I really needed a VISUAL for all the bits of lore so I did it myself 💃I hope to have enough motivation and time to work on more of this because . . I need it and i love it
I know they’re only headshots, but that’s all the motivation I had for drawing 7 elders lol. Since it is my first time drawing them, if I draw them later, my design for them might change. I like having detailed art and characters, and well, they aren’t that detailed in the game. At least in my opinion. My favorite elder(s) has to be the twins. They are the youngest and seem to be the most active, so I think it would be pretty fun to hang out with them.
they make me feel things </3 their realm is so barren and if they could sacrifice themself to heal it they would in a heartbeat... but they can't...
HUGE THANK YOU to @vols-nonsense for skillfully editing my frames together with an audio clip from AURORA'S song The Seed (linked below the cut because it's a great song)
So I have a hc that for sky’s magic system, one of the side effects from constant use would affect your hands and veins. Normal light magic like Daleth/Isles would be white, and color/elemental magic would have its own quirks.
Water would make your hands prune and shrivel.
Earth would have plants grow on them.
Fire would burn them (hurts a lot, it’s one of the reasons I see Tsadis use for the gauntlets).
Wind just pretty dry and cracked hands.
Purple I had a lot of fun with! Purple light is shown to make things out of thin air and change the space around them, so I like to this the tips of Lamed fingers would glitch out a lil.
Now usually for ancestors these side affects would be faint and less severe.
But since elders to me have so much light, they can really push the limits of their powers, so the diagram above would just be the most extreme cases.
—Some have already proven that they believe our actions to be unwise. Their conviction may only grow stronger with time.
—So we prove them otherwise.
No joke I think about this fic by @cmyksky just about every day, and today I felt compelled to draw this exchange. Among countless other things, I love the subtle implications that they know and work with each other well, coupled with the rising tension. A portent of darker times to come indeed.
I can't stop drawing them and I have so much to say about them 💔 also how much it ties into the series I am working on and all the lore . . . o<= the second picture is a bonus, it would've been angsty as usual but I thought, let's be merciful and give them so happiness first 💔☹️
