Designs for a project I'm working on!
Eighth Wonders of the World is a show concept featuring Gef the talking mongoose and his fellow cryptids as they aim to become famous while being pursued by agents. Each ep features a different cryptid as they all get into shenanigans.

![Nuciel & Bou [both he/him]
"An odd pair of avian fae - traveling musicians with magical instruments, and a romantic couple on the side. They first meet Rivière while in human guise, and, sensing their potential, later act as warm if capricious guiding wings.
Nuciel is energetic, theatrical, and knows almost everyone in the Faelands - especially Luna, much to her annoyance. Reliable and quiet Bou seems more content to go with the flow."
The characters are a duo of very bird-like fae, with humanoid bodies but beaked avian heads, with talon-like hands, wings along their backs, hair, and long ears tufted with feathers. Both are musicians, holding instruments. Nuciel, on the right, is gangly and extravagant-yet-roguish in appearance, wearing striped pants and a big pink feather-adorned fedora. He holds a large, pink, bedazzled guitar. His feathers are white, his face and hands yellow.
Bou is significantly larger and heftier, resembling a bearded vulture. Shaggy hair and a floppy cap cover his eyes. He also wears a large red striped scarf, a green jacket and baggy trousers - the latter two have some patches. He holds a yellow-and-brown accordion.
There are small drawings to the side of each interacting with another character in the story. In one, Nuciel has a cheeky, intentionally condescending smile as he prods the cheek of Luna, in her wisp form, who is absolutely seething at him. In another, Bou lies down in the grass, while Riviére sits behind him and happily uses their magical paintbrush (shrunken down) to paint a flower crown onto his head.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5yfvltmeowztvshya5e7w5jo/bafkreieo5y5caoxb2nfbn3l3dnch2zco2pvzssd3wlr7etzgdvpe7bwkf4)
