The Grey Lady



This Ryo is inspired by ghostly ladies luring people. The jewels and rose markings look really sophisticated and lady-like. The colours are inspired by darkness and lightballs people associate with ghosts (I've been watching a bit too much Ghost Adventures lately XD It fitted with Halloween)

My design is based around the color of the trees that are common in my neighborhood.
Mostly consisting of yellow, orange, and sometimes a startling red. The fox fire represents the sunlight peering through the trees, making their leaves glow with old life.
The petal making and wreath symbolize the life that can still grow when everything else is so close to death.
(Also there's a tree in my yard that blooms in October/November for some reason)

This Ryori is based on my favorite dessert for Thanksgiving, Pumpkin Pie :)

The genes displayed are: G1 (EE) Water Tiger, G3 (DD) Star Runes, and M1 (GG) Glimmering Jewels.

this design is based on roses my grandmother loved to photograph, it is in memory of my grandmother i find it fitting because they were red and black and always stayed around halloween time

For me Autumn/Fall is always about horse chestnuts. The young me collecting and stringing conkers to win battles against friends. The older me being struck by the rich, vibrant colours that showcase the beauty of Autumn. I might still collect conkers.

My design is based on fall time when the leaves are changing colors from green to their fall colors. The skeleton is for day of the dead and the colors are the leaves changing.

The Black Cat


My inspiration was a ghostly black cat. It's a fleeting shadow in the night, that appears to lost travelers only to lead them further into the darkness.

I found it very hard to choose three traits for some reason. But I feel like this best represents my inspiration, so here goes.

My idea of fall is the melancholy feeling, when nights grow longer, days get colder and the wind starts biting.. replacing the warmth of summer with bitter cold. The trees are nearly bare now, and the wind is terrible, and I miss the summer, but it's also kinda poetic that all has to grow dark and cold until the bursting new life of spring. <3 I explained that rather poorly, but I hope you get the gist of it. Heh.

Ghostly Trickster


I wanted to do something reminiscent of a will-o-wisp, a mythical creature I've always associated with Fall. Because I also associate will-o-wisps with tricksters, because of the way they lure travelers with false pretenses, I went with a purple and black color scheme, my trickster colors.
(Note: I did no research on will-o-wisps, so my statements may be faulty. ^^ This is just how I think of them.)

My inspiration if the colors of the leaves and when the loose ones blow in the wind. It's been very windy where I live and all I see are leaves blowing everywhere. I included wings on mine so it can make its own wind.
