Whether you are passionate about creating background characters or formidable monsters, I am eager to see your creations.
[h3]NPC Character Inspiration[/h3]
[list]
[*] Butler: The discreet backbone of many aristocratic households. This character should embody professionalism and meticulous care, dressed in a crisp, buttoned-up uniform. His expression might be one of perpetual readiness and unwavering loyalty, with a posture that speaks of decades serving his employers. Attention to detail, like a perfectly tied tie, polished shoes, and a neat hairdo, would be crucial for this character.
[*] Museum Director: An intellectual beacon with a keen eye for the rare and extraordinary. This character might wear classic 1920s attire, like a tailored suit, exuding authority and knowledge. Their model should reflect a person who spends days curating precious artifacts and educating the public, perhaps with glasses and an ever-present catalog or clipboard in hand.
[*] Black Market Merchant: A clever and somewhat secretive trader of forbidden wares. This character could have a more rugged, elusive look, perhaps with a heavy coat to conceal their goods and a wide-brimmed hat to shadow their face. Details like hidden pockets, assorted trinkets, and a wary gaze would make this model come alive, hinting at a life of constant vigilance and secret deals.
[*] Aristocrat Gentleman: The epitome of upper-crust society in the early 20th century. This character would be the picture of elegance and wealth, dressed in a fine suit or a tuxedo, complete with a monocle or a walking cane. His posture and demeanor should exude confidence and privilege, perhaps with a slight air of disdain or aloofness that marks his high social standing.

[h3]Mythological Monster Inspiration[/h3]
[list]
[*] Leshy: The elusive forest spirit from Slavic folklore. This character could be towering and imposing, cloaked in leaves and moss, with eyes that glow with the wisdom of the woods. The Leshy is the guardian of the forest, often portrayed with a beard made from living greenery and limbs that twist like gnarled tree branches. Imagine this spirit blending seamlessly into the forest background, appearing almost camouflaged until noticed by an unsuspecting passerby.
[*] Huldra: This beguiling creature from Scandinavian lore is known for her stunning beauty that belies her true nature. With the torso of a beautiful woman and the hidden tail of a cow or fox, the Huldra is both enchanting and horrific. She could be depicted luring unwary travelers with her charm, set against the backdrop of misty Scandinavian forests. Her model would feature intricate details that reflect her dual nature, blending human allure with the wild elements of her forest home.
