ALL OF DAPHNE'S TRANSFORMATIONS. INCLUDING UPDATED NYMPHIX.

Previously Fairy of the Dragon Flame now Fairy of Embers. She doesn't have any transformations others than these because she was fast tracked into the nymphix path, and unlike the winx the majority of fairies don't pursue additional transformations past enchantix. (i think Daphne would be interested in Dreamix tho, so maybe I'll draw that eventually.

Her major color shifted after dying and being revived, which is shown in her winx and enchantix.

other lore and design notes below!

I changed her major color from orange/yellow to more of a teal/green because. she just doesn't look good in yellow I'm sorry I really tried but it wasn't working. Also little updates to her hair color, nothing huge tho. Daphne's primary motifs are a branching "Y" shape and a double oval/tear drop. She's a pants when possible girlie and a one set winger(yes her nymphix looks like it have multiple wings but they all merge into one stem on each side) . Her scars from her Sirenix being ripped out of her caused her winx/enchantix to change a little to cover them(mostly seen in the arms) due to insecurity. Her Dryadix/nymphix flower is a daffodil! because pun Daph-Daff, and Daffodils symbolize rebirth and new beginnings (also creativity, energy, resilience, forgiveness and vitality). Her Harpix wings aren't super specificly patterned, but she has darting wings common in small song and seed birds (robins, finches, brown birds etc.) the coloring is referential of a Shrike (also called a Butcher Bird), because Daphne was. incredibly dangerous and if she had sided with the ancestral probably would have been given a moniker similar to Butcher of Domino or Daphne the Slaughterer. (some people do call her these but its mostly among people who dislike Domino/The Royal Family.)

Lore! Daphne doesn't have a great sense of self, she was planned as a necessary successor to Marion/the dragon flame in a period as the ancestral witches were escalating their attacks and search for the dragon flame. Bloom was a back up baby in case both Daphne and Marion got dead and basically worked as intended haha. Daphne was also much more publicly involved in the kingdom than many of the other royals in winx (Stella, Aisha, Krystal and even Galatea to an extent all had rather sheltered upbringings) in a way Daphne is much more like Sky and Thoren in the since that none of them really had the space to develop their own personality outside of their familial duty.

Daphne's 1st winx and enchantixes are as direct a copy of her mom's Enchantix as you can get with transformations, right down to the more greenish tint of her major color. Growing up Marion used her fairy form liberally, so that, combined with being the next Dragon Flame holder left a deep impact on Daphne's subconscious. Daphne was also heavily influenced by Faragonda during her Alfea and Nymphix Quest years, but since she was older this isn't as deep an influence. After being revived, Daphne's years of defining herself as her connection to Bloom causes her major color to shift more blue in response to her trauma. Daphne is slowly starting to develop a sense of self outside of her titles/connections but it's unlikely her major color will shift again unless she has another major trauma.

(for the record the Winx do have trauma over the timeline I have laid out that would potentially cause their major colors to shift but I didn't do that for a couple reasons 1, their colors are iconic and make them easily recognizable as characters; 2, I'm a tired bitch. )

wait you're going re-do daphne?

yeahhh i feel like her original design is in the same vein as the original winx ones i did and just doesnt quite hit the level i'd like it to

i wanna make her civilian form more princessy (since she activitely was the crown princess while she was alive) and even her fairy form feels like it could use an upgrade, and i just really wanna draw her as a nymph again even tho i actually like that design tbh

she just has so many outfit options to begin with AND she regains corporeal form for a bit so its like, MORE OPTIONS. OTL

I have to choose just a few since she already did get a video, tho maybe i can give her a modern look as a bonus to thoren's redesign? he'll show up eventually

[snarky-art]

Made Nymphix forms for the girlies for funsies to try and get me out of a creative artblock

I don’t feel like they’d set off aiming for Nymphix, but after getting harmonix and sirenix and starting the whole process + constantly having to save the magical world, they’d be like “fuck it we might as well we’re already 2/5 of the way there”

I hope the quality stays ok and tumblr doesn’t obliterate it🥲

[lunar-draws]

Daphne, Nymph of Sparx

Because Tumblr deleted everything and I don’t want to rewrite it, tldr:

So I’ve redone most of my Daphne lore. She is Bloom’s older sister again, but I will detail all of that in another post.

She became Nymph of the Dragon’s Flame and Nymph of Sparx at 32, but before gaining the flame, she was the Fairy of Divination(thank you @drops-of-moonlights for helping with her title). She has a water and dream source, which she reverts to after giving Bloom the flame. This is part of why she was able to communicate with Bloom through dreams.

[charmixpower]

Taylor was asking me to draw my interpretation of Daphne, so I finally sat down and made an outfit I was happy with bc lord knows I've been struggling with her crown, mask, and wings combo, and I'm finally happy with her!

In my verse people's magic has a specific color, and Daphne's is blue, so I made a blue "ghost" Daphne, alongside how Daphne appears to Bloom

Here's yellow-ne for comparison, and for Talyor specifically

Taylor gets blonde Daphne, I get to not put Daphne in yellow. That's how this works

It makes her hair look like it's a part of her outfit, which really diminishes the impact of her mask especially

Yellow ghost-ne looks like a gold statue, which is pretty cool

Also yes my version of Daphne is still a witch I just can't draw wings well 😓 (in Nymphix faries lose wings and witches gain them)

[nymphixdevelopmentarchive]

Winona the Witch of Enchanted Steel and Diaspro the Fairy of Gemstones have arrived!

After Diaspro's plot to once again try to kill Bloom failed (again), Diaspro decided that enough is enough and let go of her obssession with Sky and to return home to her kingdom of Amethia. Soon after arriving she learns that her antics have made her fall out of favor in court, causing her to loose her right to the throne. Angered and determined to get back her birthright, Diaspro asks for the aid of her bodyguard and now lady in waiting, Winona. The witch didn't want to at first, as she'd rather not deal with Diaspro's unwanted reputation but after a year of hard work and positive political stunts, Winona feels proud of working for her lady. Soon, the two develop a strong, yet secret, relationship after a night in Eraclyon turned steamy.

[existentialcrisis-24-7]

Theoretically, in my rewrite, if Daphne were to have properly died Bloom could’ve gained Nymphix even if it wouldn’t have been worth a whole lot in her case

🧿 Runaan's presence of his fear🩸

Runaan was trapped inside the coin by Viren. Perhaps he can only survived all alone in the deep Realm, about Tiadrin & Lain are still together trapped inside it. He needs to find his friends & he has achieve his new strength. 🙌

First, he was offer the Moon Fruit for healing then he ate it but he became something very curse. Second, Runaan found the mask on the floor while he wearing it & saw the Moon Nymphix (The female nymphs are guardians of the moon + protector of Luna Tenebris & Xadia). They are suggesting him to find each solve the mystery & puzzles for knowing the truth. They gave the cloak to Runaan as he wears it for protection. ❣️

He goes alone since he will do this. He went inside the dark cave. He felt the presence that someone follows him. Runaan have completely deep fear if he looked around, it was the female entity found him. He needs to stop hearing her voice through his ears as he should continue walking without looked someone ☺️🧿

Bonus:

I'll post my arts on November. I wish The Dragon Prince Season 7 in teaser & trailer will update 😁❣️🐉

Happy Halloween! 🎃👻🩸

TRANSFORMATIONS

Depending on their magical path, fairies and witches can access various Transformations, a signature appearance applied to the user that boosts physical and magical power.

A fairy transformation will have wings that allow her to fly, learning to utilize one's wings is another important part of fairy education. Later, she will gain access to ‘Fairy Dust’, a special powder produced by her core that absorbs external magic as if a Witch, which a fairy can then command with a spell, she can only produce a limited amount of this per transformation.

A witch transformation will have markings around the eye, allowing her to use her senses to ‘scan’ for magical energies around her, like a radar. This can even let her detect spells she wouldn't otherwise be aware of or otherwise have time to process.

Later, she will gain access to a ‘Witch Amulet’ that lets her absorb external magic to temporarily strengthen her Core, allowing her to use it to cast spells directly, like a Fairy.

Witches can learn to fly and Fairies can learn to magic-scan, their innate skills always come more naturally and develop quicker than the opposite, so most stick with what they've got.

What’s more, is that Witches and Fairies both have countless transformations they can gain through various means. These typically ascend in power, the next more powerful than the last, yet others may be useful for allowing the Fairy or Witch to access powers she wouldn't usually have, rather than brute force.

For Fairies, the most known transformations are:

Magic Winx: The first transformation unlocked after learning the basics of harnessing Core magic, which all other transformations build off.

Charmix: The second transformation, unlocked after overcoming a personal struggle that allows for a deeper attunement to one's Core, letting the Fairy know and define themselves better.This builds on Winx’s more basic outfits, giving the wings and outfit more detail, as well as a bag containing Fairy Dust.

Enchantix: The third and last of the basic transformations, giving an entirely new outfit that defines them as a true fairy. This is unlocked for making a big sacrifice towards one's development as a Fairy and their Core, both the practical impact and how much of a sacrifice the Fairy feels it is both play a factor.Their Fairy Dust is now tied to their wings, which they can now scatter through them.

Nymphix: A famous transformation that can only be achieved through a long, gruelling quest. This is the most powerful fairy transformation known, and is not taken lightly in an attempt to achieve.A Nymph - as Nymphix Fairies are titled - has an ornate outfit and ‘wings’ that take the form of a halo, allowing flight nonetheless. They have an important role in any Fairy society, formulating laws around Fairy magic, developing new transformations and being the peerless representatives of all Fairykind

WINX MAGIC LORE BABEY

BASICS.

In the Magix universe, it's a rule of thumb that all types of magic come from the leftover energy of the Great Dragon, the being that created this universe before it fell into a deep rest.

While the essence of this dragon is often shown as a bright flame, its 'Flame' can take on many different forms. For example, Bloom's magic is mainly linked to fire, while Daphne's magic is more connected to mysticism, divinity, and the soul's essence, which is partly why she could return as a spirit to guide her younger sister.

Additionally, each person's experience with magic is distinct, shaping the specific 'theme' of magic they connect with the most. For instance, Musa's strong bond with music allows her to see magic through that artistic perspective, treating it like something to be composed and expressed, like to a song.

This connection gives her a special talent for musical magic. Aisha also interprets magic in her own way, viewing it as a fluid, ever-changing force like water, while Tecna approaches it as if it were a complex computer system. However, there are also groups of magic users who come together based on the specific ways they channel their magic and where it comes from…

WITCH, FAIRY, LIGHT AND DARK? THE FEMININE PATHS OF MAGIC.

In the realm of traditionally feminine magical paths, a Fairy taps into her own inner magic that comes from her metaphysical Core, while a Witch draws from the magic around her, using her Core to twist it into the spells she desires. Anyone with magical abilities can become either a Fairy or a Witch, but the main difference lies in their approach to learning. Fairies need to concentrate on their inner selves and understand what magic means to them personally in order to truly excel. Techniques like meditation, psychological exploration of the self and spiritual growth are important for developing their Core. On the other hand, Witches focus outward with an analytical mindset.

They carefully observe how their magic manifests, what influences it, and the best external sources to draw from, along with the methods to do so. Studying non-magical subjects linked to their theme, like botany for those who specialize in plant magic, is incredibly beneficial.Another distinction, though not always the case, is the type of emotions they use to tap into their magical abilities.

Fairies generally rely on the ‘Light’ positive emotions that help them move toward a goal, such as joy, trust, anticipation, and even anger. In contrast, witches often draw on negative 'dark' emotions that push them away from something, like fear, surprise, sadness, and disgust.

This common distinction could be explained as a Witch’s magic source being separate from her, so negative emotions, focused on receding, mirror this. A fairy has a very close magic source that is part of her metaphysical body, so this is mirrored by the approaching positive emotions. Negative emotions using Fairies are called Dark Fairies, vice versa are termed Light Witches.

Hey yall im not dead!

COSMIX!!! I've officially redesigned all the transformations in the Winx Club TV series hell yeah

Lore and Design notes below

So Cosmix is a rather defunct transformation in the modern era. It used to be used heavily in the age of space exploration but since teleportation and hyper speed ships became common place, the Magix dimension prefers to use those. Essentially, in order to set up a teleportation center, the caster/s need to have been to both the origin point and the target point. Witches and Mages were the primary people responsible for setting up the teleportation system, but in order to achieve the spells requirements, they would require help from a Cosmix fairy. The primary function of Cosmix is the ability to fly through space with out detrimental effects. Cosmix fairies can take 1, maybe 2, people with them while they fly in a shooting star esc trail function. Cosmix is not great for fighting unless the foe is darkness/light based. Defense is strong against cold, pressure, and friction, but not most other kinds of damage.

Cosmix is also theorized to be the Magix Dimension's version of the elementix. So like Sirenix is the transformation that grants access to the Infinite ocean, Cosmix is the one that would grant access to the Magix Dimension if fairies were in the other realms. Because humans already belong to the Magix Dimension, and the transformation isn't required to earn Nymphix, it isn't considered a true Elementix. Some fairies (mostly Solarians) do experience biological changes when using the transformation, seen here in Stella, but it's not super common. The hair takes on the magic color and drifts into nebulous star dust and galaxy clusters. Solarians are located closest to Lumenia, a tightly clustered star formation, and frequent attract Lumens due to Solaria's binary star system. They have formed fast friendships with the Lumens and many Solarians carry a Lumen's Blessing (it's similar to the elemental companions' bonds in the elementix) in their bloodline which contributes to the biological changes when using Cosmix.

I'm still hammering out how seaosn 8 works plot wise but I'll add it to my show changes masterlist eventually.

Design! The initial concept was "man i wanna draw some chunky ass boots" and i kinda ran with the cyber punk look from there. I was also adamant that Cosmix is a pants transformation, both out of practicality and spite because they made everyone so hyper feminine in season 8. I referenced the actual cosmix designs and their "space travel" oufits for the general shapes for these, but obviously there aren't a ton of similarities since I went in such a different direction haha. Also my first time drawing Aisha with twists! I almost gave her a fro cus it would mimic an astronaut's helmet (and lowkey a nod to Garnet from steven universe) but i like how the twists came out haha

Cosmix includes! Hair up and out of the way, a mesh base layer with light veins and stars, a body suit or shorts and top, a padded armor torso piece with some tubing ports, so many buckles and straps, a clear plastic portion(usually part of the torso peice, sleeves, or around the waist/hips), wrist/arm guards, and chunky chunky boots. The wings are also larger than most transformations (rivaling Butterflix/Faunix) and trail more of the fairy's magic color than usual. Simple geometric designs are standard.

[ghostsprobably]

I LOVED THESE NEW DESIGNS SO MUCHHHHH, my particular fav is Flora 🌸

The fairies have other transformations beside Winx,Charmix and Enchantix?

The next video will be MH or the part 2?

ahhh thank you!!!

flora seems to be the fan favorite which surprised me but makes me so happy

for my rewrite those are the only three forms (well also nymphix but its not really something thats realistically accomplishable for most fairies)

any other fairy forms i end up doing will be non canon!

as for the next video im not sure if part 2 or clawd and drac, might do a poll lol

[snarky-art]

Thriving vs Survivng, am I right, lads?

Bloom and Stella eventually get married, Daphne and the woman with her, Nadia, an oc I made and have mentioned a few times, get married with Daphne to be next in line as Queen of Domino, and Aisha and Musa get married one day, but are currently in this pic going through some Shit that’s putting a huge damper on that.

More info on everyone and political drama stuff below the cut!

Bloom and Stella are thriving.

Polyamory is super duper normalized in a decent amount of places, and is considered a norm on Solaria. Stella is eventually married both to Brandon and Bloom. Both of Bloom’s sets of parents love Stella and are incredibly happy for her. After much talk and deliberation between Daphne, Bloom, Marion, and Oritel to see how Bloom and Daphne are feeling after Daphne is healed up and in a good place and has processed shit, it’s decided Daphne will continue as heir and shall be next in line for rulership. Bloom meanwhile shall continue her role as guardian fairy, Holder of The Flame, and eventually upon her marriage to Stella will be Queen Consort of Solaria. She has a lot more flexibility this way too to go where she feels most comfortable, between Earth and other areas in The Magical Realm. Oritel and Marion don’t want Bloom or Daphne to feel trapped or be stifled with immense pressure if they can help it, and Bloom is still most comfortable on Earth, so having the option to go back and forth is important and something Marion and Oritel want her to not feel cut off from it, a mistake they made early on when they first got brought back from their stasis.

Formal picture of Nadia finally! An oc from Earth I made who’s Daphne’s gf and eventual wife. I thought it would be nice for Daphne to not worry about contextualizing her grief and trauma with someone who already had preconceived notions of her from myths and legends over the last 1000+ years.

Nadia: so you’re Bloom’s sister! That’s so cool! Do you have magic too?

Daphne, who at this point while not the holder of the flame anymore is still an incredibly powerful fire elemental who retains her nymphix and could hand bloom’s ass to her and call upon The Dragon at will whenever she wants: uh, yeah, some I guess.

Bloom: glad to see being a useless lesbian is a universal trait instead of just earth specific

Daphne: exCUSE ME-

Royal balls be like “The Incarnation of God Itself, heir to The Great Pillar of all of Magic Domino, The Dragon Reborn, Supreme Nymph of Magix, Princess Daphne, and Nadia, Barista on Tuesday, Thursday, and Weekends, of the planet Earth”

Like, oh boy, THEE DAPHNE, and Nadia from Starbucks.

Also don’t worry it’s not actually a Starbucks. It’s a small local cafe and bakery spot that Bloom really likes. Daphne went with her once, saw Nadia, and went 👀. Daphne doesn’t even like coffee also she just goes there for Nadia and was too anxious to ask about any other drinks so she just gets what Bloom got, would makes Bloom, who is not at all rich on Earth, pay for it, and then didn’t actually drink it.

Also, Nadia is definitely wearing heels here.

She’s only around 5’9 or ~175cm, while as I’ve mentioned before, Daphne is 6’7 or ~200cm.

She like to wear different heels and go “ok NOW how close am I to being taller than you” or sometimes go “ok, I think I beat you this time” when she tries on a new pair

She’s never close obviously and they both know that because hehe funny joke, but Daphne will still go “oh, you just might’ve this time.”

Musa and Aisha meanwhile are Struggling. Not only is Musa someone who is already insanely anti-monarch in her governmental views, even one that operates more as a democracy, the government she’s working with can’t stand her.

I’ve mentioned in these posts how marriage works on Andros, and Musa is Not It. She’s not even a Land Androsian, which would’ve been considered a bit of a scandal because of how their government structure is set up. No it’s much worse, for oh no, she’s not an Androsian at all! Truly horrific (I say this sarcastically, but that’s genuinely what the nobles and a chunk of the population feel).

Musa is doing what she can to appease Androsian court.

Gold is a big fucking no no on Andros, but she doesn’t want to give that up since it’s a really important part of her culture.

Aisha is standing with her on that, but it doesn’t make it easier to deal with the assholes in court.

She’s even muted her reds to lean more towards purples and blues.

Muting the reds was a huge olive branch of sorts and she’s pissed about it and doesn’t like doing it (but she did it, and it wasn’t even appreciated, but WHATEVER), but she refuses to get rid of the golds (good for her).

Aisha has gold nail polish here also. She’s doing what she can, and eventually is just gonna say fuck it and start wearing straight up gold with her silvers and tell Musa to get back in the bright red or so help me-

Stella let’s Aisha borrow her stash specifically when she first start and immediately commissions some custom ones done for Aisha’s measurements.

[lunar-draws]

Some current Winx redesign WIPs! I haven’t done anything with Daphne or Politea since February last year and have redone Daphne’s lore, so both are getting new designs! Harmonix is being worked on and I’m debating on if I like what I have!

[charmixpower]

Because I'm alive now I thought I'd doodle Icy's final form in my 'verse. It's literally called Devil btw, so Icy here is The Devil of Power

It wasn't worth it

But. Well. It's too late now

There no going back

[nymphixdevelopmentarchive]

✨Winx, Nymphix!✨ (v. 2.0)

I first wanna shout out @wtchlings, @catlliecal, and @lordofthewinter for the wonderful help and support when redesigning Nymphix 2.0! Especially @lunar-draws, who designed the mockup for Aisha's wings and some of her outfit! Please go check them out they all have lovely content!! ❤️ It's been almost 3 years since the start of my writing, designing, and drawing Nymphix and my style has changed a lot, so the girls definitely needed the facelift in multiple ways! Below are each separate girl's designs compared to their original concepts! Thank you all for the support so far even with my very weird posting and updating, Chapter 0 is coming along super well and I can't wait to let you know more about it! ❤️✨

Also, just a little add on: If you are ever interested about Nymphix in general be it lore, design choices, why would i subject myself to this, etc. don’t be afraid to send in an ask! I would love to tell you guys about the world I’ve written! :D
