What lies beneath - a Tribute to Grendel's Mother

Grendel's Mother is a tertiary character in the epic Old English poem, Beowulf. The character is not named in the poem and all we know about her is that she lives with her monstrous son in a flooded grotto and tries to warn her son about the dangerous human warriors he might encounter if he leaves the safety of their lair. Grendel ignores his mother's advice and they both die as a result.

I decided the Mother wasn't a monster in the usual sense, just a very powerful female shapeshifter with a few unusual features, who represents the dangers awaiting anyone who seeks to confront the unknown, either in the world or in themselves...

New from Aii for Midnight Order

Aii has created disturbingly lovely new items for this round of Midnight Order, which opens January 20 at noon slt. 

BlackMage has separate unisex components which can be mixed and matched to be worn boldly bare or elegantly robed for all your Victorian / Fantasy / Magical needs. 

• Rigged for: Ebody Reborn: Waifu, V-tech Legacy F: Perky, Petite Legacy M: Athletic
• BlackMage Bodice, Choker, Earrings, Loincloth Necklace, Robe, Skirt, Straps, Fur Boa. 
• The hud allows personalization of everything from metal to lace with 30 textures for each part and 10 metals. The set includes a full-length fur boa to wear with or without the robe and the jewelry shown here. 
• You must use a viewer that shows PBR in order to appreciate the textures! 

 

• Adding an eerie otherworldly touch are the Ghost Mage Hands. Imagine malevolent spiritual hands compelled to serve from beyond the veil. What might happen when they turn hostile to their binding mage?

• Every bone is visible in the floating Animesh Hands. The hud holds 25 Skin colors including spots and stripes and 25 Bone colors. The floating hands come in S and L, with or without eyes in the palm. Unrigged Body Hands can be resized.
