Valravns - Appearance

This is just my personal take on valravns. Many elements present here are not found in the source material and instead are inferences or were wholly invented by me. Feel free to use these ideas for your own valravn or valravn-inspired characters!

~~~

The valravn is a liminal being, and each one is unique in appearance. Some appear as gigantic, eight-foot-tall raven raptors, while others are griffon-like hybrids of ravens and wolves. To complicate this matter, valravns are shapeshifters and have numerous forms for different occasions. They may blend into the environment and travel unseen as a mundane raven, then later take on a monstrous form to attack prey. The only consistency between all valravns' true forms is that they all have corvid traits in some way. They may have wolf traits as well, but this is not always the case.

Some valravns are capable of taking on a human form. They tend to give themselves armor when they do so, giving the impression that they are turning into a knight. This guise is not perfect, as there will always be something slightly unsettling and not quite right about them. While a valravn disguised as a raven can remain unassuming indefinitely, a valravn disguised as a human will inevitably be found out.

“Be wary of those with a shadow split in two. Something lurk underneath the skin. Something dark.

Something… dangerous.”

heeey my shoulder is finally on the mend and finally in a place good enough for me to draw again without making it worse! It’s definitely not ready for hard work yet though, it’s been 4 months and it’s fragile and out of practice!

But oh my god it’s so good to hold my pen again and not feel my shoulder on fire. I’ve missed this so very very much.

I’m finally reaching the final stage of this illustration, after almost 4 years working on and off on it! 💪

“Feathered Dinosaurs aren’t scary,” is false, it’s about how it is presented and nothing is more terrifying than a bitter truth.
