YAY!! 🎉🎉 HATE GIRL HATE!! 💕💕

I loved this, Mt Nomad is such.... She's so interesting. Mt Nomad! The terrifying horrific living mountain that tears ships to pieces. She is absolutely that, she is absolutely all this rage, she truly has no soft edges.

^ her sunless seas sprite.

But also. Then. Her context. Like so many things she is alive. She's... A she, a niece, a daughter. Of course someone using 'it' as a pronoun does not mark them as less/not a person, but for a roaming mountain that lives to kill... It is a surprise she is extended those familial terms. Clearly recognised as more than a monster when she is one of the most vicious beings at Zee.

If you (temporarily) kill her in Sunless Seas, it isn't just that the Fathomking is obliged to curse you because Mt Nomad is related to him... He pauses for a very long time in what seems like sad reflection...

Mt Nomad is a kind of tragic figure who is given nothing sympathetic. We have no clarity on her feelings or mind and she has done nothing but rage and murder. Nothing suggests she is sad about this, we can't even know how much she understands herself and her context...

Yet. She is a girl, born in hate, and she is alive.

Mt Nomad's Heart

In the depths of the mountain lay a great egg of smooth gold. Once every hour, it pulses with slow and deadly life.

:D !!!!!!!

I really like the energy from even a simple sketch, like maybe I'm reading into the lines but I feel like I can see a seething anger very befitting of her.....

I've wanted to come up with a mt nomad design myself but never had, I'm excited by the concept because I don't think anyone has done so before but she's a very evocative character!

I think my obstacle is when I imagine a humanoid mt nomad I just default to imagining her as a modern punk-goth with a mohawk... she's a sharp obsideon mountain full of rage, I just want to give her piercings and a ripped t-shirt :')

Mt. Nomad: Of course I could, Dawnie. You know I could.
