looks like Iβm kinda committed to pool and beach backgrounds lol.

Eye kinda gold-ish color yea? A bit confused why I see some screenshots of her right eye kinda gray-ish green

Her scars... they look so beautiful! π« Keep up the amazing work! (One thing I wanna ask tho, is her current eye color temporary?)

OH MY GODDESS THAT 4TH EXPRESSION ππ³π«

Thank you! Iβll consider giving her partial scars or just her hands/forearms. Would be fun π
Kevinrages
Ah thank you! Kinda want to hand some partial scars throughout her body. Iβll think upon it more

She is looking divine! I love the breast covering pose with her blade! Oh, and as Melina's self-proclaimed biggest fan, I think you could go either way with her scars. We only ever see scars on her hands, so those are a must. But considering we never see any other parts of her body aside from her face and hands, giving her scars elsewhere would work. I personally believe she has scars everywhere aside from her face, but just burns on her hands is enough (less work for you)

To answer your question, she uses her hands to set the Erdtree alight and considering she doesn't have scars on her face, I just assumed it was only her hands that were scarred. The game never really goes into detail about it.

That fourth sketch π

I hope she gets her burn scars on her hands ππ
