For this competition you may make a gardener with any common or uncommon traits & ONE rare trait (very rare traits excluded)

All the traits & their rarities are listed on the species reference above
The contest will be judged on the aesthetic/originality of the design not the quality of the art itself though obviously they will need to be colored & finished.
Gardeners are little people, they are sentient creatures and live in large groups. Because of this they have trade, bartering, tradespeople and artisans like we do.
They have dexterous claws which bend like fingers and a thumb, perfectly capable of sewing, crafting and making apparel. They also borrow from humans; taking items that suit them in
size and re-purposing them, buttons, bells and other small odds and ends are often stolen. Though they can also make these items in small version for themselves.
Gardners live in a hi-fantasy alternate earth and make their homes in any environment with trees, all of them have a little bit of magic they use to regenerate plants they feed from.
Some even have other limited magical powers!

Examples of existing gardeners

You must enter your design within a month from now. Heres the countdown Timer
 The artwork must be of your own making and the design not ripped from anywhere else
If You don't place in the contest and don't want to pay to keep your gardener you can keep using the design redrawn as a different species.
You may not sell your gardener character for money or points later. You are free to trade the design or gift it. Just let me know who it goes to

**Sketch prizes will be of one character eg: Shunka Warakin, Chibis will be drawn as ferals and simplified like: Wibble ghosty shaman wuff  They can be any character you own

If you don't agree with paid character adoptables, closed species or buying designs thats quite alright by me. No ones forcing you to participate, so please be respectful thankyou
