[KyTran]

KyTran, I'm pretty sure I can answer this one for you, your character design has to be rooted in a culture that does or has existed in real life (not a made up one, like Elven, or anything sci-fi) but can be exaggerated to a degree. For Merlin, the otherworldly and magical aspects of him has to be apart of a cultures mythology, take Malan's Ancient Arabian Djinn for example, it was apart of the mythology, and so can be used in his design. I think the tricky part is balancing fantastical elements with the mundane ones. Goodluck!

Thanks Thomas!
