Shallan’s Sketchbook Part III: Urithiru
Ooo, surprise illustration. I didn’t think we’d get another one until after the interludes. Looks like Urithitru from the Shadesmar side. The crystalline, translucent construction of light, almost like a ray tracing, is a sweet look. I don’t remember what it looked like before the tower came to life. Did we get a shadesmar description? We must have, at least from the base of the stairs they climbed down, but I don’t remember it obviously. 

Those spren are freaking looking. A label would have been nice so we know which emotions are suddenly not okay to feel today. The mouth eyes in the maw of the six-legged lizard skinsuit were the first thing that caught my attention on this page. Going by the track record of spren being much larger in Shadesmar than I’m comfortable with, I’m going to assume this is basically a wall-clinging crocodile. Ew. 

The combination sea urchin squid wouldn’t be that bad–indeed, I glossed right over it with barely a glance–except that it is hovering right over a little soul flame. To think that’s just floating along stalking someone as they go about their day, casually slurping up whichever emotion it feeds on… horrifying. It doesn’t matter what size this thing is if my personal manifestation in shadesmar is bite-size to it.
