#nylah deftwill

May VSArtParty this time in sketchbook!

Well yes, you could say this is my wavehawk...

No, it doesn't have water jets... yet...

Of course i pet him, he's a good boy! I tinker with it, i improve his boosters... He likes it!

First official Nylah's appearance!

She's a Statics "mesmer", huge fan of councillor Ludo, who wasn't able to learn mesmer magic to be like her, so she began to mimic it using holograms. Long story short, in an attempt to achieve better hologram response, she cooperated with Twikk to try using an ooze to control them, and while this worked (her holograms are on par with mesmers now) she bonded with an ooze, with hair-related side effects.

The wings are just her way to store her ooze when not in use, plus already having the glider shape helps deploying it faster.

She's a well-known Statics and Priory member, however she always shows a more "political" and mild character and outfit. However, going to Castora to escort the commander along with Kail convinced her to go full-true self, wich normally emerges only when she's partecipating in clandestine races.

(How did she bring the Hoverbike to Castora you ask? Well, there may have been a towed vehicle behind the Commander's ship. Don't tell Sayida)

(Yeah i couldn't resist giving her anime eyes, sorry)

This is Nylah.

Yeah, that was the title; idea was pretty simple, execution not so much; took at least a couple of hours more than expected...

Lore dump and disclaimer under the cut <3

Need... to stay...awake...

Poor Kail, doing your duty may be hard at times.

This took a LOT, and i'm still quite not happy with the light of the campfire and Nylah's pose and orientation, but time's up, so here we go ^^

(from next month i'm gonna try making a real schedule, wich will probably be VS Art party shot, postcard, my OC shot (will start making a character sheet and tell something), postcard (or another project if i find the time). These first posts were just to see if i could fit a schedule, and it seems to work albeit tight, so i'm appoving the method but lightening a bit the work needed)

One with Nature - October 2024 UAoT Screenshot Contest winner "Elder dragons, gods, titans... Rising and falling, leaving behind only destruction and death, battlefields and catastrophes. People can rebuild or move somewhere else, but nature will always grow again. Some fight for their home, their loved ones or simply their own life. But i fight for the land, and to be there watching it thrive again." -Nylah Deftwill
