Malenia rests at the Haligtree. Sans artificial limbs
To me, nudity is not inherently sexual. It’s art, it’s a vehicle to prove a point, it’s a body. (Although I do not judge anyone for thinking otherwise)
This is really all that is left of her flesh body. The rot has eaten her eyes, her arm and the majority of her legs. It’s forced her to change her shape, how she presents herself. Despite everything, she is still every ounce a demigod in her own right. A master swordsman. Feared, revered, sworn fealty to. The rot is an inescapable aspect of her life. And yet she persists.
God shes one of my favorite characters ever I love her so much.
Based on this beautiful sculpture:
This is the “Contemplating Nymph” by Ludwig von Schwanthaler (1874)
If I was to try this again I’d make the little serpent at her feet the kindred of Rot 😛
