Description omfs, i just spend about half an hour writing an awesome description and somehow click a link out of this page. :tear: gads, that sucked SO BAD. oh well, here i go again:

the goodies are peripatatic nomads, a race with no land to their name who simply live in the wilderness and move around the continent with their herds of googlimunto (the pigdog in the picture) and magooglihoo (a sort of hoofed anteater-looking creature), both of which are the tastiest meat affordable. most all of them are shepherds, but mostly they go from town to town, kingdom to kingdom as traders. depending on the tribe, it is usually quite an event when they stroll into town, with many celebrations, and a set-up market where you can buy exotic things from all over. jewlery, clothing, carpets, food, spices, just about anything one could think of, and even more. some tribes have been known to come up with an ancient treasure of unmentionable value seemingly out of nowhere.

that said, the goodies are generally a well-liked race, accepted welcomly even by the most cruel and greedy countries. the tribes themseles are incredibly diverse, ranging from the most famous tribes, bringing notoriously gorgeous items from hidden corners of the continent and making a great festival of their arrival in big kingdoms, celebrating for days on end, to some more dark tribes, whose arrival is noted only on a whisper and are gone within hours. 'noomi tribes' are the most common, and are the ones who sells items such as food and clothing. 'roomi tribes' are special, and spend most of their time only finding the most expensive and important treasures. regarded as treasure hunters by many, they are sought out by only the stupidly rich and the archeologically inspired. 'doomi tribes' are specialized in sneaking around and getting paid for spying, eavesdropping, and other general misdeeds that one might be too cowardly or heavy to do by themselves. these kinds are also known to work for leaders of greedy kingdoms by offering rumors and secrets of enemy kingdoms. 'soomi tribes' are philosophers and thinkers who go from town to town collecting knowledge. they are known to spend months in a town, making maps, studying the plantlife and economy, and having deep philosphical conversations with the citizens, selling their knowledge and help, as well as scrolls and literature they've written. although, it is hard to take them very seriously, as they tend to say, 'goo...' while in deep thought (much like, 'hmm...'. then there's the 'foomi tribes' who function more like a traveling circus than nomads. they are entertainers, and usually put on shows of all kinds for the people. there are many other tribes, but these are the most common.

no one knows where the goodies came from, or why they don't settle down, but when asked, a goody will simply say that it is not in their nature to stay put. this has been proven many times when a goody is injured and must stay in a hospital as his tribe leaves. even with 2 broken legs, a concious goody will crawl back to his tribe if not properly restrained. goodies have actually no innate reason to stay with their tribe. either they have family in the tribe, are proud to be in their tribe, could not survive without the tribe, or simply have nothing better to do. all that they know is that it's in their nature to travel, and are known to keep walking on right into death, which afterwards the tribe will burn their corpse and let the ashes go in the winds, so that they may keep traveling forever in the company of their god, suegoo, who is said to be the wind. somepeople, in no betetr explination of the goodies origins, have decalred that they were, in fact, sent by the gods to connect the continent and promote it's bounty, as the goodies are surely doing. while some people put stock in this myth, other view them simply as dirty animals and won't make eye contact with them at all.

amoung many traits born into all goodies is wanderlust, colorblind-ness, and an intense fear of water. no goody has ever shown any intrest in ever crossing the ocean, adn it is even said they won't take a bath unless the water is dropped onto them, in contrary to having to sit in it.

Dude, you need to be a childrens author or something. Your style mixed with your insane imagination is just pure win.

I love the drawing, and i love it even more after I read the description. I love your ability to make up words, it reminds me a bit of J.K Rowling and Rohl Dahl.

Are you aware of how unique your brain is!? You can go far in life my friend!

PEEEEEERFECT!!! And it's so cute! 8D (The little boots are especially adorable ) You're right about them sounding a bit like moogles, but I'm sure we could work that out and have ourselves an awesome little race! I also like the idea that they don't want to go over to the other continent because of the water. It's details like that that give a story styyyyyyyyle. B) <
Have I mentioned you're an amazing artist? Cuz you are.

yeah, when i was drawing/writing them, i was think, 'o noes, these b like moogles' but i think we can mess witht hat, like you said. i'm glad you like them! i thought they'd be very good at plotpoints, since they could really be selling just about anything, or know just about anyone. and they say 'goo' >_>
thank you wifey

Damn straight 83
(well it tends to happen to me that once I fave something for later references, I may forget the deviation altogether and I never read the description so this time I took myself by the lapels and ...errr. yeah).

So ... did it take long to flesh out those concepts? 83 Sometimes I get ideas in a flash and begin brainstorming for so long until I had a loads of stuff written down.

And I love the appearance of the creature, too 83 Rodenty and ... herbivory. In a folklory kind of way. 8D
