I wanted to please myself and the wonderful Plague (https://www.tumblr.com/i-plague-eater) with art based on our role-playing game :3

Kane (Phobos) is a character from her AU for "W.i.t.c.h". Elyon is from my AU (she has a softer and more naive character than the canon princess).

This scene is from the very beginning of the plot. Elyon is depressed that she trusted the wrong person (Nerissa), and considered the one who valued her, on the contrary, a traitor. Kane is simply enjoying a short respite after accidentally getting into someone else's timeline (and also gets local plants drunk).

A little further on, the battle rages. He was asked to look after the princess, who lost her magic, since he still does not want to fight :D

After a long break all this was drawn for about two weeks. And I'm still not completely satisfied with the result. But you need to be able to stop yourself from a series of endless edits :D

I'm big fan of her "scared cat" expression %)

(Part 2 of 2) Part 1: https://www.tumblr.com/rinfarts/729142888478457856/i-answer-on-behalf-of-prince-phobos-in-witch

Q: Phobos, do you remember when your magic first manifested itself? Tell us Q: So what actually happened to your parents?

Answer: 1) After acquiring magical powers, I had to study for a long time. 2) In fact, the first burst of magic is almost impossible to control. It’s even surprising that the sister, with her huge reserve of mana... 3) managed not to create 4) some kind of disaster

P.S. Parents are alive. Elyon's magic only turned them into stone and teleported them to the ice caves of Torus Hilm. Monarchs can be de-enchanted. But to do this, you need to find the statue and understand what exactly caused the transformation.

Attempts to locate Weira and Zeiden as missing persons, living or dead, lead nowhere. Search spells and potions malfunction, producing unintelligible answers. The Stone of Threbe, alas, was found at the moment when the prince had no time for his parents.

In the series and comics there is no direct answer to what happened to them. So this is just my headcanon.

As you know, 2024 will be the Year of the Dragon according to the eastern horoscope. This beast is noble and powerful, inspiring awe. Blank doesn’t particularly inspire anything other than a good mood, but, as Taranee would say: “there are also small dragons.”

(English is not my native language, so there may be mistakes. Please be understanding)

This costume and the image itself are taken from a series with the play (“Ambush at Torus Filne”). In it we learn about how the crystal appeared, giving the guards strength. The legend of compassionate dragons who relieved people from drought overlaps markedly with another legend. From Earth.

"The Jade Emperor Yu-di organized a race among the animals to determine the order of the zodiac signs. Such a powerful and energetic beast as the Dragon had every chance of becoming the first. But when he was close to the finish line, he saw a village that was suffering from drought. He flew over clouds and caused rain to help starving people.

The dragon continued on his way, but saw another village - it was threatened by flooding. He took pity on the residents, swallowed the water and only then continued on his way.

Just before the finish line, the Dragon saw that the Rabbit was being chased by the Wolf. To save the Rabbit, the Dragon let him go ahead. And so it happened that the strong and powerful creature finished fifth in the race, after the Rat, Ox, Tiger and Rabbit."

In the "W.I.T.C.H" version, four dragons representing the elements were imprisoned in the mountains because they dared to help people without asking permission from their Emperor. It turns out that in both legends the Dragon suffered from his own kindness?

This is partly true. And in fact, this is not the worst moral, although at first glance it does not seem so. By helping someone, you may actually miss an opportunity or get into trouble. No matter how much we wish that life would encourage noble deeds more.

But altruism should not be idealized. There's nothing wrong with being aware of the risks. Belief in a “just world”, where everyone is rewarded according to their actions, very often leads to disappointment and the thought “if something bad happened to me, I probably wasn’t good enough.” And to devaluing other people's troubles.

There is no kind of universal justice in the world and no clearly working karmic slaps on the head. However, there are other people, good and not so good. What you do may resonate with them. For example, a good deed performed in spite of any difficulties. And then real magic can happen, accessible even beyond the boundaries of legends.

I sincerely wish you to find a common language with yourself, to love yourself (within adequate limits). Find a solid foundation of confidence under your feet. And then no difficulties in life will become insurmountable for you.

If after this you find the strength and time to support other people, to inspire them with your example is wonderful. If not, this will not make you a bad person. Healthy selfishness is a wonderful thing. And good deeds should not be forced. __________________________

In addition to references to the symbol of the year, the art contains intersections with a recent answer in the ask. Anyone who read the accompanying post knows.

Caleb, one might say, is preparing a festive buffet. But the bull doesn't really want to be the main dish :D

I have long been attracted to garlands with dried orange slices. They are so warm and cozy. I wanted to add them to at least one of the New Year's arts :3

This idea later developed into the concept of natural Christmas tree decorations. Still, the Middle Ages reign on Meridian. It is unlikely that there is such an abundance of plastic toys there as we have now (the main thing is not to wonder whether there are citrus fruits in this fictional world).

But I still added a garland and balloons, I couldn’t resist. Maybe the girls brought it from Earth (making sure that everything would run on batteries) :D

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Stages of working on a drawing:

[rinfarts]

Q: The character is preparing Christmas cookies + Meridians, lift the veil of secrecy: do you celebrate the New Year? Maybe you have some special winter traditions?

The prince celebrated the last major holiday (Halloween) in prison. But for the New Year, Queen Elyon decided to give her brother a chance to reform. And taking all precautions, she moved him to Earth to introduce him to local traditions.

Not that Prince Phobos was thrilled. However, he liked it even less behind bars. So far everything is going relatively peacefully, but the difference in worldview makes itself felt :D

P.S. According to Caleb, the Meridians hold a similar holiday not in the middle, but at the end of winter - on the last day of the season. And they actually roast a bull (information taken from the episode "Happy Birthday, Will").

Of course, this may be an analogue of Maslenitsa, and not New Year. Here we can only guess. The timing is not an exact guide.

For comparison, in ancient Russia the New Year was first celebrated as on Meridian (late February-early March). At this moment, the earth began to awaken and the Sun began to gain strength. After the baptism, the celebration was moved to September 1st. And already under Peter I the New Year moved to the familiar January 1st.

About the festive sacrifice is already my headcanon. But it fits quite harmoniously into the realities of dark fantasy. In a world where there is magic and dangerous monsters, you will once again wonder whether some ritual is really a beautiful tradition/superstition, and not a guarantor of safety.

And the Meridians really like it (especially if the sacrifice can then be fried and eaten during the celebration) :D

Happy New Year!  (text may not be entirely accurate due to translation difficulties)

Gift for the wonderful Fia Mandzia (Reizeri Salanenog)

New Year's card with characters from her comic "Homecoming".

The comic tells a story that happened after the events of the animated series "W.I.T.C.H." The released chapters can be found here: https://tapas.io/series/HOMECOMING-

I think you will recognize Miranda and Cedric anyway. But it’s worth introducing everyone to their daughter. Her name is Amanda and she is a miracle. Cheerful, charming, a little awkward and in search of herself, like a true teenager.

I drew her a little younger, at a time when she, I think, had more understanding with her parents. And pleasant moments of togetherness. Like here, when the meridians, trying to settle down on Earth, decorate the Christmas tree :D

I hope I managed to capture Fia's style so that I could draw HER Miranda and Cedric. They are damn charming and recognizable. Probably, the pages dedicated to their family are the most touching and funniest in the entire story for me.

Happy winter holidays, Fia! May you have as much free time, energy, and cool ideas as possible in the coming year. Thank you for making us happy with your creativity :3

I really wanted to portray the elderly Yan Lin in transformation. Remember that phrase from Phobos: “Guards, Cedric? Dilapidated ruins!” But the heart chose a new team of girls only at the beginning of the events of the animated series. Has none of the worlds ever needed help before?

Of course, Yan Lin is not as mobile as in her youth. Even from her wings it is noticeable that the keeper no longer resorts to flying as often as she would like. But she has a wealth of battle experience, the power of the elements and small tricks on her side. For example, a wind catcher attached to a staff.

This talisman is also called wind music. Because when air currents pass through it, the parts of the amulet come into contact, creating a melodic chime. It is believed that it transforms negative energy into positive energy. The sound vibrations of the amulet revive the Chi energy and help it move. Isn't it an ideal weapon for a guardian of the air?
