The Art of Zeta Gardner

So I found Zeta Gardner, "aka Nale Bunny" serendipitously on DeviantArt while searching for satyrs and I thought "I'd like Scarterra's satyrs to look like this!"   I really liked her drawings, so I checked out her DeviantArt page and saw that I liked her general style, and I saw she we was accepting commissions, so I asked if she would satyrs for me with a slant towards Scarterran elemental ethnicity.   Granted I did not invent satyrs, but Scarterran satyrs are fairly different from "traditional" satyrs, so I wanted to showcase them more. Admittedly, Scarterran dwarves and elves are not that different from "standard fantasy" dwarves and elves.   She really helped spruced up my satyrs article and it grew in likes and views faster than any article I have made before. All Zeta's satyr illustrations are in the main satyr article, but that is not the only place I use the satyr illustrations.     Zeta exceeded my expectations with her satyr drawings, so I asked her help me bring tengku to life.   Tengku are technically an original creation of mine but I didn't make them up out of thin air. They are a combination of traditional tengu stories in Japanese yokai, D&D kenku, Star Trek ferengi, and Native American legends of Raven the Trickster. And I've been seeing how Scarterran tengku evolve as I'm fleshing it out with more tengku PCs and NPCs.   All of Zeta's tengku illustrations are in my main tengku article. The pictures pop up in many other articles.   I was pleased enough with Zeta's work to ask her to make the most important for Scarterra yet, portraits for all of the Nine. Again she exceeded my expecations not only making nine great individual portaits but putting them together in a zodiac wheel which I opted to use as the main logo for my website. She even tossed in a meme version of Greymoria free of charge.

  In my case I took it personally with gratitude.   Zeta helped me bring Scarterran gnomes to life, visually.

  The current thing Zeta is working on my behalf is Scarterran dwarves. Here is the first dwarf of a planned set of eight.
