Roasted Forest Keeper
🕑 Added 2018-10-03 23:12:25 +0000 UTC So... yes, it's time for Inktober.Actually, it's the 3rd drawing already, yet previous two aren't related to any of my projects, so I don't include them in here (or should I?)
And yes, finally I have some thoughts and ideas about created... creature.
You probably still can recall some memories about Forest and Beach Keepers, and creatures of Scorched Forest (aka Cursed Grove and Lands-Of-Ones-Who-Were-Betrayed), and this is something between them. Mostly this half-scorched Keeper is peacefully roaming around and doing his own things, but sometimes he can act aggressive towards any visible live beings if they (the live beings) do even a little damage to the plants, especially trees. Eventually, the Keeper can went mad and kill those violators (it can be even a deer) who broke the branch or, what is more sinister, made a campfire (just pray that you never will be in a such situation, nor tree nor deepest cave will be able to save you from the distraught Keeper).
Yet, such Keepers can be found only near borders of healthy forest and scorched lands, so chances to meet them are small (of course, if you are not a madman or an adventurer), but if you do find one, please, stick to the roads and do not touch even a fallen branches for your own safety.
No torches are allowed in any time of day or night.
No fire sources at all, only glowing objects such as crystals or beetles are allowed near borders and on the dead lands itself.
P.S.: Also, such Keepers are slowly dying, and can not became a part of an Ark tree to give a new life nor materials for it. At the end they will become Cursed Keepers - absolutely mindless colossi with no goal in their 'afterlife'. Still they will be hostile in any case.
