The Soul Dwasp is just my imagination's attempt to recreate bits and pieces of a dream it had the night before with a primary school glue stick. It really has no resemblance to any Australian animal thus far. I found it boring to stick within the boundaries of the Australian theme, and easier to let my mind be free and outside of the figuratively real box, without anything to conform to. So now that I've let my mind spew its soul all over the canvas to its hearts content, i can move on to painting the Australian theme all over it. Any ideas on which Australian animals could be combined? my mind is feeling pretty drained at the moment and left to stew within its own juices, so it would be nice to see the collaborative thoughts of one another.Thoughts can only go so far when puts to words, but the thoughts themselves are limitless, so when you do find a way to describe a unique thought with a series of words, you find yourself with it compelling to create an action beyond all movements of physical reference and returning back to the mind seeking redemption.
The Soul Dwasp if anything shares the traits of a hummingbird in its movements. Hovering over everything with immense speed and precision. Its agile like qualities allow it to move gracefully in all directions, rotating within the air vertically and horizontally. Building enough speed will allow it to look like a blur of sharp wind. From the back it also has a tail tucked up the back with a poisonous barb that it can shoot from its body like a dagger. The Soul Dwasps are incredibly playfull and innocent looking, though definitely not to be underestimated. They are attracted to energy sources of any sort and kindhearted people and thus are the guardians of their ruins.
Playful little thing sounds interesting (b^^)b
ReplyDeleteYeah! :] thinking of having them hang around in swarms around flowers mostly at the higher areas of the mountain that are harder to get to , a lot more isolated, as they're sacred like and keep to themselves unless they find their attractions.
ReplyDeleteBut i also had an idea that a Soul Dwasp could find the main character of this game at the start, and be attracted to him by his kind heart and nature. and then follows him around as a kind of health gauge, similar to how the Spyro series worked at the start, with Sparks the dragon fly representing his health.
But it could also just be an animal that you can use as a weapon, similar to how Jack from Dead to rights, has his wolf which he could use to attack people whilst shooting ;]
If it were featured i was thinking of giving the specific one that follows the player around an actual name like Odette? kind of feminine, it's meant to be :p
