Will-o-wisps preview!
🕑 Added 2020-11-22 21:36:17 +0000 UTCGood day!
Today we see the preview for Will-O-wisps as suggested by Raven Burns!
"An atmospheric ghost light seen by travelers at night, especially over bogs, swamps or marshes. The phenomenon is known in English folk belief, English folklore and much of European folklore by a variety of names, including jack-o'-lantern, friar's lantern, hinkypunk and hobby lantern and is said to mislead travelers by resembling a flickering lamp or lantern. In literature, will-o'-the-wisp metaphorically refers to a hope or goal that leads one on but is impossible to reach or something one finds sinister and confounding." - Wikipedia Appearance: An orb of floating light. Perhaps changes colours (Rainbow/Chromatic)
Wisps are tricky creatures to draw! particularly for the look I was going for in this particular instance, as I wanted it to be straight up glowing orbs, and not have any distinctive features from other creature types!
I spent quite some time getting the effects to look right, including some discarded attempts!
For instance, this take was discarded as I felt it would be more fitting for a water elemental ethereal creature instead !
Up next we will have the preview for Baby animals!
Will-O-Wisps should make for some interesting regular encounter materials once released!
Are you looking forward to this release? Let me know!
Stay tuned!
