#conceptdrawing

The main things I decided to change:

Her last name has been changed to a common Polish last name. Nowak means "new man" and/or "newcomer."

Her Dymkovo into a Pisanki egg, with as much meaning as before.

I added and made sure all of her scars have reasons, as well as adding a lower back scar to represent the injuries she would have received when she died.

I also changed her hairstyle, not only to make the scars more visible on her back but also to represent a desire to connect with her heritage.

I am also going to leave the concept for the Pisanki that I used to help me design it correctly. It does list the color meanings, though what they symbolize or how Fiadh feels about them may not be as straight forward when put in the circumstances of the story.

Here are the two sources I used during this process.

Ingle, Sheila. “Pisanki, Polish Easter Eggs.” Sheila Ingle, 28 Mar. 2020, sheilaingle.com/2020/03/28/pisanki-polish-easter-eggs/.

Kępa, Marek. “Discover the World of Pisanki, or Polish Easter Eggs | Article | Culture.Pl.” CULTURE.PL, 15 Apr. 2019, culture.pl/en/article/discover-the-world-of-pisanki-or-polish-easter-eggs.

I will soon be posting a big drawing, and when the teams are revealed and a card is made, I will make a card for that too. As a last reminder, I do have 5 commission slots open on Ko-fi, which should be linked in my pinned post. I will only accept commissions through Ko-fi, and anyone commenting about it will have their comment removed.
