Wan, The Guardian of Knowledge
Wan is a spirit of the forest, his mission is to gather, spread and protect knowledge. Everything he learns gets documented and stored in a sacred library to which only he has the key. Part of this information gets spread in the form of a dense mist by his scepter, that works as a censer, so it can be absorbed by other beings.
Huge thanks to Gabriel Rubio for the help during the mentorship I took, and everyone else that gave me feedback on this one. Hope you like it, and have a nice day! :)

Thumbnails, tried to explore action scenes, calm moments and one showing his library. I really liked F, but the mood was too menacing, ended up choosing C
Lines, changed some minor things later in the process
