This is my first time ever doing something as a "speedpaint", where I thought it would be a good idea to throw out a lot of my usual perfectionism and detail focus in favour of experimentation, practice, and seeing where my skills are really at. Never before have I been able to overcome the part of me that won't accept anthing but the best I can possibly do, though there are parts that bother me and I'll blame Paint.NET for those (even though I continue to choose to work with it).
While working on the refsheet I noticed that my ability to draw a character to look the same from different angles is still lacking in a number of areas where I'd like it to be better. I had an unrelated idea involving Cyan in Druid form but didn't want to commission any artists for it, so I thought, why not do it myself?
In doing that I had YET ANOTHER idea that would involve potentially getting in a lot of that previously mentioned practice and experimentation, with a relatively fast turnaround, in a way that is still fun to work on.
So here's my third idea: I'll do a follow-up and turn this into a mini-adventure of sorts, reusing content from a D&D campaign that (mis)appropriates the forgotten realms and which I wrote a bunch of stuff for that I never got far to use in practice. Hopefully I'll start out doing one or two of these per week, and maybe do them more often as I progress.
You might have seen this sort of interactive story thing before, perhaps in forums as well, where a user uploads an illustration and prompts the rest of the community to say what the character should do next, with some narration thrown in maybe.
On a long walk on a hot day, Cyan picks a peach from a tree. He sits against its trunk to eat. The peach is juicy and refreshing...
All suggestions are welcome (aside from the most extreme), there will be no kink shaming here though suggestions don't have to be sexual. Obviously this is subject to my skills, and I'm more likely to choose your idea to progress with if it appeals to me...
You don't only need to suggest actions either, you can ask about Cyan's knowledge and I could answer without using your reply to progress the story.
Cyan's stats:
Species: Vulpine-Feline hybrid furfolk
Sex: male
Class: Druid
Level: 2
Stats: (STR 8) (DEX 13) (CON 11) (INT 10) (WIS 13) (CHA 9)
For inventory, skills etc., ask.
I will make the decision of what to illustrate for the next submission on Friday 21st. If there are no suggestions or non acceptable then, I will either continue with my own idea or cancel.

Don't be shy now~ but maybe I should have written something up about the world as a source of inspiration. Now considering it even though it's probably too late.
Thank you for the enthusiasm though 💙if something does come to mind later you're welcome to suggest it, also in a private note if you're not sure about it.

You're so sweet, and the feeling is mutual 💙
I've been thinking about whether I would include others' characters in a cameo or even as more characters with a longer term appearance if they wanted it. The contrast in colour and brightness would be interesting to see if you wanted Jake to show up (or more!)
