Temple of Ripened Fruit - Bergin Reference WIP

Added 2022-04-12 15:59:55 +0000 UTC

Hey Patrons!

After finishing up with the background, we started to move on to our three Temple Priests. As we mentioned before, we had a few ideas brewing in the background for who these three people would be, and we've drawn two of them a few times, but we wanted to spend some real time fleshing them out and putting them down on paper for the sake of consistency.

Bergin is the first of the three, and the only one we haven't featured until now. He is a Paraceratherium, which is an ancient and extinct genus of Rhinoceros. We decided on this particular ancient species so that we can keep the theme of the three Priests consistent (which gives you a very small clue as to who the other two are).

You've probably also noticed that Bergin is a trans man (He/Him pronouns). We decided that all three Priests should be transgender as A) we understand the struggle and beauty of being transgender, ourselves; and, B) it's in keeping with the theme of the Temple of Ripened Fruit, which is all about finding comfort, community, and affirmation in sex, transformation, and becoming more like yourself in the moment.

Bergin is also into BDSM, and he uses his knowledge of the artform and kinkform on those who seek his counsel, in particular (with their permission, of course). If it's about using restraint or being open to surrender control, then Bergin is your guide and he will help you find yourself through these means.

Anyway, this is just a rough first sketch. As always, his final form and all the associated details will emerge as time goes on and we explore the character through creating this reference sheet. We hope you enjoy how he turns out! :)
