Create a Leaf Sylesti



Happy Fall Festival everyone! The object of this game is to go outside and gather up some pretty leaves and design one of the Sylestia species!

Here is an example image from a previous contest.




Rules

1. Your creation must include at least one species from Sylestia that is totally designed from leaves.

2. You are allowed to make more than one Sylesti or create an overall scene, but everything needs to be 'built' with leaves and be contained within one scene/picture.

3. You can use glue/tape or whatever is necessary to hold the leaves together to form a general shape.

4. Please make sure to take at least 4 process pictures with your username and date in the picture.

5. Please check the Fall Festival Overview Thread for the listed End Time for Forum Games. Any entries posted after this time will not qualify.

Crappy attempt at an aeri xD Things never turn out as nice in rl as in my head

Final Result

Oh look! It's a Fallen Leaves Qitari =D

First I traced the image I wanted, I chose the flagship species because it's my favorite. <3


Then I did the body, mane, and tail.
G3 - Tri-Color Mane


Made some indentions on the leaves to give the appearance of scales, gave it an eye, and added:
M1 - Dragon Whiskers
M2 - Satyr Horns
M3 - Floral Fairy Wings (fall rendition)


And finally added some cute flowers to accent it ^^


Comparison from Generator

G1: Leopard
G2: Striped Scales
G3: -
M1: -
M2: Unicorn Horn
M3: Feathered Wings

Samhain Lupora in leaves!

Water Dragon Sylvorpa







(I wasn't sure if cutting the leaves was allowed so I did what I could with the ones I could pick up.)

Basic Sketch


Realised that doing the front wing before the body was not a great idea!


Getting there...


And done :)


Close up!


Not quite how I imagined it in my head but I loved playing with all the autumn colours.
