I am an artist by day and an artist by night, but that doesn’t stop my mind from creating different stories. These are characters from stories that I don’t have completely fleshed out, or from a burning desire to create a character of a certain theme.
Dhot - Different Spots
Dhot is a snow leopard whose spots are generally normal but are shaped like eyes along their back and tail. This can be used to create a bunch of different narratives around them.
For example, the left version portrays them as a cult leader-type figure, and their followers could believe that they can see the future with their tail; eyes that can see different possibilities of the future.
The right version is a more down-to-earth and friendly version of Dhot. The owner of a coffee shop, Dhot, is known for creating drinks that aren’t thought to be possible. Enlightenment, Nostalgia, Productivity, taste the flavor of emotion at Dhot’s Cafe! Their eye spots now represent that Dhot doesn’t sleep to create these amazing drinks. The two versions of dart aren’t meant to coexist; they are two interpretations of a detail that makes them unique from a regular snow leopard. Whether it’s practical for seeing the future or metaphorical for lack of sleep and energy, Dhot can create an interesting narrative wherever they go!
Dhot is a very skilled barista, but that doesn’t mean they doesn't have his fair share of issues. For example, Dhot created a new blend they dubbed “Non-Stop”. That blend gave people an increased boost of energy. But the drink was too effective, and people reported losing themselves in tasks until it wore off.
Something similar also happened when Dhot made their Nostalgia Blend. They were able to perfectly create the sense of nostalgia (this time testing it on themself first) and gave it to customers to try. But instead of everyone drinking in their own nostalgia and memories, they received Dhot’s nostalgia and memories.
“I don’t know how my drinks keep backfiring like this. Maybe I should start serving plain water.” - Dhot
