glass across the throat! Best to stay improvisational when your weapons have been stolen and you're cornered in a junk filled alleyway. A broken bottle could give you just enough of an edge!

Day 6 of #MÖRKTOBER is Husk! Terrible omens indeed when long dead corpses bloat and explode! What awfulness emerged from these smoldering cadavers? Wisps of smoke seem to spell out your doom with fragile letters in the air. You've inhaled the vapor already so it may be too late.

Day 5 of #MÖRKTOBER is Stain! Enough guts have been spilled and soiled your pathetic rags that offered no protection at all! Black stains signal a trip to the void if there's any room left after this brutal melee. It's only a small death after all, perhaps your luck will hold!

The Namebinder!
This ghastly gladiator dons the soul sapping Spirit Socks and a Shawl of Sobriquet! If he scrawls out your name and on his robes you cannot harm him! A quick title writ on the blade and it will lead you to that person wherever they are and deal extra damage!

Day 4 of #MÖRKTOBER is Howl! A terrible and common omen that echoes through the disgusting night skies! You can almost make out your own name on the wind as the emaciated wolf looks down on you with a grin so foul that your very flesh begins to ache.

Day 3 of #MÖRKTOBER is Daggers! Twin tools take out the eyes with a putrid precision! Always a dangerous combination when these evil edges are around. Thrown or thrusted, the results are similar; a satisfying "Shluck" and a slick sluice of sanguine slime. Beware the blades!

Casey Yano is great! Always been a big fan.

The Bloodbathogen!
This terrifying triple threat has been stapled together to be three times as scary! It doesn't matter what bites you, you'll be sure to turn into something awful or maybe even a combination of these bonded brothers of bedlam! Be it bark, blood or brains!

Day 2 of #MÖRKTOBER is Maw! Tough and dangerous, this guardian of the Offal River rips apart boats and passengers alike when he emerges from the rot. The meanest mouth, the gruesome grinner. A dreaded hunger that inhabits every hair, fold of flesh, and fearsome fang. Be sure to spend his favor fast!

Day 1 of #MÖRKTOBER this year is Frog! A horrible hop in the swamps hands you some light danger and a bit of the arcane! Frogs make their way into ponds and potions alike! Be sure not to obliterate everything so you can use its skin and bones for a foul formula of slimeskin!

jouste @jouste.bsky.social · 12d

Likewise! Had such a great time!

The Confrogration!
Don't touch! This hopping horror from the pit has been picked up by a hapless person who's doomed to be demonically enslaved to this satanic toad! A slow and gruesome transformation is in store for any who are foolish enough to fetch this fiery frogfiend.

Henhaus!
Every chicken's favorite pitchfork paladin Henhaus! This rattling battler of the barnyard takes courageous care of the fowl with a surprisingly sturdy skeleton and a reinforced straw hat for a buckler! As long as you don't mess with the hens you'll avoid his wrath!

Gulpierre of the Portholes!
Swimming in from Deeptown, this big-mouthed brawler brings along his favorite pipe and switchblade to every scrap! The Portholes' loudest member, Gulpierre is known to be pretty bad at keeping secrets, but his trash talk could top off a landfill!

The Snowfriend!
Amy hid behind a snowman while running away from the mean kids, always picked on for her shabby clothes and terrible haircut. She found a pretty rock that gave that snowbank an awful sentience! A directive was given to the golem "Eat all the bullies please."

Bitebeard!
The oldest known Lizardian Bitemaster ever recorded! Having lost most of his teeth through time and toil, Bitebeard must now dual-wield fang daggers to keep masticating in this bite-based economy! There are tons of young lizards ready to take down this chompion!

yeah that was a big focus. I always draw the back view and i knew the cheeks would prop up like ears

jouste @jouste.bsky.social · Aug 21

hey thanks so much! I shifted a bunch here. originally it was a snake with human teeth but it was taking away from the face of the main character so I made it trunk like and when I finally did the matching finger color it came together.

Grinfinger!
This top-hat hellion controls the disgusting digit called The Grinfinger! Coiled and contained in a sinister chapeau, the fearsome forefinger is marked on the wearer's withered hand and feasts on blood and brains. The twitching tendril also seems awfully long!
