"These only grow beneath slumbering dragons! Their raw magical aura imbues the flowers with a high mana potency. It's great for potions!"

Hearing of this mysterious Traveling Apothecary who wanted decor for his cave... Carmine knew exactly what she had to do.

She had rare flora from all over the realm and was more than happy to share it with Ronin, on one condition. He had to listen to her spout off all of the knowledge she held for each specimen--they were there for quite some time. But I'd like to think that since Ronin is rarely able to leave his workshop, he enjoys listening to all of the harrowing (and not so) adventures behind the flowers.

Wanted to try a dif perspective for the faces because I always seem to be doing the same 3/4 turn over and over TwT Ronin's design was challenging, but in a fun way! I got to experiment with facial shapes and eyes (which I really struggle with, I feel like all of my eyes are drawn the same), so I spent a very long time on his face, especially the eyes. I do really like how it turned out but for future reference, I think I'm going to take extra care to make this specific eye shape have the correct perspective, because looking at it, I can definitely see the one on the (our) right is slightly wonked QwQ I did some background and foreground blurring to add some more depth?? idk how or if that worked but I did it?
