When fruit, flowers and vegetables bloom over night like a spell has been casted over them, it is probably due to this little fella. Mostly appearing around spring and autumn, she is a very shy being that only steps into the light when it cannot be seen by human eyes. Then it tends to a garden with the uttermost care, bringing every single piece of flora to its full potential. Very few people claim to have seen this little creature roaming around in their garden and to celebrate her welldoings, they made little red-hatted figurines and placed them in their garden to increase the harvest.
So whenever you see a lot of beautiful gardens, this fellow probably was near.


The Wizard´s Hat finally came back into the game! And since Asuras are just adorbale with that hat, I knew I had to create a look around it. Since a lot of people do the wizard look on light armour, I tried around with Medium armour instead and came up with the idea of a little garden gnome!
The dark red was also a nice breakup for the otherwise earthy and natural dye scheme. With both weapons and armour I tried to keep a natural vibe; the pants for example are to resemble tree bark or roots. I just thought that it felt really Ranger-ish! Kudzu (or at least Leaf of Kudzu) or Galant Longbow would have been the perfect choice for a longbow skin, but since I don´t own these skins I settled for a simple bow instead and concentrated more on other fitting skins.
I really hope you enjoy my little garden gnome!

aww, thank you! ^^ Yes, that is one very photogenic bee :D I was considering that as my main screen, but you can just not see that much of her armour, so I took another one instead

Awwww! Wurzelzwerg x33 It's just soooo cute I can't handle it. The hat is just perfect and so is the armour of your Asura.
I love the natural dyes they are really fitting and those screens are so beautiful and the cutest to ever cute! It's really an awesome theme, very creative and rare (mostly others are using this hat for wizard/ witch- like looks) and there is nothing I could complain about.
Take all my Gold!!

I think the screenshots could be weeded out a little to remove similar looking ones but I love this character!
