Goblin Kin Proposal (2011)

Description

Original Description: I’ve thought of Hobgoblins as creature with a size in-between a goblin and an orc, mainly based on RPGs I played. But according to folklore they were small housekeeping trickster. With my flame-repellent dragon scale armor and matching shield equipped, this interpretation apparently started with a mistake made by Tolkien who later renamed them Uruks or Uruk-Hai, but the old concept stuck and spread into various fiction in general.

So, with that in mind I’ve been pondering. The result is a farm girl and line of suitors where I choose to call the goblin/human half-breeds for Gobs. That’s the goblins’ name for them anyway. They’re half goblins so they only have half their name, hence “Gob”. That’s goblin logic for you. :)

NOTES: Toyed around with names and designs based on the concept that a hobgoblin was more of the hobgoblins described in folklore rather than the fantasy version. Nowadays, I prefer the fantasy hobgoblin as is. Besides, that "hobgoblin" in this image looks more like my version of kobolds, sort of. Kobold Head Ball (2010)

Out of all of these Goblinoids, I feel like the OG Goblin has the highest chance to get with the (farmer?) girl. He's got a ring first of all, a legit one, he's also got all of his clothes, shows that he's modest.


I know the Human Gob looks "prettier" with some nice facial hair and a toned body, however that Human Gob reeks of arrogance, while the Chad Goblin radiates confidence.


All of these goblinoids all have various things to "propose", we got a rat, a stick, and some flowers, these goblinoids just took these willy-nilly, doing the lowest amount of work for this farm girl. But as I said before the OG Goblin worked his ass off for that ring, he may not be the prettiest, hell, he might not be the nicest, but what this guy is that he's dedicated and willing.


In conclusion, the OG Goblin is a chad, while the others are posers. I hope you enjoyed my late night rant on chad goblins.
