New Piper design!!! They’re in a Treasure Planet-inspired setting and in a whole new class configuration! This should be interesting!

Had to give them the Jim Hawkins haircut… mostly because I also have it, but what better place to pay such stylish tribute? I’ve wanted to be Jim since 2002, the amount of gender euphoria streaming off that boy has never wavered.

And, I ended up taking up a new hobby from them! I spin oxbow meteor now!

[Image: a digital drawing of my sorcerer/warlock, Piper. They are a young teen with very shiny copper hair that is fluffy on top and pulled into a tiny braid at the nape, ambiguously human save for the slight downward point of their ears. They have light golden skin covered in freckles of various sizes and a mischievous smile, and they stand confidently brandishing a double-ended rope dart (a weapon comprised of a long, red rope with a shiny copper weight at either end). They are wearing loose, green trousers cuffed at the ankle and tied with a twisted red belt, a nondescript black undershirt (hezi), a dark teal jacket with wide, loose sleeves (banbi), a lighter teal sleeveless jacket with an orange parallel collar (bijia), and no shoes. All the teal and green fabrics have faint patterns, floral or geometric. They have a mischievous expression with a closed, cat-like smile. To the side there is this text, bullet-pointed with tiny gears: “Piper Copperchild • 8 14 14 12 10 17 • Clockwork Soul • Hexblade • Beloved by the Patina • Fourteen years old • Sorcerer who hits things, for some reason”. The word “Patina” is fainter and glitching slightly. Beneath that is a headshot of them in profile with a demure expression, in a slightly less simplified style, where the undercut of their hair becomes visible, darker where it’s shaved short, and matching their eyebrows. They have rounded features and dark, soulful eyes. The background is of the whole image is teal with rusty brown splotches and a faint grid, with their head framed stylistically by a fourteen-petaled-and-houred clock. End ID.]

(Also… backstory design and some notes under the cut…)

I wanted their current design to look like it could have been salvaged from the remains of its predecessor (though I don’t really know how their clothes could have survived what they would have been through… shhh, magic)! They’ve cut themself a new name in a similar fashion, just by hacking off the damaged (and damaging) and constricting pieces of it that never suited them. Their new outfit is far more practical for their activities and their personality, as out of the enclave of the cult they don’t have to conform their behaviour, but they are still in all the same colours, as they still carry with them its beliefs. As they grow and learn and eventually embrace becoming who they want to be rather than the person everyone else has always wanted them to be, they will begin to wear their own colours (which I already have a palette for that I love. Piper belongs in sunny oranges and yellows).

[Image: the same as above, but with a few changes, chiefly to Piper’s appearance: their hair is longer and pulled into a topknot with a golden ornament (xiaoguan), with a long, irregularly curly strand left loose on either side of their face. Their outfit is comprised of most of the same fabrics: a pleated, light teal, ankle-length skirt, with a yellow waistband over the chest that’s belted with a long, red ribbon (qixiong ruqun), over an orange sleeveless jacket with a familiar collar (bijia), which itself is over a dark teal robe with long, wide sleeves (daxiushan), and a nondescript brown robe beneath. Their name over in the text on the side is “Piety in Perseverance”. The background is devoid of the rust splotches. End ID.]
