With this one, the colors, the pose, level of detail and the form itself were pretty hard to get right... But I'm mostly satisfied with where I landed!

There is one other from Bynine Bestiary incoming, and then some from Penko Park...

Background

Morgan le Fay is shrouded in mystery. A chief among her nine queen sisters, including herself. The nine of them ruled the Isle of Apples (Avalon) which men call “The Fortunate isle” together with a pleasing set of laws. Though, they were queen sisters they were not related to each other by blood, but by a common bond in their love for their home of Avalon. Her sisters were Morone, Mazoe, Gliten, Glitonea, Cliton, Tyronoe, Thitis, and Morgause. A healer and a leader the mystical isle of apples is alive and fertile under her reign. The land producing food in abundance in grain, grapes, and apple trees among them.

Morgan is the first among her sisters to most skilled in the healing arts as well as the beauty in her person. Having learned the useful properties of all herbs and what they contain. She has done so she can cure the bodies of the sick. Due to her lineage, Morgan knows and uses magic, she does not use it to harm, but to heal. She knows the art of shape shifting favoring the shape of a raven/crow over many others.  A form she took on to observe those outside of Avalon.

There were times while in the form of a raven/crow she would test others, putting obstacles in their path for them to overcome. Some of succeeded while others have failed.

She was there when the knights had brought a mortally wounded King Arthur to Avalon. It was a testament to her healing prowess they had brought him to her than to any physicians across Europe. The king was received gently as he was laid upon a golden bed. She reassured the knights that she would be able to heal their wounded king. A reassurance without trickery that proved she genuinely cared about the wounded king. From here her tale ends with little to tell about her.

Notes

Her linage continues to remain a mystery even in modern times. Her mother, is one most have connected to her, is the Celtic Tri-Face Goddess Morrigan.  From whom she had received her magic and shape shifting gift from. Thus many commonly mistaken her for Morrigan, her mother, when she isn’t. The father on the other hand is shrouded in mystery. ( headcanon )

Well rounded and educated, Morgen had learned mathematics and astrology. After learning these she taught her fellow sisters. She is constructive, as she shared her knowledge with her sisters instead of hoarding and using for selfish purposes. Which is something later Morgans have been proven to do.

In the Middle Ages, in literature, physical beauty was a sign of goodness, and ugliness or deformity was a sign of evil. This being said her beauty did excel those of her sisters and her actions have proven her goodness.

Morgan le Fay is his healer in Geoffrey of Monmonth’s Vita Merlini, Historia Regum Brianniae, and King Arthur’s Enchantresses: Morgan and Her Sisters in Arthurian Tradition. In these Arthur’s sister is Anna whether or not she was a predecessor to Morgan le Fay is questionable.

She has a certain distaste for Merlin that cannot be easily described. Something about the wizard never sat right with her often becoming snarky and sometimes sarcastic when around him or his name is mentioned.

Morgan le Fay has lived at least one other life aside from this. In another time she was a man and still a healer to King Arthur. Her, well, his methods were a bit uncleared as were his motives.

The daughter of Morrigan did have children during her life (specifically daughters), but none were Mordred.

Under very different circumstances can Morgan le Fay be summoned as a Caster.

More Forward characters.

First pic:

Adio is a Painted Alligator from Flower, a district of the Althar Provinces known for farming and fishing most of Owel's food supply. He is an archaeology student and is very, very serious to the point that no one has ever actually seen him smile. He is entirely dedicated to his chosen profession and takes his studies very seriously, which irritates some of the lazier members of the study group, especially since he isn't shy about letting them know how irresponsible he finds them.

Species: Painted Alligator Pronoun: he/him Birthday: Oxoth 27 Astrological Sign: Delphinus Affinity: Sand (Inherited from his father.) Languages: Altharian, Sphinx, Common (Altharian is his native language, Sphinx is a language most Painted Alligators know instinctively and Common is the language of Owel.) Age: 17 Place of Origin: Flower, Althar Current Location: Mew York (Adio lives in Foxfire, a Mew York district that is basically Althar without the extreme heat. He's never been outside Althar before, so Foxfire suits him very nicely.) Quirks: No sense of humour. Design Notes: Adio is a Yoruba name meaning 'be righteous'. Adio's markings resemble a very stylised hourglass, referring to his profession's association with time and also to his Sand affinity. His clothes are typical of what Painted Alligators wear and are also a reference to Ancient Egyptian garments that were sometimes covered in colourful beads.

Second pic:

Harly is a Blood Drop medical student. She pretty much communicates entirely in terrible jokes and because of this, no one really knows anything about her. To be honest, she doesn't know anything about herself either. Her transformation into a Drop has left her with absolutely no memory of her previous life. All she knows now is her name, that she wanted to be a doctor and that she loved jokes and that's it. She is likeable, but the nastier members of the study group think she's creepy and weird. Not that she really minds, because they make good comic foils. Species: Blood Drop (formerly Clown Fly) (She doesn't remember what species she used to be, but the University has it on record.) Pronoun: she/her Birthday: Monmonth 19 Astrological Sign: Chamaeleo Affinity: Plasma (Where this affinity comes from, she couldn't say.) Languages: Common (If she knows any other languages, she couldn't remember them.) Age: ??? Place of Origin: ??? Current Location: Mew York (She lives in Beheaded City, home of the Hanged Men and hotspot for medical practitioners.) Quirks: Everything that she says is some kind of joke. Design Notes: Harly's name is a variation of the English name Harley, chosen for it's resemblance to laughter and the word 'harlequin'. Harly's appearance is based on blood, her hair looks like white blood cells, her eyes are shaped like red blood cells and there veins running throughout her body. Harly's wings in her old form are based on dragonfly wings. Pencil on paper

Day 3 for MonMonth!

Apparently this little buddy is gotten if the tamagotchi isn't taken very well care of, which makes sense why I got him when I was in first grade or so.

MonMonth Day 29 — Yo-Kai Watch

I’m fond of this one because seeing it made me realize i could probably make a whole team of exclusively bug yokai, if i wanted to.

[wisteriark]

And another three-day speedrun

#MonMonth Day 21 - Paolumu (Monster Hunter Stories)

Sorry, Skannerz, Not sorry. Your designs are atrocious and your reference is nonexistent. Sometimes one just feels like drawing a ridiculously adorable fluffy cloud with teeth instead.
