Description *Update* Tried to fix the shading, not sure if it worked though.

That was a lot of roses. ;-;
That drawing was supposed to be done more than a month ago but everytime I wanted to work on it, I became tired of all the roses and stopped. And I nearly gave up today again. But it is done and I'm happy.
Thought I'm a bit pissed off that the shading is barely visible -_- 

Anyway, here's my little ghost lady, Acu, with her new design. I also finally managed to give her (and Nox too) a real backstory that also fit the world they belong to. Since her and Nox were killed rather... gruesomely, their backstory aren't really cheerful. But now I can correctly explain why Acu cannot talk anymore or why Nox is blind. 
I won't explain it all here since it isn't all that important to anyone but myself. But basically, Acu was killed by her fiancee on the day of their wedding. He slashed her throat so deeply that she was nearly beheaded (which also cut her vocal cords which rendered her mute) because she wasn't as obedient and submissive as he would have liked and he started believing she was cheating on him (he wasn't the nicest). He then dumped her body in the woods. Acu was later brought back as a ghost by a god-like being (Umbra) to guard (along with Nox) another very dangerous god-like being (Madness) that was basically trapped inside two young women (Akélia and Eclipse) by accident. And since these last two end up in my mercenary group/clan (still working on the name), Acu and Nox also end up with them. 

I still need to work some details about the differences between normal spirits and ghosts as well as basically everthing about Madness and Umbra. But that's the point of this whole project thingy. You know. World-building.

I'll need to make some sheets to explain the races and all that at some point.

Yep :/

I would actually love to do something like that but I really have trouble writing things -A- But I'll have to get around  to writing stories or index for my world building project.

that is a LOT of roses
but they're all so beautiful!! and the details are so fine ;o;
I love the complex interactions and histories between your characters... I guess that's all a part of world building though! Do you ever plan to write a story on it, or just build the world in art? Either way, you are so good at it !! ;o;

Thank you! 
It was a lot of work but it was worth it ^w^
Well, I think it feels more interesting and alive to have them interacting and influencing each other than just have isolated characters. It also force me to create more precise backstories to explain said interactions. 
I'm still thinking about it. I might do a comic or visual novel later on but for now, I'll just build it in art.

you're welcome! ^u^
It's a good idea! I'm probably going to try to intertwine my character's lives a bit more too... 

oooh a comic would be pretty coo tool! but either way, your world is incredible ;o;
