I wanted to draw something fun for the holidays, but I'm still stuck with this year's redraw + working on worldbuilding a lot lately + had some new ideas that required my attention + I'm forcing myself to get some rest too. But this year's redraw is almost done (at least I hope so), probably share it during this week :D
Putting this aside, I'm still proud how this version of Lash turned out. I really enjoyed the rendering process, finally got some ideas how to implement her in a storyline and I also converted her into the 5e system, making her a Circle of Witherbloom druid because of her arm.
Speaking of which, the full storyline isn't clear yet though, I only know that she touched a cursed item somewhere at some point, and that deadly curse spread rapidly from her fingers, blackening her hand, later on her entire arm, stealing her lifeforce in the meantime. She was able to travel back home just in time, where her mother, a powerful druid, helped her immediately, though her arm was in such an extremely bad shape, that it had to be removed. They couldn't lift this nasty curse fully either, so her mother replaced the arm with the branches of a magical tree, that now slows down the effects, giving Lash another century or so to live. Thanks to these, now she is able to wield necromantic powers, though every time she does so, it'll take away months, or even years from her lifespan, blackening her new arm just a bit more.
