30 - Slither
So... there wasn't really much of an option here other than "do something with snakes I guess? lols" which was also why I didn't wanna do a snake thing back with Loop... but I mean originally I thought I'd just do some relatively boring snaking about pose with Julian, my rat-snake because... I dun fuckin know... But at some point nearing the wire, I thought of this scene and thought "....yeah, fuck it, go all out. That'll probably get more attention anyways."

Sooo... I slapped together a scene using my actual snake, Mercy, who I've never fucking drawn before, so this is also her first reference art and I had to design her entirely on the fly like this, even though I sorta had how I wanted her to look in my head all along, based on her stand-in art/icon and the changes I knew I'd make in my head. (Technically first time drawing the big tiger and smol dog too, but... there's not enough effort in that for it to matter here. XD) The scene and ideas are then further adapted from the short lived FAPP campaign I was running, in which Mercy was part of the secondary team of NPCs that the party interacted with... least until Kal "stole her" and forced her into the main party team for a whiiiiile. So... I tossed all those characters into the background to better set the scene... while Helena got to spend some quality time with snek-friend. X3

Definitely check out Maven's repost of this later, she wrote a really great story snippet to set the scene! I'll try to remember to add a link...
