Today on CNN: Scientists are rushing to the outskirts of Shacklesplit to study what is called the only confirmed aquatic creature to have wings. The current hypothesis is "wtf?", but stay tuned!

The most notable part is she doesn't look like she just emerged from a lake

I don't know, maybe a sea nymph has fins akin to a flying fish

But you are all forgetting the most important question!!
Can one ride the seahorses? :D
(wut? you thought I was going to ask something else?)

For some reason picturing her emerging from the water makes me think of the Lady of the Lake, which also brings to mind a scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail "Oh, but you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you." So now I'm wondering if the watery tart attacks by chucking swords at you.

I like her the way she looks now.

Maybe you could just edit out the wings? Shouldn't be too difficult. But then I suppose she'd lose any indication that she's supposed to be, well...not human...

I might just do a whole "set" of merfolk people, since artist is finishing a bunch of elves and dwarves now. So next there could be that, including sea nymphs and such.

That sounds like a great idea!, I'd love to see your artists take on merfolk, they've been a personal favourite of mine for awhile.

Yes, I'd like to expand the Aravorn lore even under the seas
Meanwhile, on the ground...

the sprite is a card from Undead Lily but was just too good and perfect for this scene so I had to borrow it

I know you used the same picture for Sylphs and Nymphs in Loren 1 as well. I assume each might be a different race...
But yeah, I figured there was a race of merfolk :D *ponders a siren seducing the Amazons*
As for the Sand Devil, I did say some of the monsters from Undead Lily looks like they would fit :D

Sand Devil?? I
knew there was a reason for sand under swimsuit after a long day at the beach!
Anyway.. is that a Heileen background? What did he do to her & Juliet sparring?

Yes the BG is from Heileen 2. I think there's nothing bad in re-using existing art I've commissioned from other games, of course for some specific scenes. Help contains the cost (so I can maybe add some extra bonus CG at the end...
) and faster development (each BG would take minimum 1 week to make).

Hehe, I wasn't trying to imply that there would be something bad in reusing it. It goes remarkably well together with Sand Devil. Just wanted to ask because it looked familiar (Juliet & Heileen are missing that seagull, though.... I just checked mah Heileen 3... probably a slightly different crop) and because I'm a landscape/background nut.

Haha yes also that game used 4:3, while SOTW (as my more recent ones) use 16:9. Luckily I have the BGs always at higher resolutions
