Description I hope I'm not boring you all to death with all this Fortuna and Folly artwork, but I've been practicing drawing my characters for a while now and I'm starting to feel happy enough with the results that I can share them with the world. I have DollsDevils to thank for my recent bout of Fortuna and Folly-related creativity, because she drew the definitive picture of this pair. Hell, it's the picture I'VE been using as a reference FOR MY OWN CHARACTERS.

I wanted to sketch Fortuna and Folly side by side to show their size difference. Fortuna is about 4 feet tall, whereas Folly is about 2.5 feet.

Cobgoblins exhibit dimorphism. Most of them look like Folly--small, slightly hunched, with long forearms. About 1 to 3 percent of every cobgoblin brood is made up of tallbloods like Fortuna. Tallbloods aren't particularly well-suited to subterranean life, but since their size makes them more difficult to eat for many of the cobgoblins' 200+ natural predators, the genes have persisted for hundreds of years.

I finished a really kickass drawing of Folly the other day, so stay tuned for that soon.

Thanks! Ben & Winslow is fun but it feels good to stretch out a bit and work on something completely different.

Great to see more of these characters!
lol I'd feel strange if I used someone's rendition of my characters for reference... BUT HEY! If it works then it good!

It's not as strange as it sounds, actually. I had always wanted DollsDevils to draw these two, and the images I've had in my head always kind of reflected that. Her drawings solidified their look for me and have really given me clarity!
