Reward Art: The Goblin Teens (Patreon)
Content
Super good art by Sagravi. I'd found their gallery recently and knew I wanted a piece in their style this month. Votes went with the Breakfast Club-esque bunch of high schoolers from http://www.hentai-foundry.com/stories/user/luffy316/29804/The-Goblin-Teens . Left to right, you've got Antheia the half-gorgon (note the lack of snake heads in the hair), Polly the mild-mannered, human-raised goblin, Lana the "green punk" human into goblin pop culture, and Nix, one of the world's few half-goblins.
The story wasn't one of the sexiest, but I loved exploring my modern monster/goblin world with these characters.
You can find more of the artist's work over at behance.net/sagravi and instagram.com/sagravi . I look forward to hiring them again in the future for these stylized down to earh pieces.
"Hey!" Lana snapped her fingers so that Nix blinked back to attention. "Greensleeve. Pop your spotters before I pluck em."
"I can't help it," Antheia groaned, rubbing at her face. "These contacts are so uncomfortable!"
"I think she was talking to me," Nix admitted, blushing orange and going back to her second sandwich. "That's the price of beauty, though, huh Ann?"
"And the price for not turning someone to stone." Gorgons had long since worked out a type of glasses that prevented turning others to stone, but it wasn't the most reliable fix. Contacts had come into style for portability and simply looking sexy, but Antheia kept blinking the wrong way and getting them stuck on something. People could always be turned from stone to flesh by biting them, but that was just awkward. Antheia had already had to do it, and with her hair being just a bunch of squirming but normal hair, that meant using her actual mouth instead of a snake-hair's head.
"Were you staring at Liam again?" Tammy asked. She was sitting on a couple of her books to reach the table, crunching on a pickle.
"Maybe..." Nix muttered.
"Girl, he's on the football team! Also he's like twice your size!"
"He's only like a foot and a half taller."
"Well sorry, but once you guys get bigger than me, I kind of lose count."
"Fuckin' stilts, right?" Lana chuckled.
"It's not my fault. I just like tall boys," Nix excused.
"Yea, me too," Tammy scoffed. "Except it's easy for me to find one when I'm all the way down here. You're hunting JOCKS, girl!"
"The most dangerous game," Lana mused in a mockingly spooky tone.
"So what? It's okay if I'm just looking..."
"No, it's creepy if you're just looking," Tammy corrected. "It's SUICIDAL to actually go up to him. There's a system to this kind of thing, Nix! Nerds date nerds, jocks date cheerleaders, and everyone else dates goblins."
"Yea, but you know what? FUCK the system!" Lana declared in a way that made Nix's ears twitch every time. "Don't trust what the humies set you up as and told you that you are. You go after whatever mate you want, sister."
"I'm still half human," Nix muttered. She decided not to add that she had to deal with the nerves of both. She always wondered how much of herself was just plain jitters and which was that instinctive goblin cowardice at work. It was probably how her favorite goblin porn starlet Jaka Kats managed to scream so loud... and she had no idea how Lady Lime kept getting in front of a crowd for all those shows.
"So am I! But that should just mean you're free to choose," Antheia offered brightly. "The world doesn't know what to do with us yet, Nixy. Why don't you show them what to think?"
