The lost continent of Styric

Styric is a Continent made of a small set of Islands off to the far south west of Tal’ dorei, On the world of Exandria. They have long been left alone out of fear, Fear of the strange lights the come form the central Island and Legends of disappearance’s of many people. Very tropical and swampy, nearly a non stop storm and fog hides the Islands now days adding to the myth and fear. The Continent has been long forgotten other then the myth of it.   (Not any where near canon, but this is me tying it in to my story i am working on.) 

laudna and imogen temult as joseph paelinck’s orpheus and eurydice

forgive me for the orpheus and eurydice parallel with these two but I can’t help but see it. these recent episodes have destroyed not just my pussy (sorry) but also my heart and soul. I had to paint something angsty and moon-washed and sad, so here you go!!! complete with some close-ups on their faces. I love them, I miss laudna, I am very excited for the coming episodes.

if you want a digital commission or just wanna support my art then here’s the link to my ko-fi:

laudna and imogen temult as egon schiele’s death and the maiden.

crossed over to critical role for my third old painting redraw!! this one is a bit more obscure than the kiss or the meeting on the turret stairs but I love it very much and think it quite suits imogen and laudna.

okay but what if imogen is a kalashtar

I know I don’t really post on here BUT I have an imogen theory. This might have already been said but she has a lot of similarities to the kalashtar race from ebberon??

kalashtar are a race created from the union of a human and a dream realm spirit known as quori, which is then passed down through generations, so it’s a hereditary thing. In appearance they essentially are sort of like aasimar in terms of looking very human with some little weird almost alien twinges.

kalashtar have a specific trait called severed from dreams:  Kalashtar sleep, but they don’t connect to the plane of dreams as other creatures do. Instead, their minds draw from the memories of their otherworldly spirit while they sleep. could possibly explain some moon shit??

ALSO they CAN READ MINDS and SPEAK TELEPATHICALLY TO OTHER CREATURES. It also mentions in some sources that Kalashtar’s eyes flash and glow when they’re experiencing strong emotions, which happens to imogen sometimes.

I just wonder if matt and laura worked on melding the kalashtar into a version that would work in exandria, so maybe not a quori spirit exactly but something ruidus-related? maybe this is all coincidental and maybe someone has said it already, who knows, but I’ve been thinking about it for a little while!!
