Description This is Poe! Just a little WIP doodle that I wanted to post. He is a little half-goblin boy who has been running around inside my head lately.

His biological mother was the daughter of a noble family, who was attacked by a goblin band while traveling. To her family's horror, after the incident they found that she was pregnant. Fearing shame and scandal, they kept the pregnancy a secret and planned to kill the child when he was born. However when his mother delivered him, a household maid came to his rescue. She begged that she be allowed to take the baby and raise him. She was given permission, with the stipulation that she leave the estate forever and never reveal the child's origins. The maid agreed and kept her word. The maid named the baby boy Poe, and loved him fiercely in spite of his fey heritage.

Poe is a typical eight year old boy, with a few caveats...his skin is a pale sage color, his ears are pointed, he is older than he looks and he has very limited magical abilities. He can transform into a badger if he is angry or frightened, and he can naturally perform rudimentary curses and charms without training. (If a sorcerer or a mage ever chose to take him on as an apprentice, Poe could potentially become a powerful magic user.) Poe physically appears to be eight years old, but he is actually eleven. He ages slower than humans but faster than goblins. In terms of personality, Poe is a sweet-heart but he hides it by acting tough and causing trouble--because of his looks and his penchant for trouble, he has a hard time making friends. Poe wants to be good, but he lashes out if his feelings are hurt (and he is a bit sensitive). He is mischievous but he isn't mean-spirited. He feels a kinship with animals and can often be found near them. Poe wishes to become human. Poe has no idea that he is a member of a noble family, and believes the maid is his mother. He doesn't ask questions about his father. He knows that he is half goblin, and is embarrassed by this fact. He is extremely protective of his mother and gets into fights if other children say bad things of her.

AAAAAAAAAND that's Poe. ^u^

I just felt like sharing him. I think he is cute.

Aww, you already know that I adore Poe. He is SUPER cute. I love his grumpy little face. It makes me sad that he is such a sweetie but gets treated so poorly. I really like his story; I feel it is quite unique.

As for his design; I like his sage skin tone and his brown hair. His hair is probably my favorite thing about his design. It is very fluffy and cute.♥
I love the cream shirt, and that his colour scheme feels repeated throughout, though I wonder about making his pants a little darker, perhaps?---he seems very high-key all throughout. Other than that, I have no critiques. WELL, except maybe it would be nice if he had one pointy tooth that sticks out of his mouth, on the one side. That would be very cute. But seriously;

I love Poe. I want to see more of him. c:

Dawww. I want to hug him, and kiss him, and give him lots of cookies I like the clothing you put him in, too. It seems very fitting for him.

=^u^= Thanks! I think he is cute too. He's been my little mental buddy at work. I have a few more doodles of him, he's going to pop up in my gallery more. I keep trying to draw him with shoes, but he wants to be bare-footed all the time.

Oh yay! I can't wait to see him more! And I don't blame him for not wearing shoes. Todd makes fun of me all the time because I am a free spirit and free spirits ONLY wear shoes and socks if occasion calls for it.
