La Fée Mélusine WIP (Patreon)

So this one is a bit of a personnal project ^^ 

A couple months ago I went to a city in France and I tumbled upon decorations showing what can only be described as a naked winged naga XD

I was surprised to learn they were representations of  Mélusine, a mythical being dating back from middle ages. She is most often described as a beautiful  snakewoman living either in forests or marsh lands and playing tricks on travellers.  Tales can present her as both a benevolent or malicious spirit.

At this point I was pretty intrigued so  I read some tales where she appears and found one particular legend where Mélusine plants and grows a magical herb in forests called the "détourne". Travellers unwittingly stepping on the détourne become hopelessly lost. Some manage to find their way once they walk in sections of the forest free of that herb but some disappear forever..  And yes from there that idea was born XD
