Im unsure if this can be called "a study" since i changed a few things and was not taking any notes anywhere, but one of my goals while drawing this piece, was to try to understand how the colors are used in the official Rain world art and how those pieces are usually rendered. Did i succeed? Only time will tell

Okay, I'm joining your trend, guys, it's too cool)
Lactarius Deliciosus or Saffron Milkcup - my most favourite mushroom🧡
Beautiful, tasty, crunchy - this is what lizards think about when they see Saffron. No one knows exactly what kind of slugcat he is, but for some reason he attracts more predators than any other ones. Bad for him on one hand, but good for everyone else on the other. That’s why he is always ready to take the hit and lead the danger as far away from colony as possible. Even if it means he might need to be saved afterwards😅
He didn’t have any sort of special abilities or poisons like many other slugshrooms. So he can only rely on his strength and agility. And after years of training, he really became a good guard, although his work still sometimes leaves scars on his body
Saffron also loves to cook and even has his own secret recipes. With secret ingredient… Very special ingredient…
Yeah, he uses his milk sweat for cooking. It gives dishes a richer, sweet and spicy flavor and, as he believes, makes the dishes much tastier. But, for some reason, other slugcats didn't really appreciate his idea, and now he is not allowed to cook for everyone
However, Saffron continues to cook for himself and create new recipes. In a portable pot made from a snail shell, he always carries some of his signature soup, which he is ready to share with tired and lost travelers)))
I really tried to make him as cool as possible
I love how their colors match
Guys just confused with this slug's gift
