Meluhha, an intimidating priestess inspired by the idea of the leader of a futuristic Indus Valley Civilisation. This project is close to my heart, as I have grown up as a bit of an archaeology and ancient mythology nerd. Taking inspiration from symbols and archaeological evidence found at excavation sites from around the Harappan civilisation, she came to life.

Designing the Weapon
Since there has been no conclusive evidence of weapons found at Harappan archaeological sites,
I created an energy spear inspired by harpoons.
Final Character Sheet
includes a closeup of the spear, front and back poses of the character,
a logo, as well as the colour palette used.
