Empress Melia Antiqua By the The-Nonexsistant

Yes!! this is a thing! drawn by once again by the amazing and fun fact Melia was one of the FIRST commissions that I asked to do for me, all the way back in the late summer of 2015. yeah that feels like a long time ago.

She is mentioned throughout my fan-fic Xenoblade Rebirth but this is the first that she appears in the story rather then just some mention. and I had debated on not having her appear in this chapter but then I figured, screw it, my story plus fans of the game will be happy to see her in the story, kinda, she's not described in detail but now you guys get to see what she'd look like an adult. now as to why she looks so young instead of being elderly like so many High Entia would be around 300 years, well, you guys will just have to wait and see for I shall not spoil it!

But regardless I hope you all like how she looks, it took a bit to pin down her look to a T but I think the final product came out lovely, hope you guys feel the same.

also when writing this bit with Melia and the guard I was listening too this:
