FATE is one of my lesser-known original characters, but he is nearly as important and complex as Brask Vovik. Much like Brask's original design became Bravo while Brask got a new design by Redemption3445, Fate's original design (>>10104) became Dirac (>>22088) while Fate got a new design by Redemption3445 (>>12839).
However, there was more I wanted to do with Fate, including the addition of his bird suit. I'll get into the lore reasons more in the future, but for now I'll say Fate is more fond of a certain bird species than his own people, the alpeh goblins. Runde (>>20373) and I (>>20471) each did a take on the bird suit design in 2021.
Last year I commissioned tderek99 for a design update; specifically a reference sheet that unites the bird and goblin physicalities. He delivered an superbly crafted design that blends all of my desired elements into a multi-layered character:
1. Nude aleph goblin, Fate's true form, now with newly enlarged ears, which is a great improvement to his silhouette.
2. Nude aleph goblin with accessories, as Red gave him originally.
3. Bird suit "nude" version with jockstrap/underwear. It's intended to be camo for his true form, though he doesn't have any bird genitals, only green bits that need to be covered.
4. Bird suit with clothes. Further concealing his true form and adding dignity to his design, his bird suit has its own wardrobe. This is mostly based on Runde's design, though it includes the ears in a similar fashion to my design.
So there you have it! You'll be seeing a lot more Fate before long. =}
