It’s been a while, and that’s because life happened. But now I’m back, and I have some more updates!
Hashing out this piece I’ve been working on for a while. It’s my character for DND.
Kilyn Corvidae is a tall, blonde haired half-elf with purple eyes and mocha skin. The daughter of a blacksmith, she never wanted to pursue the same trade as her human mother. Her father is a well known dancer in the village and the surrounding lands. Since her father travels often to perform, Kilyn dances while he is away to better connect with her father during the down times of helping her mother fix farming equipment and militia gear.
Visiting the local library run by her friend Roscoe, Kilyn asked if there were any books on different dance styles. One style spoke to her dream of following her father, a style that blends swordplay, arcane arts, and graceful dancing: Bladesinger. She devoted all available time learning the ways of the Bladesinger, scouring as many books as she could. Despite doing the best she could, she could never quite reach the level of Bladesinger.
One day, there was a call to adventure in the town. An adventure like this would be the perfect chance for Kilyn to bring her dancing to the people and be known just like her father. Maybe she’ll find a Bladesinger to teach her what she was missing, too. Before leaving on the adventure with her friends, her mother gifted Kilyn with an elegant longsword forged in her fires. Her father gifted a beautiful set of blue and purple leathers fit for a dancer. Donning her new equipment, she hugged her parents one last time before venturing forth.
Dropped in some eyes and finally got a hairstyle that works. Faux hawk for the win! Nose feels a bit rectangular. Have to fix that.
I’m hoping to get this and a side view done for the August classes. There’s a week in there, I think Week 3 where we can sculpt whatever we want, so I want to sculpt a bust.
