gristol:

quick concepts for some ideas of spirits i had. from left to right:

1. the keeper: guardian of cemeteries - makes sure graves remain clean and never without flowers.
2. crywolf: once thought to be a trickster spirit that led travelers to their doom, this spirit’s actual intent is to help travelers discover unmarked graves of murder victims.
3. the cacophony: will appear to some individuals - serves the same purpose as a banshee.
4. the rat king: a spirit of vengeance, unleashed upon those who hurt others.
5. the lure: an otherworldly being that feeds on lost souls - will lure them close and devour them whole.
6. the guardian: a watchful sloth spirit that comforts the spirit of dead children, allowing them to paint his fur.
