REPOSTOBER, day 23: the demon hunters (2020-2021)

a collection of drawings I did for Magpie and Ruby, featuring their OCs Grayson, Marcelo, Cai, and the Boudicca twins: Rhys and Irene in a grim yet beautiful fantasy setting.

Different ways you see the high cost of magic in fantasy

Magic burns away memories Spells age caster dramatically Using power causes physical mutations Each spell shortens lifespan Magic leaves permanent scars/marks Losing ability to feel emotions Magic addiction/withdrawal Forgetting loved ones Growing detachment from humanity Hearing voices/whispers constantly Magical debt passes to descendants Power requires human sacrifice Magic corrupts surrounding nature Spells need rare/illegal components Using magic breaks reality's fabric

[soupedepates]

Ysengrin getting kicked out of Tir na Nog because he had a child with a Queen Elf (he was in her harem, he was her favourite). They had a love child

But as Ysengrin is a human, this is against Titania's law. So Titania, queen of the faes, cursed the poor lady with complete silence and Ysengrin complete blindness so they won't find each other ever again

and Ysengrin raises their daughter Illüa with the utmost care.
