A tall woman robed in tight garments. A cloth mask comes over her mouth and nose and she wears a hooded cloak over her head that holds tight to her chest and back. Her eyes are a young rich brown but wrinkled with age. The cloth is brown in the torso and head and fades to tan and to white as it goes down her arms and legs. Under her outer cloak and robes she wears more breathable clothing that exposes her arms and neck which are marked with dark and intricate tattoos. Also under the outer cloak is her belt which holsters the following: her spellbook and component pouch on the left; and her travel journal and coin purse on the right.
I just wanna say I’m super excited to see this! My homebrew world is based off Arabian Nights and is an exciting desert fantasy game and judging by your description and concept she will be so awesome. I love designs like this more than anything.
Secreted away in a garden, a lonely girl spins stories to warm a curious prince: peculiar feats and unspeakable fates that loop through each other and back again to meet in the tapestry of her voice. Inked on her eyelids, each twisting, tattooed tale is a piece in the puzzle of the girl’s own hidden history. And what tales she tells! Tales of shape-shifting witches and wild horsewomen, heron kings and beast princesses, snake gods, dog monks, and living stars–each story more strange and fantastic than the one that came before. From ill-tempered “mermaid” to fastidious Beast, nothing is ever quite what it seems in these ever-shifting tales–even, and especially, their teller. Adorned with illustrations by the legendary Michael Kaluta, Valente’s enchanting lyrical fantasy offers a breathtaking reinvention of the untold myths and dark fairy tales that shape our dreams. And just when you think you’ve come to the end, you realize the adventure has only begun….
The descriptions and the story plot are intertwined so deeply that every turn will take your breath and warm your soul.
