Two sides of the same coin.
I legitimately did not realise how much these twos' designs directly contrasted each other until now lmfao
Which, with the wider story involving them considered, it Makes Sense™

I'm doing inktober this year but to save myself from burning out I'm doing one a week instead of a day and I'm doing a different one of my sylvari each week! Week one is my newest (even if he's about to be a year old, oop), my little fire elementalist Hao!
Mediums used: pigma ink pens, copic markers, prisma colored pencils for some blending, gelliroll pen for highlights ☺️

Have you ever died in a nightmare?
Finally, someone's out there inventing the torment nexus.

Oh hey, did I ever post this?

I don't think so...well in that case, this is my Guild Ward 2 character, Afernita Peregrine! I decided I wanted to draw how she would look throughout the seasons (her summer look being the default), as well as her Nightmare court disguise, and human bandit disguise! Let me know what you guys think! I personally love her 💚🪴🧡

Maybe the Nightmare is Void, actually
I saw a post regarding this but I forgot to reply before it was lost to time but uh
Pretty sure the Nightmare retcon switched it from being Mordremoth, actually, to being Void influence.
Faolain found it in Orr (known resting place of an elder dragon), as a shadow older than time. She let it consume her. The Nightmare is about an “awakening” to a wider truth about life, beyond Ventari’s teachings and morality. It’s about realizing the world is cruel, and that the dark corners of existence as equally as worthy of reverence as its virtues.
In the end, according to Ankka’s characterization, the Void is pretty similar to philosophical nihilism (in the end, everything ends in nothing), so it wouldn’t surprise me if someone took that teaching and applied it to the sylvari striving to follow a moral code, ending up with “why go against the cruel nature of the world, if in the end it all ends in nothing?”
Now the different Nightmare offshoots (philosophical discussion vs Let’s Torch The Grove To The Ground vs Torture Is Good, Actually) might have spawned from there, but they all come from a skewed understanding of balance. In the end, Void is the reflection of life (anti-life if you will), and it must exist in a balance. Maybe that’s the truth Faolain ultimately saw, and the takeaway she had from it was that suffering has a place in that balance.

Nestled between muscle and sinew, a deep rage festered within Rhynn. An old rage. The kind that had been an uncomfortably close companion in his younger years; the kind that scorched every nerve raw. With hands that shook from a cocktail of pain and adrenaline he sparked a match, setting light to a cigarette clasped between two fingers. He took a long, slow drag - lets the acrid burn of smoke settle in his lungs with his animosity - and exhaled. His Retinue was in shambles. Those that remained had recognised the position they were in: between a rock, and a hard place. Between him, and the Violet-Eyed Stalker. One of them refused to accept the futility in the situation, had tried to cut down Rhynn themselves, hoping to put an end to the nightmare they were in. They got close, but not close enough - and now Rhynn bore the wounds of that bitter victory, adorned his assailant's blood as the spoils.
When your main arc villain in your roleplay group is going Through It.
Not even the Nightmare can save you from hell itself.

His presence was like his patron's: either the summer swelter of a sunlit meadow, or the endless, searing march of a beating star.
