Introducing Lute as TasFaire's official mascot! 📯 Lute is an amorphous shadow-being currently inhabiting a suit of armour. We're excited to show off our loveable shadow blob. Designed by MakaPakaBakaSlappa with additional art by @marblellous.bsky.social

A short comic telling the origins of Lute. Elf!Poppy mixes some ingredients into a bubbling green cauldron, while Boris watches. Suddenly, Boris sneezes into the mixture which bubbles over and explodes. Leaving the very pathetic and whimpish blob of Lute in its scorched remnants.

Lute’s (TasFaire mascot) reference sheet. He/they
Features a front and back view with height in comparison to Poppy. They are dressed in a suit of armour with a purple tabard and large green wizard’s hat.
Image reads:
Round shape language
Face always obscured by shadow.
A wizard, magician, adventurer. Calm and wise yet maintains a sense of whimsy and playfulness.
