My sylvari necromancer, Myradaes, has seen a lot of changes, though I think I've found a look that works for him. He's isn't supposed to be a young sylvari, he's actually the eldest of all my sylvari in terms of headcanon. He's also very fragile when it comes to his emotions, which was why the Nightmare Court found it was easy to manipulate him into joining their ranks. He has yet to fully fall into Nightmare, however, still fighting with his emotions and feelings towards my other characters (in particular to Despada, my main). In terms of how this affected his appearance, it's actually rather straight forward.

I wanted Myradaes to have this rather venomous look to him, while still evoking a sense of beauty. Think of him as a very beautiful flower you're enticed to pick and smell, only to have your finger pricked and infected with a deadly poison. You want to look, and touch, but you shouldn't. I went with a very simple color scheme for him as well. Green and Violet aren't that original, but I also threw in some browner tones to signify that he's withering. Almost as though the Nightmare is tearing at him more than just mentally.

Anyway, here's the look! I've been wanting to get this up for a while, but kept forgetting too! I hope you all like it! :)
