Empress Emily Kaldwin from Dishonored, in an art noveau inspired style! I was so excited for the opportunity to do an art trade with @wickedsnack, happily painting the hands of their Baldur's Gate OT3 in exchange for one of their LOVELY style.

Seeing this piece come together was everything I could have wanted. The way the mark of the Outsider cuts into the almost stained-glass background is just CHEF KISS.

*deep breath* so if you look closely at the lore of the rune of Destined Death and the history of the Godskin apostasy and the black flame, it seems pretty apparent that Melina is what remains of an Empyrean of a long past age, most likely the Gloam-Eyed Queen herself, who held the tune of Death before Marika took it and gave it to Maliketh to seal away.

Or maybe not.

The butterfly set is now complete! Had to draw Melina twice bc it didn’t work out the first time lol.

The greater will is not evil or good. It's the supreme deity of the world but it seems obvious to me that it's a non-interventionist deity, if it even exists. Marika's Golden Order claims it follows the GW in the same way oppressive regimes claim to be representative of God's will.

The GO is not only oppressive, but divine family disputes wreak havoc on the world and its creatures. Ranni's order of stars is a solution to this by placing divinity(herself and the Elden Ring) into space away from mortals. It's made clear that Ranni's problem is with the Two Fingers who have their own agenda and not the Greater Will since it has "abandoned" the world. If the Greater Will was interventionist and Marika shattered the Elden Ring to oppose it, it would've stopped her from doing so the same way it supposedly collapsed the Nox civilization. Speaking of, I think it's highly likely that the GW didn't actually do anything to the Nox and it's more akin to the Tower of Babel myth. The Nox Society collapsed, probably because of Astel, and the Two Fingers claimed it was because they angered the GW to prevent people from questioning them. Throughout the game it's made clear that the Two Fingers are manipulators and cannot be trusted, supposedly speaking for the GW when we are told in the intro that it has abandoned TLB. Empyreans' Shadows are created directly by the Two Fingers to keep them in check. The Two Fingers are basically the heads of the church while Marika is the head of the Eastern Roman Empire.
