Description This is for
I decided to do a digital art for this one! Yayyyyy....

Of note: Hopkins does not like wearing clothing. He often does not, he prefers to wear nothing. The only "outfit" up here that he wears for long periods of time is #1- however he doesn't really look like that until much, much later. About 20 years after the events that I have been describing as his story, in fact.
BUT ANYWAY HERE THEY ARE.

1: Already discussed, kind of. After certain events occur (I will not detail just yet) Hopkins has to go back to his underground home. Charlie had previously let Hopkins borrow his father's old camera, after Hopkins had found it (and kind of stolen it). Hopkins liked it so much, Charlie decided to let him have it. After Hopkins leaves, he is not seen again for 20 years. He meets up with Anna again, who is now 26. Some more things happen (again, will not detail) and Hopkins has to leave again. Before he leaves Anna takes a bright red scarf and ties it around his neck. He asks why, and she says "so I won't lose you again as easily".
And the camera still works! It becomes a plot point. The reason it still works it magic, but the specific magic I will not detail either.
Heh, sorry a lot of this is: "See, I know why- but I'm not gonna tell you because I don't want to reveal that information just yet... not like this." XD

2: (Ahhh I made his neck too skinny....) I mentioned before that Hopkins has to "put up with" with Anna's tea parties. Well, Charlie's girlfriend Laura decided to take it a step further and make him an adorable little suit. She makes cosplays, so it wasn't too hard for her to do.

3: Winter wear! Goblins like Hopkins live in deep underground caverns and tunnels, so weather isn't exactly something they have to deal with. Cold specifically, he has no fur and absolutely hates cold. Unfortunately they don't really make beanies for creatures with ears like that. Laura COULD make him something to keep his head warm with ear holes, but Hopkins isn't going to ask. It would hurt his pride to ask for help like that. Besides, then his ears would be cold.

4: As previously mentioned, Hopkins generally dislikes clothing. Goblins no materials to make clothing, and never found it necessary. Those weird humans. Living up there where weather happens, and with their genitalia that they prefer to hide. Goblins don't have any genitalia to hide, they don't really reproduce.

That is all!Β

Hahaha.Β  So cute and funny, as always.
Is it a short scarf or perhaps a Fred Jones style Ascott Β  Along with the camera, Anna, Charlie and Laura, they could certainly be 'Meddling Kids' LOL Β  Seriously though, I like the scarf, it adds a nice touch of colour and individuality.

Haha, top hat and tails.Β  Such indignities he is put to

I like how you used this task to add further details about his species and anatomy/biology (or perhaps that should be geology?).Β  And his overview is just perfect

It's probably closer to an ascot, now that you mention it. It's nothing really specific, it's just a piece of fabric that Anna tied around his neck- but you're right, it's definitely more of an ascot than a scarf.Β

"Clothing is terrible - oh Hopkins...! The expression he makes is HILARIOUS. Those flattened ears, those narrowed gleaming eyes, that tense mouth - it's clear he gets distressed by dislikes clothing~Β 


I'll be honest, I hadn't expected him to have any clothing at all, with exception from maybe a scarf Clothing does not seem to suit him - he's a sentient rock with a snarky attitude goblin, and for some reason, I do not think goblins were clothing like humans do XD - BUT Hopkins looks ADORABLE when he's wearing clothes! His outfits are so cute!

(I can imagine why Anna ropes him into tea parties, and why Laura (who looks pretty fashionable, and clearly has good taste in hobbies ) would sew him a suit~! ^^ The tiny tophat is such a nice touch, even if Hopkins looks adorable horribly miserable wearing it )

His winter clothing also is so cute, and I almost snorted aloud at his uncomfortable rolling around as he pulls his beanie over his ears and eyes! He may be a sentient being, but there's something animal-like about him that makes him adorable.


Speaking of adorable - his red scarf and its meaning. I cannot help but be curious about Hopkins' disappearance, about the importance of the polaroid, and about Anna's character development. Their reunion must be quite sweet - and I adore Anna's sentiment; she doesn't want to lose her friend again :')


The clean shading of his piece also is nicely done - especially around Hopkins' ears! - and this really is a fun piece to look at! Can't wait to see more of your artworks depicting this little, mysterious goblin of yours~! ^^

Laura does have a good taste in hobbies. I say that mostly because she gets a lot of them from myself. Like meticulously ranting about differences between classic literature and their frequent inaccurate depictions in media- if that could be considered a hobby.

"Sentient rock with a snarky attitude", that is... accurate. Soon there will be "sentient rock who is completely done with everything" and "sentient dirt clod who smiles too much".

And thank you for the complements

This is amazing! I knew his wardrobe would turn out a bit odd because of his legs and spines, but seeing that his human acquaintances managed to get him into a suit I'm impressed! It's great also seeing him struggling with the winter wear, when its necessary but pride is stopping him. XD Come on Hopkins, you could even get a custom ear'd beanie!Β 
But great work showing off the task when the character doesn't need/like clothes. Relating it to the story is perfect.

Clearly, Hopkins is uncomfortable in clothing, but he looks cute in it! Especially the little suit and top hat. Β That outfit is my favorite Great job here!

Teehee, I was wondering if Hopkins wore clothes!
His suit is adorable. I think Laura had the right idea there.

Aw he's so cute!! I love the outfits! They're all adorable! But he looks just as cute without them too. I love his expression and comment on this task. "Clothing is terrible!" Hehehe

So since he disappears for 20 years in guessing that goblins don't age the same way or at the same rate as humans. What is their lifespan like?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Certain-Oddities In reply to Drayah [2017-07-10 20:57:07 +0000 UTC]

Well they live a pretty long time. Just to give you an idea, Hopkins in most of these pictures is about 50 (although in the first one he's about 70).
Goblins tend to live to around 250, but that's an average. Some live to be 350, and some only 100- it depends on circumstance.

They're rocks that have come to life via magic, so they start out whatever size the rock was (which can vary quite a bit). But they do grow gradually over the entire course of their lifespan- so Hopkins is actually slightly larger by the second time Charlie and Anna see him (though not enough to notice- especially Anna since she grew quite a bit more over that time.)
They do get growth spurts, Hopkins ends up being very huge. He also lives to be about 500.

The first outfit is definitely my favorite (And probably Hopkins's too, haha!) His expression is just too cute, and the red scarf add a nice pop of colour to compliment his eyes!

It doesn't help that with the body type he has, it's actually difficult to find clothing that fits properly...Β Β

He doesn't want to be adorable, he wants to be INTIMADATING AND FIERCE.

Which according to him, he is unless he's wearing stupid clothing.
