Description This was done as a part of a weekly challenge in an art group, wherein I had to make a single layer painting with an analogous color scheme. The brief left a lot open to interpretation!

'"Come now, me mustn't dawdle in here, we do not belong in here as children of the light, always remember that."

The clerics of the 3 moons were a sect of the religious system of the albino dragonoids who practiced moon magic. Their demeanor towards the magic was more scholarly than those of the other sects and was less about transcendence than research and study. The clerics of the 3 moons actively avoided causing themselves any mutations as sign of losing oneself. This subgroup of their religion was particularly more popular on the outer edges of the capital and in the more rural areas which weren't as zealous. Their ceremonial garb that they regularly wore was immediately reckognizable, with the standout silver rings that hung on them which were depictions of their holy symbol, the hollow moon, as well as being figurative chains that kept their senses and soul bound to the world of light.'

oh my i love this. I know this was a weekly challenge thing that you did almost three years ago, but do you think its possible for you to extend on this aspect. I love fantasy religions based around moons/ astrology and such and and always did have a soft spot for your works regarding moon magic,

I really wanna learn more about it

You certainly captured the spooky religious feel in the pic. Also love the description it explains a lot and adds deeper meaning to your artwork.
the moon magic behind the dragonoid, that reminds me a lot of algamate biomass? Is that on purpose or is it meant to be the shadows coming to life or something?
