A feral soul concept based on if you could use Feo Ul as a source.

I had a lot of fun working on this and picking elements from different places. If people are interested I can talk about that more maybe.

I had a lot of fun looking at how the pixies, titania etc are designed to make this and also incorporating a lot of bright colours, unlike most of my usual pieces. Her main theme is usually blue but I wanted bright greens to represent the pixies and bright oranges to represent feo ul.

I also wanted to incorporate the Pilgrim's Traverse accessories. For this concept I think they'd be fused on the WoL's body. I kind of forgot about it but the ring and bracelet should also be there lol. Maybe I'll go back and fix it (but probably not).

I'd like to make some sketches of how she'd fight when I have time.

I haven't done a design challenge in a long while, it was a lot of fun. What sort of soul would your WOL use? lmk!

If you'd like to commission a feral soul design for your WoL, my commissions will be open until March! All links are in my pinned post!

Though Il Mheg is often said to be analogous to Coerthas geographically, I've always found it much more evocative of the Idyllshire and the Dravanian Hinterlands. While you could certainly see something of Ishgard in the old Veobertite castle that is now Lyhe Ghiah, its winding walkways make me think of the old roads in the Hinterlands leading to the gates of Idyllshire. There are certain parallels in their histories as well; both Il Mheg and Idyllshire have been abandoned by the peoples who originally built them, and reclaimed by a new people who gave the settlement a new life and a new, more whimsical name. Both are home to abandoned collections of tomes just waiting to be rediscovered by an ambitious scholar or adventurer--that is, if they can satisfy the whims of the land's present guardians (the pixies, or an old witch who lives in a cave). Also there's magical frogs.

For Urianger, who grew up in the Sharlayan colony until the exodus, maybe Il Mheg felt a lot like home.
