Mal Design exploration sketches (pt2)
🕑 Added 2024-10-28 18:18:26 +0000 UTCSome more of that character page for Mal I'm workin' on, as well as the initial rough sketch concept I showed here before! :)
I initially was gonna go for the "titties out" version for a more harpy look, but I ultimately decided to go more animal and barrel-chested, completely covered in her feathers for this form. It's largely because I couldn't bring myself to be rid of the idea that Spirits had "inbetween" forms, one that would help branch the concept that Spiritov (a.k.a "witches") were originally born from the union of a Spirit and a mortal before becoming their own separate race.
THIS form is basically a Spirit's fully realized deity form; something that isn't quite animal, but not quite mortal either. Mal in this shape is about the size of a moderately-sized house, and she's relatively large even for her own kind. I'm considering the idea that their overall size (in this shape specifically) reflects their base magic power and age, so the larger the Spirit, the stronger and older it is. I'm not too sure if it's a keeper of an idea yet though, but it's a thought!
But ye! More to come soon! :)
