Mood/aesthetics board but it's hand drawn. This is old, and I could redo it, but I do still like this how it is, so!

Symbolism:

• His sword, hopefully it's obvious why that's there.
• Flag, meant to be reminiscent of a battlefield standard/banner.
• Alder leaf and cone. (the leaf is actually the wrong shape but oh well) (his last name is Alderwood)
• The dripping circle is the Darksign, a well-known concept in Dark Souls, and the thing that marks Cayden as undead/cursed.
• Fire. Just in general. All the time. Constantly.
• Thread and a sewing needle. (was his main hobby in his off-time)
• Bird/phoenix feathers. (again, this might be obvious if you look at my gallery)
• A rose, specifically meant to echo the white rose commonly seen in representations of The Fool tarot card. (a card I heavily associate with him)
• General colour palette.

The two lines of hand-written text are from the first line of the first song in his playlist, and the last line in the last song. The songs are:

I Have Made Mistakes by The Oh Hellos
Six by Sleeping At Last
