Vesper of the Week; Interveiw

This interveiw was done between one of our oldest members; Stardexi and Keeble! Please Enjoy :D

Keeble>
Thank you for taking the time to do this interview! Can you give us an introduction and tell us why you picked this vesper?

Dexi>
No problem! I'm hella amped, well to begin hi my name is Dexi/Star/Nick as most know me in the server. I've been with the species since day one and happy I've stuck around to see how much its grown!
To the reason why I chose my boy, its simple he's my closest character and an extension of me that I can bring into art. He's one of the few designs ive made that have truly stuck and remained in Sona status so strongly, so it only felt right to choose him to be shared with the vesp world and given all the love he deserves!

Keeble>
Thats valid!! I remember he also has a furry form! His colors are v v fun so imagine the community will bave a blast Can you give us a description of Riot as a vesper? Personality, history, etc!

Dexi>
He does! He actually started off as a warm up adopt that I was going to sell but got q u i c k l y attached too hehehe,, Personality n History are interesting with this lad,, Despite his namesake hes actually a very docile vesp compared to his anthro counterpart he really only shows the chaotic nature when he is out sailing and on his own with his pet companions he calls his "Sailor crew" . Living on his own in the outer edges of the smaller islands of Akio,but mostly is acutually out at sea or atlease constantly sailing to check on the other small islands so he has created his own lil house boat that he mostly lives in! Mainly his job/self proclaimed job is he tracks what washes up on the shores of the islands and takes them in to be repurposed for other vesps or himself. He thoroughly enjoys his living style! He wouldn't trade it for the world! To others Riot is seen as a mystery almost, little to no vesps in his clan are close to him other than those who do alot of trades and search requests for him!

Keeble>
Apologies on delay! Was handling approvals and last weeks VOTW stock market rewards :0!! That honestly sounds like a very neat story for him! Reminds me of how [pardon kinda obscure reference??] Tinkerbell would find lost items and repurpose or fix them! A Houseboat is very new! Have not seen that before for a vesper :D!!! What are some of your favorite aspects of this characters design and/or story? How so?

Dexi>
All good! Not obscure at all he does take inspo from that as one of my childhood nicknames was Tinkerbell! So you are right on the money with that! Story wise, the fact hes not tied to one place his home comes with him and even since hes gone so much he still knows he has the support of his clan. He even takes note to find neat lil trinkets for the young ones to keep hehe. Its one of those life fantasies that seems so much fun to live and live out all those adventures to your hearts extent, fully devoted to it! Design wise + character wise is the spikes he has and wears with the hoodie he got in the pony lands! Hes noticed how when he is taking a swim and is diving for things that more people often leave him be as his silhouette looks more like the monsters that lurk it gives him a sense of security in his job! On a smaller scale his design overall is just fun to me imo, with the simple but fun pallete he just comes so naturally to draw!

Keeble>
That makes sense!! I love his story; it gives both a feeling of comfort but also childhood nostalgia!! Which is always absolutely wonderful What are some things you would change about them? Why?

Dexi>
ooo thats a toughie, honestly if i was able to remove the hoodie without removing his most notable trait being his spines along his back and tail i think that would be the only thing but even then it nothing major as adding the reason why he has this hoodie adds more to his story and one of his many adventures!

Keeble>
That's fair! I know there is now a cursed item for the enraged spines but unfortunately not that of what'd mimic mythic spines :< I do enjoy his hoodie though! Its a really cute addition to the design How long have you had this character? Andd What does this character mean to you?

Dexi>
Aye thats valid but like i said no biggie i found a way to work around that issue so no rules are broken and it still makes me hella happy with how his vesp form came out! Hes actually about to reach a year old! Funny enough I made him on Christmas after I had gotten home from visiting fam! He means everything to me, I struggled for a while to find a design or make a design that truly felt fitting to who i am even if its in an abstract way with him. To finnaly have a design that I can attach myself to it feels like i won the lottery!

Keeble>
Ayeaye!! Im hopin to participate this round :D!! So itll be fun to doodle the wee spikes And i get that! Ive gone through sonas like no bodys buisness, it can be difficult to find something or someone to add as an extension of yourself! Its amazing that Riot is that for you!! Onto the last part of the interveiw! What are you looking for this week? Anything artists should avoid and anything youf like to give a bonus during the week?

Dexi>
Avoiding theres nothin much, go wild! Id love to see some stuff with his pets as they are all star themed, hes even trained them to help navigate using the stars in the sky!

Keeble>
Noted!! Thank you again for taking time to sit and talk with me! Im sure youll be getting a lot of art this upcoming week! As for the pets, i assume they are in his Masterlist inventory yes?

Dexi>
Yup yup!!

Keeble> 
Got It!! :>
