Description

Squeaking in under the wire with a creature for Spiral-Teardrop !


1 - What parts of your prompt were written well and easy to understand? Was there anything the writer of the prompt could improve on or include next time they create a prompt?


The prompt was very detailed, which was nice!  I felt like I had a good idea of what you wanted, even if I wasn't sure how to achieve it at first. 


2 - Please explain how you interpreted the prompt to create your design. Which features did you use? Did you stick to the chosen palette or make changes to it? Does the design you created have any special abilities or quirks?


Humanoid but not human, while retaining human facial features was a bit tricky, so I chose to omit as many features as possible and those shown are not quite in the usual configuration.  I actually would have maybe liked to push this a little more towards the "hidden" or "secret" side of things but I really liked this simple form once I came up with it, so I stuck with it.  It's a little weird, so I hope you like it. 


I stuck with the general prompts for the color scheme but I think perhaps the accent yellow is a bit too bright?  I played around with some alternatives but this still seemed like the best option. The intent was that the fabric of the robes are made from a sort of two-tone iridescent fabric that shifts when the light from the halo hits it.


I suspect the halo might be too celestial/biblical in nature but I just....I just freakin' love halos.  I can't help it.  Anyway, I hope you enjoy it and even if it's not quite what you were looking for, perhaps it can inspire some ideas in you!

Oh my gosh, this is amazing! I love it! The whole aesthetic is spot on, with the mysterious and gentle vibe I was imagining. I really like how you did the the arms and hooves, and the veil and the halo (I agree with you about halos; they're just so convenient for putting around a head! ). Thanks!

Great design! I love the arrangement of the hands, there's something eeriely off about it, and also the simple shapes of the clothing.

Thank you!  I was really pleased with the hands once I hit on the idea - the prompt wanted humanoid but not human and that felt like a nice way to keep the general shape but make it distinctly NOT human.
