UrYa, the Spirit!
Commissioned and conceptualized by the creative Loqui-mar on Deviant Art, this "physical spectre" version of UrYa directly follows the canon established for this Mystic on the official comic "Creation Myths", where he is strangled by a maddened skekHak just after being split by the Crystal- causing the death of both him and his counterpart, skekYi.
This drawing is a direct companion to my previous post, "skekYi, the Ghost"
The visual inspirations for this character that were given to me were a grassy spiral glade, a hunched mossy troll, and a leafy goat-cow fantasy creature's face.
As described by the creator or this concept, this version of UrYa is ["a creature made from mossy rocks and nearby leaves arranging itself in the shape of an urRu, with triskelion-like markings on its rocks. An animating spirit possessing parts of the land, though it should also bear some kind of mark on its neck as well, perhaps moss shaped like skesis claws on the stones or foliage that make up its neck, or perhaps just an unpleasant angle to its neck (as a visual reminder of what ended his life)
It is a creature in love with the land of Thra, but also wanting to move on, and the only way to do so is to assist its more vengeful dark half, so there is a more gentle sadness in its features."]
Do you think I nailed the described looks?
