alex from the siltcord suggested supposed relics of the promised bride being passed around the parish and i kinda latched onto the idea !! couple notes + timelapse below the cut :]
this is HEAVILY inspired by the skull of mary magdalene, which is mounted in a statue
the dress is inspired by celtic dress
the patterns on the armbands are the same as the patterns on roemont's robes, since they're a basic traditional pattern in the parish
her cape clasp has a tessalated fishhook pattern
one of her eyes is growing out on a stalk :]
the way her body is portrayed as changing is very much the same as how i draw stanton's body changing
i really like the timelapse because you get to watch my thought process in her transformation and it kinda looks like she's transforming in real time :D
Y’all ever think about those first 16 days on the road, wading through mud and river sludge looking for proof that god is still on?
saint esther, first saint of the many below wound tree
once again, thank you so much to @spectralanomally for advising me on her wounds !!

"There was never a town here. That’s what the Last Word tells me, and who are you to deny it?"
I've only had her for two days but I love her already
not 100% sure how I see her yet but this feels right for now

there’s them that lead and them that chase
not allowed to say Harry Potter, but what was your book series obsession as a teen
mine was definitely Eragon
patron saint of lost causes
referencing accidental renaissance ted cruz
just started listening to the silt verses and i like carpenter a normal amount
siltcord was talking about a rane + faulkner anglerfish saint, so i did what i had to do !! are anglerfish riverine? no, but neither is kelp. all waters are one baby
original convo is below, plus some design notes
speedpaint will be linked here
great contributions from @thermodynamic-comedian @lights-at-night-art and @unbloodiedmartyr that all contributed to my design :]
rane is growing into faulkner. faulkner is not growing into rane
rane has lost their face, faulkner's is only a mouth. rane has no identity in faulkner and his only identity is the words he speaks
faulkner is the one holding the lure, but rane is the one holding up his arm. it isn't clear how much say he has in their pose
faulkner's hand is growing into the lure because he can't let go/escape his position
the gossamer fins are intended to emulate angel's wings, the lure a halo
there are no prayer marks on them because i do not want to design parish prayer marks on the fly like this. imagine they were on their faces, chests, and stomachs if you must
theyre nude because ive seen a lot of greco-roman statuary lately and the pose was too nice to cover with robes. genuinely please dont be weird about it T_T
im so glad social media wasn't real in the silt verses so shrue was at least spared the indignity of being forced to do tiktok dances to promote tranquili-tea
