So since I've been reviving Gimmi back into the fold lately, it seemed a crime not to bring back Mashta'.
who I haven't drawn for like, 2 years. (and boy does he look 200% better now than he used to.)

For anybody who hasn't been following me since the dawn of fucking time on FA, it's worth noting that years and years ago I was really into a game called "Overlord." Where you play as a big mean evil villain with a small militia of goblins that follow your commands. It's something like Pikmin, where different goblins do different things, solve puzzles, fight enemies, etc etc.
And they always called you "MAHSHTA" (master) with a heavy lisp, which I just thought was cute as fuck.
And I always sorta head-canon'd that there was a little female Goblin that he was really fond of, and that concept sorta created Gimmi.
which then spawned sort of a spinoff story/fanfic? in my mind where somewhere along the line, the evil overlord just gets defeated in some humiliating way and Gimmi is the only minion who sticks around.

there was also a canon in my mind where it wound up in the Warhammer universe and he becomes a Bloodbowl coach. I think that was the last thing I did with him.

with all that said, I'm kinda playing around with a new potential plotline for him that'll give him more identity and other characters to interact with. Most of it is in the sketchbook, but I'll get around to transferring it to digital so I can fool with it more. The biggest difference design-wise is that his entire body used to be jet black. Now it's a little more clear that it's just the helmet that shades his face.
