These are the Ages of Disaster
Abstract, surreal and all flavours of oddness permeate the universe of 'Ages of Disaster'; set in a caveman era in which creature-races are the predominant life forms, the lives of the Kobold Tribe under the direction of Chief Yarp are in for a constant whirlwind of unending disaster.
Mammoth World
Split into two arcs within the same setting but vastly different storylines - arc 1 is the story of Mammoth World covers the rise of the eponymous and unshakeable Chief Yarp and his trusted Kobold companions.
Drago, the Hunter and his pragmatic ability to always find what he is looking for.
Bim, the wisest Kobold and healer of the tribe who often turns out to be correct.
And Gorki, the Necromancer who does everything in his power to stop the flow of progress for the tribe.
... And who is my character!
The Banner for Arc 1
Gorki, the Terrible
Gorki is terrible; loud; smelly and has a lot of opinions. Not only is his attitude terrible but he constantly contests any possibilities of making real developmental progress for the tribe - rejecting the possibility of inventing written languages and would prefer everybody moved back into the caves rather than huts.

The Skelebros
The most notorious aspect of Gorki is his entourage of skeleton-monstrosities known as "The Skelebros" that he built from the piles of bones he always collects.
I wanted each to serve a different purpose and gave them designs that would reflect this unique ability that they had gained. Swoop could Fly; Pointy could Climb; Stretch was Tall; Dash was Fast; Chomp could Swim and Blam was Tanky!
At the end of the arc; Gorki turned on his tribe and joined the villain.

Uriella's Token
As Uriella's character is deeply rooted in tradition that utilises creatures as tools and live within a forest environment; I was inspired by a jungle and explorer aesthetic to help with her design.
She is supposed to be pragmatic and resourceful and I wanted her design to reflect these elements with everything she is wearing serving a purpose - whether it is to try herbs or hold creatures inside.
I also wanted to create a distinct silhouette for her that would set her apart from any other Yuan-Ti / Snake People to make her stand out in a special way.
