The Founder of the Nightmare Court gets Therapy

I've been rather obsessed with Cadeyrn for the last few months after @icebrooding reminded me he existed. I've re-read the short stories of his upbringing so many times and it pains me how badly his family failed him, primarily out of their own ignorance of how the world works, and their own sense of pride. It really messed up his world view.

It's okay, he's got Bo now to help sort things out.

Backlog of a dumb thing I drew a while ago about my fic of Trahearne discovering Spicy Literature

Dug through some (really old now, oops) screenshots of characters I saw in the wilderness that I wanted to try drawing sometime, and finally got round to some of them! Entirely salads this time, but what can I say, the technicolour aspect of sylvari is just too enticing to me hahaha.

Thinking about Cadeyrn and a bit about how Nightmare may have changed him physically. I don't really imagine much did change, but I love the idea of his hair being like holly leaves! Starting off nice and rounded until threat-response made them spiky.

Besides that, a joke-that-turned-serious was Cadeyrn having maladaptive daydreams which led to 'he barely gets any sleep', resulting in the dark circles permanently under his eyes.

I was gonna give him a more gruff expression in the first one but I wanted to capture instead the more innocent part of him that was snuffed out (plus it made for better contrast with that >;) face lol)
