Eli.
Not sure why Tumblr decided to make the image so blurry ? :/
While those who are part of the Old Church of Aeteris are usually more closely associated with the Sun, Eli's first appearance in the short story The Companions of the Blue Forest is in the middle of the night. There's a silvery-white light, at the edges of a character's vision, at midnight in the middle of a swamp...
Here, let's translate the passage (this short story is in french) (also this passage for now literally only exists in the first draft; my second draft hasn't gotten here yet, i haven't worked on it in. so long).
"Alan was woken up by a repeated, regular sound, slowly approaching the camp. It sounded like a staff if it had been planted in the muddy soil of the swamp at the same speed one would walk. Through the fog, he could see a strange, silver glow around a silhouette that he couldn't yet quite parse.
[...]
When the silhouette was finally close enough, Alan stopped breathing for a second. Tall, with dark brown skin and incredibly long, cascading hair, she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Incredibly, she was dressed in a long, flowy, ancient clerical robe, of a pure white despite her walking barefoot in a swamp. She was the one emitting that silvery-white light, like a forgotten spirit walking the earth.
Alan was seriously starting to think he was just dreaming."
Idk, she just feels very moon to me.
#ask games#i have not drawn her in years. not sure i got her hair texture right haha#in fact i think it's the first time i attempt to draw a full body of her !#she's a secondary character but i love her so much.#i just don't draw the characters from this story very often lol#also there's a huge difference between the Old Church and the Guardians of Aeteris#notably because the Old Church is only named that bc of the Guardians. uh the Guardians are shitheads the Old Church is a dying religion#stuff is going on in Eshda.#literally 3 seconds later Alan gets clocked as a Guardian by Eli#she's not 100% right - he's actually an ex-Guardian he managed to Get the Fuck Out#but she doesn't know that. to her that is a Dangerous Man that you Cannot Trust under Any Circumstances#he's a traumatized 23 year old.#kldfkfjhfdlkhjfdkl#i promise their dynamic is fun they become friends#sketches#my art#also i realize that#i have a tendency to make beautiful people be tall ?#like she's not the only one to be described as tall and beautiful.#i think one of the few people who ISN't particularly beautiful while being tall is Darlok#from that same story#he's a normal dude#he's also Hella Tall and Hella Large#i think he's hot but not particularly beautiful. they're not the same thing you know ?#anyway. why am i analyzing my own tendencies.#also Eli has Secrets :)#foret bleue
