A smaller one of Nayana reading.
I hadn’t quite settled on her personality before, but I think she’s beginning to emerge. She’s one of those people who’s sort of quiet when you begin to talk with them, but soon launch into delight when you talk about something she has lots of information on! Which is many things, considering she reads a bunch.
A few ghostlines I forgot to erase here, fff.

This one is just too darling not to post :>

Nayana’s finished transformation. Sparkly!
I originally had thought that Nayana’s magical girl transformation sequence would be more mechanical. (Legit, she just sorta went into a closet-shaped “Automatic Clothing Device” and it dressed her with mechanical arms.) Mahou shoujo transformations always seemed somewhat mechanical to me. Using Sailor Moon’s as an example… Hands, gloves, bodice, each boot one at a time. So I thought it’d be neat, but there’s just something so wondrous about it being a magical action.
My pictures here have had her in her late Victorian/early Edwardian hybrid clothing, but she likes wearing her Sari at home. Partially because I have a gigantic weakness for sari.

Lilly here is awesome at costume design!

Good afternoon everyone! First of all I just wanted to say that we already have ten followers and SO MUCH support from you guys. Thank you so much for spreading the word, and I hope it continues to get out there.
I’m starting off the day with some of my favorite pieces from Sofia! She did these a while back, but I am ever impressed by her ability to create tones with ink and frisket film. These were alternate covers she did for a story about a little girl and her bird. It was quite cute!
