this is not the first sketch of thorn i made, but it certainly is the most important

I think Hyacinth and the wizard make a cute couple

and then here's thorn! hair for days, hat for years

where is the option to marry thorn tho

i really can't help but feel marie is a long sibling what with the hair and pointy ears

it was meant to be

>>95269
i keep trying to imagine thorn and hyacinth living in a house together and it keeps ending in disaster. hyacinth may seem like the Ultimate Tsundere but her bluntness is just her.

also lets be real: hyacinth would probably kill thorn if she had to live with him. or thorn would set the house on fire. place bets on which would happen first in this rousing game of alternative universe fun times

>>95272
stay tuned for thorn quest: just a bunch of cute drawings of thorn. there's no plot, but does it really matter

This quest is super adorable and I love it already.

>>95276
That is very nice of you to say, thank you! I have to admit I was pretty nervous starting something like this, but it's been a lot of fun so far ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

Isn't it more of an Escort Quest? :V

>>95272
Do we get to take him out on dates to places we RLY wanna see get accidentally blown up?
THIS QUEST IS TOO CUTE I DIG IT....

>>95281
Look, as a ranger, she's fine with the implication that fetching something makes her a dog. Animals are cool. But the implications of being an escort just gets creepy.

But seriously, what's with the SJW hair?

>>95301
Its cute!

>>95301
Maybe she is a SJW, who knows. She already hates one man

>>95281
if we wanna get technical, it's kind of both? it's a fetch quest in terms of what thorn's trying to do (recover a lost artifact) and an escort quest in terms of hyacinth's responsibilities (making sure thorn doesn't die). truly the best of both rpg plot devices, because who doesn't want to wander aimlessly around a world map, constantly backtracking, all while taking care of a hapless npc

>>95301
it's just an undercut. y'all need to chill out about hyacinth's hair, for real

>>95305
everyone and everything in fetch quest is a sjw. the fire? a sjw. the sun? uh, obviously a sjw, i mean come on. the air? well, i hate to break it to you buddy,

>>95307
The trace amounts of carbon dioxide in the air are hardcore SJWs. They only make up 0.03% of the atmospheric gases but demand equal representation. Oxygen-breathing species have been holding them down for TOO LONG.

i forgot to post this one before but this thumbnail sketch of thorn cracks me up every single time i look at it, so here ya go

>>95309
this is adorable.........

>>95301
There are only a few things that haircut can be saying.
1. "die cis scum"
2. "I am a lesbian"
3. "I chickened out half way through shaving my head"
4. "I have problems with authority"
5. "I have the right facial structure to make this haircut look good"
And it's usually saying multiple of those.

Hyacinths hair: the cause of WW3 apparently?

>>95316
It gets them into more hairy situations than Thorn does.

>>95313
it's a fucking haircut. what's going on

>>95313

I can't believe sjws invented the undercut

>>95317
CUT THIS OUT

>>95322
i dont really know what all this buzz is about

>>95324

guys, don't you think this discussion thread is getting a little...........tangled

>>95326
these puns are to dye for

>>95320

NOT THAT IT'S MUCH INTEREST TO ANYONE BUT MYSELF BUT: I've started to hand-write updates to actually keep myself on track this time so I don't disappear for weeks on end. Here's a hipstery photo of the update from last week or so :U

>>96928
wow your handwriting is neat

Huh. If the size of that notebook type thing is what i think it is, then it's a neat idea to get it down when inspiration strikes. Do you think you'll do the same for art direction, or wait til you sit down at your comp for it? (It's alright to disappear for a couple weeks, some authors/artists disappear for months!)

>>96929
aww geez thank you! in my opinion, my handwriting varies from "pretty alright and legible" to "good lord what is this even supposed to be", so i appreciate it :D

>>96930
this notebooks is 5x7, i think? and i tend to thumbnail panels in tandem with the writing just to give me a better idea on things once i get the chance to sit down and make the update proper! gimme a sec and i'll dig up some little snapshots of those too!

and these are the thumbnails from the last update! sometimes the goal is to just understand how the setting feels vs setting up the exact framing

Wow, these are really detailed for rough ideas.

you should make comics, i'm genuinely impressed O:

sorry for my million year hiatus right after i said i was gonna get on track with updating. have a sketchy thorn as an apology

>>98390
:D

ooh also some quick clarifications given the recent update:

1. thorn didn't cast any sort of spell to identify the amulet, he was just physically inspecting it.

2. the amulet has technically always had runes on it, it's mentioned in a previous update when Thorn is inspecting the amulet: "His fingers pass long ancient runes etched into the golden rim surrounding a smooth gem, its color ever-changing in the flickering firelight." i retroactively added them which is why it's not in the first drawing of the amulet, shush

3. hyacinth never had the amulet on, and it never touched her skin before. she's wearing leather gloves, so when she bought it from the shopkeep, it's only been in contact with her gloves and her satchel. thorn, however, has touched it barehanded. do with that information what you will

>1. thorn didn't cast any sort of spell to identify the amulet, he was just physically inspecting it.
I was really just being silly and flippant when I made as if Thorn's Thorness caused a simple Identify spell to misfire and explode. Identify isn't even on his spell list!

i was gonna write the update today but then i drew...this...instead

Adorable. Not pictured: the trail of destruction behind them.

just wanted to throw down a quick message: i've been trying to update fetch quest at least once a week lately, but things might be a little bumpy for a while because my tablet pen just broke. so until that gets fixed/replaced, there's gonna be another unfortunate pause. sorry dudes.

in better news, the next update will really get the ball rolling in terms of progressing the story! i'm pumped about that! there's a lot of cool things i want to do with fetch quest, and i hope you all enjoy them!

i also just want to say thanks to all you guys who read fetch quest and suggest on it and stuff! i know my update schedule has been rocky at best (especially because this is my first time doing this and i'm basically flying by the seat of my pants figuring out how to write this thing), so i super appreciate sticking with it through the bumps.

>>98637
NICE
