Shes my silver morning muse. A distant and persistent wraith of a character always just within reach for a sketch. Like a whim, she leaves before I can fully carve her out of stone.
My main OC for Elden ring
Before I get into this I am not religious. I was raised catholic but I am not - idk why this part of this character is so dead on with religious iconography. With Elden Ring taking inspiration from ancient Assyrian and Babylonian myth & culture I think it just clicked for me. Certainly helps that Elden ring is not shy about taking bits and bobs from other religions too.
Golgotha - I named her that because that is the hill that Jesus died on. And Elden ring is about killin the heck out of gods and stuff.
If you were to search up images of the irl Golgotha you’d see craigy cliffs and pale stone outcropping. In the stations of the cross (in catholic teachings the stations are super important. It’s basically a step by step recounting of Jesus getting crucified and then entombed and then rising from the dead) the 12th station is him dying on the cross. On Golgotha. Often times the scene is depicted as Jesus doing his thing flanked by two other crosses and then people mourning at his feet, and then right under all that (literally under the earth) is usually a skull or a couple of skulls. This is because ‘Golgotha’ literally translates to ‘The place of the skull’.
My Golgotha is grayscale like a sun bleached skull. She comes from underground. She is the place that god dies on.
I thought it was cool ok
