This commission was ultra fun because this is actually one of my own players’ characters from my homebrew game!
I’ve always wanted to do more artwork for my players then just illustrations of what the monsters they’re fighting look like, but it can be difficult to find the time and motivation.
So, when one of my players commissioned me to draw their unicorn wizard Fairy Lily, I was super excited!!
Fairy Lily is the researcher of the group, think Daniel from the Stargate series, and a fairly powerful magic user when she gets into battle. I decided to illustrate an event that happened to her before she met the group, which was her exploring a temple dedicated to Nightmare Moon that she managed to track down. Unfortunately, this particular adventure wasn’t very fun as the temple was full of traps and other mechanisms, and she wound up losing an ear trying to scramble out of a spear trap. But she did find a really cool, and rare sapphire that got her into contact with Princess Celestia of all people though, and now she has this crazy job alongside some other, equally as crazy people to protect Equestria from the things that go bump in the night.
All’s well that ends well, right?
