For a very dear friend for her birthday, I want this hung up in a museum
Winx Club: Tecna redesign
Our favorite tech fairy!
I didn’t like the Winx club reboot so here’s how I would do it, PT. 2
Throughout the series we mostly only get glimpses and small arcs of her character, and my goal in these redesigns is to flesh out and give more depth to all of our favorite fairies, witches, and warriors while still mostly keeping with the original show lore we all know and grew up with. Basically, creating a story that has now grown up with its audience! So let’s look into Tecna’s character!
Tecna, fairy of technology. (She/they)
Storyline, Character development, and S/O
I think our girl would be Demisexual and demiromantic, after all, “it’s not logical to fall in love with someone you don’t know well!” And maybe even use She/They pronouns.
There’s different resources that tend to change on whether or not Tecna is actually a royal/princess (Including an episode where they claim to be but it’s never mentioned again) so for this plot line I’m going to say that they aren’t a princess but rather are distantly related to royal family— enough to get invited to some events but not near enough to take over the throne without a SLEW of tragedies. They also have a little brother! (Mentioned ONCE in a coloring book apparently but never again. The girls need more siblings!)
For her arc, in series I feel like we only get bits and breadcrumbs for her here and there, SO I’m thinking… We see at the beginning of the series how much she relies on logic, data, statistics, they’re the most important things to her! Enough that she actually struggles with understanding and processing her own emotions (dare I say, autism coded) and also trying to understand the emotions of others. Being in the Winx slowly teaches and gives them that outlet to slowly learn how to understand people on an emotional level (to an extent, part of them always struggles) but also gives her a group of friends who understand her and work well with how she is. Helping them to process emotions they might not fully comprehend. They show their appreciation to their friends in ways of listening to want they want and maybe what they complain about, offering logical solutions or little practical gifts to show that she cares.
Also where I think a friends to lovers arc with Timmy is important! (I’m debating on making Timmy either Masc nonbinary or Transmasc!) Timmy also is a logical and nerdy guy, I think giving their friendship more time to develop would help us to actually be more attached to them as a couple and as characters. They first become friends because they are fellow nerds that love technology, video games, inventing, mechanics, anything with a complex engine! To the point that if things like the hovercraft or hoverbikes in Red Fountain need fixing beyond a simple tune-up, they get brought to Timmy and Tecna! It’s like a fun puzzle for them! Then as their friendship develops, Tecna starts becoming more vulnerable with Timmy, going to him with scenarios, emotions, and problems she’s having trouble wrapping her head around. She starts spending more and more time with him and even regularly plans out gaming times with him.
All of which would hurt more in her arch of having to give up the emotions they’ve developed and worked through in order to get the “water stars” to defeat Valtor in season 3 (I’m of the opinion we should give maybe 2 or 3 of the fairies and their S/Os the spotlight each season to have a chance at an over arching plot and some major character development. As well as smaller arcs for the rest of the group that might not get as much spotlight. Even though Bloom is kinda technically the main “protagonist”)
Season 1: Bloom and Stella with their S/Os
S2: Aisha/Layla (with the iconic Dark Bloom, I CANNOT take that away but maybe it can be more of a convenient side plot)
I’m still workshopping some of that on plot, I want each fairy to get the spotlight eventually, especially because the series tends to be very Bloom and Stella heavy.
Appearance, style, and magic
She has a shaved side that I think Musa or Stella would eventually persuade her to shave some extra designs into around her hearing aids that she ends up loving
At the start of the story I wanted to keep some of the whimsical fairy brightness that is iconic to the Winx club but still have elements of a cyberpunk aesthetic and maybe she starts to lean more heavily into cyberpunk or even cyber goth when she gets her Enchantix and Believix. For their Charmix upgrade I thought a couple iron-man esc pieces would be cool, where they get a sort of hologram mask that gives them active feedback while the armor pieces give them a boost. Maybe even amplifying her hearing aids where she can hear just as well or better than Musa’s sharp ears. Even able to pick up heartbeats and movement from distances
IKEVAMP DR: just a few things 🤭 I’m sorry for the lack of content! Uni has had me SWAMPED so a lot of my shifting or redesign stuff is currently on hold. (With sporadic uploads when I can find time)
my daily affirmation as an author
Oooooh I just wanted to say I saw your Stella and Trix art and it is SOOOOO good!! I look forward to your redesigns and interpretations of characters! (Take you time of course!) Also Briar is really pretty!!
Thank you so much 😭 I genuinely didn't think anyone read all of that. More designs on the way!! 🩵
Winx Club: Stella redesign
First of the Winx for my little redesign project is Stella!
At the start of the series she says herself when the Trix stole her ring (the ring of Solaria) that she was “essentially useless” without it. We also know that she’s having a tough time at home because her parents are going through a divorce. So for her character arc I’m thinking that at the start we have a classic princess character, the way we always have known Stella, very clearly spoiled, a princess, not used to doing things for herself or hard labor. She is overall a good and sweet person but just a little tone deaf to certain situations due to her status and upbringing (think a little bit like Lottie from princess and the frog). We see more and more how she is desperate to portray this perfect “princess” image in order to properly represent Solaria and make her parents proud, but then she slowly starts to realize that in order to be the heir that her kingdom needs she needs to do it more her own way, which includes learning to be her own person and not just “Solaria’s princess”.
She also has heterochromia in this version, she is a fairy of the sun and moon yet leans very heavily into the sun aesthetic, look, and power, making me think she also could potentially have an arch where we see she has issues with her mom specifically to the point that she doesn’t like seeing reminders of her mother in herself, so she doesn’t present her moon powers as much for a while.
In my version, the fairies have a sort of control over how their transformations look, especially their first one, so when she first gets her wings she has this HUGE royal princess dress that becomes quickly apparent isn’t suited for fighting and hinders her more, so she begins to adjust more and more as she becomes part of the Winx club and they get involved in more battles. She is still very feminine and fabulous, but now a little more battle ready. She also realizes and acknowledges eventually that she uses the ring of Solaria as a crutch of sorts to harness her power, so she eventually begins working to use her magic without it as well (which is when we start getting either her charmix or Enchantix transformation)
Potentially the armor additions could be used for all the fairies as their “charmix” boost that they keep once they get
One of the few things I did like from the reboot is that they gave us a girl specialist instead of just an all guy cast. And because this is my redesign, I think Stella would be an adorable fem4fem lesbian who gets enchanted by the pretty and strong Briar. I’d still like to keep the storyline of her partner initially telling Stella that they’re royalty to make it seem like they have a better chance with a princess (and to help out their friend), and I think Briar would be a nice foil for Stella’s character because she inspires her to be better as a person, to be more capable on her own so she can help her friends while with Briar, Stella is a nice reminder to not always be so serious about work and enjoy being fabulous and feminine while still being a badass.
Winx Club: Icy redesign
So I tried to give winx reboot a chance… and by a chance I mean 2 episodes. And surprise surprise I hated it. It’s not even all the changes I hate but the fact that they took away so much of the depth of the story telling TT^TT and the animation looks as stiff as the sims.
SO as someone who grew up with the show I wanted to do a few redesigns myself. Cause if we really want a more “gritty”, adult winx club (not looking at Fate, I refuse too.) why not add some things yourself?
SO my goal is to add diversity, depth, and maybe a little more interesting character design :)
Ideas so far for the Trix
STORMY: a black woman, DUH. But also need to figure out more character depth for her cause even in show she doesn’t get a lot… Also I think “Gravity” from the new Hazbin Hotel season 2 would be PERFECT for her
DARCY: TOXIC lesbian with the classic hippy, trippy, witchy vibe. Which would also make sense for when she manipulated Riven and spelled him to fall for her.
ICY: I have the most so far. I wanted to really make her more intimidating and scary, With her white hair in the show I thought it’d be cool for her to have albinism and to lean even more heavily into the ice witch look. So she has patches of skin always covered in ice crystals and looks like they’re frost bitten. With the albinism I think she eventually had a lot of problems with her eyes, so she has very low vision and a sensitivity to light, can only really see general, blurry shapes and everything tends to be very dim. WHICH brings her up close and personal for her combat style, while still far from perfect she’s able to see better up close. She also has a walking cane of ice that turns into various weapons when needed in combat…..
… Also she’s like 6 ft tall and always wears heels, so she tends to cap out at 6’4/6’5 daily.
Genderbend version of the characters from an otome game called “Ikemen Vampire: Temptation in the Dark “. Made these for the gays because imagine living with 12 hot vamps in a mansion? Sign me up fam. They do be intimidating me but i’m here to entertain.
The other 6 characters will be uploaded in a few days.
Used translation credit to @laurifakristalina
My bisexual ass is giggling and kicking like a schoolgirl so much rn 🥴🥴🥰🥰
The rest of the genderbend characters from Ikemen Vampire. I’ll prolly draw more of them when I have the time *looks at Comte* 👀💕
Part 1 here
I.. ha, he 🥴🥴🤭🤭☺️☺️ I am so normal about this. Hehehe pretty women 🩵🖤🩵🖤
F!Comte sketch practice. ( ᐛ ) ✍
I... I have nothing appropriate to say
IKEVAMP DR: more sketches coming along 👀 I'm also attempting to draw burn scars
IKEVAMP DR: Consistent art style? We don't know her 💀 at least he's pretty. He also definitely doesn't/can't grow much of a beard so I imagine it's mostly scruff if any
Oh to be tenderly held by le comte
Some sketches coming along 👀
Some interesting shifting/astral/dream updates I've experienced the last few times when I went through dreams:
being able to feel Le Comté for a moment when he pulled me in close
Leo gave me a breadstick snack of sorts and I could actually taste it
suddenly hearing a full piano rendition of "you are my sunshine", something I had never heard before. (I also have scripted that I would hear Mozart playing piano when I shift)
being in a big bookstore with some of the guys and actually being able to read titles for a few moments, cause I was specifically looking through the "vampire gothic" section and had found a book titled "the secret life of the vampire Le Comté" and I brought it to him cause I knew it'd make him laugh. Apparently someone had pieced together all the rumors and stories he had left over the years (though some stories weren't even him)
No one talks about how easy it is to slip between dreaming and astral when you're shifting. I've been doing it completely unintentionally a lot more frequently these days
IKEVAMP DR: I think his portrait is a little awkward but hey... He's an awkward man sometimes 🤣
IKEVAMP DR: our dear and mischievous playwright William! In game his hair is straight up pink 🤣 so as a fellow red head I think he'd be a sort of dark auburn/red as well.
I think he might have a habit of just letting his hair hang in front of his blind eye cause he just doesn't care/doesn't notice.
