A close up on a drawing of a satyr woman with tanned freckly skin and dark curly hair. She has green eyes with dark smudged make-up and dusty marks on her skin. She has two small horns and goat-like ears with golden hoops. She is holding an old dusty vase.
A digital illustration of a plump satyr woman holding an old cracked vase and gesturing with a brush. She is smiling as she talks and has dark curly hair and green eyes. Her skin is tanned and freckly . She has two short horns and goat-like ears with golden hoops. She wears a wrap around crop top and baggy cloth trousers. Her lower half is like a goat's. She has dust marks smudged on her clothes, face, and hands. On her hip she carries a whip and a scabard holding an old dagger.

I’ve been very honoured to design fuzziebeans on insta’s first ever d&d character, Ori. She is an archaelogist satyr bard who loves wine, cheese, and unearthing forgotten relics. It’s always so nice to work with Molli and her characters are always so fantastically fun to draw!

Welcome to Derinkuyu, an underground city that once housed up to 20,000 people. In the Cappadocia region, famous for its cave dwellings and underground villages, Derinkuyu stands out for sheer size and complexity. Locals began digging in the 500s BCE. The city consists of over 600 doors, each of which can be closed from the inside. Each floor could be closed off as well. And just to make attacking completely impossible, the entire city was deliberately built without any logic. Its maze-like layout makes navigating the city nightmarish for unfamiliar invaders.
