Sketch redesign for biolucent on bsky // Thank you so much again//

Been talking about this guy for way too long on my Insta story, it's about time I let him out of the cave 😔 I won't go into many details about him yet because his Toyhouse is still under construction, but I can tell you some basic stuff! His name is Veloril and he's a Snow Elf, priest of Auri-El, and a sculptor.

He is living inside a hidden shrine near Haafingar, where he spent millennia restoring it, praying and sculpting statues of Auri-El and those he loved. He walks with a limp because he broke his ankle while he was being chased and it never healed properly, therefore he needs a cane. He also suffers from a severe case of hemeralopia (day blindness) for... certain reasons 👁👁 Which means he can't see during daylight/ in very light areas and is forced to remain in his dimly lit shrine and can only leave it once the sun has set...

I considered giving him clothes with a lighter color palette because I think it would fit his complexion really well, but I feel like that would rather be something he wore in the past, where things were still better. I ultimately decided to give him darker, more muted clothes. I think it represents a kind of "degeneration" and his retreat into the shadows of the shrine, away from the light.
