W.I.T.C.H - Murmurer/Whisperer Baby by katerinaaqu on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Continuation from:

So after a little while of maturing inside the flower, the baby Whisperer slowly emerges to the form of Murmurer! another thingy for our collaboration with Arts-Of-Metamoor

Murmurers are Sprite-like creatures that reside within their flower till their full maturation that is till their body grows and slowly changes color. The flower beneath them slowly withers and the Whisperer emerges at the garden to unite with the vegetation or the ground.

At this stage, the Murmurer doesn't yet bear the form and the voice of their creator. Their bodies are almost "liquid" and their basic shape is that of a sex-less sprite with protrusions from its head that are somehow the "umblical cord" that feeds them via their flower while in fetus state. Each Murmurer has two of such umblical cords. After they come out as Murmurers they feed via their feet that remain connected to the flower, sucking nutrients from the ground.

At this infant state the Murmurers can still be of use to their master as a form of alarm. At this stage all Murmurers have a hive-like mind because of their roots being connected. Therefore if something occurs they immediately begin to whisper to one another and the whispers reach to the person who made them. Murmurers are extremely sensitive and if their flower is cut off or uprooted they die. If they are at a semi-mature state they develop another power of "emergency restart". If they pass infantry and their life maturation circle is cut off violently, they revert to their flower stage.

Basically the Murmurers appear only in the animated series and they only play the role of the "alarm". They immediately alert Phobos when an intruder enters the gardens. They never reveal their master's secrets. Caleb once tries to persuade them to speak and reveal Phobos's plans on Elyon but they refuse to talk and they cower away in their flowers when Caleb threatens them

In the series they grow everywhere, apparently even to Phobos's cave where he takes his bath.

I tried to combine some of the comic lore to the animated series because I was in love with these sprites and I wanted them to have a similar role because this eery aura they have was both cute and disturbing. I kept the bluish color of the comics.

Basically to make this baby I used online tutorials and some of the polymer clay I had. Unfortunately the metal compatrment that I used to put the head on the body is visible.

I photographed it with my phone on my hand for scale!

Very basic design I know. Maybe if I become better I will remake it or if I paint it in the future I will post an update.
