Some recent sketch ideas of Rí'an's parents (+ a 2024 sketch of Rí'an's face for comparison). They're all city elves~

In the top left is An'zen, Rí'an's dad and the one she takes after the most, physically (especially in their resting-bitch-faces lmao). In the top right is Rí'an's mom, Tui'las, whom Rí'an takes after the most in personality.

It's fun to "reverse engineer" an OC's face to figure out how the parents look (pardon the random/historically inaccurate hair/clothes, I was largely focusing on their faces)~

#stellastra's art #OC: Ri'an Mal'los #OC: An'zen #OC: Tui'las Mal'los #I like the idea of Ri'an's mother being a redhead #but Ri'an inherited most of her father's appearance #to quote Arcanum's manual: “Some rare specimens have brilliant flame-red tresses...”#“...or even coal-black; elves seem to find these two colors particularly appealing...”#so An'zen and Tui'las probably found each other to be super eye-catching when they first met idk #I remember someone irl once pointed out that I have a few biracial/mixed-race/multiethnic OCs #(i haven't shown much online but I have a few)#I'm biracial (half-asian/half-white) so maybe that's why #i don't make self-inserts but I do tend to inject tiny bits of my personal background into my OCs #either for immersion purposes or because I just wanted to
