I’m now imagining a little trio of a Tooth Fairy Burglar, a Freelance Brownie, and a Lesser Vampire all chilling in the same house of a forgetful mother, a hoarding father, and an accident-prone child. *Brownie, gesturing to the living room chock-full of comodities and decor:* HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO WORK IN THESE CONDITIONS!? *Tooth Fairy, collecting the kid’s knocked out pre-molars:* Lmao imagine working in these conditions. *Vampire, actively biting the father:* Give me a minute, I’m trying to improve your working conditions.
the gorgeous opulence woven into these designs really make them stand apart from the other spirits which makes sense for their background. I would definitely have befriended one as a child and end up accidentally adopting a weird cat.
@@VRMoth someone in a previous video made a comment saying about how I use the same colour palette for each design and I just thought ‘you wanna bet.’ Glad you like them, they were so much fun ❤️
I'm already getting head cannons that Brownies dislike tooth fairies because they also enter people's home and feel like the fairies are entering their turf
@@Aterribleshame that was something I meant to mention. Given how quiet tooth fairies are, they often cause brownies to jump with freight. So yeah, brownies don’t particularly like tooth fairies.
I really like the F.A-to-bug explanation. You're right, it does seem a little distant and alien. Like if you saw it there would be an unspoken rule like: leave it alone, let it do it's work.
This is a different direction than I expected. I was thinking you'd go down the line of medical aid fairy. Help doctors and dentists in exchange for whatever is cut off the patient.
So cool!! Here in central México, the tooth mouse is way more common than the fairy. Such a big part of childhood. Every school I went to as a kid had a stock of little mouse shaped boxes for kids to put their tooth in if it fell off at school.
@@ariariaris oh that’s amazing, I had no idea. Tbh I was quite surprised I found as much information as I did on tooth fairy myths, it’s great to learn more.
I would be interested in seeing your take on Will-O-Wisps and Omens. I think that you could have a very unique turn on why said spirits act the way they do, as the historical reasoning why Arthurome's Tooth Fairies actually take teeth is super unique and on brand with the rest of the ethereal spirits.
Time to binge every episode int his series! Holy shit, after seeing the vampire and werewolf episode, you've absolutely earned yourself another subscriber. This is amazing
I love this so much! I have a few suggestions for creatures to include. Sirens, but leaning more to their actual myth-accurate bird lady depiction. Familiars, how would those work? Would there be a baseline for all familiars, or are they all very different from each other, some being tiny and others larger? Mermaids, I imagine that all sorts of funky stuff could be done with that. Literal sea-monkeys, anyone? Oh, and the Kraken! What if that wasn't a giant squid, but maybe an amalgamation of various giant sea creatures from myth, such as Leviathan, Jormangandr and the Loch Ness Monster? I live in the UK, so I love the celtic creatures being added, but I have more of those too! Kelpies, the horses that drag people into bodies of water and drowns then. Could be turned into some kind of lake guardian type, keeping humans away to stop their pollution. The Dullahan, known better as the Headless Horseman, also originally a celtic grim reaper type. Maybe a spirit there to guide the souls of those just passed to wherever they go, for those souls have no idea where to got, which could also explain why some souls might linger as ghost of various kinds, they simply haven't been found by a Dullahan yet. One of my favourites is the banshee, those girlies get such a bad wrap, the very definition of shooting the messenger. They come to warn people of the impending loss of a loved one, something they are clearly distressed by too, and this is the thanks they get? And maybe a more popular and goofy one too, as a treat, like the Leprechaun
Love all these suggestions and they are most certainly on my list. Krakens, dullahan and mermaids all exist within the setting to some extent, and I’m looking forward to discuss them.
I love your videos so much! I think size comparisons of the spirits (to a grown up human for example) would be a nice addition.. keep up the great work!
Perhaps its the spook season energy, but i didnt really consider much in the way of non scary entities to reference. Plenty of options from all around the world of carying levels of benevolance. Like dryads, Ents, muses, leannán sídhe, etc.
they're adorable i love them so much!! i always like to draw when listening to ur videos they help me think outside the box instead of going into preconcieved notions or stereotypes of thingies
With worldbuilding as my mane hobby, I can honestly say that your work is inspiring. Your creature design is logical AND unique. Your voice and storytelling makes the video still watchable for people with low attention. Keep making videos like this, we need this.
I've watched several of your videos and this one is definitely my favorite so far. Your thought process is fascinating to listen to, and these two designs fit in well with the ecology of the Ethereal Spirits you've designed so far while simultaneously feeling much more approachable and friendly, as you stated. They're JUST cute enough to feel like friends, not foes, while being weird enough to feel alien, mysterious, and intriguing. I get a lot of bat from them, although I know the vampires were more bat-based, but I think that it's also appropriate considering the shared visual language. The Fairy Burglar and Artisan are definitely characters I would want to learn about interact with in a game.
Your level of creativity is inspiring, these videos make my Sunday 😄 I love the lore of these guys - they are probably my favourite ethereal spirit so far! Would love to see a video about the gods of your setting
@@Prince-bt3qs thank you for the lovely comment ❤️ I will certainly do some more dedicated lore on the gods, however for the moment I’m using the ethereal spirits as a vehicle to drop in bits and pieces of information from all over the setting.
Love these designs & unique takes on folkloric creatures! I dont see Brownies alot so i was happy to see youre take & the Tooth Faries are also a great design. Have you ever considered having Black Hounds (Barghests, Gytrash, Grims) in youre setting? What aetherial reaction would cause a spectral hound to haunt the crossroads & moors of youre world? Also i would to see how you redisign then to youre setting👍🏻
@@Woolydroidart I guess it would depend on wether you want them to be antagonistic spirits or benevolent spirits. Antagonistic ones may be a reaction to civilisation destroying nature to build roads & are born as wandering threats that appear on foggy nights to torment travellers. As a more benevolent form they may be guardians of the land who are born in response to raods. Here they wander this boundary between civilised & wild worlds protecting lost travellers while punishing bandits. Just some ideas :)
I would love to see your ideas on a lady luck goddess! I also love the fact you used sphinx cats as inspiration, both the burglar and the artisan look like awesome creatures
Been waiting for this. Another great a d unexpected video! Well done. Also, I would be interested in seeing a spirit which responds to pollution, waste and toxicity. I imagoblgoblin-like creatures which literally spawn from pools of waste and heaps of trash, causing as much nuisance to the locals as their trash does to the area. Additionallygoa special variant of the goblins may actually eat the waste and trash (which has pros and cons). I like how you tie each spirit with an animal(s), seeing as they reflect nature. Perhaps goblins are pig themed. Anyway, I look forward to the next video!
Not a spirit I thought you would adapt, but still this just looks amazing like always. I am curious, though. Will you be adapting other legends like Leprechauns, Elves, succubi or maybe some Native American legends as well?
This video would have been an interesting resource to have before I made the Bone Faerie a mid-level boss in my D&D campaign, though I ended up basing her design on a bearded vulture, which is known for almost exclusively earing bones.
One of the things that I notice about this design that is far from humble. Color. Loud, vibrant, bright colors in a medieval world when it comes to clothing are actually a symbol of wealth, not humility. in society, bright colors are good for putting some children at ease, but are more expensive to produce. Otherwise, I do like the designs and the lore associated with them..
Hi woolydroid. Your rendering style is a big inspiration for the stuff I do. I do want to ask how long you spend each piece, as I often find myself either rushing or going super slow when I make finished pieces.
It depends on approach. Sometimes I directly draw from my monotone thumbnails which can take a short while, other times I use coloured thumbnails which is a lot faster. The Tooth fairy artisan took three-four hours from sketch to finished render.
how about a homunculus? a "false human" or something similar, a creature that would manifest based on a persons unfulfilled desires once they pass like a dead servant who served expensive and lavish food to a royal but never got to taste it?
this question is mainly to explain my thought process to my idea but there's something ive been wondering about these spirits. since they appear sometimes with clothes, clear goals, and tools needed to complete whatever goal they have. is the magic system that spawns them a almost divine artificial gaia system created by some god/gods or is it some kind of god itself. or are spirits a manifestation created and designed from the sea of conciseness by some rule of the world. in simple terms is the magic system that manifest sprits a law of this universe much like gravity, energy and force etc. or is the magic system a divine law created or formed by gods or is a kind of god itself. or the magic system could be a law and a divine law at the same time. if spirits are intelligently manifested by some god/gaia system etc, are spirits created from set "blueprints" or are spirits designed and manifested on the spot. if a natural law are spirits manifested into exitance taking inspiration from a possible sea of conciseness of all thinking creatures or are simply manifested with no inspiration but by the law of the universe much like gravity what goes up must come down. either way my brain thought of neat idea that could work with both concepts. if spirit manifest do to unique changes, problems, etc then would it be possible for people to artificially do rituals or magic that purposely manifest spirits. the result could vary depending on the ritual or actions. people could manifest werewolves thru less extreme methods. instead of burning down a forest they could do minor destructions to nature that basically trick the world into manifesting a spirit. or a ritual or action could manifest an entirely unique and VERY specific spirit that would never normally manifest, example brownies manifest to find lost items, and werewolves help balance nature. but the very unique spirt manifested specific for that ritual and ONLY that ritual(basically would never happen naturally in society or in nature) could have truly bizarre goals tailored specifically for the persons unique needs. of course i imagine people experimented by doing truly strange things that resulted in truly strange spirits never to be manifested again. but basically the result is people in your lore have a unique conjuring system that abuses the magic system. u may have already thought of something similar or simply dismissed such an idea do to context i don't have but i figured id share this idea.
Out of curiosity what actually are the first causes? We’ve heard about the mad god a couple of times now, but it’s seems like he’s part of a wider pantheon of deific beings that have a vested interest in the world
when i was little, my parents invented the "passy fairy" who came and took away all my pacifiers when i got too old for them. needless to say i was not a fan of the passy fairy

@@flounderingfish2480 oh my word I love it😂 absolutely fantastic. Glad that the whimsy of the setting is coming through 😊
Man these always make my day when they come out. Would definitely let this fella sneak into my house and steal my mouth bones👍
Also, an idea for the next sprit could be a wendigo, who manifests to find food for starving people 🤷♀️
Fun fact teeth are not bones they are deposits of minerals and are not alive and do not heal like bones.
@MSheen-nz6td I feel like it would be more fitting as a response to cannibalism.
Yeah but I feel like cannibalism is super rare whereas hunger is more common and could allow for more showings of the spirit. Still good idea though
@@MSheen-nz6td quite like the idea, a postive creature perhaps 😊

loving the videos, your depiction of the tooth fairy is so cool. After the mentions of the lyndwyrm i cant wait to see it drawn too.
I love this so much! I have a few suggestions for creatures to include.
Sirens, but leaning more to their actual myth-accurate bird lady depiction.
Familiars, how would those work? Would there be a baseline for all familiars, or are they all very different from each other, some being tiny and others larger?
Mermaids, I imagine that all sorts of funky stuff could be done with that. Literal sea-monkeys, anyone?
Oh, and the Kraken! What if that wasn't a giant squid, but maybe an amalgamation of various giant sea creatures from myth, such as Leviathan, Jormangandr and the Loch Ness Monster?
I live in the UK, so I love the celtic creatures being added, but I have more of those too!
Kelpies, the horses that drag people into bodies of water and drowns then. Could be turned into some kind of lake guardian type, keeping humans away to stop their pollution.
The Dullahan, known better as the Headless Horseman, also originally a celtic grim reaper type. Maybe a spirit there to guide the souls of those just passed to wherever they go, for those souls have no idea where to got, which could also explain why some souls might linger as ghost of various kinds, they simply haven't been found by a Dullahan yet.
One of my favourites is the banshee, those girlies get such a bad wrap, the very definition of shooting the messenger. They come to warn people of the impending loss of a loved one, something they are clearly distressed by too, and this is the thanks they get?
And maybe a more popular and goofy one too, as a treat, like the Leprechaun

The music is custom made for the videos, composed by a mate of mine. I hope to put all the songs together for folks to use😊
God I would have loved to befriend a Tooth Fairy well enough for them to take the form of a cat so it could stick around
